Pet peeve thread?

[GH85Carrera]

I encountered another one today. Loud Christmas music 5 days after Christmas at a business. And the bad 60s children level junk. I hated Frosty & Rudolph songs as a kid, it is real annoying now.

1. People who drive about with their fog lights on all the time.
2. People who camp out in the left lane.
3. Inconsiderate people (also see 1 & 2 above).

I don't do pet peeves any more, because I don't have anger management issues.

I AM an anger management issue.

Sporting events where the crowd noise amplitude is higher than the announcer's.
The NFL is a frequent violator of this...especially MNF. One would think that the sound engineer is on leave. Direct TV has close caption & we use it when the crowd noise is high.

[Don Ro]

How about another NFL peeve?
.
A team scores & the control room seems to think that we want to watch the crown scream & cry - NOT SO! I want to watch the rejoicing of the players - that's where the fun is. Ever since day 1 of TV broadcasting, the camera goes to the crowd. WTF!

[Don Ro]

I'll complain (mostly out loud) about what I see in traffic - but then, a short distance later, I'm doing the same thing. It's a b!tch, I tell ya! I can't seem to escape it. Calling self-forgiveness.

Just encountered one of my pet peeves: People who drive sports car below speed limit slow.

[KevinTodd]

People who walk two or three abreast on a sidewalk and do not follow the basic rule of "pass on the right" as to allow oncoming walkers/runners by without stepping off onto the roadway.

I was behind a new Corvette z06 as we merged onto a interstate from another interstate. The sky was blue, the sun us out, 60 degree day and the vette driver took the curve slower than I would do it if there was ice or snow on the ground and is was in my 1986 El Camino. He should be ticketed for impending traffic and barred from ever driving a Corvette or sporty car. Put him in a smart car.

I've never seen a Vette driver drive at [let alone go above] the speed limit.

Never.

Nor have I seen any take a turn or a curve at speed.

I think they are afraid they will break their car.

Ha! On a highway east of here a few years back, I observed a couple of C3s sitting at the top of the on ramp. One guy was just getting into his car. I was watching them and my odometer and, as I passed a point 1 mile past the overpass, he started to join the highway. By the time I was another mile down the road, he had overtaken me! Since I was traveling at 60 mph, that, in my book is averaging 120 mph from a standing start.

On the pet peeve side: I followed an old lady into town the other day. She stopped her car and parked on top of the X which was painted at the entrance to the main intersection in town, got out and walked across the intersection into the bank. I know Bridgetown isn't very big, but ....

Pet peeve number 2. A couple of years ago, I deposited two cheques in an envelope in a banking machine for my bank. A week later I get a letter from my bank saying there was only one cheque in the envelope. I got the my MIL, who had written the cheque to determine if it had been cashed, (it hadn't) and she issued me a new cheque, which I deposited.
Two weeks ago, I deposited two cheques at another branch of my bank. Yesterday, I got another letter from my bank saying they only had one cheque. The second cheque was (you guessed it) from my MIL.
I'm not sure I want to be dealing with a bank whose employees can not count to two!
