So I recently complained about the lack of dysfunctional family movies. City Island is the answer to my kvetch. (Here: http://whatgrindsbryansgears.blogspot.com/2010/03/lack-of-any-recent-dysfunctional-family.html)
Thank you! It was a great film. Everyone should go and see it.

missing the train
You know what really grinds my gears?
Missing the train. So the other day, I was on the subway transferring from an uptown 4 express to a Queens Bound R at 59th/Lex and as usual, I sprint up the stairs because I hear a train pulling in and as I get to the top, the mid-section operator looks on the platform and closes the doors after seeing me sprinting towards the door. Then I see that the front section operator hasnt closed the doors, and I run to the next car, but get stuck behind a SLOW WALKER and miss the train. Like, couldn't you wait for literally 10 seconds? Of course not.

The attitude I get from Starbucks baristas.
You know what really grinds my gears?
The attitude I get from Starbucks baristas. Ok, so since I live in New York, I usually try to support independent coffee shops, sometimes starbucks is so convenient that I have to go and get some fake coffee drink (because their black coffee is NASTY!). When I am paying close to $5 for a cappuccino and I ask for it with non-fat milk, and you give me whole milk, I think it is reasonable to ask you to remake it. Dont tell me that I am wrong, or I should just drink it. You are not the halal stand. You are starbucks. Show some damn customer service to the pack of loyal caffeine addicts who will pay exorbitant amounts of money for your bad coffee.

College ACB
You know what really grinds my gears?
College ACB. I came to college expecting that people were done with high school. http://collegeacb.com/sb.php?school=NYU
Look at this. Apparently, people are still in High School. People need to grow the fuck up and stop using websites like this. Honestly it is slanderous and disgusting. Dont get me wrong, I am a huge supporter of social networking websites, but this is a place where people either spread lies about each other or attempt to boost their own ego. If you use this website, you are most likely a terrible human being and should feel bad. If you are looking for a hookup, go to a bar. If you need an ego boost, go to therapy. Grow the eff up. Someone really needs to shut this down. NOW.

The fact that the Jews didnt have time to let the bread rise.
You know what really grinds my gears?
The fact that the Jews didnt have time to let the bread rise. Its day 7 of pesach. I just want pizza! Couldnt the jews have lost their broccoli or something? WHY THE BREAD?! Dude, Pharoah, you are on my douche list just for not letting their bread rise. Couldnt you have waited? Like, the Jesus Fan Club gets to give up anything they want. But, NOOO. We have to give up the tastiest substance known to man. Excuse me, I am now going to indulge in my 17th dry cracker today.

Auto Flush Toilets
You know what really grinds my gears?
Auto-Flush Toilets. So, Today, I am using a public restroom and as soon as I go to get up it seems that my ass has gotten a swirlie, however, no bully was the culpit here. I suffered this injustice because of the lazy ass idiot who invented the auto flush toilet. Like really? Ok, I know some people physically cant flush a toilet, but the rest of us are just getting splashed with wasted water. So, plumbers and architects. NEVER install these. Nothing ruins your day more than the auto-flush.

People who bring smelly food on to Public transportation
You know what really grinds my gears?
People who bring smelly food on to Public transportation. Ok, so the other day, I was on metro north and this busisness man sits down across from me and pulls out some nasty beef/relish hotdog from his bag. It smelled of bad, it was offensive to multiple senses! it just smelled like a rodent infested grease trap on the whole train because this guy couldnt eat his lunch before getting on the train. Dude. No one wants to smell your nasty ass hot dog. Please, eat it else where.
