Rant Thread - What really grinds your gears?

My school just inserted another huge tuition & fees hike (T&F). The 2009 - 2010 T&F was $4,410 for the entire year. Normally, as in the past FOREVER, the tuition has general risen about 5%, but never more. This year, the tuition hiked up about 9 - 10% ($4,807). Ok, well, cool. That sucks, but the budget was cut but tens of millions of dollars. I was fine, I made plans around it, no big deal.

YESTERDAY, I received my eBill from the school. What's the T&F on my bill? $5,138! A 16% increase in T&F!? TOTALLY unheard of. I already didn't get enough from the school, even though I'm in their bottom 2% of neediest students (EFC of 0, gross income of like $21K-ish). RIDICULOUS. I already had to take out a private loan of $3,000 yesterday just to cover everything, now they throw on more.

I checked their financial aid site, sure enough they conveniently updated it with the new T&F and also a big huge note in bold about how wait times are going to increase because all the FA office staff is working on a project of "trying" to re-appropriate grants, loans and scholarships. Ri****ingdiculous. Not an e-mail, automated call, or anything. I'm glad I checked my bill, because I never would've known.

When people call their device by name when it's an Apple product.

"Did you call him on your iPhone?"

"I have that app on my iPhone too!"

"I have that song on my iPod!"

yeah.. sucks brah'. Mine is $3900 every quarter here at UCLA, it just went up for us too. then parking is $100 per month, rent is $1000 per month, then food. I'm at around $7500 every 3 months for school. or about $23k for the year not including summer session. My roomie is an out of state, he pays 6000 per quarter for tuition alone.
 
Im pissed about the damn iPhone 4, ive been an iPhone user since day one, and this death grip is driving me frickin' nuts, and the fact that Apple handled it so immaturely.

I will be returning my THIRD iP4 tomorrow for a Samsung Galaxy S, thanks to some advice from you friendly guys on the forum.

F**K YOU APPLE.
 
Number one on my list right now? Being sick at work! Which I am. Right. Now. Blugh.

I hate:
- People that ask questions during a movie. "OMG, what happened?" "Who's that?" "Why did they go there?" "She said WHAT?" ERGH.
- Ego trips. Why do people NEED to be right all the time? I can understand stroking your ego from time to time, and boasting your knowledge on a subject, but to walk around with this giant, super-inflated ego? ALL THE TIME? What an immense turn off.
- How stupid watching reality TV shows make me. I REALLY hate the fact that I get sucked in on lazy days off... when I could be doing something WAY more productive.
- Really dumb tourists. When you go on vacation, do you just forget to pack your common sense? WHY???

I've got more, but i'm too stuffed up to remember. :(
 
The Andro 2.1 update for cliq & cliq xt update (which is *hoped, not scheduled* for august) is a fraud. Marketing execs are keeping you in suspense until you finally get fed up and abandon your obsolete device that you wasted your money on to buy a new device featuring the latest android versions.

I am EXTREMELY AND THOROUGHLY disgusted with Motorola and will NEVER purchase a moto device....EVER. I'll stick with HTC from this day forward. Motorola has shown only disinterest in the satisfaction of their customers and incompetence in their own field. What other company releases a device with a retro-version of it's respective OS and the seems to have absolutely ZERO ability to update said device? NONE. Samsung has had a few hang ups, BUT NOT FOR A FREAKING YEAR!

I'm done with moto, but it pains me to admit that very few people share my disdain or my disinterest in continuing business with such an incompetent company.

I hate that too. The part that I hate is when people decide to show up to work sick and spread their germs all over the place. Stay home where you'll get better faster and leave the rest of us with better odds of avoiding getting sick in the first place!
 
Here is just a small list of things that makes me want to push someone down the stairs:

1. Left lane a-holes! it is called the passing lane for a reason and there are signs all over our nations highways that state "Keep Right Except to Pass" and "Slower Traffic Keep Right". These as chance would have it are not suggestions. I don't care if I am going 90mph in the left lane, if the car behind me is going faster I will move over! that's what you are supposed to do!! You're not supposed to hang out in the left lane and go under the speed limit! If you look in your rearview and there is a line of cars 1/2 mile long behind you...YOU are in fact an A-Hole!!! MD is the worst state for this BTW followed closely in second place by NY!

And P.S. if I am in the left lane and you are in the middle lane and I am clearly going faster than you yet you move over in front of me anyway and do not accelerate, it is not actually you who gets to give me the finger genius...you cut me off!!! Think about it!!!

2. Woot! Not the website that sells overstocks and refurbs at a reduced price, but the phrase "woot"! Really??? Do we not have enough words to express joy, happiness or excitement that we need to create more?? Enough!!!

3. Skinny Jeans on people who shouldn't wear them! If you button these pants and it looks like you have an innertube under your shirt??? CHANGE YOUR CLOTHES!!! Wear something that fits!!!

4. Belly shirts on people who shouldn't wear them!! See #3!!!

5. People who refuse to lower their window when at a drive through or toll!! What is with this phenomenon?? Is it really easier to drive a little bit passed the window and open your door and try to reach over it or back a little?? WTF ARE YOU DOING?????? Lower the window, that's what it is there for!!!

6. People in the airport talking so loud either via bluetooth or straight into the phone!! We get it, you're a big shot!!! Nobody cares about your quarterly reports, nobody cares that you are going to a Bulls game when we land in Chicago and nobody cares (no matter how cute YOU think it is) what your damn kid did!!!!

7. People who STILL don't know which side of the car their gas tank is on!! REALLY?? Look at the gas gauge people...there's an arrow that tells you if you can't remember which side its on!! Holy S**T!!!

8. People who do not discipline their kids obnoxious, nasty behavior!! No I do not have kids, but common sense says that you are establishing a pattern of behavior with no fear of consequence...for the future read: no friends, discipline problem in school, the office jerk, etc...

9. The NJ Devils!!! :D:D

10. Deli's who cut their meat too thick to put on my sandwich!! I have all my teeth and they work...if I need to bite down and pull the sandwich out of my mouth, you probably should have sliced the meat thinner!! ASS!!!


Thanks!! :cool:
 
You know what grinds my gears? Asians, Indians, or old people that drives 35 on the highway when it says on the sign 65 and then I would either have to tail gate them to make them drive faster or cut them. I know, that was very stereotypical, and hypocritical since I too am Asian but thats what I face everyday when i'm on the road. :mad:
 
1. My girlfriend refuses to send me topless pictures even though I've seen her topless many, many times.

2. Unnecessary Apple hate. It really makes no sense and seems to be reserved only for those who can't afford Apple products. There's the honest detractors who find that PCs, Android phones, etc. etc do more for what they need than an Apple product. But then there's the people who scream "APPLE SUX! IFAIL!" and make no other contributions other than the fact that Steve Jobs is evil. If you don't like a product, don't buy it. That easy.

3. Having said that, I hate Apple stores. Want to walk into one room that contains more pretentious douche bags than your local indie film festival? Go to an Apple store. And have they ever heard of these magical things called COUNTERS??

4. Owen Wilson's voice. It pisses me off so much that I can barely stand to watch any movie that he is in.

5. Last summer I was able to lose 60 pounds with no effort in about 4 months. Now I've barely been able to lose 5 in the last 5 weeks with maximum attention payed to it.

6. The fact that I cannot find a job before school starts.

7. The fact that my sister is 22, unemployed, dropped out of community college and does nothing all day and can't get a job before death starts.
 
Droid is a name of a phone. (Incredible, Eris, X, 2, whatever)

Android is an operating system that is used on many, many phones and other devices. This includes but is definitely not limited to Droid devices.

Droid =/= Android.

And it grinds my gears when people - even Android users and developers who should know better! - still call everything a freaking Droid.
