People that signal to change lanes in slow traffic and then keep pace with the car beside them.
Or people that keep pace with busses.

Truck and SUV TV commercials.

People who have no concept of how to enter a highway. Learn to merge, darn it!

The giant grills on the Toyota and Lexus products, specifically 4Runner or Lexus GX, is holding me back from buying a new one. We have had great luck and great experience with our 2008 4Runner since new but it's getting a little long of tooth and time for someone else to be the caretaker. I think the designs of the fronts of these trucks is hideous and I just can't bring myself to get into one of these giant vacuum cleaners.

And now they regularly show the driver gleefully taking their hands off the wheel at speed. :mad:

Extreme volume variations when transitioning from commercial then back to the program or from program out to commercial. I fall asleep with tv using sleep timer and this is getting out of hand. Anytime of day it is unacceptable…I’ve switched cable providers over this and it never goes away. Fox is the worst culprit. Been going on for at least 5 years and it’s made me a mental case :-)

I have a few pet peeves about proper English…

Just one of the reasons I'll never buy a newer truck. I love everything about my '02 Silverado's conservative appearance.

Now that's a beautiful truck right there! :)

TV Networks who use "Breaking News" to preface every single news segment they do 24-7......most of the time regarding events that happened DAYS and WEEKS ago! :rolleyes:

Go to the bank today to cash some checks.

Been doing this for years.

Endorse the back and I always write my account number on one of the checks.

They all know me.

In fact, I always toss a handful of Atomic Fireballs in with the checks - they get a kick out of that and I know they never get anything like that from other bank customers. I never get asked for my ID - because they all know me.

Today - they say they need to send me a text. OK - I get out my phone. No text. They ask for my number - which I give them over the speaker phone (so everyone else can hear it). I'm in the drive-in. Then I get a message I do not understand at all. I thought I would get a code. But what they want is my debit card PIN. I tell them I don't use my debit card (which I don't) and don't remember the PIN. They tell me OK we will have to bypass it.

I get my cash plus a pile of red lollipops and am on my way.

The slogan of the bank?

In any forum, when people quote entire large posts, often picture laden. The response may only be a few words.

Why can’t people be concise in their reference?

Yes and there are a few here who routinely do that.

While others know how to snip properly.

It's a form of forum etiquette, actually.....and the way I was trained.

Thanks, Paul!

What are we, Rabbis? :D

I know there are some I'd like to snip further back!

And even worse, it is some gross photo posted over and over!

In the same vein, someone who needlessly “reply’s all” to an email. To wit: the guy sends out the email to 40 guys, “who wants to play Tuesday?” I don’t care if you’re playing or not…don’t clog up my email with your response, please. Pretty petty, huh? Life is tough.

I'm the opposite and wonder why they don't reply to all. Now the person has to reply to all 40 guys individually with "what time?'

People who get large carts and walk 0.001 mph down the center of the aisle at costco. It's not like they pull to the side to check something out. No, they have to s-l-o-w-l-y walk down the center of the aisle, apparently experiencing sensory overload at the sight of it all, having a Mad Mag/Don Martin-like spazz-out. Look, just get in, get yer stuff and get out!
