Do you know what grinds my gears
When it's really hot, you've had a s*h*i*t* of a day at work and you're fanging for a frozen Coke from good old Mickey D's. You go to the drive through and order a large frozen Coke, only to be told "I'm sorry the frozen Coke is in DEFROST, would you like Fanta instead?"
Do you know what else grinds my gears
When you hire a DVD from the video shop, get home have dinner and then settle down to watch it. You get half way through and the disc stops and wont play and the video shop has closed and you can't have it swapped until tomorrow!!!!! NOT HAPPY JAN

You know what really grinds my gears?
McDonalds employees who do not understand you unless you put 'Mc' in front of everything you order.
eg: "Can I please have a dozen nuggets"
*Puzzled look from employee*
"Can I please have 12 McNuggets?"

What grinds my gears?
Getting into a taxi with a newly migrated person who doesn't know where they're going, and expect you to direct them.
Seriously, if you're driving a taxi and when asked to take me to a bowling centre, you take me to a train station, then you have no business driving a taxi.
Get a real job.

People who constantly stare at our car (I had a little accident whilst changing lanes) and my husband yells out "It's true what they say about women drivers"
HA HA HA

Old people who shouldn't be driving as they have seemingly forgotten how to drive at speeds faster than a snail and have no sense of direction.
Also, old people who decide it's a good idea to stop and have a chat in an entrance to a shop. IT'S AN ENTRANCE, PEOPLE WANT TO WALK THROUGH IT!!!

What really grinds my gears is the TV networks.
Firstly, the way they find out who is watching what shows. Having select people who represent large numbers of possible viewers is not accurate.
Secondly, why do TV networks hold on to shows for ages before airing them? I know there is a ratings season but that sort of leads me to my final point.
Why do they put shows on the TV when it's good for them? I don't want to wait up to five months and then watch a show at 8:30pm?
I want to watch shows when I want. Not when they want me to watch them.
This doesn't really grind my gears anymore but having 3 minutes straight of ads is quite annoying when it happens 3 times every half hour.

When you start a game with the first 7 or 8 and your lane breaks down for 10 minutes.
The way AMF treat league and tournament bowlers, expecting them to pay out vast sums of moula each week in order for them to turn out this sh*t on a weekly basis that's allegedly called service where nothing works properly and nothing's maintained

1. Individuals involved with Adelaide United whinging about the referring. Even if the referee was pro Adelaide it wouldn't have altered the result.
2. Cameron White, Shane Watson and Shaun Tait bowling pie after pie. Its no wonder we keep losing!
