LOL that squirrel video is hilarious! Seen that a long time ago. I usually just grab my .22 and take makes short work of those little buggers.

What grinds my gears? Well they'll grind if I and try and shift my truck without using the clutch.

Seriously though, when someone is in front of you doing 45mph in a 55mph zone and then the speed limit changes to 30mph and they continue doing 45.

Standard bolts on newer vehicles, this drives me absolutely nuts for some reason.

A GM vehicle (newer) that uses something other than sizes 8, 10, 13, and 15.

Yes I hate that too. Or when doing brakes, the pin bolts are 14 and the brackets are 13. Actually on a Cadillac, think it'* a CTS, one bracket bolt is 18 and the other is 15, like WHY?!

That'* odd.

On every Honda that has came in the pin bolts are always 14 and the brackets are always 19. You could bet money on it.

Just thought of another one! Tangled cords, this drives me absolutely up the wall. Especially when I grab the Tech2 at work and it'* nothing but a birds nest. It takes 2 seconds to untangle it and I'm the only one that will take that 2 seconds out of my life to do so.
