Dumb. Sounds too forceful.

"Here's a clip" would be much better.......

Thank you, Dixie!

As for Pet Peeves: people who have to make everything into a drama exercise. So you got cut off in traffic. You're still alive and now you're annoying the heck out of me.

Touch bumpers. 20ft behind space and he/she lives across the street.

Today's pet peeve. When exiting the highway, slow down the exit ramp. Do not slow down to 35mph on the highway. The people behind you may not be exiting. Even if the are, they're not expecting you to be braking where you are. You, and a whole slew of people behind you, are going to be in a huge ass accident, and it'll be all your fault.

Expecting a non-tech-savvy 92 year old woman to be able to check in on-line before a doctors appointment. And then telling them they should have a child or grandchild do it for them. The doctors offices are making you do the data entry.

When people are trying to sell something that they recently restored and a majority of the pictures in the ad are from before they restored it. Like look how good it was before I ruined all the patina.

People who crowd the luggage conveyor belt at airports.......

Paul T 11-30-2025 12:19 PM

How about folks that chuck their carry on in the row 5 bin when they are seated in 35C? That also infuriates me….

It doesn't matter where a lot of people have the same destination and goal, even departing the plane. When I flew a couple times in the 80's they were doing it then. I'd just sit there while a few were in the aisle next to my seat going nowhere.

Yeah, the baggage carousel. A minor catastrophe if some missed their bag and had to wait a full minute for it to come around again. But I think a bit of it is preventing some idiot from grabbing your case thinking its theirs. You know, people really are stupid.

Lately I’ve noticed on more than one tv show. When the camera is facing two people driving in a vehicle, the column gear selector is in park.

Chefs on YT shorts/TTok making food wearing 9mil black pro mechanics gloves like a boss.

"Oh here is a non-stick pan with a highly toxic forever-chemical coating."
"Let me use it to stir fry. On high heat"
"And then scrape it vigorously with a f'ing metal spatula to add to the flavor".

The very concept of the word "News Feeds" in daily convention.

You're not my Mom. And never will be.
I'm not a helpless child.

Lately I can’t post pics on this site using my iPad

Idiots who try to get on the elevator, before the occupants get off.

Gigantic center consoles and huge tall back seats making an otherwise spacious interior into a cramped little cockpit.

How about a neighbor who abuses the privilege of use of my recycling bin?
