It was much worse back in the day when pizza joints would use real cheese ... the kind where you could loop a ten-foot long string of cheese around your fork before it would break off. Not only would you burn your mouth, the moltan cheese would stretch down your chin and neck when you threw it back on your plate while desperately reaching for your can of pop.
The burning pizza issue is why to this day I eat my pizza with a knife and fork ... even though 95% of pizza cheese is now fake.

I remember a couple times as a kid damn near choking on the super gooey cheese. Just kept stuffing it in, hoping it would break off.
But yeah, you can't find real mottz unless you go to a quality joint.
Most places use that super dried out, overly salty "mottz". Bleh!
When making homemade I usually make my own mottz. Otherwise I buy the real stuff floating in brine from the Italian grocer. Only way to go.

Oil... made to look like cheese... kinda grinds my gears.
I never buy pizza from pizza chains. We have two authentic Italian pizzerias in town that I frequent. More expensive, but man is it worth it. You can smell the dough when you walk into both of them. The one features the mom as the hostess, daughter as the waitress, dad and uncle as the cooks. When the drinks come to the table, no two glasses are alike. It's awesome.
it really grinds my gears when my boss calls in sick. he is a physician. we have all of these people who were scheduled to return today to review mris and x rays and ct scans. i have to call all of them and try to explain in layman's terms what the results are and the potential plan of care. its a mega pain in the ass. it is so much easier to be able to show them the images and explain from there. :fp:

i sometimes eat mine with knife and fork too. at least the first slice or two until it cools off. seems so weird to do that though. like eating the snickers bar with a knife and fork.

I got a lot, but today's number one pick is: people who are too lazy to return the shopping carts to the store or the shopping cart corral, and just leave the cart right in an empty parking space. :x
People that drive 10 MPH under the speed limit in no passing zones and then speed up when there is a chance to pass only to slow back down again in the next no passing zone.
people who use 100 different coupons at the grocery store and then have the nerve to write a fucking check :fp:
Also, assholes who will drive in two lanes (one regular lane and one merge lane) to prevent anyone from merging from the right or passing on the left.
Is this the airing of the grievances part of Festivus?
kind of, i actually almost named this thread "the airing of grievances", but i thought that could get a little heavy. "grinds my gears" is a lighter hearted version of airing of grievances i guess.

Nice!
In the spirit up Festivus, to add to he.who.forgets' post: Drivers who do not know how to merge. It's not that difficult, people. Also, "yield" means to yield to oncoming traffic; not, speed up so you can cut them off and almost cause an accident. Jackass.

I think the 'yielding' aspect to driving is one that many simply cannot understand.
I think they think that sign means, "Oh. Oh you mean those other people are going to yield for me so I can enter the highway!"
I drive past an entranceway that gives me grief daily on my way to work. Soon... very soon... I may just loooose it.
what grinds my gears is not trying for the next up or down gear in enough time and losing too much speed to get it in. Oh yeah, what also grinds my gears is trying to go into the high side at low side speeds!!

Very bad ice storm! No power or heat! This really blows! Downed power lines and trees......fun shit!
This sounds pretty fun for sure.
Throw in a shitty ice scraper and you are fooked.
Still no fucking power. Staying with various friends and family. Now starting to worry about pipes freezing. Left some faucets open a little. This is far from over. :fp:

It's as if some people have never learned to eat.
Some people smack their lips too. They can be looking right at you, smacking away, and have no idea that they sound like a freaking baboon.

There!
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
The government for luring poor people with false hopes into using their last pennies and nickels to play the dumbest form of gambling known to man.

It grinds my gears, that's for sure! :x
How about inhaling soda pop down your windpipe? Oh, now that really grinds my gears!
