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.

I went to a website today to look for a new office chair. I couldn't even look at what they offer until I gave them my name, email address and phone #. Really?

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?

911 Rod 04-09-2020 05:16 AM

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?

URY914 04-09-2020 05:56 AM

People who call me and say, "Did you see my email?"

Everyday people send us files to print and phone while they are hitting send!
