What grinds your gears?

Doesn’t have to be fab related by any means and let’s keep it light, but what are those minor irritations and inconvenience's that you could just live without?
Mine is accidentally buttering my fingers while making toast… 😂 |

When the dishwasher doesn't get stacked properly.
It would appear that in every relationship there is one who stacks it like a Swedish architect, and the other stacks it like a raccoon with Parkinson's |

Goldilocks much? 😂
And those that just randomly stop for no apparent reason? |

Mine is toast related and will probably cause most of fab to block me.
It grinds my years when I dip the crust of my toast in my tea and it leaves crumbs in the bottom of the cup, so that the last mouthful of tea is all crumby |

"Dickheads that stop at the end of an escalator or are so busy in their phone that they stop dead or slow walk… like fuck off out of people’s way! "
Just that’s not the worst one. The worst ones are the idiots that are stuck on their phones watching Netflix while walking downstairs and I have to say to them. Can you get off your phone please can you see how many people are behind you you knobend

"Mine is very niche but its connecting the case jumper pins to the motherboard when building a PC."
Every new motherboard I've had has had a jumper pin connector just put pins in and then plug that in course some don't have it granted.

Driving up to traffic lights and the car in front stops with 2 to 3 car lengths of space ahead, (I mean seriously why??), and then every few seconds they crawl and stop, crawl and stop until they reach the car at the red light, but when the green light come on, they are not prepared to move off and when they do, they slowly go through the junction!!!
Literally grinds my gears! |

"Car adverts that shows a great looking motor but clearly states not UK spec .wots the pint in showing something u can't buy lol x"
I get a bit fed up with that. They're all left hand drive too. I know it's because they don't want to make a separate advert for the left hand drive countries but still |

People on fab who's posts are so obviously self serving or ridiculous with titles like...
* Look at my profile, what do you think of me?
* Why isn't anyone answering me?
* This place is fake because I don't get any replies.
Give me strength |

People riding bike be it on pavement or road not ringing bell , when idiots at top escalator stop when they get off .
You're standing with 3 iteams and person in front with trolley packed so high you can see over it won't let you go in front of them .
People who go into yellow box stop. Who when you let them out on junction don't acknowledge .
Have so so many
Thanks so much |

Those who can't appreciate the fact that everyone is different and everyone is entitled to an opinion. Its what makes us all beautifully unique in our own way. So long as its not an insult then what's the harm in another persons view  |

I'm the Swedish architect there. I've gone on the basis that men generally stack a dishwasher better, but open to opinions on that front. |

what grinds my gears though...
another mobile phone one though: people you know (or don't know for that matter) sitting in room with you, perhaps eating dinner at the table and watching stuff on their phone that you can hear but can't see. not talking any kids here, full grown mature adults. I think phones are making everyone ruder. |

I thought long and hard and there weren't any. I’ve learned to live with slow walkers, people with no spacial awareness, double buggy’s and even crack heads on mobility scooters blocking the vodka isle in b&m bargains. But then I remembered toast…..
When you’re buttering toast & the corner breaks off, so you’re kinda left with a knife with butter & a chunk of toast. So annoying

People on public transport playing music out loud or watching their phones without headphones. People that eat or drink on the bus and leave their rubbish behind. Spitters. Anyone who eats sunflower seeds in public and leaves the seed shells on the floor. Residential road fly tippers. |

Slow walkers has always bothered me. One that I'm starting to find more and more annoying is people using their phone without headphones. |

I have Misophonia, so people chewing/breathing deeply/humming, especially somewhere I can't escape from.
People that don't know the width of their vehicle, and take up half the road driving, all of the road when taking a bend, or completely fuck up parking. |

Playing music/watching vids on their phone without headphones is becoming more and more popular....much to my annoyance. |

Rudeness, ignorance mainly.
People lacking awareness and empathy.
Those that think they’re the main character, we all have lives, not just you.
I really dislike those that are sowing hate and distrust out there in the world, we’ve more in common than what divides us.
