I'll throw in another bonus one... These a$$hats that absolutely have to back in to a spot so they can make a quick forward exit. I watched these idiots going in/out until they're perfectly aligned for seemingly forever. Enlighten me... do these people have a phobia about about backing out...? Yet, waste time backing into a spot anyway? Only time I give a pass on this is a Fire Dept truck or vehicle. |

Think it's easier pulling out of a parking spot while backing out? From personal experience I can tell you it's not. When I back into a space, I know what's behind me as I'm backing up. When I back out of a parking space....and into traffic.....I don't have the same field of view. And this doesn't even include situations when I have stuff in my bed that is so high it impedes my view. Like plants for example. I hope this provides a little "perspective" on the situation....no pun intended. ;) |

I don't know how anyone can cut a pie or cake without making a radial cut from the exact center to the outside (in the case of round cakes). When I see pizza or anything else cut off center I think 'what an idiot'.

Smokers.......can't get away from them........

I have another one that deals with stinky smells. Coffee shops and restaurants who make their own coffee and release the ODORS from doing so into my breathing space. Had that happen on Tuesday when we went to the vet (Island Roasters two buildings over) and then today while working at one of my accounts (The Smyrna Yacht Club right across the bay on Riverside Drive). Thought I was going to puke it was so nauseating. :mad: |
Everything that has been going on in Merica since January...

(And a side peeve, me paying taxes for the damage done to streets by people who think they need studded snowtires in a town that gets MAYBE one good snowfall a year.) (Oh yeah, one other one, 2 stroke leafblowers) |
I noticed increased number of threads started with "Do you like...?" That's pretty annoying and childish...so that's my pet peeve even though I ignore them.

(true story from yesterday)
Joggers with an entire deserted street to use as they come around the far corner, but instead they decide to squeeze past a row of overhanging bushes on one side and you the dog-walker on the other with only inches to spare. |

'get off my lawn!' |
Probably a repeat but people who walk out in the street when there's a perfectly good sidewalk they could use. And it's ALWAYS a freaking couple walking side by freaking side so I have to go into the oncoming lane to get around them. Pin heads.......:rolleyes:
|
Bicyclists who have no regard for any traffic laws and think the laws dont apply to them but get pissy when you give them a tap on the horn for being dead in the middle of the lane.
|
Police and Highway Patrols that don't use their blinkers. For Christ's sake, set an example guys.
|
Pedestrians who feel the need to push the button at an intersection......and then immediately cross the intersection.
They don't even know what the button is for. They just push it like a Pavlov rat..... |
I had a white rat in college that came in first place. (psychology class)
I trained it to run from one end of the cage..thru a wheel..over a bridge...push a lever and run back faster than any other rat!! Rats and people can be trained. :) |
That manufactured exhaust pop and burble on modern cars. It gets kind of tired hearing that fake stuff.
|
People that do not check if a stall is occupied before yanking on the door.
Is it really that hard to tell if someone is already there? Apparently so in some cases. |

There is an intersection near my house that is fairly reasonable if a car trips the light and I have to wait at the light. If a pedestrian has to cross and pushes the button it was timed for the Tim Conway old man character that walked super slow. It must be a 45 second cross walk. Everyone comes to a stop for it.

We also have these crosswalks located along the main road on the island. No intersection......just a crosswalk. But the government here has added blinking lights that come to life when a pedestrian pushes a button. When that happens you have to by law stop. Until the pedestrian(s) clear the crosswalk.
I can't tell you how many times I'm the only vehicle headed toward one of these crosswalks when some brainless twit pushes the button. Instead of waiting 3 seconds so I can pass through... |
Food expiration labels, which are in syntax instead of dates.
|
We have one near my town house. People rarely stop for that blinking light. Everytime I stop, I pray I don't get rear-ended.

Civil engineers. (apologies to those here)
Drove around randomly looking at properties FS just for fun. One was beyond my price range but beautiful, on the water, and had everything. So peaceful and relaxing. The next minute a loud jackhammer went off in the distance. The metal bridge made a racket to wake the entire zip code every time a car drove over it. |
I don't understand "Best by" dates on 2000 year old salt..

Again today. Watched a person hit the crosswalk button and 3 seconds later walk across the intersection. Then another couple comes up....looks at the button....pushes it....looks around like they're not sure where they are or what they're doing.
It's the funniest thing - there's a button....let's just push it. I KNOW it will help. What kind of help - I don't know. I just know everything will be better if I push it. :rolleyes: New PP..... Tee shirts which go into the wash right side out......and come out of the dryer inside out! I know....1st world problem but still.....happens every freaking time! |

At this point I don't remember exactly what I learned but I remember I drove a new Pontiac Firebird manual 3 speed. I was pretty good with a clutch - my Dad let me drive pickups around the storage yard at his work. My high school had a 4 speed GTO and I was disappointed to not get a lesson in that. Some months later some girl drove it (GTO) into the shop building. I bet she never forgot that but may have become a better driver for the rest of her life. |
