What really grinds your gears?

I woke up this morning with a sore throat. So I bring some change from the truck when I walk into work to get a Sprite to drink to help soothe it this morning. Well I hit the button for Sprite and a damn Dr. Pepper comes out. Not only does it have caffeine (which I rarely ever drink anymore), but I hate Dr. Pepper. Luckily I have another dollar in my wallet and try another button. Another damn Dr. Pepper. Is it that hard to stock the right column in the vending machine or change the label of the button? What grinds your gears?

What grinds mine:
Crazy non-aggressive drivers. Drive with purpose people. Also speed limits that are obviously too low. 35 mph and there's no residential or even commercial on the road. Dumb. Also people who don't understand the middle lane can be used for left turns ONTO a road and not just off of it (Texas only). People who never realize that they have their OWN LANE at a right-hand turn, and sit forever waiting for the whole street to clear. Women who slow down on interstate on-ramps because they are frightened of the highway, so they wait until the last second and gun it trying to go from 35 to 75 in 20 feet. Also people who tailgate in the right-hand lane, when the left one is open. Also women trying to do makeup in the car. And I hate all those little stick figures in everyone's goddamn rear windows.

Have you ever mixed a bunch of different colors of paint together? It always turns out brown or black and gross. That's what the 23 flavors of Dr. Pepper are like.

Does anyone else remember the rumor that prune juice was the base ingredient for Dr. Pepper?
This probably grinds my gears more than anything...

That aggravates me to no end. The gridlock wouldn't be there if those people didn't exist.

I do that on a daily basis and will continue to do that. I have an hour and a half drive to work every day, and the 100 people in line do not, or they wouldn't have driven 5 miles under the speed limit on a one lane road for 15 minutes in front of me.
If I'm not driving to or from work, I wait in the line like everyone else. But I'm unapologetic.

Leave earlier. I encounter this scenario every morning and ride the bumper of the car in front of me to not let any of those assholes in.

Already leave at or before 6am. I'm not leaving earlier.

I have no problem with guys that do; if everyone did that, then I wouldn't need to run up to the front. But you and I know there is always a chick trying to text and drive in that line who leaves 5-6 car lengths in front of her, and is holding up the line anyway.

-Water fountains that don't have enough water pressure
-Motorcycles or small cars in parking spots that you don't see until the last minute
-People eating loud foods in quiet scenarios, like the people that eat chips in meetings at work.
-"Could care less"
-People who blindly love OR hate religions without actually knowing anything about the history of them or how they were shaped throughout time. Also without putting forth the effort to learn those things.
-Reverse racism that actually hinders the social progress those same people are claiming to fight for
-Absentee parents (my biggest one, I straight up don't respect parents that choose to not be in their small children's lives)
-Single ply toilet paper
-Dull steak knives
-People who are scared of my golden retriever. Man the frick up, he's a walking cotton ball wagging his tail 30 mph and trying to shake your hand with his paw.
-Driving ones: People that don't turn right on red, slow left lane drivers, trucks blocking two lane roads, people who can't comprehend roundabouts, non-cruise control users on long road trips, and people that think yellow lights mean slam on your brakes immediately.
-Fat people draining our healthcare system without repercussions and in some cases being rewarded with federal hand outs. I don't care if you're unhealthy if you pay your own damn bills, but once you start affecting the world around you with your nastiness, I begin to hate you.
-People who refuse to be open-minded about learning about Marijuana and how benign its effects are.
-Texas A&M people. Not the team, the people.

You know what really grinds my gears? This Lindsay Lohan. Lindsay Lohan with all those little outfits, jumping around there on stage, half-naked with your little outfits. Ya know? You're a... You're out there jumping around and I'm just sitting here with my beer. So, what am I supposed to do? What you want? You know, are we gonna go out? Is that what you're trying to - why why are you leaping around there, throwing those things all up in my, over there in my face? What do you want, Lindsay? Tell me what you want? Well, I'll tell you what you want, you want nothing. You want nothing. All right? Because we all know that no woman anywhere wants to have sex with anyone, and to titillate us with any thoughts otherwise is - is just bogus.
