Grinds my gears thread

You know what grinds my gears? People who are irresponsible with magick.

Pick up any book on the subject and you will be repeatedly told THIS IS NOT SOMETHING YOU MESS WITH. Idiots who find out they have magickal ability and then think they can screw around or use it on other people willy-nilly are, well, idiots. I do not want to have to deal with someone else's mess just because they're a beginner, 'cause you know what? I'm a beginner too. That means I have a degree of responsibility and I don't do things without first making sure they're okay to do. It's not that big a sacrifice to be a little mature when handling potentially dangerous stuff.

I've been dealing with this specific crap recently, which is why it came up.

You know what grinds my gears: the pot smokers that are always causing trouble here. Beating up the children 10-14 years younger than them, smashing windows, mugging some other high schoolers here and trying to pick a fight with me. Two worst parts though is the fact that they are too stubborn to leave even though the guy who originally let them smoke there left his parents house to do more drugs and they still think that they run the place. That and the fact that the police suspect me of being the troublemakers, knocking on my door. Almost arresting me, and always asking me what is in my backpack as if I had something illegal or stolen in there while he lets the true culprits do whatever they're doing.

Be like...I don't smoke pot! I play with Pokemon for crying out loud!!!

[Gluttony]

Ah you've got bad pot smokers do you?

I know a few pot smokers here too, but they're resposible... In a certain way I guess. Not troublemakers at least. I can pick up a high from them by just being nearby too, which is always interesting.

I don't know anyone that smokes pot...though sometimes it's the people you least expect

You know what grinds my gears: When coach sets up a lacrosse bootcamp the day after Christmas.

At the moment... Snow is really doing ma head in... stupid cold stuff is stopping me doing my sport -.-

[greenskeleton]

wow...not many people smoke pot at our school but the middle schoolers are a different story. they just seem to get worse and worse as every year goes by.

[Gluttony]

Yeah, middle schoolers scare me lately.

Speaking of which, you know what grinds my gears? Seeing kids misbehave while their parents are nearby, and the parents don't do a thing about it! If I end up having a daughter (maybe, maybe not, I'm not sure yet) she's going to be a well behaved child because I'm not gonna tolerate any crap.

[greenskeleton]

haven't seen anything like that but yeah it would bug me

You know what grinds my gears? When my parents won't agree when they should take us to the others' house.
