The Official *Things that piss you off* thread

[Stanley Rockafella]

Random boners..

I love em' esp when their awkward and happen at inopportune times

Makes me feel like an old friend from high school math class just came to visit (that's where I used to get them...there was this cute chic Erin I really liked and we used to joke around a lot, we used to talk on the phone a lot and she wanted me to ask her out, but I was a wuss. Then when I had a chance in university, she got all fat and unattractive and had some strange facial hair thing going on so I was like "naaaahhh").

stupid m*therfcking vibration dampner thingy on the tranny side of the driveshaft will be the absolute DEATH of me.

it will not budge and I have giant muscles.

I don't want to drop my entire DS just to remove the halfshaft.

FFS.

ok, here is the secret: the bolts and nuts are 17mm. the only thing that will fit on either side are a good quality combination wrench. (craftsman or better) you will need 2 of them as i recall. on the front side you will only be able to get the open end in there. on the back side put the box end over the bolt head. then get yourself a larger combination wrench such as a 15/16"(doesn't matter the exact one. now....lock the box end of the (15/16") into the open end of the 17mm that is attached to the bolt head on the back side. now you have about 4x the leverage you had with a single wrench.

the one on the front can wedge against the transmission tunnel. all you have to do is hold it so it doesn't slip off the nut.

its really nice to have someone sitting inside the car that can pull the parking brake to keep it in place. this way you don't have to keep crawling out from under the car every time you need to index the next bolt.

i do not have giant size muscles and i never have trouble getting them apart this way.

This week has really killed me

-Found out I have patellar subluxation in my right knee. Could possibly need to go through physical therapy
-Cant go running for awhile. That was one of the only things helping me deal with stress and help me get in shape
-Have spent $600 over the last few days on things I didn't want to but had to and I just got paid. That was extra money I was going to put into savings
-E30 isn't running. Hasn't been for like 3-4 weeks and it practically causes depression since I can't drive it. (Luckily last of the parts I need come tomorrow)
-My anxiety and stress is going off the charts

[IRON-E]

I drive for a living and, do my best to follow all of my training. So while I'm driving, I leave enough distance to follow accordingly to my speed. Yet, every cock sucker that sees the opportunity, cuts me off making that cushion space really small and most times non-existent.

People who text while driving and, slowing me down when there's obviously no traffic at all. "PLEASE GET OFF THEORY ROAD"

[SubDad]

I wasn't going to contribute to this thread because complaining spreads like the 'flu and everybody's morale goes in the crapper, but it's Monday and I'm Grumpy.
So:
Majour league: People trying to drive while drunk (Hypocritical here, but I'm older now).
People pretending that they can drive and text. They can't.

Minors:
People coming to a full stop at the bottom of escalators or just past the revolving door.
People bringing their entire extended family to the airport or F***ing IKEA or the grocery store and ... everybody comes to a full stop at the bottom of the escalator or just inside the door. (After 40 hours of travel, starting in the Rub Al'Khali, at my home airport a huge family group was at the bottom of the escalator having happy happy group hugs. From about half way up I yelled that they should get the F*** out of the way, 'cause I'm waffles coming through. They scattered, yeah!)
Text zombies on the sidewalk.
Rudeness to store staff, servers, cleaners etc. There is nobody who is not worthy of courtesy. Except people at the bottom of escalators.

People who fail to recognize that they share the planet with other people, and that they are not more important than anybody else.
Rudeness and lack of consideration, in general.

Vulgar behaviour or attempts at humour (Ref: Milan Lukic). Grade nine is over, grow up and get some dignity.
Which brings us to: Morning radio DJs and their forced laughter.

People who believe everything they hear without questioning. I like the line "Interesting, if true."

Neighbours who believe being neighbourly consists of threatening to sue, but with regret.

And those darn, pesky kids on my lawn.

(Mr. Burns, Are you talking about the guibo/damper bolts at the front end of the drive-shaft? I used a three foot breaker bar and sheer blinding anger. After each bolt I opened my eyes and thought "Well, I haven't brought the car down off the stands and I'm not crushed, so...Next!")

All the fucking commercials during the Walking Dead!

26 minutes last night, in a 60 minute show!

[Navarone]

People that sound like they're shitting while they're eating. Grunting and coughing and all that. Fucking a!

-My broken debit card that doesn't "tap"
-My broken visa card that doesn't chip, and will only tap after 10+ seconds
-My daily e30's broken timing belt/broken head/replacement head being worn to shit/ugly.
-My other 2 e30s that are nowhere near drivable.
-Idiots on the road, Merging into me, blocking roads/lanes, Highbeams all the fucking time, driving the wrong way down one way streets, trying to sneak by and merge further up than everyone else, etc.
-Volunteering for second-shift.
-Safety inspection due last month for the mazda, which needs 4 new strut mounts and front brakes at the very least, but is also my only working car, so I can't leave it at a shop for a day.
-Car payment on a car I don't really want, cellphone bill with a company that apparently doesn't have service anywhere on this planet, as well as all the normal home bills/mortgage.
-Working too much, but not enough.

I think almost everyone can relate to this.

-Can't work on car because it's my only daily now and my drz is draining power unable to be driven.
-Can't work on drz because I'm going to school full time and working 50 hours a week.
-Going through my degree progress and realizing I've been in school for nearly 3 years straight and because of changing majors I'm equivalent to a sophomore.
-Seeing how much school is going to cost because apparently I make too much money LOL BULLSHIT.
-Greedy motherf***ers who sue you because they're little bitches and don't understand you can't sue someone over something that you're doing illegally.
-Making $45k+ a year and pinch pennies left and right but life always throws curve balls at you and wipes out your savings.
-Can't save up EVER to go on vacation but it seems like all of your friends are capable of doing anything financially while they work at McDonald's.
-When your boss takes credit for you idea. :hitler::hitler::hitler::hitler:

I'd love to live in Costa Mesa but I'd have to find a new job which I'm either doing or moving. We'll see.

yea, and tell your lazy ass GF to get a job, or at least have some dinner ready when you get home

[Nick_S]

Its not for everyone. Orange County is a different world and you can travel into the beast (LA) when you want

my granddad was stationed on an aircraft carrier during world war 2. he told me a story once that the enlisted shitters were nothing but a big open room in the aft part of the ship maybe 2 decks down. he said that you had to sit on a bar and blast one into a little stream that flowed under you, to the back of the ship and out to sea. he said that often times around 8:30 in the morning there were up to 40 guys all perched over a bar shitting at the same time with no stalls or doors to give you any privacy. apparently, it sounded like a symphony of grunts, farts, plops, and such and smelled like you stuck your nose up a pig's ass.

That was a fucking image I didn't need this morning, thx man.

When you send someone a file 4 times and they ask for it again in a group email like they never got it the other 4 times. Adding to that, that they are your customer and you need to not yell at them in this instance since you need them to provide sign off immediately.

...basically I don't like living in LA. Time to move again.
