What Really Grinds Your Gears?

[JLCitadel]

Just backspace the picture out, thats what I do 

 

Hmm.. I feel like spoilers should be added, if you delete the picture it sorta doesn't make sense.

when teenagers who are spoiled think that they have legitimate complaints with society.

 

also, this needs to be in off topic, not general discussion

You know what grinds my gear, people that code like this:

//deceleration at top

int j = 0;

int i = 0;

 

//this crap is posted over 500 times and does jack shit

if( i == 0){

i=i;

j=j;

}

 

If someone can tell me why in the hell this if statement would be in a program over 500 times I will give them $1,000,000.

Agreed, SSD's are great and all but mechanical drives have better value and are still pretty quick anyway

 

I think an SSD for an OS is all that's necessary. Slow boots drive me bonkers.

[Lil Chillbil]

& he's your mentor? *part of me lost hope for the future*

 

He is the one who taught me to use cameras and stuff like premiere. Then last week he's like you know what I've come to realize that my sandy bridge i7 3x sli 570 workstation just isn't good enough for me. And this t4i is just to bulky to make this movie on" "so i'm just gonna buy a 128gb ipad and a black magic pocket"

 

 

Then he got on a bus and I never saw him again... so I guess life lesson learned...

People who hate on Apple products for no reason besides it being "cool".

 

People who hate on consoles because they're part of "PC master race".

 

Those are the two big ones that bother me right now. A lot come and go.

That's harsh, happened to me in elementary school.

When people tell me a console game looks amazing. When people say they don't need an SSD. When people drop 2k on a a Macbook to check email and use facebook. You can't see more than 60 FPS, everyone and their mother making a new thread about headphone recommendations instead of doing some research and asking opinions on headphones.

 

Calling my ISP to ask them to politely fix their shit before being promptly told to unplug the modem and plug it back in, and then (what enrages me the most) connect the modem directly to my computer.

 

Being driven to tears when trying to write on the back side of a piece of paper in a binder. Life must be painful for lefties.

 

The reasons that I hear people justify buying the Iphone 5 and the Iphone 6 in 3 months.

 

Personally I hate when the ATM machine is covered in spider webs and the way those dirty buttons feel.

Well...this...

I also have a putrid hatred for Kitchen salesmen.

One of them came to my door today and I still have him tied down in my basement. Im blaring Rebecca Blacks "Friday" so eventually he will lose track of time.

Anyways, carry on

No one hates on apple products because they're "cool", they obviously look good an are stylish, I hate them cause they're over priced as fuck and not that good quality.

 

I agree that's sorta silly, everyone has their different preference for platforms. Which steam might be impacting soon, I wonder :3

This, with added: When people have a technical issue and they want a push button solution, they call me over (even at school I'm the technical support guy) so I can solve it, instead of spending five or ten minutes doing the research to find the solution. When Mr. I-Know-Everything-about-Everything-Especially-Tech (Wow, long name dude) tells everyone a load of bullshit, thinking it's right, and then when I try to correct him, he just says "No, you're wrong, I'm more popular than you, shut up nerd." He also tries to get in my way when I fix someones PC, and normally makes it take twice as long. Still, I have scored a victory against him. I let him try to fix something once, quarter of an hour later and he was still stuck, making shit up, spamming the keyboard in CMD. I went over and plugged in the audio jack. Fixed. But anyhow, this guy is also the one who recommends 64GB of RAM, a Athlon 2 and a 5450/460. Scumbag.

One I've encountered recently is people spelling definitely as defiantly.

No, I meant as in it's "cool" to hate on Apple.

No, I meant as in it's "cool" to hate on Apple.

 

Hmm, I would almost think the opposite, don't more people own apple products then don't? Which would mean hating on apple products makes you a hipster. Then people think hipsters are cool? CONUNDRUM! Haha I see your point though.

Market share says other wise, but regardless.

I hope no one takes this the wrong way....just heads up

My friend and I went to a Halloween party last year but neither of us had any costume ideas so we just winged it.

I went as some 80's guy and he pulls up with a white button down, black shoes, slacks and tie, riding a bike with a helment carrying the Book of Mormon. I laughed for weeks after that.

Sorry the bible boy made me think of that

Best part of America is the freedom to hate whatever you want.

This is the kind of person that is beyond saving, you're better off just letting him do his thing and dealing with him in non confrontational ways.

 

 

 

But yea, this thread should be moved to OT.

[naca1227]

People who are intolerable of other people's cultures... And the Dutch! 

 

 

Seriously though, too many things to list.

Sounds like you hate a particular fellow quite a bit. Wish I could help you, I like beatn the crap outa guys like that. Being 6'2 200lbs and knowing tech comes in handy.
