Off Topic What grinds your gears

Think a moaning thread is on order

what grinds my gears currently is

the car manufacturers putting regular run of the mill services behind paid subscriptions

such as;
toyota charging to start the engine using keyfob
bmw charging to use heated seats that are literally installed in the car

 

Better not have most of my moans
They’d be political and the thread would get closed.
The examples you give are bonkers though.

 

Every major Supermarket putting prices up week on week,it's utter greed and profiteering on a grand scale!!

However,I may have mistaken this thread for a general moan type thing.In which case...It's my wife grinding her gears when she's taxiing me all over the place.

Awfully annoying!!

 

Using “loose” instead of “lose”.

Apart from that I’m quite easy going.

 

Failing my MOT on the brake sensor. Brake was fine the the sensor telling me if it’s fine was faulty. Lose/Lose

 

Crikey I never knew that kind of **** happened

 

BMW, I think with the new 5 series, but may be all of them, fit every extra to the car in the factory, then you decide if you want it turning on or not, sort of a good idea if a few months into owning the car you decide you want something

People pronouning 'Schedule' the american way.

And big vern.

 

Of instead of have, to instead of too etc.

 

The words “ with the 3 points Leeds stay in the premier league”

 

Adults riding bikes on the pavements usually alongside the empty cycle lanes .
People writing words with a z instead of a s .

 

Newsreaders saying “a spokesperson sez “ instead of said .

 

"can I get a cappuccino" (insert whatever).
No, that's what the barista, shop assistant, etc is there for.

 

Writing licence with an s when being used as a noun. Another Americanisation same as a z instead of s.

 

The White ****e, that is all.

 

been vs being

 

My BMW has just run out of warranty and now I can't search by postcode in the sat nav as I could before. If I want to do that now I've got to pay to have it reactivated.

 

This thread will never take off.......are we really a set of moaners & groaners, surely not??

We don’t need a specific moaning thread, most threads turns into moaning & whinging.......

But, whilst I’m here, it gets my goat people still believing teachers have a 9 - 3.30 job, really??....and then there’s the holidays! I’ll get m’coat.

Ps. I’m also with Kempton, youngsters using of, instead of have.

 

Vehicle drivers who don’t know how to use indicators at roundabouts, or don’t use indicators at all. Fecking scum.

 

Was just going to post the same. You wait to give someone the right of way approaching from the right and they turn off without indicating. The next car by then is on the roundabout and you have to wait while 15 or so following cars pass by.
