You know what really grinds my gears?

I can understand.

Yes, of course. I remember he died right before my family got a kitten, and we named her Bindi.

What has been grinding my gears as of late are people that sit next to me after having a nice long smoke. I have to sit next so a smelly person while i’m trying to concentrate on school stuff.

Let me ask you something: Are you left-handed? Because I’m a lefty, and so are a few friends of mine, and we all seem to have the same problem. It’s actually a scientific fact that the two halves of our brain function differently, and left-handed/right brained people are often misunderstood by right-handed/left brained people (I say “right-handed/left brained” because a particular side of our brain controls the opposite side of our body). They also tend to have different talents that are associated with one or the other side. For example, lefties tend to be artistically inclined, and very intelligent but sometimes lacking common sense (I’ll admit to being guilty of this), they tend to have big imaginations, be deep thinkers, and occasionally lack coordination 8D . Righties tend to be logical thinkers; they’re the “quick, just react” type. Lefties like to stop and mull stuff over before they do something. Right-handed people usually have a decent amount of common sense and coordination. They tend to be good at speeking, math, and science (though I think science is also a lefty thing, because I’ve met plenty that are in to it, myself included.) There should be a thread for hand dominance :slight_smile: ! I think there used to be… Anyway, there’s my rant for the day. It may or may not actually answer anybody’s questions :laughing: .

But, yeah. That works on my nerves, too :unamused: .

TSS- I know! I hate that, too. That happens to me a lot in parks. It’s extremely irritating, especially if you can’t just get up and walk away.

Actually, I’m right-handed. 8D

Oh, well… Uh… Sorry then 8D … Just thought I’d try… It is true, though. But, quite frankly, I figured you were right-handed. You just give off that vibe (if that makes any sense).

I love left handed people because of my best friend. She’s one.

I seem right handed? Awesome. 8D I hope I don’t seem short, or obnoxious… o_0 8D

Spirit: That’s so sweet! I love how you compare everything to her. I wish I had a friend like that.

Sorry if I do it a lot. Sometimes I don’t realize I do it.

(I’m right handed and studied science, my sister is a lefty and studied art. But I do like to think I have an imagination of some kind. :stuck_out_tongue:)

Moving and sorting books and notes for keeping/donating/dumping at the end of an academic year grinds my gears at the moment. I just accumulate so much… STUFF and it takes a long time, and is pretty tedious. I have a lot of books and dvds.

And I bought… even more books today after I dropped my sister off at the airport- mainly an apparently polite atheist/agnostic book about religion (more Carl Sagan*** in style than Dawkins perhaps? I… hope?) and why it persists, a specific short Hindu text (because my main character is Hindu in my original stories) and an astronomy book, because I’m considering getting into astronomy. Bit of a random selection though I know…

I think I have a book addiction. Granted I am getting rid of a large number of my old books (bar my textbooks, fantasy series books and Horrible history/science books because… well they’re fun- other Young Adult fiction (non-fantasy based) is pretty much disappearing though.)

***Great now I want to buy an actual Carl Sagan book/dvd thing, Cosmos specifically. Especially because it would fit in well with my sudden urge to learn more about astronomy. (Why did such a man have to be die 15 years ago?! -sobs-)

I hate bad days.

Yeah, they suck. But I dont’ think anyone would every say ‘I love bad days.’.

the paranormal activity sequels. They seem to get more increasingly discreet and more terrible as they continue on with it.

That’s usually he case with sequels in general.

I was about to say something similar 8D

Searching for pictures of something on the internet and seeing my virus scanner showing me that it’s blocked an attack. It’s rare that it doesn’t happen while I look for pics of something. There have also been times when something weird would happen when I click on a pic. As if something is transfering files from my computer to something else. I want to change my sig, I know what I want it to be and when I clicked on the first picture my virus scanner let me know it blocked an attack. :frowning:

What really annoys me is how Freddy is treated in ICarly.

When people write the plural form “women” when referring to ONLY ONE “woman”

Ugh, I hate that!

When people pop their gum.

People who take forever to decide what they want at McDonald’s. It’s freaking MCDONALDS!!! It shouldn’t take that long to decide on what you want.
