What REALLY grinds your gears?

Not a fan of custom avs or sigs. Junks up the board.

Let me clarify, I wasn't talking about the mods but all of us little people. Too many people who want to come in and use gawd awful pics that they think are AWESOME, or some gif that slows the whole board down. Matty has always tried to keep a level of class on this board, not every fan gets that.

You'll just end up with crap like this.

i don't see how a limited size jpg does that but i understand matty's point

Since when have mullets not been classy? To me that's the epitome of class.

Also I'm definitely glad Matty doesn't allow custom sigs/avi's on the boards here. Not only does it make a huge difference when viewing the boards on my slow-as-hell work computer, but imo there's nothing worse than someone posting a minimal post such as saying "this" in agreement with someone else (like I do), and then having their oversized picture signature take up half the screen.

Tonight my new gear grinding was people who over pronounce Spanish words at a Mexican restaurant. I really don't have any issue with people who actually know what they're talking about, but this woman was like, "Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrracias!" with a lot of tongue rolling.

The FDA. WTF?!?!??!

Coke changing their formula to abide by stupid FDA rule:

When the state of California added the compound 4-methylimidazole, also known as 4-MI or 4-MEI, to its list of known carcinogens in 2011, it created a problem for the soda industry.

The caramel color they used to give colas that distinctive, brown hue contained levels of 4-MI that would have warranted a cancer warning label on every can sold in the state.

And this wasn't the industry's only challenge. The Center for Science in the Public Interest petitioned the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to ban ammonia-sulfite caramel color. It's a request the CSPI repeated this week after finding 4-MI in samples of Coke and Pepsi.

And:

FDA spokesman Douglas Karas wrote in a statement that the FDA is currently reviewing the CSPI petition, but "it is important to understand that a consumer would have to consume well over a thousand cans of soda a day to reach the doses administered in the studies that have shown links to cancer in rodents."

So why ban it? Gears ground.

You should bring this to the politically thread, this is more just for little things that annoy you.

Sir, this grinds my gears, it doesn't annoy me, like certain other topics I post do.

Good day!

People who leave time on the microwave clock. I think it's pretty inconsiderate. I always think, "No, actually, I don't need to heat my meal for 13 seconds, but thanks for making me push an extra button."

For some reason, everyone at my new office seems to do this. On a microwave, where the only way to accomplish it, is to actually open the door without pushing any buttons. Ugh

I hate that too! My wife does it all the time and the microwave is my go to clock in the kitchen.

"Oh look we have plenty of time it is only 13 seconds right now."

THIS THIS THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Every time I use the microwave at the office I have to clear someone else's laziness first.

I HATE THIS.

Pushing a button is not that hard, but it shows not only laziness, but a lack of courtesy for everyone else.
