Pet peeve thread?

[Dixie]

My pet peeve is cranky old people. Then I stop and wonder. Does complaining about them make me a cranky old person?

Or... it's like they learned to drive in a covered wagon pulled by a team of horses. And it's not just soccer moms.

Sunday night dinner rush hour at a place in Ypsi. An upper mid-range joint. Not cheap and usually very busy. This guy was mowing the lawn and spraying clippings on our shoes. Couldn't hear a conversation. After the second time he dragged the clattery mower between the tables, I made mention to glazed eye management. Oh. Yeah.

People who don’t turn their lights on when it rains and people who don’t use turn signals. They should not be allowed to vote…

Having to communicate to someone who is behind a thick pane of glass.......and there is a little space at the bottom to hand papers back and forth.

At the tag office today.

Other people talking loudly - because they are also trying to talk "over" a freaking pane of glass.

So that makes it even HARDER to hear the other person.

I have decent hearing...but this BS is maddening...because there's really no need.

The old building......it wasn't like that......

Progress.....

Sometimes it balances out.

Earlier in the day at Winn Dixie I was heading inside and noticed a lady in the parking lot finishing her loading - and she had the smaller sized cart, which I was going to use.

I made eye contact with her as she was turning towards the store to return the cart. Raised my hand and she shot the cart towards me and it came right to me straight as a freaking arrow!

Mankind finds a way sometimes......and she certainly held up her end of things.....I was impressed!

Pedestrians who leave the store with a cart and cross the approach roadway at an angle to reach their car...four lanes over.

Just go straight across and then turn your cart. Cars have to wait while they slowly take 30 yards to cross in front of them.
They are oblivious of the cars patiently waiting for them to clear the roadway.

I had this happen this afternoon at Menards and I could hear one of the other drivers shouting out his window.....and it wasn't "have a good day"

People who have animals who shouldn't.
Walking with my granddaughter and our Border Collie on a trail when we came across a couple with their pit bull ( or something like it) the one with the dog was holding it back by the collar as I got our dog by, but then it backed out of the collar and came for our dog. Our dog was smart enough to go for Plan B when she realized this idiot wasn't going to be friendly and got her throat and belly on the ground. I got its attention with a swift kick in the head while its owners scrambled over to grab the damned thing and get it under control. My granddaughter had sense enough to take a step back away from the fracus.
Basically it was a double jeprody of bad temperament and owners who didn't know how to train or control their animal.
No injuries to our dog. My granddaughter had never had an encounter with a dangerous dog before. We had a good discussion about safety and responsibilities on the rest of our walk and on our way home.

Hours later: Just had another long talk with my granddaughter. She was upset and crying because she thought the encounter with the dangerous dog was her fault because she had begged me to go on the walk on that trail. I finally convinced her that it was entirely the fault of the owners of the dog for buying the animal, failing to train it properly and not having equipment which would allow them control it.
She should be able to sleep now.

Best
