You know what grinds my gears?

DLC is usually for hardcore gamers who can afford it. Casual gamers have no business complaining about DLC.

You know what grinds my gears? Pennies. They are worthless! I mean what is one cent going to get you? Nothing! They're a nuisance! How many times have you paid $1.98 with $2, only to tell the cashier to keep the change? I know I have more times than I can count. And besides, it take more that a penny to make one.

Kids grind my gears too, all they do is poop their pants, cry, and eat my food.

I don't mind some kids all that much. I think the more younger the more tolerable. If were talking fourth and fifth graders here then......

The smell of the ouside of where I live grinds my gears. There's a busted sewer line somewhere out there so the whole outside smells like a porto-potty got emptied into a cow pasture. It fucking stinks outside.

It seems like everything grinds your gears.

You know what grinds my gears? These people who always ask which things you like. For example, "Which one is better? Call Of Duty or Battlefield?" or "Should I get inFamous or Prototype?" What does it matter? They're both good games. Go with your instincts on what you want. If you're not sure, look up reviews and see which one has a higher score or rating.

While we're on the topic on inFamous and Prototype, I hate how people always make the "Alex Mercer Vs. Cole or Cole Vs. Alex" topics on GameFAQS. What does it matter? Will that change your opinion on the game or something? I don't think so. I think inFamous is better than Prototype. End of story on which game is better. People always make "Oh, Cole is such a wuss." or "Alex can pwn Cole any day!" Just leave it alone people.

You know what grinds my gears? The Witcher won't let me update the game. I bought my copy at Wal-Mart, I installed it and everything. But I noticed the game has load times that take forever! So I downloaded the update and tried to update but the updater said I needed a CD key from the instruction book.

I was like "Okay. Simple enough.". The updater said the CD key was located at the end of the instruction book. So I checked and it wasn't there. Just blank note pages. I looked up to see if other people experienced the same problem. Turns out, I need to e-mail Atari to ask for a CD key. So I e-mail them telling my problem and they e-mail me back the next day asking for the serial number on my game box. So I responded and gave them the serial number and they haven't responded in 2 weeks! Grrr! *full of rage*

You know what grinds my gear....Work training.

Get this, so my job requires me to take a training course on how to spot pedophiles, because you know, a flash presentation will teach you how to sniff out pedophiles. Anyway, I tried to sit through this training, and here's the problem...

They deliberately slow down the flash slideshow to 2 HOURS!!! Yes, we get paid two hours for taking the training, but when I'm finished reading the damn page, it doesn't change right away, each page sits for about 10 mins. The pages are 4-5 sentences per page. Also, it's repetitive, it repeats itself, literally. I couldn't stand it, I stop taking it.

Come to find out, If I don't finish the training, I'm fired.

What kind of mindfuck is that shit?!

I hate training, takes so long and it has to be dumbed down for slow people. Sometimes I feel boiling murderous rage when even having to look at the smug douche they paid to train me (obviously not always the case)

If you are worried about learning the course just read this article, it taught me how to spot stranger danger.

Understandably its no laughing matter but his arguements make sense.

You know what grinds my gears?
People making reviews, saying that they love Soul Caliber....Caliber?
CALIBUR!!! Why is that so hard. I mean if you don't really know much about the game and have never played it or maybe just once or twice it's fine. But how can you claim to be a fan of something, being unable to get the fucking title correct.
I know it's a minor thing but it just pisses me off, get it right!
Also, not knowing how to pronounce something. Rhi-you from Street Fighter or Ninja Gay-den...it's Ree-you and Guy-den.
Easy

Soul Calibur games are overrated anyway.

Agreed but that's not the point.

Well not really. I'm a fan of Joe Satriani's music but I don't know every intimate detail of his life. Get it?

Now replace Soul Calibur rant with online typing.

There's my rant.

You know what grinds my gears? People who say "tuna fish", tuna is the name of the fish, its pratually like saying "fish fish".

I mean how many of those people actually walk into a restaurant and orders "chicken bird"? no one thats who.

Why do these things even bother you guys? They are so trivial and petty. Think of legitimate things that grind your gears instead of people pronouncing words wrong. Like, who honestly cares how someone says a word?
