What grinds my gears...

Not sure whether it's just me but there seems to be an increase in those ridiculously loud motorbikes on the the roads; they're a right nuisance driving past your house at ridiculous hours. If a car was that loud then it'd be illegal surely.

Agreed. Really loud exhausts do my head in nowadays. 

 

It really should be in the MOT as a decibel test at a specific amount of revs. If it's over the threshold, the bike still passes the MOT but you then have 4 weeks to make it compliant and resubmit it for a follow up check. Failure to do so would result in a hefty fine every 4 weeks, or the bike being seized if not paid after 3 cycles of fines/checks. 

 

Same with car exhausts.

Don’t disagree with the nuisance, but it takes about 15 minutes to fit/remove a muffler.

People who blindly accept what is published by the old media and then continue to spread it on social media.

Then spend their day saying social media os full of shit.

Not just social media but media in general. My mum is terrible for repeating what she has seen on TV or worse read in the paper as fact, especially when she adds her little spin on it.

The kick-off countdown at the World Cup matches.

 

I really hope a player has the balls to pull up short and fake the kick off so that it doesn't work.

Low effort, generative AI memes. 

 

Yes, you told chatgpt to put Russell Martin in a funny outfit. You're hilarious. 

 

So were the five hundred people that did it before you. 

 

It's going to be the new fish puns isn't it? And yeah, someone's going to post one in response to this because that's peak humour too. 

 

And I swear every time you make one of these the cost of replacing the RAM in my machine is going up a few pence.

Particularly when used for ridiculous and cheap attempts at political gotchas.

 

See far too many of them around these days.

It's like that A.I. photo of Brendan Rodgers as a Saudi sheikh I've seen a million times now.

 

Oh, wait...

I don't think I've been "rattled" in twenty odd years, to be quite honest. 

 

Faux outrage is where I'm at my most comfortable, it's my happy place.

People who get to the till at a supermarket and put stuff to one side, as the decide, seemingly (I dunno, maybe they plan this all along) last minute that they don't need one particular item.

 

As much as anything, it's bizarre. Do they have a mental wheel of fortune in their head?

 

Also people who, on finding something they already have going cheaper in the reduced section, take the reduced item and replace it with the full price item, rather than return it. I've seen what look to be well stocked reduced sections that on closer examination only have 2 or 3 items that are actually reduced.
