The unwritten rules thread made me think of this.
What really grinds your gears?
For me it is
-when people put a glass with liquids on my mouse pad
-when people ask for fitness advice (when they clearly need and know nothing), without paying for it I help them. And then they go ahead and do the total opposite and wonder why there is 0 progress
-cars giving 0 way for bikes, like they might win something when the hold up a bike
-DLCs
Bikes as in motorcycles or bicycles? If itās the former then Iāll ask thisā¦ Why do bikers assume that cars should give way when they come up from behind them, clearly driving more than the legal speed limit? Also, why do bikers feel the need to express their āirritationā when there isnāt enough space to pass between two vehicles at a robot?
I am talking about lane splitting in traffic. Yes it is legal.
It courteous and just manners. I have had many people that will go towards the middle of the lane, to try force me out while I am going 15km/h in traffic.
This is usually because the car will move to block the bike deliberately for some reason.
Personally I just carry on as I was if bikers come up behind me. I donāt move across in the lane or change lanes.
So often the bikers will just pop around my car on either side so I dunno what they intend to do and moving could likely cause an accident if I choose poorly.
If you are moving and especially on the high, yes definitely. As you get many bikers that just expect drivers in cars to know what they are going to do and weave in between cars. That is just stupid indeed. My scenario was more for traffic at crawling speed
On the subject of bikes, this guy was in my brothers year
My biggest gripe is starting something and getting into the task and then being asked to do something else immediately, then something else then again something else by the same person who then asks me how the first task is coming alongā¦
This is the wrong thing to ask meā¦
I have so many I cannot count, I hide my frustrations well up to a point.
TP not on the holder
Dirty kitchens
Touching my windows on the inside with fingers
Moving my stuff without asking
Spilling something and not wiping it up immediately
Moms in big 4x4ās with the kids bouncing on all the seats and just slowing down at stop streets.
Too many gear grinders to mention reallyā¦itās unfortunate, it all adds to my already overflowing suppressed anger. 
Everything I listed in the other thread
Salespeople
Journalists
Other drivers
basically, humans. humans really grind my gearsā¦
A very strong moral compass has been bestowed upon me.
So any rule thatās being broken, grinds my gears.
Kids not buckled in
Kids in general
Dirty Kitchen
Mess
People taking my stuff without asking
Updates
Salespeople - Oi, Iām a salespeople 
But you havenāt tried selling any of us.
Just wait my friendā¦ Just wait 
Hopefully youāre an exception to the norm, thenā¦
Example: Iām looking at a boxed to see if it has requirement A. A salesguy walks up, asks if I need help. I say āNo, Iām just checking to see if this thing does āAāā. Salesguy grabs the box, and starts reading it, looking to see if it has the requirement.
Thank you, you have just implied I am unable to read. If you knew the products on your shelf, and said āOh yes, it doesā or āno it doesnātā, fine, but donāt start reading from scratch when Iām already half way down the specifications.
Or I was looking for rubber LED holders at an electronics supply store. Salesguy walks up, āCan I help you find something?ā
āIām looking for rubber LED holdersā
āSorry, we donāt have thoseā
Just then, I see chrome LED holders, which are essentially rubber LED holders with a bit of extra bling that is removable. I point at them, āThen what are these?ā
āThose are chrome LED holdersā, with a tone that Iām the idiot.
I roll my eyes, grab them off the rack, and walk away shaking my head.
Then thereās my personal favourite. Back in the day, blank CD-Rs used to be about R50 each, and were kept behind locked glass. Fine, you come and open the display case, Iāll let you have your commission. But this one day when they were on sale, I saw a big box of them laying in the middle of the floor. Iāve bought them before, so I knew it was 2 5-packs in a smaller brown box. So as Iām picking up my first two smaller boxes, a salesguy follows me from the home theatre section.
SG: āGetting some CDs?ā
M: āYupā
SG: āMemorex, hey?ā
M: āNope, verbatimā
SG: āIām pretty sure theyāre memorexā
At this point, I just want another single 5-pack, so I open a smaller box, take out the 5-pack, point it at his face, and say āNope! Verbatim!ā
I start walking towards the cashier.
SG: āIāll ring you up over hereā
M: āNah, Iāll just take it to the cashierā as Iām already on my way
SG: āIt doesnāt take any longerā
M: āNah, Iām fineā
Iām already in the software section at this point
SG yells so the whole store can hear: āWe work on commission you know!ā
M yell back: āI know!ā
My friend saw the guy stomp his foot, turn around, and storm off.
(ya, I was a jerk, I know).
Then there was the time I bought a new car. The salesguy gave me attitude the whole time. There was a 3 week wait for the car. He kept calling me, asking me to come put down another payment so he could hit his end of the month target, which would be a 45 minute drive each way (the guy in the finance department was on my side with this one). He called twice saying theyāve got a different colour. I told him time and time again the colour was non-negotiable.
Soā¦ I put all this down on the ārate our serviceā survey once everything was signed, etcā¦
As Iām getting into my new car, one of the management came out and started giving me flak for not giving them 5 starsā¦
Iām a Financial Adviser.
We had a 5 minute gang that only stole computers.
Hit the accountants 5m from our office door but steered clear of the financial advisers
