I used to say that as soon as I got the back of the 911 clean, the front was already dirty again. But if I was fast enough to get the whole car clean at once, it looked great!
I'll never own another black car.


I now have white Toyota SUV, my wife has a white Toyota SUV, my son has a white Toyota SUV (in my name), and my daughter has a white lexus. She hadta be different.

Note that none of these cars have ever needed any maintenance beyond scheduled routine. No breakdowns, no repairs (except replacing a couple tires from road debris). And the cars all look as good as when they were new.

I love white Toyotas.

Ya know, 'bout half the time that is done on porpoise? Irregardless

[recycled sixtie]

People that don't pick up after their dog.

[DonDavis]

DBs that stand 18" behind people in line.

And my white Subie OBW looks clean almost all the time. Even after I take it off road a bit, the mud makes it look like it's flashing a devilish grin.

Btw, this is the first white car I've ever owned.
Was never of fan of white cars, but here I am...happily.

People who drive 40 to 45 for miles on a curved two lane road with a double yellow with 15+ cars stacked behind them with no safe place to pass. I am a pretty calm person but they make me boarderline homicidal.

People who don’t leash dogs with behavioral issues on public trails. After my dog was bitten by a Dobi, carried mace and blasted a pit coming after my dog the following week. Stopped the Pit in its tracks, but come on people.

[astrochex]

“Its all good.”

I hate this saying.

[Por_sha911]

OK
Its all bad.

There. Are you happy?

[Hawkeye's-911T]

OK! In keeping with the current trend... It is what it is

They we in such a big hurry they did not have time to stop, but then go through the intersection like it is covered in ice or snow. I am forced to sit and wait for them to mosey along through the intersection.

How about the pricks that start pulling away from their stop about 1.5 seconds before you go past at 60mph. WTF? You saved 1.5 seconds...congratulations!!

Or those who drive 55mph on a two lane highway only to floor it when the road opens up into 3 lanes (one of the 3 is oncoming) or just as irritating, stay at 55 and move into the center of the 3.

Lastly, black Amish buggies with no lighting, at night.

[RSBob]

Those black Amish buggies with no lights drive me nutz here

AND people talking loudly or steaming videos on mobile phones in restaurants.

AND clue less _____________ (use your favorite swear word or two) not taking this COVID-19 thing seriously

[Por_sha911]

The blood sucking leeches called the "news media" who cash in on very tragedy or crisis by broadcasting doom gloom and fear 24/7. Then we wonder why people freak out and panic.

We are supposed to be wise in dealing with the current crisis but we are not supposed to have a spirit of fear but of power, love, and a sound mind.

[Otter74]

People who call the Latin American country "Columbia"

[stevej37]

^^^ wow...that narrows it down quite a bit!
I prob would be guilty of that also...didn't keep up well in geog class

[stevej37]

People who don't include their location under their user name.
"the weather here is great".....where tf is 'here'?

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.

[Por_sha911]

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?

[Baz]

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......

[g_vaxed]

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.
