Nalis Posted 28 July 2015 Posted 28 July 2015 This is becoming "What Grinds My Gears", may as well merge. There are things which people dont understand which dont grind our gears. Like quantum physics.
Trav Le Bleu Posted 28 July 2015 Posted 28 July 2015 There are things which people dont understand which dont grind our gears. Like quantum physics. Yeah but one of the things that they don't understand is that this thread is for stuff that you just don't get, rather than it being really annoying. Which is really annoying!
Carl the Llama Posted 28 July 2015 Posted 28 July 2015 Yeah but one of the things that they don't understand is that this thread is for stuff that you just don't get, rather than it being really annoying. Which is really annoying! This post belongs in WGMG, get it right please.
Nalis Posted 28 July 2015 Posted 28 July 2015 Go for it. It would still make you a C*** No I wouldn't, especially when I spend the rest of the match checking how many likes my video got on Snappygram.
Haydos Posted 28 July 2015 Posted 28 July 2015 So basically you're just as judgemental as they are... just because you're watching a video doesn't make you better than someone reading a book. It just means you haven't any patience to indulge detail in a story and shallow? This kind of behaviour annoys me when done at a social event and people have organised to meet up and do something together... and yes, it does happen. For the same reason I don't get going to the cinema with your mates. You sit next to each other in the dark and don't communicate. Point? No, I'm not judgemental, I'm speaking of experiences I've had. I'm not claiming to be better than anyone but often family members etc will act as if they are when they're sat there watching I'm A Celebrity and I'm reading the news on my phone. "Get your nose out of that screen for once". It's honestly laughable. Of course it happens at social events, I try to stay away from it at all times. I play board games with my mates for example and it pisses me off when one of them just starts flicking through facebook when I'm explaining the rules. As it happens I agree with you about the cinema, I've been on my own a few times. It seems to be a popular place to take a girl for a first date, never really got that either.

Carl the Llama Posted 28 July 2015 Posted 28 July 2015 People indicate to take the bend in a one-way road surrounded by buildings. It doesn't grind my gears or annoy me on the roads but what else are they going to do, drive into someone's house?

You go to house raves and you also play board games. I have an amazing picture of you in my head now
Haydos Posted 28 July 2015 Posted 28 July 2015 You go to house raves and you also play board games. I have an amazing picture of you in my head now Don't forget techno! I thought about it a while back, I think they're at opposite ends on my list of interests but it does sound funny

Made a mental note to let you know. In fact you see quite a few of them in Holland which further bolsters my argument because how many nations are cooler than the Dutch? A couple of the Scandinavian ones maybe but can't think of a lot more.

Wymsey Posted 28 July 2015 Posted 28 July 2015 Post might be deleted but: Don't know why some don't think 'Chink' is racist...
Carl the Llama Posted 28 July 2015 Posted 28 July 2015 Croatia is cool (I've never been but it looks cool and looks are the most important thing) Croatia tries too hard imo. It's like you have stunning scenery, your beer's cheap, and your women are outrageously attractive and enjoy topless sunbathing we get it already.
Stadt Posted 28 July 2015 Posted 28 July 2015 Post might be deleted but: Don't know why some don't think 'Chink' is racist... Some people use it in a derogatory manner, I think it's the tone and the context which make it racist. Like the proper noun 'Indian' isn't racist but you start calling people "an Indian cünt" and it's obviously racist.

Apparently the new 'craze' for us oldies is that when you go out for a meal with friends/other couples, everyone has to put their mobile devices in the middle of the table at the start of the evening. The idea is that everyone has a good old fashioned conversation instead of checking texts/social media/news/FT etc. The first person who can't resist the temptation and picks up their device to check, has to pay everyone's bill. If everyone 'holds out' for the entire evening, the bill gets split equally. Some people just can't go 15 minutes without the 'need' to pick up their phone! How the fook did we manage before mobiles!
Rincewind Posted 28 July 2015 Posted 28 July 2015 I can't understand why more people in the world have an invisible friend than not.

It seems to be a popular place to take a girl for a first date, never really got that either. I found that being dark and unable to speak meant my dates went much more smoothly, its only when they saw me in the cold light of day and i had to talk to them that things went pear shaped.
RonnieTodger Posted 29 July 2015 Posted 29 July 2015 Some people use it in a derogatory manner, I think it's the tone and the context which make it racist. Like the proper noun 'Indian' isn't racist but you start calling people "an Indian cünt" and it's obviously racist. It's the equivalent of "P**i" but it's so common, that it's just regularly accepted as a reference to takeaways when it shouldn't be. For once, in that case it strictly refers to the Chinese (unlike P**i which is often used against people from more than one nation). My Grandma is Chinese and she hates that word. Obviously, it's not used in the same context as it used to be as much, but the ignorance is astounding. It doesn't bother me, but I can see why it would annoy her.

If those were my friends then I'd strongly resist the temptation to go out and eat in the first place. What a totally guff little rule that is. There's nothing wrong with checking a phone during a meal. Last time I checked I still had good conversation round a pub/restaurant table whilst being able to look at my phone intermittently. Maybe it says a lot about the people who do that than anything else. I mean you need your phone if the topic of conversation is polishing your mid-life crisis Boxter, the recent holiday to Tenerife and how the kids are doing alright at university.
Gary Eatfood Posted 29 July 2015 Posted 29 July 2015 People pay tens of thousands of dollars to want to hunt and kill a majestic animal such as a lion. Completely shameful.
Rincewind Posted 30 July 2015 Posted 30 July 2015 I'd win by miles nobody ever phones me. The others would have their wives or GF checking up on them. They could always turn the phones off or put them on silent. I'd get someone to phone each of them in the first 15 minutes.

Nalis Posted 4 August 2015 Posted 4 August 2015 Dont understand how Simon Pegg is in so many films. Went from underrated to overrated rather quickly.
