Re: Things that really grind your gears.
I have 2.
Extension cords or anything with long hoses / cords. They get tangled / pull the plug out of the socket, get wrapped around fruniture / are a pain in the arse to untanlge and it f****g riles me beyond belief.
People who leave their shopping carts in parking spaces in the car park. Put them back you lazy shitheads
oh another one
Black garbage bags when you are trying to hold them and put something in and the opening has flapped shut and your stuff goes on the floor.
All of the above literally send me into a rage.

The faux flirting and mateyness between gorgeous young waitresses and middle aged men at certain restaurants. Not sure which gender is the more culpable in this odd ritual.

Re: Things that really grind your gears.
You should try that, and watch the look you get.
The "hi hw r u, fine tx hw r u, good tx" dance is so ingrained in Canadian society, it's all automatic now for them.
It was the first thing I noticed when coming to Europe, you ask someone
'how are you', and they actually try to tell you what's going on.
That's not how the dance works !

The existence of the LCBO.
The LCBO having phased out plastic bags; if you buy a couple of dozen cans of beer, they put the beer in paper bags which, of course, tear, dumping the beer on the ground.
The LCBO charging a deposit on bottles and cans but not taking the bottles and cans back.

Dirty supermarket baskets. They all seem to have filthy ones here. It's disgusting and they don't seem to care.
