I am tired of absolutely everything being called racist.

^^^ That's a racist comment! :D

I'm seeing this more and more. People that take pictures of a picture on their phone. If you can't figure out how to get pictures off the first phone, stop using it and just use the 2nd device.

Is the link broken again?
Pet peeve. Broken links!

WTF is with the intentional turbo popping sounds.. seriously?! Always some a$$hat in a BMW. So effin annoying. I wish a baseball bat + forehead are in their future.

I happen to have an srt4. It's about the last sound I would ever want coming out of the tail end of it.

Idiots-

I think they are hitting the rev limiter because it sounds cool?

When they're introduced here the response is "curbs or hoover dam?"

Otherwise, we being in the nucular weapon business - "ooh! more targets?"

SUV commercials where they tear ass down gravel roads and through stream beds in the middle of nowhere without a care in the world.

I have driven off road my entire life - nothing Moab-esk, just trails and unimproved roads, trucks and motorcycles.

No one with a brain hauls ass on gravel roads...tires get shredded incredibly fast and unless you know the road, recently, you'll be in the weeds soon.

The creek bed/stream bed at speed shots are just suicidal for steering and suspension parts and you'll be wet.

There, I'm done.

^^^
It's ok to do the creek bed/stream speed stuff....if you have a snorkel on your SUV. :)

^^^ Actually you need a little speed to push the water to the sides. Keeps it from pushing into your engine bay.

Dammit! The snorkel factor!

Just two pet peeves:
People who complain.
Irony.

People who don't do their job.

And because of that......I/we have to do it......in addition to what I/we am/are already doing!

The attitude "I know more than you and I am always correct so YOU STFU".

"I can't wait till I get my tax return"

when what they mean is

"I can't wait to get my tax refund"

Like regulations that ban "mis-information" because they don't agree with it!

people that park their shopping cart in the store aisle so that they can talk on their cell phone about something they are supposed to buy.
The cart blocks all others.

Cats

I just move them. You should see the shocked looks.

They are oblivious to anything like that here...they just move over to the side and leave their cart in the aisle.

Plus the ones pushing their carts down the wrong side of a two-way aisle.
Are they from England???

QR codes

F- them.

I see a marketing opportunity here with a QR code t-shirt spelling out your thoughts which I agree with 100%

You met my sister I see.

I smile and say firmly its just like driving, get on your side of the road or get out of the way. They move and smile back.

My Asian friend wont put up with any of it. She will take your cart and boogie parking it three isles over.

This may have been said before. On two lane roads, drivers who are going the speed limit and then saunter through a yellow light (or we just miss the light), me having to stop at the light. I want to stick a megaphone in their face and suggest they drive faster.

Or advanced greens. They made it through so all is good to them.

But deep down you smile because you know the plastic impeller water pump will soon fail.

When the rev limiter kicks in or the valves float its time to change habits. I especially enjoy when seeing a 20 year old driver go from valve float to valve train scatter.

People who say "Nucular" or "relator"
People with Dual motor tesla or plaid doing 10 under the limit.
People walking dogs in the middle of the street and giving cars a stinkeye when they dare use the same road !
People.. yeah people..

I thought this day had passed years ago when the Indian guy was on TV commercial with a tear going down his face looking at liter/pollution. But I was wrong.

A few weeks ago I was heading out on a Friday night to get dinner. Sitting at a red light, car in front of me opens up drivers door and puts out a bag of trash right on the road. I honked, flashed lights, and gesticulated. No response. Then they just drove off.

Nothing is what it seems. Iron Eyes Cody was Italian.

People walking dogs in the middle of the street and the dog gives cars a stinkeye when they dare use the same road !

People.. yeah people. Yep!

Between the demands of the garden and the pool I mix a lot of chemicals. I wish they would use consistent measures.

If you are going to list the mixing ratios in oz, don't put your product in a clear plastic bottle that has ml markings on the side, and say "add 2 oz per gallon."

For dry measure - use volume, not weight. I don't keep a set of food scales in the barn.

And for God's sake print the mixing instructions big enough to be read with the naked eye.

Can't we just move to the metric system and get it over with?

Dumbazz drivers who stay in the left lane lollygagging along slower than the speed limit and hold up traffic flow!

Air blower hand dryers and the current “paper” towels at work. It is thin, gets soaked quickly while seeming to repel water, and is not recycleable.

That's gotta to be an LA thing. I encounter this behavior from pet owners at least a couple times a week. Some have no leash on the damn dogs. the owner dare to tell us to slow down or stop until they get past...in the middle of the street with the sidewalk right nest to them.

Car that pull up to gas pumps, sit inside yapping on their phone or texting with other waiting on them. When they are finally done, they come out and walk into the attendant and inside, cash.

The other is after gas is pumped, they sit in their car and who know WTF they do in there while others are waiting on them. Fook me man. Sick of these untitled folks.

I'm mildly annoyed with the following currently ubiquitous overdone misuses of the language:

Chuck goes out each and every Friday night. (Every is enough.)

Jack goes to the exact same restaurant every day. (Why do you need "exact"? You don't... same is same and you can't convince me it's for emphasis. Same is same.)

Where is Bob at? (It seems like "at" is the most incorrectly and overused preposition these days... just say "Where is Bob?" and you're good.)

They gave the tires to George and I. Say it without the "George" and you'll see why it's wrong. George and me is what you want... or even me and George.

This one isn't incorrect, it's just stupid: "It is what it is." It's for people who don't have anything important or meaningful to say, they just like to talk. Or maybe they decided they were tired of "that's the way the ball bounces" or "that's life" or "what goes around, comes around."

Where’s Bob at? My father would always reply “behind that at”!

Current peeve: I vacuum about every 3 years whether it needs it or not but those stupid plastic vacuum hoses that kink just by looking at them wrong are annoying. Can’t they make a decent one?
