People who painted over door hardware, especially in older houses. My 80 year old cottage has brass hardware and I have spent days removing multiple coats of paint. Once I get the parts removed from the doors I cook them in hot water for a few hours and most of the paint comes off easily.

Drivers who react to every stimulus by braking.
Drivers who use the brake pedal instead of the button to cancel cruise control. Drivers who don't use entrance ramps to accelerate. Drivers, period. People. |
This happens to me at least weekly when approaching the stop sign before entering a two lane state highway... some moron/s cut across the stop line I am about to stop at forcing me to slam on the brakes to avoid hitting them. Worse yet, their left turn to where I am approaching has no visibility of cars approaching the stop which any person with one functioning brain cell would figure out they should go around the stop line just in case.

Drivers entering a freeway on the on-ramp and not matching the speed of the traffic flow. They expect the driver(s) in the far right lane to slow down to let them in. This creates an accordion effect and, at worst, bumper-to-bumper traffic in the right lane. Speed UP!

the women that have to swing left to turn right........you're not driving a semi.........
self-appointed speed police.........if you don't want to do the speed limit, pull over....... stopping 300 feet away for the railroad crossing.........the train isn't going to jump off and hit you 5 car lengths away........... outracing the motorcycles to a red light..........yes they're old bikes, but is it really that important..... |

So I waited until the 5:00 PM rush hour to teach her how to do it in her car. Apply the loud pedal, and get as much speed as possible to match traffic speed. I did it with no issues 5 times in a row. So she tried it. Amazing enough, when going traffic speed it is easy to merge in. When a long 18 wheeler was coming, tap the brakes, and slow enough to pull in behind it. She finally learned, and a month later mentioned she no long feared getting on the interstate. |

To me they are all crap ads....no matter the content.....:D |
I haven't read through all 40 pages, but here's mine -
Landscapers who insist on backpack-blowing all the debris from the STREET over to my property, driveway, and cars. Do they get paid extra to detail the pavement after they do the grounds ? Sorry, it pisses me off and I don't understand it. Bill K |

My new pet peeve is the other HOA - doing landscaping on the park 4 days out of the week. Monday through Thursday, like clockwork, 9:00 through 12:30. Makes it very frustrating to work at home and try to take calls. Drives my allergies nuts too. |
On a two lane road.
Service vehicle parked blocking road up ahead. Oncoming vehicle stops - you know - because they want you to get around the service vehicle. The problem is......the service vehicle is not blocking them. They do not need to stop. They need to keep going. So I can get around the service vehicle. This is normally when my arm is out the window motioning them (with much vigor) to proceed. But unfortunately, there's a vehicle ahead of me who just sits there. So we have everyone stopped. No vehicles moving. Idiots... |
Thinking about the blower thing moving debris out in the street, it happens to me when driving past. Once in awhile a gardener will see me and direct the blower away. Most are unaware because of the noise and indeed can walk out in front of your car.
But thinking, I should carry a battery blower with me and get out and blow right back at them. |
Coupons that expire a week later.

Just today. I had "someone" (Not reveling who it was for fear of sleeping in the basement for a long, long time) helping me navigate to a place we'd never been before. I'm driving, watching the road, and she says, "OK, turn that way." Like I've been watching for hand signals from her. The best one was when we came to a tee intersection and she said, "OK, turn here."

On a windy two lane road in the country with blind corners, people who drive the center of the road into the corners, forcing the opposing oncoming car to take an evasive action.
This happens on the road up to my road, so I bought 2 cans of white pavement marking paint and laid down center lines on the corners. Reduced incidents by 75% and received many thank yous while defacing county property. |

I love it when fine upstanding neighbors have several huge nasty oil stains on their concrete driveway from the junk crap cars they accumulate and are too lazy to clean them up EVER.
They're usually accompanied by even more oil stains on the street in front of their house and dead brown grass instead of yard. Does wonders for property values. |
Let me get this right, there is a guy here on a Porsche forum complaining about other people's oil stains? :eek:
