  • I pushed carts, once upon a time. It was tedious, and the stray carts could provide trivial entertainment if you try to get them in the corrals from across the parking lot bowling-style. What annoyed me was when fat people would perch and wait (sometimes for six or seven minutes) to get a parking space that was only a few feet closer. If you want to take every measure to avoid even the slightest exercise, that fine. Just don't loiter in my path to do it. And have some respect for yourself.

  • Automatic-Like for what u said about shopping carts. As a former cart-pusher, I hated it when dumbasses left their carts in the middle of the lot like they did.

  • Supermarkets should stop paying people to collect the carts. Then we'll see if people change their minds when they try to park in a lot filled with carts.

    That sounds kinda fun actually. It would be a bit like driving through an asteroid field. ^^

    Though, perhaps those cart collectors should instead be hired to enforce people to put their carts back. They would be the Lot Police, equiped with tasers, driving around on quads and using radios to call for back-up if people become unruly. ^^

  • @KaptenN Stores like Aldi's do a good job by using a locking device that requires to to insert a quarter to borrow the cart. When you lock it back in place with the other carts, you get your quarter back. It's amazing how much more courteous people can be if they know their laziness will cost them 25 cents of their own money.

  • @GrapplingIgnorance Wait what? Doesn't all stores do that in America? I don't know a single store in Sweden that have carts which doesn't require a 5 or 10 SEK coin to unlock. O.o

    And just like you said the coin is returned when the cart is locked again. There are special keyrings made of plastic or metal which can be used instead of a coin, but you still wouldn't leave that in the cart.

  • you've kind of made me appreciate people more, before I started watching your videos, I would always choose the lazy way out and just leave the carts in the street or leave some type of item from the supermarket in wherever is closer to me rather than returning it to where it was. But after the videos you've made about things like this, I've stopped doing those sort of stuff.

  • @NeverlandAud That's great to hear. A little extra effort really can go a long way to making other people's lives vetter.

  • It Grinds my Gears when people don't give credit (or blame) where it's due. For example, this one guy claimed that Obama shouldn't get any credit for killing Bin Laden because it was solders under him that physically killed Bin Laden. He also claimed that the deficit, a result of the Bush Tax cuts, were somehow Obama's fault. I almost lost it completely when he claimed that the Europeans who went to North America and treated the natives horribly were mostly Jewish. It's a real test of my sanity.

  • It grinds my gears when youtube videos start out with an overly self-ass-kissing intro that makes up more than a quarter of the entire video length, and involves displaying text and giving me ten times the necessary time to read it.

  • My wife's head nearly explodes every time someone interrupts her. It goes way beyond grinding gears.

  • Why the fuck do people try to find parking spaces as close as possible to the store? Drive around for 10 min just to get as close as possible to the store...

    Just park in the fucking back!

  • @Zentz29 And actually have to WALK 20 feet further?! Are you mad?!!

  • @tremedar I AM mad! lol

  • Is it too hetero to say, "Would you fuck me? I'd fuck me. I'd fuck me so hard..." in a deep husky voice?

  • FLo from the progressive commercials. I would tear her up.

  • I knew a dialysis nurse that would leave shopping carts wherever in the parking lot. She justified it saying that the stores pays them to round them up. I asked her if it would be equally okay if I sent other people into renal failure since she's paid to work their artificial kidneys. She's been good about this ever since.

  • @waltonky Way to go. *High Five*

  • Hey GI, I just got to say my father has a firm belief that he must leave the carts in the lot in any manner he is compelled to leave them. If he is with me and I put the cart away he raises so much hell about it that I have to go get the cart out of the corral and leave it in the lot just to shut him up LOL. It seems to physically hurt him to see people do little things that help others.

  • @larsonb33 Wow- now THAT is something else...

  • @larsonb33 Does he eat kittens too? No joke, that sounds like some seriously sociopathic behavior.

  • @MrCombatveteran Gilless429 has explained clearly to you that this was a tag vid where several people (I was tagged by 3) wanted to know what annoyed me, so I told them. You misunderstanding that doesn't bother me; what does is that you said I claim to be an atheist, yet I'm "ignorant and against anyone doing something different or thinking differently" than I. First of all, I enjoy engaging people different than I, but even if I WAS against them, how would that make me less of an atheist?

  • @MrCombatveteran He explained why people's 'habits' as you call them, are stupid, and never said 'Do as I say or you're fucking stupid !' or anything, you're the only one doing that here. He was asked what annoyed him ("What grinds my gears" is a series tag), and said it. What, do you expect people to change everything they do when you talk about what annoys you ? Seems to me you're projecting here.

    And yeah, he's probably a liberal and left-winger. So ? That's an insult to you ? Take a hike...

  • What grinds my gears is when I go to the local mall, I'll ask for a cup of water from a restaurant in the food court and they still feel compelled to charge a quarter for it, even if there is a drinking fountain 100 feet away! I just mean seriously does it really cost 25 cents for some plastic and white paper?

  • @Whisper95Productions You aren't just paying for water. You're also paying for the plastic, paper, the employee who hands it to you, the management, cleaning products used to on the floors and counters of the place, the delivery charges for the stock on that places goods etc. etc. The 25 cents they charge you for water may also subsidize the costs of otherwise more expensive items. Their mentality is probably that if you don't want to walk 100 feet to the fountain, they can make $ off of you.

  • @GrapplingIgnorance Bruce Willis died at the beginning. Is that still giving away the ending?

  • @aphoxema No, but that's only because you didn't state what movie you're talking about, nor is it clear if you're joking or serious. Let's keep it that way.

  • 1:17

    Bill O'Reily must be your arch-nemesis

  • ...next is people who stand in front of the back doors of either buses or trains when there's plenty of other space to stand at, but no, they have to be in everybodys way when trying to exit off the bus/train.

  • When i go visit my parents who live across from a Lucky supermarket, I hate how their neighbors leave the shopping carts in front of their sidewalk. I'd see them all the time. My parents always roll them back to Luckys. I would too.

    What grinds my gear, is students riding on san francisco packed buses- with their full back-packs that they don't sling to their sides so people don't have to tightly squeeze through.

  • So I gather you don't watch "The McLaughlin Group".

  • @GreatG0dOm Nope.

  • "YOU'RE PROABABLY GAY..and that's alright. But it's time to grow up!"

  • Crazy bro lol

  • really, really, oh what ever.

  • I hate it when you're debating someone and they always feel the need to copy and paste what you said in a reply. Motherfucker I know what I said, youtube has this nice little function where you don't even have to look for it anymore.

  • When one makes a long drawn out argument against something, then out of shear defeat another makes a comment assuming an emotional state of the original commenter. "Why are you so angry over a comment. Don't you have a life?". Of course I have a life. Since I know my point! It takes me 1-2 minutes to make a comment that will hopefully purge one of stupidity. Well, and the whole "You don't have a life" thing gets old. Makes me want to tell em: "I have medical disability, get over it".

  • "This is going to be a short video" - one of my favorite peeves. How about this one? "Hi everyone, I don't really have anything to say..."

  • I dislike when people point out how hot women are.. If I thought she was hot, I'd know. If I wanted to do something, I'd know. And to be honest, to know that a friend wants to do her.. I don't care. An even better point, if five guys want to do the same woman.. I sort of don't want to be there when that happens. I'm not gay if I don't want everyone to know my thoughts, I just have nothing to prove.

  • I don't like intros. I can see the title. Don't waste my time.

  • @Morkindie You won't find "intros" on my videos.

  • @GrapplingIgnorance that is one of the many reasons to subscribe.

  • on the interupting one, I think some times it is needed, especially in our debates, don't know if you watch atheist experience, but they will interupt someones proof for X at the start if their entire starting premise is falwed, no point in letting them argue for 30 mins on something when the thing they start with is wrong and everything else is too. Though I would just request that can we stop here and debate that point.

  • @wolfwing1 Of course there are exceptions, such as on a show with a limited amount of time, but there's a difference between a constructive interruption and just blurting over people during a debate rather than giving them their share of time to make what points they want before addressing them accordingly.

  • I work in an entertainment venue (sports & concerts) and we have large trash bins set up EVERYWHERE. Apparently that doesn't matter, cuz after every event all the staff has to walk through every row with garbage bags to pick up all kinds of concession trash that people apparently think will disappear if they hide it under their seats. Is it really so hard to toss your popcorn bucket in a bin as you leave the building?

  • @blue4arekkusu People also don't realize their venue tickets would be cheaper if the staff didn't need to waste its time cleaning up their messes.

  • One of my first jobs was as a bagger. We were told that a clerk had to go out with every single cart and that we had to bring 3 carts back in every time. I'm not sure how the math was suppose to work out on that. Also people would get pissed because they wanted to take there own cart out, but we were told we had to take it anyway. I was so glad when I got into manufacturing and didn't have to deal with customers.

  • When I interrupt someone speaking I do it because I know they're going to go off on a rant in a million fucking directions.

  • @masterlinkmatt That's still not an excuse for it in my book.

  • This is my favorite screen view yet, GI. :)

  • Excellent Gripes - but your a saint if you can avoid butting-in to tangential bullshit especially if its clear the other party has just misunderstood, or worse simply ignored, your previous point.

  • @Artifactorfiction Not a saint- just an adult.

  • Actually, they pay the employees to take the accumulated carts from the corrals, and bring them back to where customers get them. They are not paid to go around collecting carts and preventing them from hitting cars. Lazy people just say that to justify being a douche enough to deem talking ten feet too much work.

  • @VapidZero Bingo.

  • @MrCombatveteran You do not seem to be familiar with GI nor with the what grinds your gears Tagging.

  • O come on, your saying when someone starts going a tangent about something completely irrelevant or starts preaching you wouldn't interrupt them?

  • @platypus4242 No, I honestly don't. I let them say what they have to say and then explain why it was irrelevant and move on. That's how adult conversations/arguments work.

  • @GrapplingIgnorance I still think you an have an "adult" conversation with an interruption every so often.

  • @platypus4242 It's "you're," son, not "your." The word "your" implies possession, while the words "you" and "are" form the contraction "you're." The latter is the one YOU'RE looking for, my son.

  • haha hilarious

  • You are a very wise man :D I am happy I found your channel :)

  • I LOL'd when you started talking about your alarm clock.

  • Everyone should work at least two weeks of retail. When I did I had a woman that lectured her son about putting things back in the store where he found them, and she was trying on like six different pairs of boots at the time, so I smiled because most customers are lazy as shit. I went to the back to get some stock, came back five minutes later and she was gone but she left a huge mess with shoes, boxes and that paper they stuff into the shoe was everywhere. I wanted to kill that bitch.

  • I had to google Nikki Minaj. EWWWW. You're a nigger lover.

  • @jsmith224455 Nicki Minaj is stunning, any heterosexual man or homosexual woman would be able to notice that. What's eww is racism.

  • @jsmith224455 And you're a racist piece of shit.

  • @jsmith224455 A. Sexual attraction =/= love.

    B. I am fortunate enough to people in my life that I love like brothers and sons who happen to be black or Hispanic.

    C. I have found myself attracted to different women from all ethnicity. If I was into the amorous variety of love, I wouldn't hesitate to love a black women, especially if she was as attractive as Nicki.

  • @MrCombatveteran By saying all of that you just insult him without answering any of the points he made in the video. What purpose did you think your comment would serve exactly ?

    I'm finished now, you can start insulting me.

  • @MrCombatveteran ...... U mad?

  • at the end of Titanic, the boat sinks... oh sorry, did I spoil it for you? :-D

  • Nicky Minaj? Seriously? Eugh.

  • Dear the FSM that point about interrupting was like you took it right out of my mind!

    It's a fucking debate! not a competition about who can shout the loudest!

  • It's even worse when they say it is going to be a short video and you look and it's 18 minutes.

  • Darth Vader's sled was Earth all along.

  • Yo GI, i work as a cashier at a supermarket, and let me tell you, I'm so glad I don't push carts lol.

  • regarding butting in before someone has finished making thier point, i do this all the time, but in my defence, i do it because if i dont say it there and then, i will have forgotten my original point by the time they finish speaking.

    I can see that it can be annoying though.

  • @bonnie43uk Then write your points down.

  • Well said sir. Well said.

  • @MrCombatveteran Read the video. Read the tag history. Read the point of the tag. Consider your likely accidental birth.

  • A heterosexual man watching the price is right? I don't think so GI.

  • XD I completely agree with every single one!!! Especially the shouting heterosexuality from the roof tops. :)

  • In the end the he dies.

  • as a newbie to trying to create video content here, i will take your excellent comments as gospel! and yes!mrsdarkmatter2525!please!!­!

  • @MrCombatveteran Hahaahaha

  • @GrapplingIgnorance I think MrComnatveteran was actually being serious

  • For every cart I walk back to the cart caddy, I know that a dozen people just leave them in the middle of a parking space. I know that what I'm doing doesn't make much of a difference now, but maybe people will see me doing it. And I can only hope that people are honorable enough to take an example when it's given.

  • Stock-people across the world smiled at you when you made this, GI :) . You're my ideal customer.

  • @Jaybird196 I actually seek out stray carts when I go to the store, and use those, then return them to the corral when I'm done.

  • @GrapplingIgnorance Thank you so much for doing that. That, and putting things back where you got them if you lost interest in the product, if you do that too ;) .

  • Typos.... I hate it how even after I check my spelling I still manage to screw up...

  • Great as always G. I. .. I like the tag to Mrsdarkmatter2525....I really hope she knows that her husband is a fucking genius!!... I would love to see a video from the wife of a fucking genius!... ps, if you hear the sound of aluminum crushing, he needs another beer ok? JK and lol :)

  • I hate it how 90% of the time the first words of a caller on a radio show start are "I just want to make a quick comment...." Is that not the entire point of you calling a radio show? To voice your opinion on whatever topic the host has set?

  • You sound like Warbot40.

  • i like the effect you used.

  • The thing, actually the store that pisses me off most is walmart. Never have enough registers open, never have shit in the same location in the store twice, the people that work there suck, the people that shop there suck...

  • hey !! i like to tell people how much i would do chicks!!

    and trust me..... im not gay, but the last guy i screwed was.

    ;)

  • Hmm, that title sounds slightly Freudian.

  • @rhbjorn, not really. At least, not in any of the supermarkets I've been to. The only one that I have ever seen them in is in the Aldi's stores.

  • Does Americans not have the little coin slot thingys on shopping carts, having people finding carts seems an unnecessary cost.

  • @rhbjorn Some stores do, but many Americans are so lazy that they'd rather not attend a supermarket that requires them to do so.

  • @GrapplingIgnorance hey thats my job damn it! haha lol some people can be real assholes but it canceled out buy one or two super nice people

  • @GrapplingIgnorance where i live, as good as every supermarket has this kind of deposit system. so no choice. and ppl stop being lazy when it means to loose money.

    and what grinds my gears is the fact that you are forced to hide your countenance.

  • @rhbjorn We have like a hundred Aldis here in the states (it's a German grocery chain), and they are the only places I know of that require them.

  • @mysterioso2006 I don't know of any supermarket in the Netherlands that doesn't have them.

    But being dutch we came up with a keychain holding a coinsized metal disc so you do not need small change

  • @rhbjorn They have those in Denmark too? Another thing that Danmark and the Netherlands have in common xD

  • 1:38. Tf00t. Interview, West burrow baptist Church

  • @JacksHacks2010 I actually watched that video right after I made this one. It was embarrassing. 

  • @GrapplingIgnorance i almost went insane watching that interview.

  • @GrapplingIgnorance Nice. That video made me homicidal.

  • @JacksHacks2010

    How about every Bill O'Reilly interview ever...

  • @HylianPirate278 Lmao. That, too.

  • I work at a grocery store and the cart thing REALLY pisses me off. The handicap parking spaces are NOT cart returns!

  • Thanks for taking part GI, great video. How do I become as awesome as you?

  • @YesIamJames You probably already are.

  • @GrapplingIgnorance Thanks GI.

  • You're very idealistic about how arguments should be conducted!!! But yes, it would be nice :)

  • So GI is really Peter griffin in disguise????? Look out M. Night shamalan!

  • These were all awesome points.

  • babysitters grind my gears

    the phrase grinding my gears grinds my gears

  • it's ok, i find myself attracted to black women... but not nicki minaj.

  • @thrillzonevideos To each his/her own.

  • Can someone tell me why people leave shopping carts out and not taking them to where they should be? i really want to know why people do it

  • @bjam89 Inexcusable laziness.

  • shoulda tagged peach, sure she just made a video but she's got like 20 up now and she didn't have that many before anyway. just saying.

  • im pretty gay for Rihanna myself

  • that's not all the shopping cart ass holes do that annoys me! some people even have the gall to leave their cart in parking spots!!! what serious ass holes, i make sure to point it out to them, every time. especially while i'm wheeling my cart back to the cart receptacle.

  • Hell i just want to get tagged so i can tag dm2525. :) Ow and you would hate to watch one of my animations. I am one of those that says "i just wanted to make a quick video on trickle down economics. Although it is more like what trickled down your leg last night" then again how long could it be. I animate all my videos. So yea it takes a while. So much for sound reasoning :)

  • @ShellySummers Tags aren't really DM's style.

  • I just am little worried that your calling people who don't make videos at all I know I don't make them cause they would sink.

  • The cart thing is so fucking annoying. It symbolizes what America has become and why complacency and apathy will crush America some day. As if it's not enough that people can go buy things for pennies on the dollar made by people living slave labor lives in third world countries, which Americans need to because they are too lazy to unionize or raise hell over inflation versus prevailing wages and too obtuse to think about how they wouldn't want to be exploited, they can't put a goddamn cart up.

  • @PawnBACM Cool story bro.

  • You know what really grinds my gears? When people say what grinds their gears on youtube. Oh wait...

  • I think you should start a tag MrsDarkmatter2525 tag.

  • @QuantumDarkness There really is a MrsDM2525. Crazy right? A woman that's couragous enough to marry him.

  • @lautz73 Yep there really is. You can often hear her voice on his videos. She put up a video saying she was going to make videos but she took it down. 800 subs, yep. As far as the marriage, I doubt that she knew what she was getting into. :)

  • there's a Mrs Darkmatter?.......tell me this isn't going the way of the Pacman series

  • All very valid gear grinding peeves!

  • Nicki Minaj?? *dead* lmao

    But I LOVE your list xD Lol

  • @DameAudigeleoftheRN Different strokes for different folks.

  • @GrapplingIgnorance Touché, love. Touché. Lol :D

    I'd take Halle or Janet, maybe some Beyoncé. Those are my main lady picks ;)

  • I'll try to grind your gears a bit less ;) Though I'm going on over a month not making a video anyway LOL

  • @tattooskin72 That grinds my gears too. Let's get around to remedying that, shall we?

  • I hate people that dont use the friggin car corral! damn you lazy bastards!! i get it if your handicapped or OLD. but the rest of you, STOP being so LAZY & walk 15 feet.

  • @imbored2 *cart 

  • Now stalking you on Twitter , Awesome Video as always .

  • Totally not a reference to The Barking Atheist there!

  • @oliethefolie Not specifically.

  • You know what grinds MY gears? When I'm driving and I fuck up when I'm shifting gears. Really grinds my gears.

  • @SabresGuy5 I thought about making a remark about a lack of oil on a bike chain, but I didn't want to get too far off topic.

  • Where are the BlogTVs? I miss you!

  • @ilovearmadillos I'm in Michigan right now. I won't be doing any until August, but it is nice to be missed.

  • cool

  • Last.

  • Hehe. Gear grinding...

    Mmmmhm.
