When I first read "grind your gears", I translated to "make you angry". I almost never get angry, and usually when I do it is because someone close to me (hubby mostly) has said or done something to hurt my feelings. And that usually only happens if I'm ill or very tired for some reason.
I pretended to be angry with him last week because the report following his annual physical indicated that he needs to make some adjustments in his diet. He frequently "complains" that he is overweight because of my cooking. Last week he complained that I didn't make enough, and that I had deprived him a couple of times before (like telling him that eating a dozen cookies at one sitting was too much - lol). I pretended to be angry and told him he couldn't have it both ways.
I guess one thing that can really get me geared up is when I make plans to accomplish more than I can manage, and then only if I have allowed someone to depend upon me getting those things done.
Otherwise . . . I'm pretty chill.
