What Grinds you gears??

Tire kickers or cheapskates, nothing wrong with being thrifty, but if you have to rip off someone else to do it, thats what upsets me

people that key vehicles for no reason... Or people that just dont have any respect for others property...
 
Oldfordis better- IMO people who key vehicles *have* their reasons, which makes it even worse.

In other words, "it's better than being tortured" ;)

Last year I actually had to ask a friend of mine who those Kardashian people are, only vaguely remembered the old man from the days of the OJ trial and simply could've fathom why people have an interest in them. No, I didn't do some SEARCH as to me it would've been like looking up something deviant.

Nah. I just like to see how stupid people can be...... Just when you think you've seen/heard it all........................................
 
Typing up a reply to a thread, proof read it and the second you hit post reply you see at least one error. Then read it after you had posted only to find 6 more errors. Then find out for some reason when you click the edit button on the thread it does nothing. It turns out it only does this on the tablet and have no problem editing on computer. Go figure.
 
When you are rolling in hot to a public restroom to drop an urgent deuce and the person before you didn't flush, or worse, their aim was off. Seconds seem like an eternity sometimes.

Also, fart-can exhausts.

Me + Public bathroom = If I can't stand, I ain't going !
 
Oldfordisbetter- Sorry, what I was driving at (in my inarticulate way :o ) is that people who do stuff like that have reasons that normal people *don't even think of*, namely they're miserable [individuals] who want to share that misery by [messing] with people whose lives don't suck.

(Speaking of EDITs) EDIT: See, just discussing those people makes me have to use [substitutions] to avoid naughty language ;) Some [individual] keyed the really nice AMG Benz I had back in the '90s, right outside an upscale restaurant too. Never did get it looking the same :(

I understood what ya meant. :)
 
#2- being on a forum (to be specific, Camaro5) where some people think they know everything but in reality know very little. On that forum the biggest one that ground my gears was every now and then a thread would pop up where someone would ask the question Do you ever run your gas tank down to the low fuel light" or "ever see how long you could run after the low fuel light come on". Now the real wise so called mechanics would crawl out of the woodwork and flame the poster. One of the smart ones said you should never run your tank below half full because your fuel pump needs the fuel to keep it cool. One even chimed in and said he always fills up at 3/4 of a tank. To help defend some of these posters I would chime in and tell them there is nothing with running it to the low fuel light, there is ample fuel in the tank to keep the pump cool. In one post I even mentioned that running it out isn't really harmful to the pump, what hurts the pump is when it is put of fuel and you leave the igniton key on or even in the accessory position on a lot of cars, the fuel is on trying to pressurize the system and that is what burns them out. Of course they would turn on me. If that was the old west they would have rode me out of town on a rail. Quit that forum a while back as I got tired of flaming.

This is the only forum I have been on for a while. I recently joined Badger and Blade but I have only posted to the newbie page. I am new to that and probably won't post much at all there.

Dang it, your knocking my fart cans.

I have a set of aftermarket axle-backs on my car. It's only a V6 but for fart cans they do sound real decent. Been complimented on the sound.

But then again, you might think, okay premium fart cans then! :)

I on the list of foreign 4cyl fart cans.

I noticed that by some of your posts here. I don't see how you can take it. You definitely have more willpower than I do.

It's like walking on a 3 foot high tight rope. Ya don't care if ya fall. (but as I get older I may worry about my hips.....)

So I really don't care if I get bounced from that one.

This is home !
