You know what really grinds my gears?

I figured this might be a useful and fun thread for people who might like to vent a little bit and maybe don't want to wait until U/O Thursday or even just because it's bugging them at the moment. Can be pregnancy related or not, go nuts!
I'll go first.
It really grinds my gears when:
~People use anonymity to crap all over other people, because their to lame to actually own up to what they're saying. I'm not even talking about like using a SN or something, I mean actually being anonymous, and using the fact that there's no name or SN attached to them to crap all over other people. This happened to a friend of mine recently. I just figure if you're going to say it, man up and give a name to go with it. Otherwise it just seems like you're to cowardly to admit to something and I have no tolerance for people like that. If you've got something to say, then man up and say it to someone's face!
~ That it seems like everyone I know who really needs a GPS claims they don't need it. I know one guy, it always takes him twice as long to get anywhere because he always and I do mean always gets lost. He always blames Mapquest. Well yes, first if all Mapquest claims you can drive to London, so don't use them. Secondly, if you really don't like the idea of a GPS or cannot afford one, at least own up to the fact your bad with directions lol.
Re: You know what really grinds my gears?
I know some people need a GPS but I feel like GPSs (along with a lot of other electronic devices) just make people stupid! My mom called me in a panic one day b/c she needed to get to the airport but she wasn't sure if AirTran was at the North or South terminal and her GPS was making her pick one. Seriously? She has driven to the airport not less than 100 times in her life and knows how to get there so why even bother with the GPS?? Plus, once you actually get on to the airport roads it's a big freakin circle with plenty of signs clearly marking which carriers are at which terminal. So pick one for the GPS but then read the signs once you get there!
When MIL comments on my 'swollen' ankles or talks to me like I'm 5 about how I should be taking care of myself. Hello? What do you think I'm doing? Eating bonbons all day, doing drugs, and running 15k marathons? She acts like I have no idea how to be a responsible adult, and I assure you I do.
It also grinds my gears when people pull out in front me while driving and then get mad like it's my fault. Sorry buddy, you're the idiot.
This made me LOL
Breakfast : Bonbons
Afternoon Snack: Crack
Evening Activity: Crack fueled 15K -- woot woot
It's funnier now in retrospect but this woman honestly thinks I'm not doing everything in my power to keep her unborn grandchild as happy/healthy as can be like I have no vested interested...I mean, it's not my actual child or anything, lol.
when ppl tell me "oh wait till LO gets here" like ive never been around a newborn or child in my life!!! funny part is some of them are not good parents!!!
comments ppl make when there not even asked or being spoken to!! if i want ur opinion and asked n didnt like it my fault but if i didnt ask n dont like it u should of just kept ur mouth shut and not get mad!!!!
UGHHH and my MIL is awesome but sumtimes she says stuff that really makes me go WTF?? the first time they have been to our new house was the day everything decided to go wrong! my AC unit decided to go kaput so it was hot as all get out n here, my hubby decided to sleep n the spare/baby room n mess up the piles of stuff i had n just threw it all n the corner, plus we need a 3bdrm cuz somehow we cant fit and have enough room for everything!!! she told me if my house wasnt clean she wasnt going to stay when the baby was born!! my house is not dirty just unorganized and for her to say that really got under my skin. plus she tells me oh dont say that and u better not let him say that! Last time i checked its my vagina and child!!!! mabye im just over sensistive but it erks me off!!!
This.
I hate it when my nesting urges are tempered by 100 million plastic tag thingys hanging off of the new baby clothes that I want to wash RIGHT NOW. I spent the last hour cutting off plastic tags and other fasteners attached in 6,000 different ways to all these clothes. The socks and the wash cloths were the worst! Why does a set of 6 baby washcloths need 30 stupid fasteners on them? Redo your packaging and put the set in a frickin bag next time so that I don't have little plastic flaps all over my carpeting!
