Vanity- What grinds your gears?
July 2, 2010

Posted on 07/02/2010 7:01:42 PM PDT by InvisibleChurch

Pulling out of the drive up at the coffee shop the girl utters, "Have a good one".

men who use those plastic sticks on the grocery check out lanes to separate their cans of beets from the next person's bag of apples. A man ought to be able to defend his turf.

when I say "thank you" and the response is "no problem"

Urban people who drive a battered car, but invest lots of money in a deep-bass stereo. The licence plate brackets will tremble, and any plastic part.

Many of them are crazy enough to think this display makes them important —I mean, people LOOK, right? They wouldn’t look at a WEAK man, no~~~! So the driver is often looking around in order to check if he’s succeeding in making people look at him.

It’s similar to a gorilla dragging a big branch, or throwing straw in the wind in one of those displays of territoriality.

I think this strange driving ceremony fills the foolish driver with a rare sense of being for once able to control his environment.

If they like music, fine, why do they have to play it for EVERYONE? If we’re in a financial crisis these are the first people who should be preyed on for tickets.

Political gear grinders:

People who think you are racist because you didn’t vote for Obama, when you know THEY are racist because the only reason they voted for him was his color.

Silly women who used to gush over Al and Tipper. (yes I know thats old but it still grinds my gears)

People who criticize Rush/Beck/Hannity when you know they never listened to them in their life.

Anytime Obama shows his sanctimonius face on TV and starts saying, “I ... I ... I ... “ - which is every speech.

People who pull out from side roads and you have to break to avoid hitting them, and then they proceed 10 MPH under the speed limit (especially if there was no one behind you).

They're probably the same folks that zoom around you (while your in the right hand land) only to slow down abruptly to make a right hand turn.

But who pays for the room then ?

Don't you think the chick should pay for something?

Or the one that stays in a lane that will clearly end shortly and put on their turn signal on at the last minute hoping someone will let them in. I have never and will never let them in ... If I knew the lane was about to end and moved over, they should have as well.

Number 2 would be check-out clerks who gab with the customer in front of you.

Number 1 is the check-out clerk who gabbed to the customers in front of me, one by one, about how wonderful it was that Odungbeetle was just elected. Everyone in that line but me was was all agog. I went through with a cold stare and she shut her trap up until I went through then she went back to liberal hysteria.

It was an awful awful day.

Well, that seems reasonable, considering what she could get stuck with if she doesn’t....She could be punished with Obama’s daughters.

"Those cars with the loud boom boxes".

We call them the "BOOM" cars.

Another Grind?.. We we're on line at the Red Box, when my Daughter sent me a text msg to say that the Sherek glasses have been recalled!..(try saying THAT 10 years ago)

That just made me laugh out loud, even though this lame-o vanity grinds my gears.

My wife and I call them “fivers” and “teners” ... those that drive five or ten miles under the speed limit. They are usually older men that can barely see over the steering wheel and wear the old flat caps on their barely visible heads. And it is not a phenomenon restricted to central Ohio, but all over the state.

I find black women (of all ages) to be the biggest perps.
