What really grinds your gears?

Hi all thought it might be good to do some venting!

Pick something that REALLY makes you cranky, and.....

What really grinds my gears is cruelty, abuse and bad treatment of children and animals! We should have to get a licence to have pets and kids!

And how does that get regulated?

Three things that grind my gears the most...

People that know something for a fact without any evidence, research, or experience what-so-ever, and that insist that I must do what they say without question.

People that know all about a given situation because they experienced something so minutely related they may as well bury their head in the sand.  For example; they claim to know all about domestic violence because they had one arguement with a family member, or they know what it's like to loose a loved one because a friend they haven't communicated with for over 20 years passed away - and then they try to say they know exactly how you feel when you are in that situation.

People that know what I am about, what sort of person I am, what I am into, etc; and what is best for me, when they have known me for all of 30 seconds.

Well done Wendigo
That gets me too.
Add to that all the people who know what they are talking about cos they saw it on a soap opera, or read it in a book!!

Another thing i Loathe is two faced. When someone agrees with you to your face then you later hear that they were tearing you to shreds behind your back

On a teeth grating issue, I can't stand the noise of drying a wooden spoon with a tea towel it makes me teeth 'stand on end!!'

Oops, title refers to this...

I agree that some people should have been desexed at puberty, but how does that get regulated without destroying human rights?

Yeh i agree.  as i worked in childcare i have seen first hand how many parents should have never had children and then there are nise and kind people like my uncle that can't have children. it really makes me think.

I soooo understand this... There is a couple whom as of Monday will no longer be bringing their children to our day care, but they have set of triplets.  They have car seats in one car, yet for some reason they are usually picked up in the second car which has no car seats.. The triplets are under the age of three.  And i saw Daddy putting on of the kids in the front seat.  No one would know he was there if I had not of seen him get in the car. I could not believe this. And they did not even live just around the corner (even though that is not an excuse). They live about 20 minutes away. And the kids had no car seat, and one was in the front. I WAS SOOOO ANGRY....

But as I said, they are no longer going to be bringing their children to the day care.

Ignorance, abusive partners verbal and physical, making people reliant on the public systems do it or you don't get.. I wonder if that's some sort of legal blackmail by government departments lol. Kids who have to be told 1trllion times something then give you the blank look.. telephone operators that you spend half the day on the phone with and still can't understand them, I could go on and on but if I write too much I must just need a psychiatrist lol.

mony has a group that allows you to vent out and let out what you feel and want to have a whinge about lol, but i agree we need a license to own a car have to be 18 to drink, why not pass a test to have kids and own pets. good thinking!!!!!!!

There is a group ASK MONY where you can vent anything you want Maybe that would be a better place for this or there is also a group where you can ask any Question you want that isn't related to parenting or the running of the minti site.

I hope this helps

P.S Mony's group is really good.
