OMG What totally freaking uberly grinds my gears:

People who watch [asian] dramas WAY too freaking much, decide that it's so cool to be distraught and just torn apart by dramas so in real life, they are too over-dramatic about crap and make things 100x more worse than they need to be... It's... really... annoying...
My mom does it, this girl at my school does it, my other friend does it... it's so freaking annoying. D:<

I think drama in general is a pain in the glutes. XD

Most of the people I know are insufferably dramatic without Asian drams.

They are numero  uno on the list of  -Top ten thing's that make Yuu's 'urge to kill' rise.

Apparently, I take things far too lightly.
I'm only doing my part as a concerned citizen to regulate the Earth's critical drama levels that will one day destroy us all.( Global warming is just red haring)
You will thank me some day

.. of coarse I also say that about groups of people doing the 'hare hare Yukaii" ..which brings me to another gear-grinding rant.

The hare Hare Yuka;

The first time saw it I was...mildly impressed, yet hated the song with a passion.

2nd time I saw it I was VERY sick of it.

3rd-20th time I repeatedly  stabbed myself in the eyes and ears with a hot poker 

20th- 35th and I had stabbed all of my limbs and was working on each vital organ.

After 1,836, 612,320, 052 times there is no possibly way I could physically harm myself  any further. Thus I simply die a little inside each time.

It's not a very major gear-grinder, but when I see people come out of high school with the spelling capabilities of a middle-school chump, I get somewhat irritated. You've gone through how many English classes? And you still misspell every ten words? Hell, even your bloody web browser comes with a spellcheck built-in these days- and there's Google to fact-check for anything you aren't a hundred percent sure about. Chances are your arguments are probably obtuse, illogical and confounding anyhow- why make comprehension worse with atrociously basic spelling and grammatical errors?

Hm? Was that directed toward me? People away do bitch at me for it.

The irony is that I can spell just fine,it's my typing that sucks.

Don't worry my typing sucks too...but that is usually induced by medication that sorta leaves me...in...an altered mindset.

Which actually grinds my gears. Alot. I hate having to take medication that messes up my perception of things, and inhibits me from doing  stuff. It's okay when its just before bedtime...but some stuff I have/had to take a couple times a day.
Now, if I could choose to not take them I would.

Another thing that grinds my gears is how slow progress seems to be. @_@  I wish I was 'all better'. Gah~!


A paper cut to the togue when licking an envelope is a bitch and really grinds my gears too, btw.

Oy, oy. Lay off the paranoia. It was hardly directed at you.

We're on the internets. I'm directing it at everybody.

That reminds me of my friend's mom. She acts like the whole world is a soap opera. The reason for anything happening in life to her is some retarded response about sex. Anybody pissed off at somebody of the opposite gender is automatically in love with that person in secret. Or any couple arguing has always to do with "trouble in the bedroom". And of course a guy who hangs with a girl thats not his gf for even a split second is likely to cheat.
Yes, I feel like strangling this woman sometimes. There's no reasoning or logic with her. She's also extremely racist, but thats a whole other thing.

Wut du ju meen?  I C gud spelin on te inernet.  Cuz wurds can B letrs n we dun need vowls or nuttin, du we? 

Before anyone attacks me I DO understand that there is an accepted pattern of "internet-ese" people are using when they type like that.  But good Lord it's annoying sometimes.  There's a great book called Doing Our Own Thing: The Degradation of Language and Music and Why We Should, Like, Care  by John McWhorter that people should read...it's frightening. 
Sometimes I'm glad I became a teacher.  Other times I wish I had simply become a ninja.

I'm not Pyron, so I won't say anything... explicitly.

Ah, irony.

G.I.R

And then there's punctuation.

Ah, irony.

The sad thing is that it isn't all THAT bad. Yea, it completely lacks punctuation, but at least they spelled out all their words. One hell of a step up from a lot of crap out there.

Since this topic is still here, I may as well add my idea of 'acceptable'.

For an asinine 4-chan/gameFAQS mentality forum I don't expect to see whole words. In the insignificant scene of things it could not matter any less.

You're average posts where you have a point to get across, a few spelling errors and basic punctuation are fine.  After all, the internet is not serious business.
I do hate when people get on my case for not using bloody MLA standards for anything less than a persuasive essay.
That's a bit much.
