Its not just the people digging for change. How about this.... there are 6 people in line, you're one of them, maybe it would be polite to actually have an idea where you funds or card is before its your turn at the register.

I get my coffee at the local Wawa (east coast convenience store, very popular and well run). Its infuriating when people wait in a deep line and after they finially get up their then have to search forever to find their method of payment. Seriously you had all the time waiting on line to locate your wallet/purse. WTF people?

Also, it gets my goat when I see people buying junk food, expensive prepared food or tobacco products with their state assistance card. If you're taking money from the state thats your business, but when you're blowing it on bags of chips, and other garbage or paying high prices for prepared foods, or worse buying tobacco (when you're technically not allowed to) then maybe you don't really need that assistance?

Most people who do their shopping at convenience stores are the same people who will rent their entire life and never own their own home. It's a mind set. Many of them are also smokers. Again - the mind set differs from those who effect due diligence in managing their lifestyles.

Of course (and specifically as it pertains to this thread) many folks are not very structured, as it relates to things that interface with those who are....and thus negatively affect others around them.

What about those who wait in line fiddling with their phone/talking story, then look at the menu to decide what to order...when they get to the front.

My favorite saying, and I say it ALOT: "People are idiots."

I can honestly say that most every thing posted here annoys me, too. I am not perfect by any stretch but I try really hard NOT to be the person that has no clue anyone else exists.

Efin tools made in China.....pieces of garbage.

As the Chinese would say - you pay less, you get less - it's a fair deal.
I would add that the Chinese are very capable of making whatever quality of item specified. People go to Harbor Freight and buy a tool that should be $35 for $10 and then complain it is not as good as the Snap-On version. The tool worked for the 1 time per year needed. Quit crying about super cheap tools that are not as good as the best out there.

Mostly, they JUST figured out how to make decent ballpoint pen.

Some of my best friends are people.

Costco Stores in the SF Bay Area (warning, PC filters are OFF, get over it.)
SOLVED! these offenders will go WAY out of their way to avoid caucasian oldfarts in surgical mask.
- pushing carts on the wrong side of the aisles, against predominant traffic flow. (did you drive in the left lane to get here? )
- entire clans elbowing/cutting in line for multiple free samples of processed food. Gridlocking the aisle completely.
- spittle-infused open mouthed coughing, an arms length away from me. (another reason to wear a mask)
- invasion of personal space while in checkout line. If I can feel your stinky ass breath on my neck, you're too close, BACK OFF !

and don't get me started on Costco Gas lines . . .

The tool that is a piece of s--t is a name brand. Porter Cable. It's a multi tool that I bought years ago. It crapped out on a job I was working on. I went out and bought a Bosch. It's been a workhorse. I fixed the porter cable as it had bad solder joints and kept it at home for a spare. I went to Reno to work on one of my rentals and took the Porter Cable with me. Yep, when I really needed it,it stopped working. Made in China. Wasted money.

Posts of non-hotties in the chest thread. C'mon! :)

My favorite saying is .... "its their world we just live in it"

Usually when I see one of the Main Line Mom's in her $100k suv who is too busy to use a turn signal or too busy to wait in the school drop off line so she barrels up the side and slams her SUV in the line with the phone glued to her ear and she's late for her nail appointment or tennis lesson.

Nose pickers, hoarders, slobs, bmw drivers;), fast food, any insurance company, hipsters, stop lights that take an eternity "some folks don't know there are magnets under the road that can speed up the waiting process";) bad breath!:eek:bro or missy, grab some tic-tac's and let it marinade in your mouth!

I spent the weekend at the Rolex 24. Does every douche have a little towing eye on their bumper now? It not just the Honda/Toyota kids anymore. I saw them on P-cars and Vettes. :rolleyes:

I witness this more often than just now & then.
Rush hour traffic, a long right lane line in traffic, blinkers 'a blinkin', red light turns green, 10 - 15 cars in line waiting to turn right. One of the front cars decides to let in line a car from a parking lot on the right.
So an entire multitude of those behind this kind and generous driver must wait until the car on the right enters the line...and those in the back won't make it to the green right turn light.

And yep, the kind and generous driver is usually a woman...priding herself on being a good Samaritan. Jeeze!!! :mad:

I rarely go to the local donut shop for coffee anymore, and one of the reasons is a pet peeve:

Some people like allot of sugar in their coffee.
i don't, but I understand that people from other places have different tastes.
So they pour and pour and pour for 30 seconds, then stir their sugar-soup for another 30 seconds, and then take a sip.

Then they pour some more sugar in, stir for another 15 seconds, and sip.

I get that is is an ethnic thing. It has to be, I've observed many examples and the pattern is unmistakable.
But couldn't they do it somewhere else than right in front of me in line?
Like maybe a little further south?

One of my pet peeves revolves around this, when the need arises to pull a car a short distance, or winch it onto a car dolly, or even get it unstuck in the snow, there is NOTHING solid underneath to hook a tow strap to on most newer cars.

I have entertained the thought of mounting a tow loop on most of my cars.

These are the silly little toys I'm talking about.....

I know you already know this Paul.....my 914 has one built in - like a loop of steel sorta...under the front valence smack dab in the center as part of the chassis.....don't ask me how I know!

One pet peeve, my 85 911 does not have a place for one of those like the 914 has. Easily removable but sturdy.

Those who insist on talking on speaker phone.
.
And then those who always have to be reminded to speak into the mic instead of letting the phone fall to their shoulder.

Ordering food from a fast food menu marquee outside, and having to repeat my order, many times, soggy French fries. Having swamp butt after eating at Taco Bell, I love the taste, but I have to pay for it in the end!. Going to Taco Bueno, to order a dish of nachos only to have the cashier hand me a unwrapped spork? Hoodies. Man hair buns. walking into any store and being hassled when clearly I'm browsing. I don't want no hassle in your castle. People with no sense of humor. Gloom and doom people. Did I mention BMW drivers cutting me off on left turn arrows? People who dye their hair un-natural colors. Hearing the musac playing weird music, and I mean weird music while I try to shop. Strange women hitting on me, c'mon ladies, I'm being friendly, I don't want a relationship, nothing is happening here gals. Argh!:cool: Arthritus, forgetting how to spell. LOL!;)http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1485874181.jpg

People who always call on their ****ty bluetooth phone from their car. Excuse me, but call me back when you're not doing something else. People who say "walla". An apostrophe "S" is not plural. If you're in the front of the turn lane, as in the very first person, do not pull out your phone and start texting with people. People who can never agree, and just have to re-phrase what I just frikken finished saying but with different words. Stupid people who have to repeat what I just said verbatim, as if their idiot brain needs time for what I said to sink in. Hippies. Stoners. Moochers. Negative or arrogant people. I find that for all of these things, my way of dealing with them are either to put distance between them and me, or to use humor to distract myself from their stank aura of ineptitude. Oh, and I almost forgot. People who call their car a "build". Build is a god damn verb, not a noun. And now you sound like a reality TV show douchebag host, but more pathetic because it shows that you need to glom onto other people's drama because you think it make you glamorous or with it.

Selfish people who take stinginess to an ugly state.
Ever notice that selfish people give you only token attention - the psych community politely refers to that as "being economical".

We have one self important attorney client that calls on his speaker phone, and then walks all around his office. I finally just put him on my speaker phone and backed up 10 feet. He picked up and so did I. Bingo, we can communicate normally now. Amazing.

I agree, that one is weirdly annoying.

SO......I shouldn't do that ?

Tailgaters are my biggest pet peeves, they usually have the blue tint headlights that burn through the back of my head, or completely blind me from my mirrors. On an older car I recently had, I could position the driver's side mirror to reflect their headlights back into their eyes.....it's amazing how quick they back off, and remain at a reasonable distance.

Or they answer every question by saying "Well,.....

People that speak for/support Islam or Islamism and have no idea what the Qu'ran/Hadith/Sira or Sharia have in written word.

Yes!!!

Women who don't put the seat back up after using the toilet. That just steams my clams!

Woah! My FIL and my BIL does that. I HATE it!
They sit around the table when calling us. The result is that we cannot hear them and they cannot understand us.

Another thing is IP-phone. The call echoes, gets interrupted, has delays.

As of lately the color orange. Holly weird actors pushing their beliefs on hard working Americans, weekend tv lineups, I have 2000 or so channels and not a dang thing to watch! Who does those channel line ups, first 100 channels info commercial channels included, second 100 channels, the same info commercial channels included, third 100 channels, and the same dang infomercial channels included, all the way up to the top. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1485961891.jpg

OH oh oh, pet peeve:

A thread is started "who do you like in the superbowl"...... people who don't watch football or don't know who's playing or don't care at all about the superbowl at all reply and let us know that.

I'm sure sometime in the past I'm prolly guilty of it also.

Why? Must be human nature.

Agreed. Especially trolls with multiple log-in IDs who start fictitious threads that are nothing but PARF-bait.

LOL, you are partly right in that I have no respect for you.

I'be been unemployed for a total of 12 days since I was 17 and today isn't one of em. Where did you dream up that lie?

Oh that right, it's slakjaw. never mind. :rolleyes:

IDK why so many women feel they have to "take charge" and act like a little man.

My guess is that their men act like little women.

My Pet Peeve is being chastised for saying I don't care about football in the Super Bowl thread. I did it just to stir up trouble. SmileWavy

Yeah ladies, how about a little consideration!

I don't know if these have been mentioned yet:

Elevator etiquette, You are on the elevator and get to your floor... the door opens... and there are people standing in the doorway with that 'deer in the headlights' look blocking you from exiting the elevator.

And escalator etiquette, people who get off the escalator... take two steps then stop to look around... as if they are the only people riding the escalator.

I know right ? I told my wife that I have to make sure the seat is down every time when I have a major transaction, why shouldn't she do this as well ?
