It grinds my gears when, during an argument, I have several legitimate reasons and examples of why I think what I think and the other person just shakes their head and tells me no, completely disregarding any relevent argument I might have made.
I also don't really like when I have an argument about something physical, something with an absolute truth, that gets talked about like 'opinion'. I had an argument with Smith the other day about downloading programs and their capacity for spyware, which is something that can be investigated and proven or debated in either direction. But as we see here, it was a "different view" of something.
While I am on the subject, I also really don't like downloading stuff, but people seem to constantly be saying dumb **** to me about that. The other day I had an away message up about not being able to afford Quake IV this week and I got four separate IMs (three from this forum) that almost immediately asked "Why don't you download it?" In fact there is one dude from this forum who only IMs me JUST TO TELL ME he just downloaded things and that they're awesome and I should get them. Every single time, I tell the dude I'm not like that and I don't even like hearing about that stuff, and he always is apologetic afterward and stuff...but nonetheless it seems to keep happening.
I hate when I see people's desktop screenshots and see daemontools on it. That **** doesn't work and is virus-infested, welcome to 2001.
I don't like it when 'internet-generation' kids have this idea that they have a right to everything. I think the internet and downloading in general are theoretically highly responsible for today's generation of rotten, spoiled kids. And if there's one thing that grinds my gears, it is today's rotten kids.
Somebody needs to go all Boondocks Grandad on this whole generation.
It also grinds my gears when other mod staff take subtle stabs at me over petty things like whether or not I like Nintendo's new controller or whether or not it is possible to get Spyware from a downloading program. But that is par for the course here.It grinds my gears when I have a different view on something than someone else and so that person gets extremely aggitated for no apparent reason, blowing it completely out of proportion. Then they believe it's you who is angry, but it really isn't.
