It drives me crazy when you get in the car, turn my radio on and my favorite song is in the last chorus.

What grinds your gears?

    When people don't at least drive the speed limit. Omg!! I can understand if you don't want to speed because you have a warrant or something, but FFS at least do the speed limit!

    People at work who don't know how to flush. And don't know how to get it IN THE BOWL. The women's restroom on my floor is the stuff of legend around here. Port-A-Potties are cleaner.

    A lady I work with....no matter what you are talking about she butts in and turns every conversation into a story about her dog, her 36 yr old unmarried, ungrateful daughter that still expects her mom to do everything for her or the daughter's dog. I could be taking about my 3 yr old's poop schedule (not that I do, just an extreme example of how she can take over any convo) and with in seconds the story has turned 1 of the above or all 3 and none of it will have anything to do with poop...so annoying!

    Being held up in traffic by some &%##&@ talking on their cell phone. When Im in a wicked mood I will honk while the light is still red. The clown reactively always hits the gas and then slams on the brakes! Ah, the thrill of it just "ungrinds" my gears!

    When I think I have all the laundry done, only to walk into the bathroom to find a tiny pile of clothes.

    I hate it when someone tells me to smile. I can't smile 24/7 and usually when someone says that it's because I have had a bad day and they just made it worse. Uhh... probably a strange pet peeve but I am always complimented for how much I smile so I know it isn't because I am a grumpy pants. lol.

    This really grinds my gears :
    On the street where I live, there are two left hand turn lanes, because of the traffic congestion in the morning, and for buses. But there is no designated right turn. If your turning right you kinda just have to wait until all the lefties turn. Not a big deal, BUT, at 8 at night with no other traffic around, why is there always that one person who decides to turn left in the right hand turn lane? Did you forget how to switch lanes ? Can't figure out that if you turned in the actual left turn lane, then put your blinker on once you turned, and switched lanes you would end up in the same spot? But noooooooo, you have to block the lane for the righties who want to the right ........stupid people.
    My tolerance for stupidity is at an all time low.

    I was just talking about this one with my boss. You have to pick up speed to merge with the 70 mile an hour traffic people!!! They aren't supposed to slow down for you. Grrr.
