What grinds my gears...

We’re feeling a little agitated as we write these blogs today and wanted to share with you, our readers what grinds our gears. That means we are going to write about things that make us feel a little frustrated…
 
Scary movies are not my thing. Some scares and the blood and gore isn't nice for me.
If people want to see a scary movie I would suggest a comedy instead.
I also get annoyed by having to change the settings on my iPad. It's always annoying and grinds my gears. So now when I want to go on silent I have to go deep in the settings instead of flicking the switch.
Bullies at school grind my gears because it isn't fair. Swearing isn't nice and bullies would swear at school.
I will encourage people to do what they dream for, for me, that's a podcast or a YouTube channel. This makes me very happy. Thank you for reading my first blog, Thomas.
 
 
Today’s blog is about what grinds our gears.
There are a few things that grind my gears but the first that comes to mind is when my friends pull pranks on me. My friend often turns my scooter off while I'm riding it and he also pushes me over when I'm on the edge of a ditch. When I'm working on my mower and I can’t get it undone I find that super frustrating and sometimes I’ll even hit it, but that doesn't seem to help very much. When I'm at work or do some stuff at home and can’t find the right tools that I need. Well that really grinds my gears. Especially when I cant find the tools to work on the gears of the lawnmower. Overall I'm a pretty chill guy so this blog is short and sweet today.

My brothers annoy me. I am the youngest in the family.
Michael and I were doing the dishes together after Christmas lunch and he was too slow. I told him to hurry up.
My other brother Robert was snoring when I got home from the tennis and it kept me awake. Most of the time I think they are pretty good.
To be honest, not much annoys me. I am a very happy person.

Here is my list of things that grind my gears.
When companies discontinued my favourite products. 
When things are on the top shelves.
People who don’t know the road rules and don’t use indicators.
People who are cruel to animals.
Criminals and people who make the world unsafe.
Puzzles missing a piece. 
How the world is not suited to people with disabilities, while people with disabilities have to adapt to the world.
People who use illegal substances.
People who commit crime and break the law and blame it on mental illness to get a lower charged or no jail time. 
I could go on and on, but I try not to let things get to me too much because that wrecks my own peace of mind. 
Thank you for reading, Haley. 
 
 
What grinds your gears blog…
I feel like I have a lot of things that grind my gears. Some are tied to being neurodiverse and others are just part of the human experience apparently. 
As a person with an invisible disability I sometimes feel the outside world expects me to be able to do life without any extra help or guidance. It’s as if my disability is invisible and doesn’t really exist so is therefore less deserving of any assistance. We shouldn’t have to fight tooth and nail for support whilst proving our disability is real. Invisible disabilities are invisible but that doesn’t mean that just because you can’t see them that I or anyone else with an invisible disability are any less deserving of guidance and/or help. It just means that we may need to ask for help or guidance when we need it and that should be ok and something that we shouldn’t have to justify. 
I also don’t like when people are mean or unkind. Its not at all needed or called for to be unkind and it doesn’t add value to anyone’s day. It really isn’t hard to be a kind and good human being. I really feel that if you can’t say anything nice don’t say anything at all. You don’t know what people are going through in life and words do have power, so being kind is important. If you don’t believe you can be kind then be silent, because this world has enough unkindness so if you feel so inclined switch it up and spread some kindness instead. 
Thank you so very much for reading the shortened version of what grinds my gears. I have a very long list of things but it’s important to leave room for my beautiful friends and fellow bloggers. 
Your friend always, 
Shan.
 
One thing that really annoys me is when people sing "Happy Birthday" to me on my birthday or surprise me with a cake. Even though it’s meant to be nice, it can be annoying. I used to be fine with it when I was little. One time in primary school, I even gave goodie bags to all my classmates. That’s partly why I don’t tell my Umbrella Support people my birthday. I also don’t like birthday shout outs when people post photos of me on social media and everyone comments, “Happy Birthday, Jacinda!” I prefer quiet celebrations. My family understands this and usually sends me digital cards. I like these because they’re private and noise free.
Another thing that annoys me is when people insist I do things I don’t like. For example, at a party, someone might say, “Dance, Jacinda! Don’t just sit there!” This makes me angry because dancing isn’t my favourite. At parties, I prefer to be a wallflower sitting quietly and enjoying the music. I also don’t like it when people say, “You’re too old to watch cartoons!” Cartoons make me happy they’re my therapy and something I’ve loved since I was a kid.
Hot summer days also annoy me. I prefer cooler days. But even on a hot day, I can enjoy ice cream as it lifts my mood. I also like to sleep with a fan. Flies and mosquitoes annoy me too, especially when doors are left open and they come inside. Their buzzing can be distracting. I do understand it’s good to go outside for vitamin D, though. Another thing that bothers me is doors banging, especially my kitchen door. If it’s not closed properly, the wind can make it slam loudly. It’s especially startling when I’m doing quiet activities like colouring.
Do any of these things annoy you too?
Thank you for reading!

Hello dear, well when you all volunteer for work and you all don’t get paid but you all help people from work hard to be job of course so if you help people over job and listen to people anyway.  My legs pain me and annoying me and sometimes I can’t walk very much sometimes I can walk little longer.  Sometimes my legs stop working and don’t move very well.   
From your dear friend, TJ. 
 
This is what grinds my gears, it’s annoying that people are so rude in the shopping centre and telling me “could you move to a different place to talk” or something like that. People pushing in with their shopping or trying to get your car spot. Some people don’t have any respect for other people at all. They are some nice. It’s important to be nice.
Ash.
 
Dear readers,
How are you? Today's topic is what "annoys you" and why.
Let me start by telling you what annoys me is my brother and sister. They take things that don't belong to them, they eat my food without asking, they take things that are not theirs. They also play loud music when I am trying to sleep or when I am on the phone to my friends, and when I am listening to my music. 
They move me without asking me, which is very annoying.  They swear and I don't like swearing.  They don't even listen to me or my mum.  I am the eldest so they should listen to me.  They also fight which is not nice to listen to.  I don't like fighting... I prefer peace and quiet. Thank you for reading my blog this is bubbly Beth signing off until next week. 
 
 
What grinds my gears?
I don't like the iPhone. When they do updates and when I’m trying to get to sleep, and my computer when it's broken.

Dear Readers, this week’s topic is what grinds my gears.
Let me start by telling you about what annoys me. Readers if you could list what annoys you I wouldn’t write only a paragraph and I wouldn’t be able to stop. I would write a big list.  In saying that let me get started on writing that big list. What annoys me is stupid drivers on the road that don’t know how to drive and if you ask me they should not have a license.  My older sister annoys me sometimes but I still love her. Silly people in shopping centres who do last minute shopping  at Christmas time, people at the bank who are working there and sometimes look like they don’t want to be bothered to work or don’t want to be there. When people come into my personal space and don’t even ask me if it’s ok to be in my personal space.  Also when people do bad things like crime and they blame mental health issues and they use mental health as a jail free card all the time. Centrelink also annoys me, especially when I have to do my report for work and I haven’t even worked or got paid yet and put zero hours and zero pay and I feel like the government and Centrelink wants to know everything.
