What REALLY grinds your gears?

Grinding my own gears here (not as dirty as it sounds) - I really REALLY need to look for a new job but I can't shake a ridiculous level of laziness on my part.

Our company got a new CEO last summer and he's really starting to push a lot of changes that make no sense for what our unit does. We're going through a massive re-org and they're moving us to a crappier location just south of Baltimore in order to consolidate offices. It was arbitrarily decided that the move is going to happen by 12/1 (should be a fun week before Thanksgiving) even though the new space won't be ready by then.
Plus, due to the re-org we basically have to reapply for our current jobs. The company is using the guise that it wants to make sure that people are doing the jobs they want to do and are most qualified for, but our re-defined job descriptions haven't even been published yet. Basically, it's like they're trying to start a brand new company and ignoring the fact that they are currently running a very large existing one.

I wonder if Burger King is hiring?!?before you leave, step up and share the dysfunction w them. they'll appreciate it, and you have nothing to lose if you were out the door anyways!

i am also grinding my own gears.

I really enjoy it when you pull into a parking spot and when you step out of your car, you step into a puddle of coffee or soda the person who parked there right before you decided to pour out.

i have done that twice now the past week. just poured out my old coffee right where i know someone else will pull up and try to step out of their driver's side door.

WTF is going on with me. another 10 years from now, will i be so beaten down and bitter from working and rush hour that i stop following the rules of politeness and civility all together?

winter is coming.once, i parked just outside the door of a gas station. i opened my door, stepped out, and stepped directly onto a beer can - attracting the attention of the 2 police officers drinking coffee by the front door.

i walked right past them inside the store, hoping they would know that the can was not mine. i was in line when one of them walked up to me and asked "this is a dumb question, but did that beer can come from your car?"

"no."

"have a nice night."

someone rummaged through my car the other night and took ..... my wheel lock key. it looks like a lug nut and sits in this nylon lil pouch that says "wheel lock key" on it.

they didnt take anything else. the only thing of value is my car seat.

someone also stole one of my trash cans .. again why? i assume it was some construction guys doing a job near by.

actually they did take all my change, which was mostly pennies anyway.

If your rims are somewhere between average and excellent, you should put new wheel locks on that thing asap. That sucks man.
