Pet peeves lets hear em.

[Junior]

Well I will start this off with just a few of mine. Most involve driving, but some are just plain manners.

Driving

Folks the turning lane is there for a reason.

In the left lane on the interstate you should at least be going the speed limit.

Tailgating it is not a good idea. I guess this one comes from my truck driving days, but don’t like to look back and only be able to see the windshield back.

The one way lanes in parking lots. They are there for a reason.
I was at Wal-Mart the other day, and some moron pulled out of his spot, and instead of backing up 10 feet to let me in the spot he tried to get around me. I don’t know about you, but I don’t think that a full size SUV and a full size truck are going to fit side by side in those lanes. The same morons came back a few minutes after my wife went into the store. I don’t know what they were going to do, but they left quick fast and in a hurry when I hopped out forgetting that I didn't have a jacket on, and my pistol was still on my side.

Turning signals that stick beside your steering wheel is not a armrest.

Manners
I had a discussion about this with a friend the other day. He came to the conclusion that we were weird ones, and the other people were now considered normal.

Please and thank you. Learn what they mean.

Holding the door for someone I still do this every day, but it is odd how people react. I have even gotten the stink eye over it.

Watch your children. If I did what half of what I see now when I was a kid I still wouldn’t be able to sit down.

These are just a few of the ones I can think of off the top of my head. By all means list some of your own.

[white_s2k]

Bad drivers is my absolute biggest pet peeve also.

It amazes me how bad at driving some people are.

[WildBlueSooner]

Ray you listed so many of my pet peeves. I try to be very friendly and considerate when driving and otherwise. I guess my biggest pet peeve is when people cannot say "thank you" when you do something for them, even something little like holding a door. I hold the door open wherever I am if there is someone following me, sometimes when they are a ways back. I simple thank you would be great...some people just avoid eye contact and walk on through.

That leads me to eye contact. I try to look at people when I am talking to them. Too me this shows that one is actually listening and involved in the conversation. I see people just looking around more and more when they are talking to someone else.

These are small things in the grand scheme, but it is the small things that could really make things a lot better.

[WildBlueSooner]

Oh I thought of a driving one that really gets my goat...when someone pulls out in front of you like they are in a hurry, the drive 10 mph under the speed limit...wtf?

[Junior]

Your sir are correct, but it seems to be getting worse every year. My mother is a school teacher, and every year it seems that the students are worse than the last years.

[DPD6030]

Ray you hit some many of these on the head. How about failing to use your turn signal (picture red and blue lights in your review now :) )

Oh and people that chew with their mouth open and make the most annoying noises while eating (like a cow eating..crunching, slurping and generally just being disgusting).

That is is my problem that you broke the law and now are getting a ticket or going to jail.

[WildBlueSooner]

Your sir are correct, but it seems to be getting worse every year. My mother is a school teacher, and every year it seems that the students are worse than the last years.

I always try to avoid the "things are getting worse" attitude, but I am really finding it harder and harder. Just walking down the street is seems no one makes eye contact, waves, greets...nothing. If anything they bump into and don't offer an apology. :confused:

But, there are still many great folks out there...this board is evidence!

[AllOGistics]

I think all of the pet peeves listed are pet peeves of mine as well. There is one other that really gets under my skin. I really hate when people ride a lane that is clearly about to close just to get ahead of everyone and then insist that they have right to get in front of everyone else. There may be times when people get stuck in a closed lane and need to get over. That's alright. But to use a closed lane as a way to try and skip the traffic is just crap. Not to mention, it actually creates more traffic because people are having to accommodate those who shouldn't be in that lane anyway. I know we've all gotten stuck in a closing lane from time to time, and to those that have been reasonable concerning getting back into an open lane, I thank you.

Good one. The road that leads to the gate to get on base was down to one lane because of the tornado damage the other day...some dicks were trying to pull this...wanted to strangle them!

I'm actually looking forward to the day when I can waive a cane at someone and appropriately use the term "whipper snapper". Maybe I just like being crotchety- I guess that's why I started early.

[Junior]

Here is another one that really chaps my a$$. It is people that will not stay at a constant speed on the highway. I had a 30 mile stretch of highway that I was on Saturday, and passed the same car 4 times. They of course stayed in the left lane the entire time. People if you can’t manage your speed use the cruse control.

Oh this morning on the way into work, double lane highway. Old man driving in right lane. Apparently sleeping as I approach he drifts to the right. Just as I'm about to pass he drifts to the left into my lane at least a foot maybe two. I honk. He has the never to give me the bird!

I don't like receiving the "go-ahead" wave when it wasn't my right of way. The rules of the road exist for everyone. I know you think you're being kind by waving me on to take my left turn, but you're actually interfering with everyone's habits of traffic. It's arrogant and potentially dangerous; you're not the princess of the street. (I do appreciate being let out when traffic's heavy, I'm talking about being at an intersection with only a few other vehicles).

In general, people with no tact. People that just can't seem to take a hint. This girl at work is in constant need of self-esteem bolstering and I'm about to run out of patience. I'm not your boyfriend, if you need to hear that you're pretty, go talk to him. or dump him. It's really past the point of being under my control.

Just today she mentioned how she wants to be a fitness model/bodybuilder. She DOES have sick abs and just won some local bikini contest. So my other friend said "wow that sounds like fun." And the model girl goes "That's how you encourage a friend?"

What the heck did she want?!

[landhoney]

Rubberneckers :mad: Give me a break, we just sat in traffic for half-an-hour because people in front of you had to take a look, now it's your turn :rolleyes: This happens sometimes even when the accident is in the other direction on the other side of the highway, double :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Don’t get me started I could go all day. I do a lot of driving.
This one happened about a month ago. There is a stretch of road that leads up to a stop light. It is a two lane that opens up to a three lane a left straight and right turn lanes. The kicker is the right lane turns into the right turn lane, and the left veers a little to the right to become the straight lane. I was in the left lane going straight, and just as I got up to about the rear tire of the person in the right lane he came over on me. I did what I do and honked at him slowed down and let him in. All he had to do was look to his left and he couldn’t miss a big white SUV. Come to find out he is an insurance agent as well. I know this because he turned into his agency about a quarter of a mile from mine. The thing that floored me was he came and apologized for it about an hour later.


This one happened almost a week ago going into Nashville. We were all backed up in the left lane coming off of Ridgetop hill leading into Nashville. Come to find out some moron was in the left lane running 10mph under the speed limit. The thing that happened next still makes me laugh now. When it turned into a 3 lane the guy right behind the moron pulled up beside him rolled down his window honked the horn and gave him the super bird full arm extended out of his window. I couldn’t help, but laugh. I hope it will make him think twice next time he comes down thru there, but it probably won’t.

Seems to me like he was impeading traffic or driving too slow for conditions. Might deserve a ticket. :tu

Car Warrranty companies. I bought my Moms Tahoe 2 years ago, and started getting mailing about two weeks later, and still get them to this day. I also bought a new to me Yukon 10 days ago.

THANK YOU!!! I hate that one. This kind of ties in- people who don't know (or blatantly disregard) how to operate a four-way stop.


Watch your children. If I did what half of what I see now when I was a kid I still wouldn’t be able to sit down.


This reminded me of something that happened to me a couple months ago. I was at a restaurant, and someone kept tickling their child and making them yelp and squeal for ALL to hear. This was parent induced. When the child wasn't being tickled, she was yelling. At one point, the child was standing on the table. Everyone in that section was getting pissed and people were just leaving. Some tables tried to get their waitress/waiter to get the manager; nothing ever came of this. Finally, I had enough and was just trying to enjoy my meal. I walked over there and said as calm as I could, "Excuse me, I know you think it's precious, but could please control your kid." Normally, I would of inserted several expletives, but I figured it would be best to keep things civil. The table behind the mother causing the trouble chimed in and stated that they were annoyed also. The mother really didn't say much and never really apologized. I went and sat down and five minutes later a manager comes up. He then tells me to stop bothering his patrons. WTF? I tried to tell him that I wasn't the one chasing off his customers. One of the tables around me came to my defense. It was a ridiculous situation. In the end, I left pretty pissed off and won't go back. I can't blame the restaurant for their customers, but it was completely mishandled by management.

I'm one of the people that do this, usually when it's just one car or two. I let them go on to protect myself--from them hitting my ass by not paying attention!

I’m going to have to have a serious talk with Mom. I bet you she is the one that sold me out.

Here is one that I use to irritate my wife every once and a while. She took a job working for the state, and went and picked up all her stuff car, uniforms, and a mess of other stuff. When she got home I asked her where her shovel was. She looked at me a little puzzled, and I replied to her with you know the one you lean on when you are on the side of the road. I thought she was going to take my head off.

My pet peeve is bad spelling. I do misspell things occasionally, but I hate when the person writing doesn't seem to even try to spell properly. There is a MN fishing board I frequent, and sometimes I really have to "bite my tongue" when reading some posts, so as to not give the poster a ration of crap for their bad spelling. "Jeez dude, are you really that dumb?"

Where I come from any carbonated drink is a coke not a pop or soda pop it is all a coke.

Here are a couple of golf ones I have.

People that stand up at the tee box and BS with everyone in there group for 10 minutes before teeing off.

We have pretty open fairways where I play. Well one day I shanked one into another fairway, and someone coming up from the hole ahead of us tried to pick up my ball. The kicker when he tossed a ball back out it wasn’t the ProV1 that I hit it was a cheap junk ball.

And the last one people that hit into you. People this is not my fault I have to wait for the group ahead of me before I can hit, and they usually don’t even yell fore. I got so steamed a couple of years ago when one almost hit my mom that I hit that ball into the woods for them. I had asked them a couple of times to please not do that, and I let my temper get the better of me.

Ball marks you made em you fix them. We all have to do our part to keep the course in good shape for everyone.

Improper speech and the thug talk kills me as well.

Tailgaters, especially when I was on my Harley.

When musicians and celebs voice their political opinions.

A man using the word "peek" in a banter thread.

Man rule 274B Section 2 states the following: The word "peek" shall never be used in written or spoken form involving another man. If you want to use the word "peek" it can only be said to a women in private in a phrase such as, "can I have a peek".

[WildBlueSooner]

I agree 100%, and will add one in it is the Redneck/Hick talk. I will admit I fall into it every once and a while when with old friends, but my Mother is a English teacher so she kept us in line.

Having to spell my name for people it is simple Ray Smith. Now how hard is that? I actually had to write it down for a hotel clerk in Columbus, OH last year, and I don’t have much of an accent.

One more driving one that happened to me while at Wal-Mart during lunch. Morons that will sit forever for a parking spot when there is a open one 3 spaces down. I had one that I just about backed out into because they had backed up behind me while I was backing out to wait for a parking spot when 2 spots down was one that was empty.

#1 looking back-and-forth syaing "Where? Where?" to interurpt them. When they ask what, I say I thought you said you "eyed a deer."
#2 I interupt them politely, and irritate them into saying it right or ask them to spell it. "You had a what? a what? I'm sorry, I don't understand. Can you spell that?" When they spell it right, "OH! An IDEA!" (I even had a wisea$$ continue on and said ider again... "a what?" continued until he said it correctly.


Yes, I can tend to be an a$$.


For driving, I hate the morons that drive like truckers in the small vehicle. I understand why Big-rigs have to pull wide before a turn, but a moron in a car???
Why do some idiots have to slow down and pull to the left side of the lane, before they turn right? or vice-versa?

People who pull out in front of you, go 100 yards, then make a turn.
People who use phrases like "for all intensive purposes" or "it's a mute point."
People who "drift." You know, they shuffle along in front of you just slightly quicker than tectonic plate shifting, then when you attempt to go around them, they suddenly and inexplicably drift in that direction.
People who do the "hack, hack" thing to hint that your smoke bothers them. I actually had some clueless woman do this to me *in the B&M* last week. True, it's more of a Quick Draw and magazine shop than a real B&M, but the name of the place is Palace Cigar! :rolleyes:

My wife telling me where to turn when we are going somewhere that we have both been 50 times before. I can't even describe how much that ticks me off.

My wife and I joke that I am an idiot magnet when I drive.

I always have someone speed up to get in front of me to make a turn. I'm fairly aware of my surroundings, so I know when they started out from behind me in the next lane. I normally drive about 5mph over the limit, so it's not like I'm driving like a grandma. Nine times out of ten there's not someone immediately behind me, so theres really no reason for it.

People who insist on turning left out of a gas station on a corner in heavy traffic, so they just pull out and stop, blocking an entire lane of traffic.

Punk kids who walk three or four abreast right down the middle of the street, or bicyclists who ride right in the middle of the street as well. (Not a highway, but a residential street.)

Jackwads who have the subwoofer sound systems in their cars, and insist on driving through my neighborhood at 12:00 midnight with it on so loud that windows rattle and car alarms go off.

A: Talk louder
B: Be quiet and give them a look like their pants are unzipped.

3.
People behind me in a grocery line who stand so fricking close when I'm using the ATM thing that I like to turn and ask them "do you remember what my code is? I forget..."

4.

One of my biggest and I don’t think I have seen it mentioned….

I hate seeing people leave their shopping carts next to their cars in the parking lot. Or prop it up on the curbing/landscape area. It being MUCH, MUCH too difficult for them to walk it to a cart return or back into the store…. Probably the same people who ***** about a cart ding….

Here is another one that really chaps my a$$. It is people that will not stay at a constant speed on the highway. I had a 30 mile stretch of highway that I was on Saturday, and passed the same car 4 times. They of course stayed in the left lane the entire time. People if you can’t manage your speed use the cruise control.

That is a good one and bothersome…. More so, because I feel self conscious that their passengers may feel like I am the offender. If on the open road, I use speed control….ALWAYS.

Don't sell cigarettes when you are working. See how I solved that for you? When you come on shift, quit selling the products that annoy you when they are consumed in the lounge your employer provides. Remove them at the beginning of your shift. Tell those asking that you don't sell those. Put them back when your shift ends.
If your employer objects to that, you have a couple choices, suck it up, Buttercup, whinge on about it, or get that resume sharpened up for another part time job at a tobacconist that doesn't dig the ciggy smoke.

You would not think that way if you have driven those big trucks. You can always just punch it after he's done and get back to where you would have been.
