Pet peeve thread?

[Baz]

For the umptenth time....freaking smokers!

Why do they always hang around in public places and weed?

How about going somewhere where there aren't other people around before lighting up that stinky nasty smelly freaking cig!

I come out last night with groceries to find some woman standing right next to my truck smoking a cig. I had (as I always do) purposely parked way away from other cars far from the store, thinking I'd be safe. Oh no......they always make their freaking way to you like a freaking magnet.

So I roll my shopping cart about 50' away - further away from the store - and then go back for my truck so I can load my groceries with catching lung cancer. As I'm getting in my truck - she lights up another one. Yup....freaking chain smoker. Then some other dude who parked right in front of me one space over gets out of his truck and starts lighting up. As I'm loading my groceries, there they both are. Standing in the parking lot puffing on their stinky cigs......no regard for anyone else.

How about when you get to the store, you get out and go inside and do what you came there for. And when done, come out get in your vehicle and leave - like normal people do.

First pandemics. Then the election. Now Christmas music. Not just any Christmas music, a new, more virulent strain which sounds like the singers are being held at gunpoint to produce anything, or else be shot.



Show that special someone you love them. TEXT them a merry christmas:

Snow flakes, globalism, loosing everything, fools driving round with no licence plates not getting nailed, i get nailed going 8mph over a day earlier, and yet a day later 2 cars with no licence plates on the front or back, and no dealer tag. Luck of the Irish. Broads trying to pick me up, and then later they want a father to take care of their kids. liberal everything. all peeves...

People that wear a Superman shirt and are not in shape.
People that have a Superman tattoo and are not in shape.
People who eat lunch in their car, in the employee parking lot.

Commuters who tailgate me 2 car lengths back, on the way to work with their bright lights in my mirrors, (I'm doing 62 in a 55 zone). The very next day I follow the same pickup truck at a proper distance, but only doing 54 mph in the same stretch of county road.

Seat belts that don't recoil out of the way properly.

Tim Horton's take out cups where the covers leak all over you and your seats.

The gutter company ad on TV, that's going to fix your gutters and lifetime warranty. "Leaf Filter Co " Hate that ad, makes men and their wives
look stupid.

I hear ya....it's unreal that they feel they have to eat.

Car commercials that show SUV's zipping down gravel roads/trails like they are on I-95.

No one with an experience off road does that.

Get ON my lawn!

Actually, if you look closely, those vehicles going down muddy or dusty roads have no dirt on them when they come to a stop! Amazing technology that keeps the car showroom clean. It is a know fact that a lot of commercials are done with CGI (cars doing all kinds of maneuvers indoors or around each other). They have a basic rig with the car's wheels and then CGI puts the car on top.

^^^ That is so cool!

Tin Foil Hat Alert:
It makes you wonder if the video you see on the evening news is CGI or not...
(no I don't believe it has been done yet)

No kidding. Thanks Por_sha!

We could all use a little CGI...at least I do.

They can eat somewhere else... real tacky to do that every single day.

I'll throw in another bonus one...

These a$$hats that absolutely have to back in to a spot so they can make a quick forward exit. I watched these idiots going in/out until they're perfectly aligned for seemingly forever. Enlighten me... do these people have a phobia about about backing out...? Yet, waste time backing into a spot anyway? Only time I give a pass on this is a Fire Dept truck or vehicle.

How about someone with a full size Silverado extended cab 8' long bed?

Think it's easier pulling out of a parking spot while backing out? From personal experience I can tell you it's not.

When I back into a space, I know what's behind me as I'm backing up. When I back out of a parking space....and into traffic.....I don't have the same field of view.

And this doesn't even include situations when I have stuff in my bed that is so high it impedes my view. Like plants for example.

I hope this provides a little "perspective" on the situation....no pun intended.

Ok, you get a pass... maybe that's why people choose to have a cigarette near your truck all the time... .... for the record, most offenders I see are driving passenger cars.

Those smokers.....same exact thing happened this past week, except this time they weren't parked next to me, thank the Lord. But this man and woman are standing next to their vehicle in the parking lot just puffing away. Grocery cart loaded and just sitting there. Puff puff puff.......

I don't know how anyone can cut a pie or cake without making a radial cut from the exact center to the outside (in the case of round cakes). When I see pizza or anything else cut off center I think 'what an idiot'.
