What REALLY grinds your gears?

[punch it in]

Im not sure what you mean by insulting. I certainly could care less who wants to wear what, or whether someone is trans, strait, gay, bi, or whatever. I think everybody deserves to be happy and i hope that Jenner helps alot of people by coming out. Just not sure that when you take the publicity /money/ into account that I consider her so "courageous ".
What is insulting is that ESPN or ABC expect me to believe that they are more moved by Jenners story than the countless other courageous stories out there and that this has nothing to do with ratings or money. Last time i checked the network had plenty of money before this just like Jenner.

well we are talking about the most self exploitive family in the country over the last 10 years maybe all time, unfortunately its in the conversation. To say they are not extemely calculating is naive. Im generally sick of everything kardashian, so Ill hate the family while not hating the cause of which they standing for. I support the equality Cait is seeking, but i really dont know how geniune it really is.

I just find it hard to believe it's all an act or just a money grab. There's many easier ways to seek attention or money.

Last I heard, Caitlin was courageous to an expected tune of.......500m

This isn't that high on the scale of "grinding gears" but I don't want to start a new thread for this. What is it with companies over-promising and under-delivering? Case in point "Prime Day." I would probably be more pissed if I paid 100 for a subscription only to see the weak sales but I was definitely expecting more from a company usually known for quality, especially since it was saying it would be bigger than Black Friday.

But really Jim Kelly is an inspiration to fight cancer as believe me I have had way too many family members, loved ones fight it. One aunt succumbed to it two years ago.

If you want to see courage......walk through the Cancer ward at any children's hospital.
We throw around words like courage and hero way to freely in this country.

Jenner clearly grinds some gears.

I have 2 oldies but goodies:

1. people on the road who speed up and honk their horn when you indicate that you are going to attempt to safely merge in front of them. If you need to speed up and are blaring your horn for a few seconds just to make, what is otherwise, a normal merge/lane change a closer call .... you have issues.

I had at least 10 car lengths to merge. Before i even started to merge I hear this horn constantly blaring. I start my merge and complete my merge and still hear this horn honking. i look in my rear view and apparently this white 700 series BMW and its old lady driver was the one honking her horn. she was soo far back when i started my merge, i was like "come on man!".

2. people who leave a ton of space in front of them STOPPED at an intersection and dont pull up when they are the car that is otherwise blocking you from getting into the wide open left turn lane.

yesterday, if this SUV just pulled up 3 feet, i would have had room to get into the left turn lane but the SUV in front of me was just blocking me enough. i watched the left turn arrow go from green to red but i didnt mind bc i assumed that there was another car in front of the SUV that i couldnt see and that is why the SUV didnt move up appropriately .... but no, apparently the SUV left a good 3 car spaces open in front of it.


i dont mind the minor inattentiveness. im not asking cars to squeeze right up on the bumper of the car in front of them BUT SOME SENSE OF FUCKING AWARENESS WOULD BE NICE!!

You just gotta flip the script. Watch the YT videos where they prank the telemarketers, they're pretty funny. Alternatively stop picking up the phone if you don't recognize the number. If it's important they'll leave a voicemail.
