I just don't like religion period no offense to anyone. The main reason why I don't like religion is because it divides people not unite people. No one really reads what religion is telling you, it is actually pretty peaceful, but then you have those dick heads that try to convert other people blah blah "My religion is right yours is wrong" thats what causes war. Main reason of WAR is religion, if there wasn't any religion, there would be very little wars. I do believe in god, but I don't need religion to tell me he exists. Now I am not saying I disrespect peoples religion and culture, no way, i respect everyones culture and beliefs but I personally think its those few in different religions that ruin everything, so I just say, believe in god, respect others, don't kill anyone or steal etc, your all good.

Oh man, i turned this into a religious thing. There is no god. We are gods..... to ants.
Imagine David Blaine living 2000years ago. I'd bow down.

Anyways..My religion is better than anyone's. because the next commandment is:

thou shalt not harm anyone for this religion.

Now who's with me?

I'll join ya Mike.

"If thou spite thy mule by using octane that is less than 94, thou shall be struck down. Thy mule's action shall be called knock."

What grinds my gears is folks that walk around with a chip on their shoulders, acting like their above you or acting like I am blessed to have made their acquaintance.
I also hate chicks with mega egos, although we all need them to have some fun with (bring them down a little from the pedestal is loads of fun).

I converted to Pastafarian a few years ago. I like your religion Mike but the great and mighty Flying Spaghetti Monster has all the answers.

I hate people who drive and smoke. Pull your lazy ass over and kill yourself slowly, or wait until you get to where you have to go. Nothing worse than someone who has dropped the cigarette in their laps and go looking for it.

Tommy, that is sooooo weird, but at the same time sooooo awesome.

For the record, I'd like to point out that there is a very big difference between Religion and Faith.
Religion is a man made institution unfortunately tainted with Piety, Sanctimonium, Hyprocrisy and over the top zeal. The Sanhedrin of Christ's day and the middle ages church were fine examples of this.
Faith is a spirtual connection with you and God, unhindered by the judgement and rules of the fallable men around you.

What really grinds my gears is people who throw their cigarette buts out the window while driving on the highway. Just thinking about it brings my blood to a boiling point!!!

^^^ Thank god I just quit;

What grinds my gears??? This little piss-ant kid at work who thinks he knows crap about cars. He found out that I had a Talon and he's obsessed with me. He's 18 and one of the foreman's sons. Just to give you an idea, here's what he said to me today....

Him:

"Man, you'll never guess what sweet car I saw today!" (He regularly starts his convo's with me this way, bringing up some sic car that only few have ever seen.... Read on)

Me:
"Oh yea? What's that" (Btw, I am taking a leak at this time, dick in hand, and this punk's talking to me...)

Him" This Nissan Skyline, Twin Turbo, All-wheel Drive, All wheel steer, saw it on Auto Trader in Ottawa... "

Me: (Laughing, apparently he's best friends with the guy that owns the Viper SRT10 around here too )

"You know they aren't legal in Canada eh?"

Him:
"Yeah, well only if you drive safe and stuff, you have to get like a safe ticket and if you're not screwing around, they'll leave you alone"

Me:
"Uh, no, they don't pass MTO standards"

Him:
"Oh"

So by this time, I didn't know either to laugh or cry.

The moral of the story is, I hate people who think they know about cars, and everytime they open their mouth to you, you feel insulted just listening to them.

You should have turned and pulled a Jack Nicholson in Wolf.

Heh. Kids will be kids.

Nothing wrong with throwing a cigarette butt out the window, really. They cool fast enough that they don't hurt anything, and are biodegradable. I have issues with people that do the same thing with their garbage. (Tims cups, anyone?)

And if I ever manage to get my BMW, I WILL be 'double-diagonal' parking at malls. Because another peeve are people with '80s era junkers that park RIGHT BESIDE the nice car miles away across the parking lot, and then throw their doors open into it.

Oh this fat lady in my building has a little VW Golf. With smoke in hand she throws open her door, grabs her bags, and rocks herself back and forth to turn far enough to get out of the car.

She didnt just open the door, she threw it. Luckily the new civic beside her was JUST far enough away. On the other hand the bitch set off my alarm before that. I dont know if she hit the door or it was just the gravity from her ass pulling on the sensors.

Fat people in general grind my gears...

Political Correctness.

What ginds my gears? Well...

Government officials tailgating you while driving an SUV drinking a timmy's, smoking, and eating a chocolate bar they bought with their platinum visa. Then, without using their turn signals, they cut you off just to be second in line in the right passing lane. Then, you get out to five the bastard who just cut you off a piece of your mind, when you find out it's some fat girl who has a HUGE chip on her shoulder and thinks she looks good with the worst case of camel toe. So, because you are the flying spagetti man, you give her a piece of her mind, but she looks at you, throws her timmie's cup out the window, flicks her cigarette on the ground and takes off. So you get in your civic, and because you're wastegate line is cut, you have 1600 hp to catch up to her, only to see a stop sign ahead. So now you're more pissed because it's a 4 way stop and she doesn't know who's right of way it is, there's an ambulance coming and you can't move because she won't pull over because she doesn't know how to push the clutch in enough to get it into gear.

So, finally I get to eat my All-Bran Bar which tastes great....

Throwing cigarette buts out the window really grings my gears especially when it's done at night time and you have sparks that fly off the road like it's the 4th of July. And if it happens to hit my windshield in the process (like it did a few times on the 400) that's just the icing on the cake. It's no different than throwing garbage or spitting out the window and hitting someone else's car in the process. I'm sure that would piss most people off.

I fully agree on that one..and it pisses you off even more if you are riding a bike!!

Ryan...that was great. Loved it.

That also grinds my gears... OOOPS, I thought that said "loves" it...
I hear that soo many times a day from my female friends, drives me NUTS!

^^^ HEAR HEAR!!
Thoes mindless TV shows definitely put some shavings in my Synchromesh.
Don't even get me started on that one

Sadly, at this point I would be grateful to find a discarded Tim's cup along the side of the road, just so I could pick it up and smell it....

Or roll it up just to find out your a winner of a new suv

I haven't won jack this year and drink more coffees nowadays than ever...

I hate DSM's!

I was just kidding baby. It won't hapen again. You know that I didn't mean it, right?


Baby?

^^^ Guess who's sleepin' on the Garage floor tonite???

FACK, my wife and I often complain about all the TV-crap there is these days. Deal or no deal, apprentice, survivor, bachelor, the block, etc etc etc. arrrrrgh!!!!

Gone are the days of the decently written sitcom.

I'm also PO'ed at all the glorified zoomed-in gore they have on shows like CSI, etc. I love those shows except for the gore.

- Attorneys: These utterly dispicable persons are why our society is in such a stranglehold. People are afraid to do anything because lawyers come up with new and inventive ways to take you for everything you've got. Doctors are afraid to treat or help - for fear of getting sued. "political correctness" prevents you from calling a spade a spade - because anything you cay can be actionable.
Hell, even helping someone on the side of the road could possibly end in litigation if they tried hard enough. Of course, this is spawned by people's greed to take someone else to the cleaners, but it's the lawyers that take a crazy idea, and actually make it happen.

- Ironically, any all motorsports.
If gas is such a rare and precious commodity; something we are on the brink of running out of, then why do we have enough to dump into the thirsty tanks of utterly useless car races?
Everywhere I look, there are more an more "specialty" classes of vehicle racing, each one more stupid and asinine than the last.
How many billions of gallons could be saved if it didn't have to be wasted on brightly coloured machines going round and round and round and round.

Speaking of roll up the rim, It's that time again, isn't it?
Last year, we won the camping gear right now, I'd just be happy with one large regular.
Someone hook me up.

I have a few things that grind my gears, but after I list them I would like to say a point about dealing with it.

-People who always insult my talon, just to make them feel good about driving their parents cars (I have too many rich kids at my school)

-People who use road rage as a solution to other driver’s road rage

-Rich kids who think they are gangster (a few of us know what its like to grow up in a hard life, and I know lots of people had it even worse then me.)

People who give old people a hard time for driving a bit slower. How the hell do you know what they are thinking? Maybe they are scared to death of all the fast cars around them and the speed they are driving is what makes them comfortable. Be patient, these are the same people who waited for you when you were learning to read or walk. Try to show some respect.

Now back to dealing with it. I believe driving has become ridiculous. I live in a rural area now and its much more laid back. People who tailgate to get back at someone for cutting him or her off, or brake testing someone who is following too close is childish and dangerous. If people want to be idiots, just pull over and let them "go have the accident somewhere else". To retaliate to their actions with more road rage lowers you to their level. I may only be 18, but this advice has probably saved my paint, and my ass many times already. I see lots of drivers out there on the road doing this. Try to think of the people inside the other cars, rather then "that stupid SUV". You wouldn't follow someone around with your cart 2" from their heels in a grocery store if they walk in front of you, why do it in expensive cars?

Post-Secondary school students whose parents pay their tuition.


EVERYONE LISTEN UP, HAVE YOUR KIDS PAY FOR THEIR OWN EDUCATION THE FIRST YEAR! After that if they are serious.... help them out.

I like this. I never thought of it that way. Thank you younger person for educating me and older person. But seriously respect people. Who knows they may have fought a war for our freedom.

Having your alternator tensioner pop off when your turbo DSM is fully warmed up.

Last night an American grinded my gears big time (relax pervs, finish reading)

I pulled up to a stop light behind an SUV turning left. He did not have his left hand turn singal on (annoying) but was in the left hand turning lane, so it was safe to assume he was also planning to turn left, as was I.
Light went green. Guy just sat there. No other cars around. I took this opportunity to roll down my window to listen if his car was still running (it might have stalled) and checked the tailpipe. It was running all right. I also noticed he was on a cell phone and had a Colorado licence plate.
So I gave a little honk to let him know he was now allowed to proceed through the intersection (cause i really wanted to get through the light before it turned red again)
So he turned, and I turned. THEN he freaked out and while we were driving down a 2 lane street, he kept driving 15km/h under the speed limit, and every time I went into the opposite lane, so I could hopefully pass him, he cut in front of me, back and forth, like he was trying to trap me behind him. Well, since I was in a talon and he was in a crappy SUV, I managed to get up beside him, and as I was passing him he gave ME the finger. Like WTF!!?? Crazy Americans really grind my gears!

Stupid celebrities who come to Canada and protest our Seal hunt... get your facts together before you start protesting.

Actually, PETA in general grinds my gears. Im not condoning animal cruelty, but most PETA people are over the top fanatics.

A dealership taking 1.5 hours to do an e-test after grinding my gears. Then getting into my car to see the alternator blown.

Sarah, I'd feel better by making a call to the local police if you got the plate number. Drunken and dangerous driving, trying to ram you, etc...

Pretty sure they'd peg him at the border. (:

ya really......the ONE time I leave my cell at home!

HEY that reminds me of another thing that grinds my gears: cell phone batteries. They just suck!

Actually they are just being over taxed. Battery capacity does not adhere to Moore's law.

Yeah yesteday on the way home from school a newer looking z24 with ALL the riced out accessories (chrome wipers, stick on hoodscoop, type R stickers everywhere and a loud ass fart can exaust) cuts me off and takes off down the road. I thought to myself i'd just let it go, who cares. I travel down Little ave. until i get to fairview, (two lanes down to essa). The z24 is in the right lane and i pull into the left lane since i will be makeing a left turn in about 500m. I shift through the gears and am not even speeding as I pass the z24. The kid driving yells something i couldn't understand (over my music) and then pulls in right behind me as we roll up to the red light. Lights Green. I roll onto essa and move over to the right lane the z24 stays in the left lane, and rolls up beside me. I turn the music down long enough to hear them yell "piece of **** ricer....." and so on. I opt to miss my onramp and take the back roads home (letting me line right up with this kid at the essa lights just ahead of us. The kid calls me a pussy and makes some more comments comparing my car to his stool. lol. Light goes green, I launch real hard, and leave the kid in the intersection. He later passed me going about 120km in a 40km/h zone, giving me the finger. All in all, I have no idea what caused this kid so much anger. Pretty stupid if you ask me.
