I love 9gag and its memes. I love that it has given me an idea for what lists to come up with for my Sunday Seven series. Today I’m tackling the “What Really Grinds My Gears” meme. Here we go.
(1) People who blast their songs or game sounds in public transport.
(2) Websites that make you click through several pages when viewing a list they made.
(3) People who get ahead in work (and life) not because they’re worthy but because they’re good at kissing ass or used shady means to get there. Life is really unfair sometimes.
(4) Gross PDA (public displays of affection). Yuck. Get a room!
(5) Simple but common grammar mistakes. If you misspell “loser” as “looser” you’re a loser.
(6) Annoying red badge alerts for phone apps. They grate on me until I clear them.
(7) People who make plans with you and then suddenly cancel at the last minute.
If you’re not familiar with how memes work, you can read up about them on KnowYourMeme.com.
In relation to that, I think this is pretty funny.

What about you, what really grinds your gears?
I am with you on 2 and 3 definitely! AND when I have to press several thousand buttons on my phone to get to talk to someone and get cut off at the last hurdle. That sort of thing causes seizures.
Ah yes that is a pet peeve of mine too!
Number two… 100 per cent agree!
High five!
