What Grinds My Gears
* I will have that lube after all, Trent!!!!!*Please note: you need to remove lube from tube before lubing your gear.
Now ya tell me!!!!! 
Whoops, sorry dude 
I love you man!!!!!! 
These 2 F-wits
Joe Hilderbrand looks like he would be sticky to touch!!
Words cannot describe how much I despise those two! Listening to them makes me so angry. They have ruined triple m for me!
Something else that really grinds my gears, people who get really angry/frustrated about things they can do nothing about. What’s done is done and no amount of whinging and moaning about it is going to change it.
Ambiguous Post!!!!!
Travelers who think they can mooch off you for a long period of time and invite people to your house with out them even paying rent 
bye bye
Dragging up this thread for a good old rant!
I’m getting married in 2 months and it really grinds my gears that everyone not only assumes I am going to change my name when I get married, but gives me the third degree when I say I’m not. Majority of people assume that I either don’t like my partners surname, I don’t think the marriage will last or I am some fanatical feminist who is trying to prove a point and being unfair to my partner in the process. My future sister-in-law has even gone to the extent of telling me I “have to” change my name. It quite simple really, I don’t want to change my name for the same reason my partner doesn’t want to change his name. I like my name, it’s how people identify me and after 28 years I have grown accustomed to it and rather fond of it. My partner understands and he is absolutely fine with it so why does everyone else find it so offensive and outrageous!?
/end rant
I am sorry everyone is giving you a hard time!
FWIW - I like the idea of become a team unit and having the same name. But each to his own!

Do what YOU want. End of story.
Somewhat similarly - My husband and I barely ever wear our wedding rings. Some people think we’re not committed, having issues, etc. Really we just don’t like jewelry much and worry about losing it. We don’t need to define our relationship on a ring.
PS: its a bucket load of effort changing your name anyway.
Exactly! I don’t feel like I need to have the same name as him (or our future children for that matter) to legitimise our relationship. Just gets a bit old when everyone else feels like they have a say in it! Still haven’t told the mother-in-law, but she doesn’t have the same surname as my partner anyway so I don’t think she’ll be too phased.

Yeh ideally we would like to have the same name, but I don’t want to change mine and he doesn’t want to change his 
so different names it is!
The only issue I’ve ever heard is having issues with kids having different names. Sometimes the administration issues of the kid(s) with schools or other clubs and parent’s trying to sign forms or pick them up etc.
Personally my last name is Brown and I’d have no problems swapping to someone else’s name if it was decent and they felt strongly about it. But at the same time, I agree with you that I’ve been a Brown my whole life and it would be weird to change lol.
if it was decent ...
LOL
What if it was weird and they still felt strongly about it!
in my experience the weirder the name the more strongly people feel about it!

I like what TambAzz did!
Agree totally - do what’s right for you and stuff everyone else!!!
I was married at 20, changing my name was no biggie as I wasn’t really established in the world of adults at that stage. Also his was shorter and less embarrassing than the double barrelled hyphenated name I inherited from my Dad, after my grandmother thought she’d be all clever and hyphenate between her new hubby’s middle and surname…
I was glad to be rid if it.
I’ve been my married name for more years than my maiden name now, so if I ever married again (still married to this one, so it’s unlikely) I’d keep this name!
As for wedding rings. Hubby and I don’t wear them either.
Every time he suggest buying a fancy new set (fingers are too fat for my originals, which are pretty basic) I take the money and book another ski trip

Yeah, I already have Tristan as a first name, I probably don’t want a weird last name to go with it hahaha.

One of my ex’s surnames was Power. That would have been tempting to change to! But then we’d have to name our son Max..
You’d think with that many split/blended families these days schools etc. should be used to parents sometimes having different names to their children! My partners only issue with the whole name thing was that he wanted our kids to have the same surname as him, which I don’t have a problem with. That said who knows, when I have children I may feel differently and decide I want the same name as the rest of the family!
