"You know what really grinds my gears? Nobody's come up with a new priest and a rabbi joke in like thirty years. Ya know? I mean, okay, ah, umm. Priest and a rabbi go, go onto the supermarket, and, uh, the priest wants to buy a ham. And the rabbi says, "Ah, I can't eat it. It's forbidden." Couldn't eat it. Not allowed, pigs are like superheroes to them. Is it perfect? No, but I, I don't see you coming up with anything. And that people is what grinds my gears." - Peter Griffin

What really grinds my gears... You don't have to do anything, you CHOOSE to do those things...

You know what really grinds my gears? When people bitch, moan and complain about things that they supposedly "have to do".
Look, I get it. Sometimes there's things in life that you feel you have to do without provocation. But when you complain and gripe about those things the whole time you do them, it just makes the experience that much worse for yourself and for others around you. I'll give a simple example of this.. When someone complains that they have to go to work or go to school or even when they complain that they have to pay for bills or expensive items that they want. Here's the thing... you don't have to do anything!!! (I know this sounds counterproductive but stay with me) I mean really it's not like someone' s pointing a gun to your head and saying, "If you don't go or pay I'll kill you.", you don't have to do any thing... you choose to do those things!!! Allow me to reiterate that... "YOU DONT HAVE TO DO ANYTHING! YOU CHOOSE TO DO THOSE THINGS!" There is a big difference between having to do something and choosing to do something.  You don't have to go to  school. You choose to go to school because you know that it will lead to bigger and better things in the future. You don't have to go to work, but you know that working and getting paid is a means to an end. My only point is that, if you choose to do something it might go by a little easier if ya just did it. With no second thoughts...

...and that my friends is What's Grinding My Gears!!!
