A grinds your gears thread, for things/people/places/ideas/etc that bug you, push your buttons, annoy the crap out of you.

People who are really cool but seem unable to meet any commitments they make. "Movie tomorrow night? Sure, I'd love to!" and never show. And yet you keep falling for it every time.

People who think chorizo is better than bacon.

The idea that someone is better than someone else based on exactly 1 fact about them. Their dress, their grades, their appearances. It's incredibly stupid and egotistic to think you're better than someone else based on all black er'thang or because you lift weights or are skinny rather than fat or because you aced that test and your friend didn't.

even worse than getting earbuds caught on handles is getting them stuck in someone's coat while you're trying to get off the subway.

- Slow walkers on city sidewalks. Worse than slow walkers are slow walkers who don't walk in a straight line so as you try to pass they end up right in front of you.
