Really? I mean really? That is your big hissy fit concern?
If they don't want you to know then nonya bizness.

My pet peeve is folks that whine about things that are way too trivial.

No, I don't want them to harvest my information just for them to tell me what products they sell. If they want me as a customer, they first must demonstrate they deserve to get my info by having a product or service I want.
Why do you think you are entitled to be notified where someone is located?

Music videos of live performances where the singer yaps and yaps and yaps and the actual music doesn't start until at least the 2 minute mark - if you're lucky......

People who buy full-size pick ups and yet never tow or never need the bed for anything.... Ever.
I work with at least 5 of these morons. I'm well aware of the Napoleon complex ... oh, its real.

On the flip side.....people who own performance cars....sports - muscle - whatever - and drive like little old ladies. Especially worse when they sit in the left hand lane being passed on the right.

Corvette drivers are notorious for this!

POSERS! :D

I see plenty of new Cayennes Macans and recent 911's poking around in the truck lane doing 100 kph. It's embarrasing.
If you drive a Porsche, you gotta represent, LIKE YOU STOLE IT.

I hear you on that. And, I know you use your p/u for its intended use!

I absolutely hammer my sports cars whenever I can on every on-ramp... etc. I think the majority of those drivers just wanna remain under the radar because they know they're easy targets for the PoPo...

JJ 911SC 04-04-2020 03:13 PM

Stupid answers to question on Amazon like this one...

Question: How large is the face for text notifications. Do you actually get to see most of the message or just the senders name.

Answer: i dont use the text feature

Copy that.

Even when I'm in the Silverado I'm hammering it. :D

There's certain areas here where I can do it without risking a citation or danger to others, including 4 legged critters.

Yesterday I picked up sod, 10' long lumber, and some roof coating. The day I took this pic it was a patio door and fence pickets. Every week I use it for work and it's loaded with hand held power equipment and other odds and ends.

I always empty it out though between uses. Which brings me to another pet peeve. Truck owners who continually carry everything but the kitchen sink in their truck beds, regardless of what they need that day. And that includes empty cans, bottles, and just straight out trash! :rolleyes:

On Amazon when reading product reviews, they mix in reviews on similar products from the same manufacturer rather than limiting the reviews to the exact product you are looking at.

I have a bunch of hooks in my sheds that i hang bicycles on. Almost every time I do the valve stem is right where i want to hook it. How does that happen?! I should play roulette

A CV19 pet peeve
Went to Wallyworld today. Numerous people (usually elderly) stop in the middle of the isle and stare at the shelf for a full 1-2 minutes. Only 2 or 2.5 feet between them and shelves on either side. Effectually a road block. Probably the same folks who cruise at 55 mph in the left lane of the interstate with a 60-70 limit..

RSBob 04-08-2020 08:20 PM

People who have a runny nose and sniff and sniff rather than blowing their nose.
People who eat with their mouth open. I don’t need to see it or hear it.

Bill Douglas 04-08-2020 08:26 PM

The streets are almost empty here. Yet people still launch themselves onto pedestrian crossings in front of cars. The drivers dutifully SLAM on the brakes of course. But why don't the walkers just wait five or ten seconds...

People who start every sentence with the word "so". So did I already post that?

When I put a sign on the front door of my business to say phone or email us (both on sign) and they knock on the door. Wtf?

If you got my email address correct I probably got your email. Now did I read your email? That's the question that should be asked...

Baz 04-09-2020 08:05 AM

People who don't respond when I send them an email. So....I have to call them via phone....to see if they got my email......

KFC911 04-09-2020 08:11 AM

People who expect me to answer my phone or read emails :D

POSERS! :D

The couple that lives in the house behind our house in our neighborhood custom ordered a new Corvette 10 years ago or so years back. He had seen my 911 many times and I invited him to the autocross. He did not want to drive, but it was in the era when fun runs were allowed. I took him for a lap and he was convinced we were going to die. I never push really hard with passengers, so it was all at 85% max.

He still talks about that crazy fast ride. Shortly after that I followed him to his sister's house to haul some piece of furniture in my El Camino. We never got within 5 MPH of the speed limit. 40 MPH roads were taken at 35 MPH. On the trip back I certainly knew the way home. I was back to his place and had the furniture un-strapped, and all the padding folded and was ready to unload before he pulled up. He is a super nice guy, but I never want to take a road trip with him.

Bill Douglas 04-09-2020 01:49 PM

Glen, there was a guy at my work who would only talk about cars and how fast his hotted up rice burner is - much better than a Porsche of course, so I politely agreed with him.

I arranged a track day at Manfield race track where we could really cut loose for the day and really be car guys. He was really looking forward to it and talking lots of BS in the pub sessions where we worked our where/when to meet up and our drive to the track.

When we got to the track he wouldn't go out because it looked too dangerous or something... then on the way home in moderate traffic he was doing high speed sprints and dangerous passing manoeuvers to impress us :(

Por_sha911 04-09-2020 04:56 PM

Businesses who encourage communication via e-mail but don't reply after a week and then don't understand that a call asking "did you receive my e-mail?" is a polite way of asking "what kind of bass ackward business are you running if you won't serve the customer in a timely manner?"

Wild guess 1. Because they have right of way, and 2. If they don’t act assertive, cars will never stop for them even though stopping is the law. The drivers are at fault, not the peds. You are getting angry at the wrong parties. Check your drivers handbook.

Actually... Around here the law is if cars are within 25 meters of the pedestrian crossing the walker has to wait. It's to avoid emergency braking and other type accidents happening. But no one seems to know this other than those, I guess, who read the drivers handbook.

It's also a consideration/manners thing. No cars for two minutes then they leap out self rightously in front of the net car.

JJ 911SC 04-10-2020 02:47 PM

Real stupid people that write "If you don't get this let me know" at the bottom of their e-mail...

DIY mechanics that slather anti-seize on every nut and bolt they handle to save the next guy that works on it.

That would be me today. The next guy.

Can't remove a lug nut without smearing the gun and my hands with silver grease.

Perfect timing, I just re did a brake job that some one else did prior. Anti seized the back of thepads ,the slides, the caliper piston, and really put it on thick on the hub/studs., Oddly they used loctite on the caliper bracket . I looked like the tin man when I was done .

RSBob 04-10-2020 05:32 PM

People who quote/reply to multi-picture threads which then repopulates all the pictures and then some other moron does it again. Enough already!

Baz 04-10-2020 05:55 PM

Whomever designed clothes dryer vent duct engineering - has to be a sado-masochist.

You can't attach the ducting unless the dryer is 2 feet away from the wall, everything is an inch off the freaking floor, and even if you get it attached...how on God's green earth do you get out from behind the freaking dryer?

Then there's the whole sizing thing - and the way everything attaches. :mad:

It's actually in the rules but I can tell you from first hand experience that few read the rules. That will get you banned on some smaller sites.

flatbutt 04-11-2020 04:53 AM

When people are more interested in fixing the blame rather than fixing the problem.

Lonely, yes. But a very beautiful place nevertheless.

Whoever designed the concrete bag should be taken out in the middle of the ocean and shoved overboard.

Every time I use one concrete spills out everywhere. Bag falls apart on me. :rolleyes:
