The endless bumping on the 911 Parts for Sale / Wanted page here on Pelican.

Once again......idiots who have no clue how it works at a 4-way stop.

The person ON THE RIGHT has the right of way - unless you arrive at the intersection first.

It also pisses me off when idiots sit at a stop sign and **** around with their phone.

I am somewhat amazed this website still allows extensive and expensive off-topic web traffic which does not fit in many pure purchase business models.
It does retain a community.
If a few side ads support this I am glad for it.
(As an aside I'm also glad of that as a personal slinger of much OT/PARF sloth.)

The 'not-to-be-named-here-monopoly-search-engine' javascript does invoke some concern.
For my own privacy and for the company independence.

Not sure what that had to do with me being annoyed a the people who bump up their item for sale day after day after day sometimes even twice a day so they can stay on the front page. Or just make a new add for the same part after they bump the old one for a week.

Credit Card customer "service"
I waited over 1.5 hours two times last week to talk to someone. Never reached anyone.
Now on hold again for an hour again.
They obviously don't give a rip about helping the customer. God knows what would happen if I had to report a lost or stolen card.

Just happened a day ago....

I usually go kayaking at a remote reservoir. There are a couple of stops where one could park, chill out, do whatever... I stop at one of the most desirable spots and what do you know, 15 min later - three kayakers pull up and park within 10 feet of me with nobody around for miles! I literally said, wtf are you doing?... them : stupid look back. Fortunately I had my iPhone and Bluetooth speaker on board. I looked over at them and said ; I hope you like rage against the machine because you're about to hear a whole hell of a lot of it. They didn't even make it past the first song.

Stuff like this seems to happen to me a lot. My wife and I were at a empty beach in Florida years ago and a couple sat within spitting distance of us. I looked over at the guy and said; do you think we're swingers cause I really don't wanna fcku your wife. Fortunately , They got the hint too and left.

Helpful advice for the day : people all alone/away from chit want to keep it that way.

Great idea!

Going to try it out on these pinheads who are building a house behind me and putting their freaking swimming pool in about 20' from my back patio.

I have a very shallow backyard but you'd think the bamboo I planted would have sent the message to put their pool somewhere else.

Tomorrow I install those Yamaha outdoor speakers....;)

People waiting for an elevator, train, whatever, whom stand right in front of the opening doors when there is a 99.9% chance there are people behind those doors wanting to get out.

Or the person rushing to get in before others can get out.

People who don’t queue or cut queues. Sorry Italians, but your country drives me nuts

Tire nubs. I cant stand them doesnt matter if its a bicycle or a huge tractor tire I always pick them off.

Somewhere, there is always a Honda driving slowly in the fast lane.

Honda (Fit), Prius, RAV4, minivan...
They are all out to slow us down, but they don’t know it.

Bank of America is super responsive. Never put on hold, have to wait, no ridiculous telephone trees. Also get text notifications of suspicious activity which I can confirm or deny. Can go online to log travel dates./locations for trips (when we could do that) and get mileage.

Don't forget the people in grocery stores....or home depots, walmarts, etc.....

Like herds of wild animals.....milling about.......taking up space.....trying to slow us down merely by their existence......

In every single edition of Excellence Magazine at least once or twice.

"Literally" - some people cannot complete a sentence without it. "I literally thought I was going to die"...

And most of those people “literally” don’t know what it means; “I was so embarrassed that I literally died.”

Flip flops. Especially on guys in public
I don’t want to see some dudes gnarled up fungus incrusted toenails slap slapping down the aisles.
My uncle is 71 years old and wears them and has the nastiest toes. I won’t take him anywhere or go anywhere with him if he has them on.
Disgusting!

Phenomenon's not just confined to Excellence. I was flipping through Architectural Digest and about half the articles use that word, too. :roll eyes:

Atelier is the next soon-to-be-overused word. Wait 'til that word hits the car world.

People that won't wear personal protective mouth and nose masks or face shields.
As long as a small percent of people don't care, we are never going to get back to normal.

Governors who force a mask, are the same ones trying to unseat a President.
