1. People who chew with their mouth open and then leave their mouth open to clean their teeth with their tongue. I called my grandma on it Thursday at Thanksgiving. She stood behind the couch over my shoulder eating a cookie. Then cleaned her teeth right in my ear with her tongue and mouth open. I just turned around and asked her if she was really still eating the same cookie she'd been eating for 5 minutes.
A few days ago, I had to drive some of my basketball players to a practice and one of them had a bag of chips and was chewing with his mouth completely open. I told him if he continued to do it I would stop the van and make him stand outside til he was finished.
Bottom line...eating with your mouth open is ridiculously rude and inconsiderate of others.
2. People who whine and complain about how bad America is and how we've been doing everything wrong for hundreds of years and we need to change it. We have to cater to the minorities requests, but our feelings are ignored.
For example, gay marriage. My professor in college was gay and constantly would bash on our country because we were unfair to him. He said he would throw away invitations to heterosexual weddings because it was discriminatory towards him, but we as a country should change the way we do things because of an extremely small minority.
Also gun laws...people who think we shouldn't be able to own guns.
Bottom line is, what really "grinds my gears" are these people who complain about how bad our country is and try to change every stance our country has had for hundreds of years. If it is truly that bad, then move to another country. Period.
3. People on message boards, usually liberals who are smug and quick to shoot down everyone else's opinion, rather than listening to them first, simply because they saw or read something about it in the media. It HAS to be their way and only their way and if you don't agree with them 100% then you MUST be an idiot. They refuse to discuss anything, they'd rather just call names and try to make everyone with a different viewpoint look stupid.
4. Pedophiles.
I could do without these 4 types of people.
