Re: Pet Peeves?
I made a tongue in cheek post on my town's FB page one time, when it was foggy out and I was pissed off that nobody had their headlights on, let alone their fog lights. I put an image of the fog light symbol and explained how and when to turn them on.
Many people actually thanked me for sharing and said they hadn't previously known what that was for.

Whereas down in deepest darkest Florida there is a tendency to switch their fogs on when they buy the vehicle and leave them on till the day they wreck/sell it. My brother-in-law couldn't understand why I wanted to know where the switch was located when I bought my Ford from him. ....

Fog lights here in BC appear to most just to be extra head lights, it's rarely foggy yet you see fog lights all the time.
For the amount of rain we get, do wish people would turn their head lights on, day time running light don't cut it in heavy rain nor light the back of your car making your car difficult to see.
Our car has no fog lights and haven't had one that did.

Pet peeve: quarts. The most ridiculously and inappropriately used measurement. Nearly always used where pints or ounces would make far more sense.

Took it in for service and told them I had put nearly a gallon of oil in over the last couple of months.
His response: "What? 4 quarts?"
Me: "No. A gallon!"

The only time I ever hear anyone use quarts is when it comes to car oil. Can't recall ever using or hearing quarts used for anything else.

Recipes typically use quarts for anything larger than a couple of cups. One of my jugs only has markings on it for quarts - actually it is marked every half-quart!
