Hey.  Y'know what really grinds my gears?  When you purchase a new sweet-ass graphics card and a nice SSD and some sweet-ass RAM for your gaming computer, and then you install everything, and turn the 'puter on, but it doesn't boot.  The tower turns on, but the monitor stays black and just doesn't boot anything.  So you double check all connections and re-seat everything, but it doesn't help.  You already know everything should be compatible for your motherboard, so then you double check your system's documentation, and you realize that amount of ram you have installed is likely an incompatible configuration because it's not in a power of 2, and the manual says that the only compatible configurations are 8, 16, 32, and 64GB.  So you buy more ram to just go ahead and take it all the way to an obscene 64GB, but it still doesn't boot.  Then you learn that it might be BIOS problem, and you read that clearing the CMOS might help.  So you do that, but still nothing.  At that point you start worrying that you've destroyed your computer forever, and you know that your computer is your life and your best friend because you're a socially anxious, clinically depressed, autistic mess who lives in games and online and barely sees the light of day.  You know that your computer is, for all intents and purposes, your significant other.  Having your computer ripped apart and on the operating table like this is just like watching your wife have open-brain surgery and wondering if that last time you spoke to her is actually the last time you'll ever speak to her.  You can't afford a new computer right now, and you can't live without one.  You then start crying and take one of your anti-anxiety pills and starts thinking about suicide.  Then you turn on your crappy ol' lappy and start screwing around on the MLP forums for awhile, trying to pretend the problem doesn't exist, because you just can't face it, but you know you have to face it, and you don't know what to do about it, and you're afraid that your life is over.  And then you write a Grind My Gears post about it.

This got a little personal.    I have a big, big, big problem.
