What are your pet peeves? (Non audio related)

[zingo]

One of my pet peeves is when people are driving in the rain, then don't turn their windshield wipers off when the rain stops!

How about you?

[jakelm]

People who dont USE their blinkers!!

[janmike]

People with no manners. A simple please, thank you and you're welcome is all.

Last, but not least, procrastinators.

[george daniel]

clerks/salespeople who talk on their cellphones while making the customer wait,,,that is so effing rude,,pisses me off.

[BaggedLancer]

Women, who think they are men, that play trumpets.

Complaining women who can't bake a damn pie without the filling oozing all over the plate.

[swegyptian]

If you open it, close it. It's not that hard.

[hearingimpared]

1. The creep camped out in the passing lane going neck and neck with the car next to him.

2. People who sneeze into their hands and don't wash up immediately after. I actually sneeze into the crux of my elbow so as not to contaminate my hands.

Political Correctness and the people associated with it.

[danger boy]

People with no manners. A simple please, thank you and you're welcome is all.

Last, but not least, procrastinators.

screw you!

:p



JK! you're welcome though.







I totally agree.. manners used to be the order of the day when interacting with other people. be it friends, family, co workers or your mail man. a friendly thank you or please or you're welcome was almost expected from you or otherwise you were considered rude.

now, it's unfortunate but those are not as common anymore. Every once in a while..i say excuse me when trying to get around someone.. and sometimes I'm scoffed at for being nice.. as this really fat lady was taking up nearly the whole isle at the Piggy Wiggly. :p

People who smack their gum like it's going out of style... just drives me BONKERS!!! I literally want to pull their hair out!

You did ask for pet peeves right? :D

[Sherardp]

dishes left in the sink overnight, dirty carpet, smudges on my coffee tables. Being in the Marines, they teach you the definition of clean, needless to say Im a complete neat freak.

[beardog03]

People who don`t use blinkers....with most of the new cars it must be an option that many don`t get

Those who don`t use common courtesy

Those drivers that try to squeeze me off when I`m on my bike (motorcycle)

Rude people in general

[MrNightly]

With everybody speaking of driving irritations, here's a funny paper! :D

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inconsiderate Drivers
…and how to avoid being one!

Inconsiderate drivers are everywhere. They are all around us. In fact, studies show that most of us have been inconsiderate while driving at one time or another. I’ve constructed these handy points to assist with the growing epidemic. For most of us, we use our vehicles to simply transverse from one destination to the other… and unless you are blowing off steam from a knock-down-drag-out fight with your significant other, or visiting the relatives in a distant easily forgotten state, we should strive to make our commute as short and safe as possible. Follow these ten simple suggestions and you can rest your head soundly on your pillow at night, knowing you’ve done your part to make our roads a safer place:

1) You don’t need to text message, check your e-mail, send a picture message, surf the internet and untangle your hair all while trying to change lanes on the freeway. Honestly, it can wait until you are stopped in traffic. Besides, recent studies have shown that attempting to multitask on a cell phone is a major cause of accidents.

2) If your car can’t accelerate past 40 mph on the expressway, then you really should consider taking back-roads. The change of scenery will do you good, and might actually improve your personal relationships due to the large amount of time you’ll have to contemplate your inner soul and the true meaning of life.

3) Drive your age: I believe people should be allowed to actually drive their age: Are you sixty years old? Drive 60. Eighty? Go eighty. 90? 100? Think about it… it would literally rid the world of uncountable traffic congestions. After all, we all believe in our hearts that it’s the elderly that obstruct our highways. Admit it. It’ll do you good!

4) If you come upon an accident and notice there are rescue crews on scene, take a picture with your handy camera phone you are texting on- it will last longer. If you really must stop and gawk for an eternity at the fire fighters putting out an inferno started by a vehicle that couldn’t accelerate past 40 without blowing up (See #2), please pull over to the side of the street once you pass the accident to cherish the view. Some of us have a schedule to keep and can’t afford the luxury of spending hours watching the fireworks.

5) There is a brilliant new invention these days on vehicles, designed solely to assist with accident control: a blinker. You might have heard of it before, and contrary to public opinion, they weren’t installed solely for looks. In fact, you might avoid a few “friendly” one fingered waves by practicing using your blinker more often. Why do you have to keep people guessing until the very last second before turning onto your street?

6) Share the road: With other motorized vehicles. If you must pedal along a busy street during rush hour, please use the 12 foot wide sidewalks designed specifically for you. Although you may not feel as whole as when taking up an entire lane of traffic with your skinny tires, you will help society lower overall blood pressure by not forcing them to swerve to avoid clipping your arm with their side view mirrors as they pass.

7) Quite frankly, slow drivers are a hazard to the road! They really shouldn’t be allowed to drive. A new standardized pressure test should be given at your license renewal, and if your foot fails to apply the proper amount of weight to the gas pedal, your license is revoked! If you are a slow driver, do us all a favor and ride the bus. Think of it this way: you’ll be contributing your part to preserve the environment!

8) Slamming on your brakes because you notice a cop behind you won’t help you avoid a ticket. If you have spotted him, then you can guarantee that he has already spotted you. All you essentially accomplish by slowing down to a crawl is letting the unhappy jogger on the sidewalk beat you to the stop light.

9) The fast lane is for a reason: Driving Fast. A little known law that is actually ticketable, is failing to pass while driving in the fast lane. Driving the same speed as the person next to you, does not qualify as driving fast. And, heaven forbid, being passed in the fast lane should result in a three month suspension of your driver’s license. Obey they law and drive fast in the fast lane!

10) Drafting is for professional drivers on a closed course. You attempting to draft two feet behind the vehicle in front of you is actually called tailgating. Additionally, it has been scientifically proven to make the lead vehicle drive slower, contrary to our deepest beliefs they will shift lanes. Besides making the driver in front of you reduce their speed, they most likely will contemplate if they should slam on their brakes and let the wreck sort it’s self out. Only the fear of you not having insurance keeps them from doing so. Always follow the two second rule… if you can count to two and they are still in front of you, get in another lane or slow down!


Thank you for taking the time to read my thoughts. While not all may apply to you, hopefully we can all glean something from this light-hearted but insightful article.



No driver’s were harmed in the making of this protest. Any resemblance to known people is strictly coincidence and is intended merely for the reader’s pleasure. Thank you!

[nms]

I take issue with #6. Riding on the sidewalk at speed is magnitudes more dangerous than riding in the road with heavy traffic.

Other than that, very good,,, carry on.

[treitz3]

Not to mention illegal.

[BaggedLancer]

I always want to throw like a broomstick in the spokes of a wheel of a biker on the roads near me. They are far too narrow for bikers and they always cause traffic.

Take it to a damn track or don't ride it at all!

[brettw22]

If a lane's too small for a bike, then a car sure the hell shouldn't be in it...............

JK.

The jerk in the passing lane driving neck and neck with the driver next to him going 5 miles below the speed limit.

[bobman1235]

Bikers (cyclists, not motor) are fine as long as they "know their place". It's cyclists who think they're kings of the road that are the problem; I have no problem with bikers who know how to ride considering I am one (or used to be before I got lazy).

My biggest pet peeve about driving is anything involving headlights. People who don't use them in the rain, fog, or dark. People who put their high beams on all the time. People who don't understand that daytime running lights aren't good at night (your taillights don't come on, hint if there's any idiots on this board who don't realize that).

Also, I saw it a bunch of times in this thread - overuse of the word "literally." "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

[BaggedLancer]

Ohhhh by bikers I meant cyclists...not motorcycles.

******* that think its cool to walk in the *****n' road. This is usually the same crowd that trudges along with their pants half off as if they were ready to take one up the ass.

Trailing not too far behind are the 18+ year olds that still think its cool to wear their hat backwards, the beacon of a complete moron.

Anyone that wears sunglasses indoors or at night. (Note; I did this once many moons ago for a group shot at the polk HQ - never wanted to be in the picture - still no excuse)

Those long flights that involve a screaming child that just wont shut the **** up. The parents can't be bothered to exhaust any effort to silence the child. I'd love to do it for them.. further proof that ejection seats for passenger aircraft should be mandatory.

People that are always just a little late. Start at 8:00, they show up at 8:02
every day. Then they have to ge set up, get their coffee, etc.
Meeting time, same thing. Lunch too. Rule of thumb is there is no such thing
as "on time". You're either early, or late. If you plan to be on time, most of
the time you're late.

[daboyz]

Listening to people chomp on food. Also, when watching a movie or TV and all you can hear is forks and knives hitting plates while they're chomping on food.

All drivers in general,especially truckers who pull out just in front of you and then pile up traffic for two miles because they can't or wont get around the vehicle they were trying to pass.

Why ruf993turbo or his girlfriend haven't sent the adoption papers yet.

[madmax]

People who exibit patterns while driving. A coulple of examples: Those who always speed up going up hills and slow down going down. People who tap their brake lights 5 times everytime the guy in front of them slow down. People with no one in front of them who slow to the same speed as the guys in the other full lanes, sometimes even stop when the other lane stop.

You are watching a movie with someone, that same someone is watch the same movie you are and they incessantly ask questions; e.g why is that guy doing that? how come she is crying; what did he say; is that the guy that was there in the beginning; who is that lady; why are they so mad at each other . . . . ad nauseam!!!!

This is me and my beautiful daughter while watching Cowboy games.

[hearingimpared]

Well kids are a completely different story. My 10 year old can be a real chatter box when watching a movie. So number one I don't let him watch anything that is over his head. . . PG and below for movies. Pure PG and below on TV. . . Pure PG meaning no PG L, D or V.

When watching the movie I warn him ahead of time that it is rude to make comments or ask too many questions because others then can't hear the dialog. It usually works.

Other than those two instances he can yap all he wants.

Muscle spasms. Especially eye twitching. My eyes twitch almost constantly anymore. Most people say it's because of all the stress I've been dealing with. Makes me want to stick forks in my eyes. What bugs me even more is when a muscle spasm turns into a full fledged cramp and it feels like your muscle is gonna rip itself right off the bone. Yeah, they suck.

Oh and I don't get mad about people who drive like morons. I am either moving way to fast for them to even react to me or I just go around them screaming like a banshee and smiling moroningly.

Oh and when you are trying to bust loose the flex plate bolts and the last one is a pain in the tukis and it finally busts loose and your hand slides off the wrench and your knuckles and/or wrists scrape right along the gear teeth of the flex plate. Makes for an awesome day! Let me tell you!

[Jstas]

By leaps and bounds the absolute worst!!! Do you get "rib spreaders"???

Some times. What I really hate is when my shoulders tense up and my entire back feels like it wants to curl in on itself.

What really sucks too is when I'm sleepin' and I'm laying funny on an extremity of some sort and it "falls asleep" from lack of blood flow. I wake up and get angry because I know as soon as the blood flow starts again, the whole arm or leg is gonna tense up and cramp like crazy.

Or when I'm turning my head to look at something a neck muscle freaks out and whips my head around and effectively gives myself whiplash. Yeah, that sucks too. Gives me one hell of a head ache too.

[Jstas]

I prescribe some potassium/calcium and magnesium STAT.

You know what? I've put down like two or three bananas (high in potassium and such) and it doesn't help much. I also gotta be careful with the calcium. I'm a cookies and milk junky and I've actually had calcium growths develop on bones because my calcium intake gets too high.

[Jstas]

Or just a quart of water.


Or beer! Besides, alcohol is a muscle relaxant and a blood thinner. Helps out with the cramps and head aches.



Of course I could back off on the exercise stuff. I don't need to beat myself up 6 days a week I guess.

I have a new pet peeve as of last night - remote operated gas filler doors on vehicles. Are people really still stealing gas so much that we need these things? Because when it's cold and wet out, they tend to freeze shut,and when you're by yourself there's no way to get them open. I'm walking around my car 14 times in the freezing cold, pulling the lever, then trying to pry the stupid thing open wiht my keys, then going back to pull the lever again... wtf. What idiot thought of this one? Obviously someone from a warm climate.

E-mail spam really bothers me. I don't get very much email, so when I do it's exciting! But when I find out that inbox is filled with things not want... David Banner angry!

There is a cure for rat infestation?:confused:


I thought there was, but it seems I was mistaken.

I remember them in the winter months. I used to give it, square in the middle, a good knee and that would seem to break the ice seal around the door and catch.

How about those pesky people at the airport going around touching everyone's "junk".

I have to say my brain cannot comprehend why people LEAVE their turn signals Blinking while they're sitting amungst other cars "IN A TURNING LANE".

The lane is designated for turnning.
The light is designated for turnning.
Everybody around you knows your turning



At night, It really , REALLY bothers me so much that I want to get out and aproach them and ask "WHY is your blinker on?" who are you signaling to? The people in front of you, behind you, and all around you KNOW your turning in that direction as soon as the light changes. Good grief!

Some blinkers are so bright to me at night, I think they are setting some neanderthal reaction off in me.:mad:

I generally hate people who don't use their turn signals when they're turning. People do often use turning lanes for something other than their intended purpose.

If I approach an intersection in a left turn lane, and see someone in the opposite left turn lane without their blinker on, I have to wait until they start their turn to make sure they're not suddenly going to decide that they really were supposed to be in the center "straight through" lane, and cut in front of me.

I use my turn signal when I intend to turn, whether I'm in a designated lane or not.

What really annoys ME about turn signals, is people who will slow down on a busy two lane road, WITHOUT their signal on, then flick it on for a single blink when they're halfway into the parking lot...

Women, who think they are men, that play trumpets.

Complaining women who can't bake a damn pie without the filling oozing all over the plate.

ha! That's very specific.

It almost feels like you were staring at the person while you wrote it. The clenched jaw really came out through your writing :biggrin::biggrin:

People who don't/wont put a few bucks where their mouth is and help out a member who is about to be put on the street with his family. (In the winter, in Michigan) That is my peeve for today.

[Jstas]

Self-proclaimed experts that really don't have a clue.

People who ignore the facts and hold on to out-dated, misguided beliefs based on ignorance and a lack of applicable experience yet it doesn't prevent them from opening their gaping maw and letting the most inane and utterly astounding foolishness based on those beliefs to escape and be foisted off as being rational, reality-based thought.

And passive aggressive twits who call others to the mat because they don't agree with whatever ideal/cause/crusade/agenda they think that others should be concerned about.

Neighbors who own 2 large dogs, leave them outside 24/7, and never clean up the dog ****. What is the point of having a 24/7 outside dog?

Even worse, white trash who move from their home, and leave their dog behind. Every morning I see this dog out in front of the empty house, waiting for the people to come back. Friends of ours that live down the street from the house confirmed this first hand. The neighbors feed the dog when they can...WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:mad:

More pet peeves...

People who drive Miatas...in the snow.

The fact that when it snows, 99% of the population seems to think that the traffic laws no longer matter and stop using blinkers, drive on the wrong side of the road and disobey traffic signs and signals. Then they blame the snow when something bad happens.

My pet peeve happened to my wife last night. We were walking out of the restaurant and there was a woman scurrying toward the door...so my wife waited a few extra seconds to hold the door for her. The woman went in and never even muttered a "thanks".

When that ignorance happens to me I make it a point to very loudly say to the person "YOU'RE WELCOME". Most times I just get a confused look...sometimes I get a response to which I reply (as stated on DSOTM)...hey, good manners don't cost anything do they?

[bobman1235]

Here's one of my biggest pet peeves. I live on a hill that intersects the main road at a pretty sharp angle. The direction I approach my street requires me to turn pretty sharply to the left onto my street and then uphill. So if someone is at the bottom of the hill, say turning left onto th emain road, it makes it REALLY difficult to go around them. So, as I'm approaching I'll give them the high beam flash, like, "go ahead". Then I'll give them another little flash. Then I'll open my window (when its' five friggin' degrees outside) and give them a wave. Do they pay attention? NO. Maybe 5% of the time someone is sitting at that stop sign do they actually pay attention enough to get out of the way before I come to a COMPLETE stop and sit there and wait for them to wake the eff up, and now I'm holding up traffic on the main road.

It's gotten to the point where I've given up, and have gotten pretty good at just slingshotting around people. If the sand or ice is good enough I can even kick my back end around a little bit; not easy in the Subaru. I'm all for being a courteous driver but you gotta friggin' PAY ATTENTION PEOPLE. Then of course people look at me like I'm an a-hole, but maybe if they would pay attention and put their foot in the tank when someone waved them on, I wouldn't ahve to resort to being an a-hole.
