Pet Peeves!

[DeadSock]

4. Occasionaly I am guilty of this. It actually leads into something else that pisses me off. People who wait until the last minute, cut into the right lane and turn in front of you, sometimes without signaling. If I know I have a right turn coming up, with heavy traffic, I stay in the right lane to avoid that.

That ALWAYS happens to me when I'm towing (usually with a very heavy load no doubt).

When towing I'm generally in the right lane doing the speed limit or 2-3 below in heavy traffic so I can safely stop. But here comes douche bag that MUST cut right in front and then slam on brakes. Sometimes I just wanna roll right on top of their civic.

One of my many Pet Peeves is filling my portable air tank. Who was the genius that decided a schrader valve was the way to fly to fill these things???

Use one of these plug it in and come back letter.

I have so many pet peeves, here goes:

1) people who tail gate not at football games but on the highway
2) people who text and otherwise mess with their smart phones all the time
3) people who don't know how to cook, duh how do I make spaghetti?
4) people who look down on a manual transmission
5) people who don't care what kind of beer they drink
6) people who put no money down on stuff then act like their the victims when the bill comes
7) people who don't clean up after their dogs
8) people who don't like old cars or old motorcycles
9) people that throw stuff out that could be fixed
10) people who don't recycle 'cause their too lazy
11) I don't know why but facebook bugs me
12) Politicians of all parties bug me, lyin' bastids
13) The fed bugs me, yeah we're gonna buy 600 billion in treasuries but we're really not gonna pay anything, we're just gonna print the money, what is that?
14) Royalty, Prince Charles, what a douche
15) People who make a lot of money but are very cheap bug me

16) The Yankees, $25 mil a year for a-rod, come on! And Posada can't throw
17) The Mets bug me, 2nd highest payroll in baseball and dead last place

OK, that's it

I think those last two are great!
But then, I'm a Red Sox fan.

In addition to these, cashiers who:

- "Inspect" and comment on every item you're purchasing.

- Drop the change into your hand and quickly withdraw theirs, as if you have some highly contagious disease.

- When making change, place the coins in a pile onto the bills, then hand it to you as a single "package", thereby forcing you to treat your change as if it were a ticking bomb, about to explode nickels and dimes all over the place.

Yea, you must shop where I shop!

Starbucks and their bitter $5 coffee. Just like this guy:

Still with cashiers ... you hand them your credit card and after they've rung you up, rather than handing it back to you, they snap it down on the counter top expecting you to pick it up. I usually let it slide but a few times I've left it there and when I'm about to leave the cashier has said something like ... "don't forget your card". I then responded ... "Oh sorry, I was waiting for you to hand it back to me nicely like I gave it to you".

 

[Lkdelta]

counter parts help, I have order parts on the phone standing at the counter before. "hey dude, that part I ordered, hand it to the guy in front of you on the cell phone"

This might work.....got to try it,to fix the usual way I get assistance

Dum-azz counter help at the parts store too....boooooooooo
One place, she's cute as can be and sharp as a pin, he's the ding-bat

 

[mikeceli]

I agree! Store clerks for example. Around here when you pay a cashier for your purchase and say "thank you" a common response from them is "no problem". NO PROBLEM? Why would there be a PROBLEM? They have something to sell ... you just bought it and they say "NO PROBLEM". I'm really glad they didn't have to go out of their way to sell me something. A lot of times, before they get a chance to say anything I just say "you're welcome" when I buy something. It confuses the hell out of most cashiers.

WINNER!

"Your Welcome" is a positive sign of apprication. "No Problem" is an indicator of declining mannors and fluency in our society.

ALSO, I resist thanking someone for taking my money. I am the CUSTOMER, generally, the seller should thank the buyer.

 

[therealwormey]

people that *****, gripe, piss and moan about spelling and grammar on an internet message board.

preach on, preach on

 

[Flange]

Here are a couple of my pet hates.

1. People behind you at the cashier in the supermarket/store who don't leave you personal space. Yes i want to be out of here quickly too but almost climbing on top of me before I have even paid wont make a difference. Actually I lied, it will make a difference, I will go super slow just to piss you off you **** head!

2. Cars/Car manufacturers that assume that you want annoying features. Or is it just me? For example, years ago the cars had screen wash and the wipers could be operated independently. Nowadays most cars (that I drive) wipe the windows as soon as you press wash. Is it only me that this annoys? Another one is my wife bought a 2009 BMW and the sat nav wont let me enter an entire Post Code (Zip Code in the USA). You get the first bit in then it asks for a street name and wont take no for an answer. What if I dont know the street name? All other sat navs let you enter the full code with no problems. I have loads of other car related ones.

The reason I say "thank You" to cashiers, is that they probably at best get a lot of **** from snotty customers every day, and I have noticed how most light up a little when they feel appreciated.

Do you think because you are a paying customer you shouldn't have to say thank you? I can't stand that attitude of "the customer is always right". Guess what? You aren't.

 

[SnowBlaZeR2]

Good point. I can't imagine some one dealing with rude people all day instantly being in a good mood for every customer. I tend to open my mouth when I see some one being rude with a cashier, server, etc. Pisses me off.

 

[Weedwaka]

Overprotective parents that yell and stare and shelter their ugly *** children when you drive 25 kph past their house with a loud exhaust. Idiots !!

4 way stops. Give one street the right of way.

People that think you are an ax murderer if you talk on your cell phone while driving now that it is suddenly illegal. If its legal for someone to eat a big mac while changing a cd and yelling at their ugly *** brat children in the back seat, I can talk on my damn phone.

Morons that believe any BS propaganda being force fed to them from the news / radio like little lemmings with no brains. Then they preach / repeat.

People that preach religion.

Baby on board signs.

I have too many. Now Im pissed off lol

 

[eldirector]

Back on topic.....

Those clip-on garage door safety sensors. They never stay pointed at each other and the beam can be blocked by a frickin spider web. In my old garage, I just pulled one side off, ran it down to the other side, and then duct-taped the two sensors to each other. In the current garage, I mounted them a tad higher to stay out of the dirt/leaves/cobwebs, and bolted the little buggers to the rail so they can't move.

I swear the only reason these sensors exist is so folks can be lazy. Just stand and watch the door close to be sure it doesn't hit anything. If you are walking under the door when it is closing, get out of the way!

Overprotective parents that yell and stare and shelter their ugly *** children when you drive 25 kph past their house with a loud exhaust. Idiots !!

So what if the parents of really cute, outgoing and not over protected kids yell at you because of your loud fart can exhaust? That's ok?

4 way stops. Give one street the right of way.

The rules are pretty simple...the person that gets there first has the right of way....if you get there at the same time...the person to the 'right' has the right of way. Been that way for about 75 years....it worked then, it works now.....

People that think you are an ax murderer if you talk on your cell phone while driving now that it is suddenly illegal. If its legal for someone to eat a big mac while changing a cd and yelling at their ugly *** brat children in the back seat, I can talk on my damn phone.

Please reference the following thread....I suspect you are the classic example being refered to in most posts....

[KCarGuy]

The fact that everyone is crying about us running low on Oil, the gas companies ****** us with gas prices, because of the cost per barrel...
...and yet, all across this country, 60 cars need to come to a complete stop to let a handfull of cars out of a Mall or sidestreet!

Screw those old tech magnetic loops...Time the lights already!!!
it would be easy with todays technology.
We waist more fuel stopping all the main traffic for a few cars!

 

[Groovy]

Mini vans, hybrids, and trailers being towed in the fast lane drive me nuts.

If I’m driving 10, 20, 30 over and someone comes up behind me, I move over. I do not judge if they end up on their lid. I don’t go down the instant Karma route, I swerve around and accelerate so I’m not stuck in the jam that will soon follow.

If you’re not running around 300+ HP and have the technology to accommodate high speed safely stay out of the left lane.

A cop gave me a ticket for doing 89 in a 55 at about 3 am on an empty road and told me that, “my family could get hurt” **** and I said, “what is your family doing out at 3 AM on an empty highway? If they had a reason to be out it would just thin the herd if they died “(I mean I was up to no good at that hour)…those tazer’s hurt

 

[Steevo]

1. People who text.
For any reason. Anywhere and any time.
Jut dial the number and say what you need to say.
If it would too be lame to say it on the phone, it is lame anyway, so don't text it.

2. People who write in e-mail or other written forms, using their stupid-*** texting abbreviations. U and R are not words. Neither are b4 or n2 or w8.

 

[bgarrett]

Parts counter people who stop dead in the middle of helping me (when I'm standing right in front of them, at the counter) and answer the friggin' PHONE and begin looking up parts for the caller.

The last time this happened, I happened to be in a less tolerant mood than usual and when the butthead was finished, I politely asked him what the phone number was, he told me, I dialed it and the phone next to him started ringing.

I said "You gonna get that? Might be important..."

He wasn't sure what to do, basically he vapor-locked.

I think he got the message.

I asked the parts man about this.
He said hes selling $400,000 per year over the phone while I am nickle and dime

 

[Okie Pete]

Healthy people parking in Handicap parking . Wife and i ate out today .We were seated at a window next to the parking space. 5 spaces were Handicapped.3 people drove up put up their handicap sign and walked in i didn't see any problems . One guy didn't even bother to use a sign . Restaurants need cameras and add a surcharge for miss use of parking .

Worse, the cashier hands you coins, bills, receipt and your purchase.
All of those go different places and each has to be dealt with before you can handle another

It doesn't work that way here in the barrio...since the demographic change around here I now know the definition of a "Mexican stand-off"!

They're just practicing, after a while they'll miss by millimetres

I was with you all the way until you slagged off Charlie. There's a cold damp cell waiting for you in the Tower!

 

[bazzateer]

If I’m driving 10, 20, 30 over and someone comes up behind me, I move over.

If you're in an overtaking lane you should be overtaking something. If you're able to move over straight away then you shouldn't be in the overtaking lane in the first place.

 

[bgott]

Cars/Car manufacturers that assume that you want annoying features. Or is it just me? For example, years ago the cars had screen wash and the wipers could be operated independently.

So, which one do you want them to reintroduce, the rubber pump bulb on the floor or the hose hooked to the spare tire?

 

[BlindViper]

People who drive in the fast lane & refuse to move over when a faster vehicle approaches them from behind!

You asked ???
Steve

If I am in the fast lane going over the speed limit and there are cars in the right lanes going slower then I am then you'll be pissed following me. I don't move out of the way if I'll have to hit the brakes.

Big and tall men's clothing stores that don't have clothes that fit anyone over 6'3".

I think he got the message.

When I did truck parts I was told by the owner to pick up phones at all costs. While you are standing there, I could sell an engine and It's likely that you won't leave (even if you are pissed). If you do give me a hard time about it remember I control the pricing and can adjust it up or down depending upon your attitude.

People that ride my *** in any lane when I'm doing 10 over.

Only thing worse than that is... people on cell phones that ride my *** when I'm doing 10 mph over the posted.

This is a joke, right?

 

[Flange]

So, which one do you want them to reintroduce, the rubber pump bulb on the floor or the hose hooked to the spare tire?

Neither.

If, like me, you drive cheap cars and you don't have a warning light that tells you when the wash fluid is low then a scenario that can happen is:

You are on the motorway/freeway in winter and you go to use the washers but instead, no fluid comes out but (because the wash and wipe functions are linked) the wipers then proceed to smear the windscreen with road ****. Inevitably this happens on a sunny morning with a low sun at 70mph and you go from 70% visibility to almost nil visibility within about a second.

Like I said it might be just me and no one else has ever had this problem?

 

[bazzateer]

Like I said it might be just me and no one else has ever had this problem?

It's not just you, I agree completely.

Man that happens every time doesn't it.

 

[HemiRambler]

Ok Here's another one: Long ago I swore off going to a particular parts store since they f'd up some axles and blamed me when it was clearly their fault. Fast forward about 10 years and there I find myself in THAT store (after trying EVERYWHERE ELSE first) and low and behold they actually have the parts I needed. To set the stage I walk in go past 2 counter guys and the owner (the guy who bent me over) is fiddling with a display. I walk to the back of the store and my parts are there hanging on the wall. By the time I get back to the counter (30-40 seconds) neither counter guy is there, but the owner is there still fiddling with his display. I patiently wait for about 5 minutes all the time gritting my teeth - the owner knowing full well I was there. Running thru my mind is "why are you here - you swore off these a-holes years ago" so after waiting a short eternity I walk back to teh store and hang up those parts. AS I make it past the counter and just get to the exit - the owner asks - "can I help you" I say - well no right now you cannot -however 10 minutes ago you could have" I leave. The moral of the story - be true to yourself - once a jack wagon....

 

[Ironcrow]

I cannot stand this. I refuse to let anyone in when they try using that as a merging lane. It pisses me off even more when I actually need to use that lane and some *** is sitting there trying to merge into traffic.

I use that lane for merging all the time. I wouldn't bother you though because I am never "sitting there". I'll be going 11 over and merge in front of you.
