What REALLY grinds your gears?

This (http://washingtonexaminer.com/news/world/2012/01/marines-career-threatened-controversial-rules-engagement/2127401) is what grinds my gears:

Joshua Waddell, a first lieutenant in the U.S. Marines, appeared on his way to a stellar career as an American military officer. The son of a retired Navy SEAL commander, Waddell was awarded a Bronze Star during his first tour of duty in Afghanistan and had returned for a second.
Then he made a decision in combat that military experts say has severely jeopardized his future in the corps.

But some military experts say the black mark on Waddell's record was undeserved, that he and other young American officers are being put in a difficult, if not impossible, situation by unreasonable rules of engagement foisted upon the military by politically sensitive commanders in the Pentagon.

After you read the 'incident' try to picture the desk jockey that came up with the ROE.

That's crazy. They definitely need to clear up the ROE, because I'd be pissed if that happened to me.

Work grinds my gears. Cramps my style too.

This is just like 'What's My Line', today won't be a waste after all!

lol good one

Just type the first letter and it'll automatically scroll down. :)

When you type in V for Va it does pull up the states but it starts with Vermont. So then you have to scroll down to Va and hit enter. So what I'm saying is that they make it a three step process when I could have just typed in Va and kept going. I guess it does not grind my gears I just think its stupid I have to go through 3 steps to type in va.

I bank with Citibank and my cell is with AT&T. Generally speaking the customer service is good. But God..and this may sound a little racist or whatever, but I hate getting transferred to the call centers in India. It's like they don't what the **** is going on..and you can tell they're reading a script the entire time. For instance, if you interrupt them it totally throws them off and they have to get back on track. It's like a huge waste of ****ing time.

But the part that really pisses me off is if you're going through the automated system, they will ask you if you want to speak to an agent press 0..but then they make you jump through three more hoops as if you're not really, really sure you want a live person. I'm usually so pissed when I get to someone I have to take a deep breath.

So what really grinds my gears? Shitty ****ing customer service that ain't customer service at all.

Oh, and if you want to shred 1-5 (or 6,7 and 8 if you're one of those flashy car owners) this should do it:

Afghan soldiers killing US soldiers (http://www.theusreport.com/the-us-report/2012/1/26/afghan-soldiers-killing-us-soldiers-are-we-being-kept-in-the.html)

Afghan soldiers turned guns on their US and NATO trainers more in 2011 than perhaps any other year, and the military organization running the war in Afghanistan has responded by choosing not to report details of these incidents.

The International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), a NATO-led security mission established by the UN Security Council in 2001 to secure Afghanistan, has opted to leave the announcements up to the respective nation whose soldiers are killed.

Sometimes, the incidents are simply not reported.

I wonder why?

Do yourself a favor and never call Comcast, your head will explode.

Just hit "V" again and Virginia will show up, unless the Virgin Islands is an option then you might have to waste another .004 seconds hitting "V" again.

Not realizing that my Warpath avatar was changed by the forces of Evil until just now grinds my gears.
