I must agree with whoever hates apple fans, but people who grind gears grind my gears (intended literally :D ).

Smug people on the Internet and people who take the Internet too seriously grind my gears. Fission glares at the entire "4chan anon" movement.

I hate the WE channel.

I resent somebody programming garbage for me based on their assumptions about what my "gender" would like to see.

People who don't speak English and get angry because we can't understand them at work. Like, seriously? Haha xD
I'm sure people say that about me not knowing Spanish :P
But everyone speaks English. Or they should do. :eh:

OcelotJay is curious how one "holds out" a sound.

Anyhoo, at the moment the biggest thing grinding my gears is stats. In the world of business - especially in government - everything has become about statistics: productivity through figures, goals and work objectives based on arbitrary estimates and averages. It's pretty frustrating when you've had a stressful day full of horrendous problems, screaming customers and complex cases that would be better off being consumed by a black hole only to have some simple, elf-like fool - whose only claim to experience is being taught how to manage a team - tell you off for "not showing commitment" with low stats.

I think I'm going to be committing my steel toecaps to something fleshy real soon. =ermm:

The fact that onions are in everything. They are approximately 1m miles beyond the point of which one can refer to them as vile. The crunch makes my skin crawl.

You know what really grinds my gears? When people send 1 word text messages in the middle of a conversation. It leaves you with no way to continue the conversation. That really grinds my gears.
