RE: You know what really grinds my gears?: The moaning thread.

It grinds my gears that my SO almost never takes my advice. To wit, she went to Shreveport yesterday (about a three hour drive from here) with our neighbor to attend a drag queen beauty pageant, in which the neighbor is a contestant. Their friendship is peculiar; they're both high strung and fight on a regular basis. When I pointed out that it was likely that they would have some kind of falling out on this trip and that she'd be better off staying home, she assured me that everything would be cool and that I should just enjoy my weekend alone. Of course, the falling out has already happened, and she wants me to come pick her up after work tomorrow. Just what I wanted. Six hours of driving after a day's work and my plans for a quiet weekend doing as I please right down the shitter.
Thanks, honey.

What grinds my gears is agnostic members who post content which seems more theistically driven than agnostically driven.

Sometimes my compassion is misinterpreted and that can be unfortunate. Sigh, oh well, onwards and upwards...

Hangovers and how some people don't seem to ever get them.

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House

Doc Cthulhu's anti-hangover prophylactic:
1. First, destroy your liver with youthful binge drinking.
2. Get old.
3. Learn your limit.
4. Hydrate. Drink plenty of water after drinking.
5. Don't go to bed hammered.
Actually, 4 is only real useful tip. Well, and 3.
What's grinding my gears is I haven't had a decent night of sleep in weeks.

I fucking hate people that are super offended whenever they hear a swear word. When some one is offended by swearing it always makes me think they are childish and stupid, too stupid to even understand the difference between cathartic, and abusive swearing.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
