Pet peeve thread?

[TimT]

Someone at the gym left there crap all over one of the benches...The locker I was using was right in front of this bench.. so I cleared it off with my foot..No one was in the showers or bathroom.. Would you leave your crap laying around and go work out?

I felt like hiding his shoes.. but decided to not stoop to that level..

Packaging so resilient that plastic explosives won't get it open!

This always pisses me off, and I encountered it this morning at WalMart.
I'm in the self-checkout line along with half a dozen other people and there is some guy at the scanner yakking away on his phone, phone in one hand and scanning and bagging his purchases one handed, one item at a time, barely paying attention to what he's doing. Took him forever. There was lots of grumbling from the couple in front of me, they were pissed too.

Iv got a new one. People that come over and sit in the driveway and call on the phone to tell me they are here. Knock on the damn door!

At one of my accounts there's an elderly lady who lives across the street and 2 doors down. She has her own car and does drive because I've seen it.

But once in a while an elderly man pulls up in his car to take her somewhere. Just about every time a short period of time goes by and he honks his horn. Freaking hilarious!

Apparently he can't be bothered with calling - or knocking on the door. Or on her part - staying attentive to their schedule and his arrival.

Just blast away on that horn.......

Well I understand a honk if you are picking someone up. Id accept a honk aswell. Often times im in the back yard and wont hear the bell or a phone call. These are people that are dropping off or picking up stuff for repair or buying something off marketplace. Most customers are ok but a few new ones still need training.

Yeah but in your 1st post you implied a knock on the door is preferred. If you are in the backyard "and wont hear the bell or a phone call" how would you hear a knock on the door?

Not trying to give you a hard time about it but seems like both parties need to meet each other halfway for this to work, and why setting up all the details ahead of time is crucial.

When my motorcycle transports arrived - all 3 times I was out by the road to wave them in. I realize that's a bigger event than what you are describing but the process is the same, I think. No?

Drivers that do not get out of the way for the police, firetruck, or ambulance. I’ve seen all three behind a car with loud horns and sirens, and the driver just sits there. Blows my mind. 🤯

No one's doorbell is located on a steering wheel. So many lame people.

[A930Rocket]

People who try to squeeze through an intersection, but end up blocking the lane, thus creating gridlock.

[porsche930dude]

Maybe I just dont like to answer the phone lol It just strikes me as lazy. They are too lazy to get out of the car and ring the doorbell. Like people that drive to their mailbox to get the mail and their driveway is like 50ft long.

[Baz]

People who chew gum with their mouth open.

Especially when I see them on TV........yuk!

[Zeke]

Just gum?

Bad drivers.

Slow people.

I don't like police cars that don't use their blinkers. It seems to me that the police should set an example.

I don't like others that don't use them as well.

^^^ I was taking our 74 bug to the dealership for service one night. As I drove down a dark road, I saw a car pull out behind me. It had one headlight, so I figured it wasn’t a cop. I was wrong. He got me doing 42 in a 35 zone. First ticket.

On my way to Quest this morning to get my blood test in advance of next week's checkup......the truck in front of me was stalled - not moving. At the same time there was a fender bender in the right lane. This was at an intersection on a very busy 4 land divided road. I was going to try to get over to the right lane to get around the truck when all of a sudden an unmarked cop car does a u-turn right between me and the truck to get to the accident site. I took advantage of the maneuver and immediately got right on his tail to get over to the right lane. Worked like a charm and off I went! Was driving the Volvo so was very easy to do. Cop had his lights going too so everyone sorta froze....except for me....lol....

People who don’t respect my do-not-ring-door-bell sign stuck to the wall just above the door bell. I work from home and have court hearings and other work related meetings by video conference and can not have my dogs barking when the bell rings. A few weeks ago someone stole the sign. I replaced it. The UPS guy drops packages and rings bell anyway every time because he doesn’t approve of the sign I guess and yesterday a kid from Verizon rang it. I asked him why he rang the bell despite the sign and he gave me a nasty attitude and said I shouldn’t assume he could read and that I just missed a chance to win $10. My shotgun was sitting there and I was temped to blast his head right off but instead tried calling his employer to make a complaint but there is no possible way to get ahold of anyone to do that. The vast majority of people suck

While we're rubbishing incompetent & inconsiderate 'crap-can' driving - how about the dickwads in their jacked up 4-by's or suv's who feel the centre line is merely for decorative purposes only. These fools have absolutely have no dimensional perspective with respect to their vehicle footprint; ignore & cross said line thus forcing you to take evasive action - head for the curb, ditch, or flat out stop to avoid a possible collision. (End of rant)
