The grinds my gears thread

[HollywoodLeo]

I would wonder aloud why they should care about the guys that jump in and say it's fake? Odds are, those individuals don't like wrestling. It shouldn't really matter what "they" think because you're still going to watch it and be a fan. It's like people who drop in to say "OMG DID YOU KNOW NPH IS GAY!" as if that should be a deterrent to stop watching How I Met Your Mother.

Nobody really cares and they're usually met with one-line responses of "no shit, sherlock". I'm just using this thread for its intended purpose to scoff at the morons.

But every so often some douche wrestling fan seems to care more than others and argues that it "IS REAL!" citing real injuries and the amount of training needed to pull off the choreography as what makes it "real".

Speaking of the Wrestler, of all past or present wrestlers.. why Ernest "The Cat" Miller as the "foe"? What went into that process to determine who would be the Ram's rival?

buff bagwell was busy that week.

Why do a lot of children cartoons these days involve a lot of screaming and screechy and whiny voices?

people who post a message on their facebook wall that's obviously directed at a specific person.

Southern California weather forecasters' bias toward hot weather.

"For those who are tired of mid-80 degree high temperatures, here's some good news. The entire next week is going to warm up to 100 degrees. Enjoy the weather."

100 would be cooler than what's it's been out here.

old post, but it cracked me up immensely.

People who create facebook fan pages based off fictional characters and use them like their own personal FB page, making posts that have little to nothing to do with the character or whatever they're posing as.

Ha, my brother in law's dad does that. 'Herman Munster'. Couldn't stand the guy before this anyway.

Vague/ambiguous thread titles. Just tell me what the thread is about in the title.

for starters it prevents inadvertant duplicate threads because nobody overlooks your thread not knowing what it's about to report the same thing.

Secondly, coercing me into opening a thread about a subject I have no interest into discussing with a vague or ambiguous thread title isn't going to coax me into discussing it. It would only coax me into rolling my eyes and closing the tab.

Annoying commercials really grind my gears.

Some examples

Any commercial where they have 4 or 5 different people all repeating the same sentence in fragments, culminating in hearing the product repeated 100 times over. (prescription drug commercials are really bad at this. Also, that commercial they constantly air in between innings on MLB.TV)

Those annoying as hell "Saved by zero" commercials

Those annoying Bud Light commercials where they tell you that Bud Light is better than other light beers because rain is easier to drink than hail.

I can go on and on with this regard.

KFC has a commercial now that asks "what part of the chicken do nuggets come from?" then go on to tell us that their chefs don't make nuggets, they make popcorn chicken!

Ok, geniuses, what part of the chicken does "popcorn" come from?

Thank you! I so thought that the first time I saw that Commercial! Unreal. I want to meet someone that actually says... "You know KFC has a point..."
