What's your favorite pet peeve???

[tweeter]

I was just wondering what drives us individually nuts!! Not your average 'end-of-the-world' serious stuff, just the little things that apparently don't mean much to the perpetrators, but just drives you crazy?

Here's a couple of mine...Your versus You're. 'Your' describes possession and 'you're' describes action (as in you are)...I've lost track of how many times a day I see 'your right or your here' instead of 'you're right, or you're here', even on signs...absolutely drives me around the bend!!

Another one is seeing dogs in the back of pickup trucks as the driver speeds down the road making sudden lane changes and turns as the poor dog careens around frantically trying to stay upright. (That's now against the law in Florida, but rarely enforced).

Anyway, seems to be a slow day, so how about some feedback on your personal life's little irritations???

With this crowd, this ought to be fun....Tweet

[Muggles]

People who do not read the rules, and complain if they get caught.

People who try to skirt the rules, and complain when they get caught.

People who do not use the search engine to try to find an answer and just post anyway. When the answer is a thread or two down.

Dealers who gotta bash each other... Makes them all look bad.

Dealers who are too cheap to advertise here, but want the business this site CAN provide.

And I got many more.......

But in everyday life................

The drivers who have no common sense.... That is number 1 in real life.

Another biggie!!!! A client who tries to tell me how to fix their problem.... ( WHY, call if you know how to fix it)?

[Captain_Fantastic]

People talking on the phone while their driving. And people that don't keep their word. O yea, OZ's with to many seeds.

[md1889]

Got that right Captain...stems really suck too! ;)

I think this may be everyone's pet peeve....

When someone comes off the ramp onto the Interstate and the the left lane is a magnet. They STAY there, poking along at 55 mph when the speed limit is 65! To top it off, they won't get over no matter what! That irritates the heck outta me!!

I'm know I have more, but they must not be too bad cuz I can't think of 'em right at this moment :D

I agree with you Mrs. C. I specially get irritated when I get caught on the entrance ramp to a busy 70 mph highway behind someone who is trying to enter it at 40 miles per hour or worse yet, they get scared and stop at the end of the ramp! Nothing worse than trying to merge with 70 mph traffic from a dead stop.

[Executioner]

1. Dirty public phones. I can't stand the thought of putting some greezy, sweat soaked, sun baked, used by 1000's of people, piece of plastic to my ear.

2. I don't like my feet being touched. I've actualy knocked my wife out of bed because her foot "accidently" touched mine and my recoil was a swift kick. Too bad she was laying on the very edge of the bed. Hehe.

3. This one might be harsh for some but, I absolutly hate to see a family in a department store and the kids are in dirty, torn, worn out clothes, there shoes are destroyed, there hair is a mess, their face is a mess, and Mom and Dad are buying a f**king gold necklace or something trivial instead of what is necessary.

:D Don't hold back, tell us what you really think :D

I gotta go with the slow driver in the left lane, very few things get to me, BUT that just BLOWS ME UP.

Traffic seems to be at the top of the list for me. It is the time when interaction with morons and mental midgets has to lived with. Changing lanes never helped anyone! If everyone picked a lane and stayed in it we would ALL get keep rolling. Aaaaah but heres an idea I'm working on.
Pirate Comuterlane Club,,,The fine for driving in the comuterlane where I live is $271. It is not a violation that effects your insurance or your license. I'm thinking of starting a club that you join for $50 and pays your fine minus $25 (deductable) for a year.It would be like insurance
against the ticket. I myself simply use that lane everyday for a predetermained 4 miles. If I get caught once a year it's worth the $271.

[quaddawg]

ANY driver in the left lane. (cause they are all slow when Im comin!!)

Seriously, Traffice gets my goat more than anything, including the above, plus:

Drivers that can't merge
Drivers that won't get on the HWY at HWY speeds
Drivers that slow down BEFORE getting on exit ramp
Drivers that rubberneck slowing BOTH sides of HWY at accident
Drivers that don't keep the line tight taking off at green
lights, they allow 4 or 5 car lengths to elapse before going


you know what??

DRIVERS IN GENERAL!!!!!!!

That and the toilet seat thing..

[poolnet]

Rain fade. Old women with blue hair. Drivers who continuously look at the side of the road, back and forth. The word pinochle, what kind of word is that anyway? Should be peenuckle. False attempts at inner beauty. I also got a thing about spiders but enough is enough.

Hey,

Now that I have had a few cold frosty ones, something else that gets me is user names I can't pronounce.

Cerberus, Mr. or Mrs., could you please give us a phonetic on that. I come up with "serb-er-us" , is that close.

[poolnet]

Okay, someone tell me not to post this new thread. I have a hair trigger in my mouse and I feel like scratchin.

[poolnet]

short sighted judgemental blind lemming people.

[zcubed]

Physically fit, non-disabled, people who park in handicapped spaces, with or without a sticker.

People who don't use their blinkers.

Telemarketers who don't understand the word "NO".

People who pay for their groceries in food stamps, and then you see them loading them into a Lexus.

[cerberus]

I have to agree with the masses here. It is these dang drivers that ride in the left hand lane. You will see them make their entrance to the highway and merge directly to the left hand lane. I dunno about yall but back when I took drivers ed, I was taught to pass in the left and when done proceed back to the right lane. If you try to pass them in the right hand lane they speed up. [red]ERRR[/color]...when you drive about 300 miles a day it really starts to get on your nerves.

Yes...milogone...Mrs C and I were at Lowes the other day. While walking up to the front by the disabled parking, this guy pulls up in a flat bed truck with yard equiptment on the back. Guess what was hanging from his rear view mirror? One of those little blue cards...no...not an H...and this guy gets out and beats us to the door. Pitiful when you have to stoop that low:(

People calling my house at 3:00 a.m. wanting walgreens

Getting to work 5 minutes early I'd rather drive around the block again.

My pager going off and off and off.

This jerk at the car wash who is trying to screw me around on damages his car wash did to my car.

People begging me to come to their house to do electric work and then want to pay me with a few beers and some peanuts.

WOW Who got me started............

Oh yeah! me to with any driver not going where I am going and not making use of a good piece of road that is not being used in front of them. I just hate to see a good piece of road not being used, I say speed up until you catch the guy in front of you and then proceed to cuss him for not getting out of your way!

Boy that felt good, everybody have a great day~~~
