ok I have one... two really.
Posting a car in For Sale section with the POS still on the trailer... really????
Just screams of - I just bought this car for 'X' that I found in a field somewhere and now I'm gonna sell it to you for 1000 x 'X'. The other is FS photos with the car washed 10 seconds ago... hose, soap visible & waterlogged driveway to boot. Both - instant disqualify (for me at least)...

How about a third... Hideous BBS wheels - instant pass.

ok, carry on.

Current pet peeve: greedy people who are upset that someone else besides them got a good deal.

I don't get it? You're upset that the guy with the car on the trailer is flipping the car for a profit? Get over it. If must REALLY make you mad that the store buys stuff for less and sells it to you for more than they paid. OMG the injustice.

Just look at the car and the price. If its worth it, buy it. Don't worry if he paid less. Sheesh.

Washed cars are nice. I hate showing up to see a car and its trashed with crap.
It'll clean up nice he says. Why is it me that has to pull the French fries from the seats!

My current peeve:
The 1,000,000 political commentaries that my friends insist on posting on Facebook. "Trump is an idiot," "Hilary is a liar," "Bernie the Commie..." etc. Enough already - from both sides. Why do people insist on posting this drivel? Do they really think they will sway others with all the nonsense posting? Almost makes me long for the times when everyone just posted about their own miserable, pathetic lives.

I wish there was a PARF section for Facebook... Compartmentalize the Political nonsense

Tailgating, and bright headlights in my mirrors on the way to work @ 6:00 in the morning. If you are in that big of a hurry, to pass me and run right up to tailgate the car ahead of me.....leave home a few minutes earlier.

I-75 is under construction again (lane widening) and the concrete barriers are up on the white lines, but yet, these idiots still insist on tailgating and attemping to PUSH their way through traffic. All of the semi trucks are instructed to run in the median lane, and all the idiots who aren't tailgating, are too scared to pass the semis on the "wrong" side.

All of this makes from some impressive multi-car accidents at least a couple of times a day.

Negativity. Examples:

Let's meet for a canyon run. "OMG! You idiots. You're all gonna die!

Anyone watching Formula 1 this weekend? "Formula 1 SUCKS!!! zzzz zzzz zzzz"

Muscle cars are cool. "Muscle cars SUCK!!! Where's your gold chain and cigarette Corvette loser?" (I'm guilty as charged)

Which car should I buy, the BMW 325 or MB E320? "That's stupid...Buy a VW Jetta. Buy at Lexus. Buy a Boxster. My friend has a BMW 325 and his friend has a MB E320 and they BOTH SUCK!!!!

I always get a kick out of the guy that wants to be reimbursed for his "Inconvenience" when a dealership doesn't have the part in stock that he wants to buy and install himself.

+1!

also unnecessary spaces between lines it posts

also:
1. "Begs the question" when you mean "raises the question."
2. "besides the point" vs "beside the point"
3. overuse of "restored" (1962 Chevy Impala, fresh restoration, 350/700R4, Ford 9" rear end)

"Would of"...."could of"....."should of" = NO! NO! NO!

It's "would have", "could have", "should have"......idiot!

That would be: "a moot point"


People who post song lyrics which have very little relationship to the words the artist actually sang. From time to time, when I'm trying to learn a new song, I will come across lyrics which have possible been posted by someone who either has a hearing impairment or speaks English as a second or third language.

That's one thing about writing your own stuff. If you screw up the lyric, you know who to blame.
