My (late) Aunt Bobbie. My (late) father's sister.

Her donation policy was to donate $5 when prompted to do so by the "right" people.

No less.....no more.

$5.

(of course....this was back when $5 went MUCH further than it does today!)

"Deluxe" mixed nuts that contain WAY too many almonds!

SLOW pokes on a 2 lane road. Then get to the intersection....turn right onto the 4 lane road.....and immediately go into the left (passing lane). For no reason.

You KNOW they are bad drivers because they are driving too slow. What they do next (left lane road hog) just confirms it.

And don't get me started with the turn signal thing! :rolleyes:

Ya, but we all know that is the fast lane and you will get there quicker no matter what speed you go. :D

In general....I support law enforcement.

But I'm tellin' ya......they are incapable of being of any help to correct poor drivers. Sure they can pull you over for speeding or disregarding a crossing walk. Give you a parking ticket.

But every day I see drivers on their phones. Or not paying attention. Or in complete disregard for traffic flow.

On FB just now an accident here......shocking.....:rolleyes:

And.....this is THE 4 lane road I mentioned earlier I was on this morning......

===========

Earlier today around 1:00 PM, Central Dispatch received a report of a reckless driver in the 7300 block of Turtlemound Rd. A VSO deputy located the vehicle and attempted to initiate a traffic stop near 3rd Ave/S. Peninsula Ave. At that point, the vehicle fled and accelerated at a high rate of speed toward the South Causeway bridge.

The deputy deactivated his emergency lights and lost visual contact with the vehicle as it crossed over the bridge. Shortly later, the vehicle crashed on the west side of the bridge near Magnolia Street.

A total of at least five vehicles were involved in the crash. As a result, two individuals, including the driver who fled, were transported to the hospital as trauma alerts. All others involved did not report any injuries. The bridge will be closed for an extended period of time as NSBPD conducts the crash investigation.

I'm sure this has been said already but I don't have time to review 54 pages of peeves.

My pet peeve "would you like to round up you change for xxxxx scholarship fund"? NO! I want to round down.

My pet peeves:

1) "would you like to round up you change for xxxxx scholarship fund"? NO! I want to round down.

2) Would you like to make a donation? Yes, I'll match whatever you donate - get your wallet out and I'll match what you donate.

3) Would you like to sell your house? Yes, I'll accept a $2mil all cash offer, otherwise stop bugging me.

4) Police cars that don't use their turn signals - set an example!

I go to Lowe’s quite frequently to pick up stuff, and at the self check outs, there’s like three items I have to click off skip or no, to pay. It’s frustrating!

brp914 03-31-2025 03:52 PM

You click on something for sale on Ebay. Initially, there's some info about the item, you scroll down some only to be confronted with info about other auctions, other similar things, then misc irrelevant crap and ads, then pages later finally, details of the item you were interested in to begin with.

The dumb arse who built a bookcase for the downstairs family room, which was too big to fit down the stairwell and had to be disassembled to go down.
Oh yeah. That was me.:rolleyes:

I dont know why but I get peeved whenever I see someone using a sawzall that isnt a milwaukee.

GH85Carrera 04-03-2025 05:25 AM

The very rural road near my house that I use to go south to get on I-35 often has no traffic at all at the three stop signs at every section line one mile apart. I was behind a guy that no only came to a stop, but waited 1s seconds to get going again. No traffic in sight as far as the eye can see, and he ios doing a 10 second count.

I understand coming to a full and complete stop, but there is no need to wait when there is no traffic at all except behind you, get moving!

Baz 04-23-2025 11:40 AM

Do something for someone and not even get a thank you.

Fark......they're on their own now......:rolleyes:

People driving with their dog in their lap and his head out the driver’s window…or did I already complain about that one.?

Entitled F'ers that pull up and park at the gas pump never buying any fuel of any sort. Happened again just now. Some jerk and his wife (who looked like a walking loaf of bread still in the pan-- IYKYK) blocked 2 pumps with his antennae festooned, flatbed converted, Scheiße-box "bear rig" for 20 minutes. Asshat.

Ever asked yourself why am I so angry all the time? Anger is a normal emotion everyone will experience at some point. Managing and learning how to calm down from anger effectively is crucial to maintaining healthy relationships and overall mental health well-being.
