Re: Pet Peeves?
 

People facebooking when they're at work, that peeves me too.
People talking loud on their mobiles.
People asking if I'm Australian.
People at the checkout in a supermarket or shop, who ask "can I just cut in front of you.. I only have this and I'm in a hurry".. answer, I'm in a hurry too, in case you care.
People who mumble to you while their back is turned and wonder why you have to ask them to repeat everything. No, I don't have Superman's hearing.
Fox News.
Oprah Winfrey. Doctor Phil, and all those other clowns.
TV judges.
Biggotry.. it's alive and well in Florida.
Using being "born and raised in the south" as an excuse for biggotry, and racism.
Ignorance of foreign affairs.

There's plenty more.

You, of course, are the best driver on the road? ;) Aren't we all? :D

Good one. I hate their livers and intestines.

For about 6 years I have been inviting a Brit friend of ours over for a curry, maybe every 6 weeks or so. He says I make the best lamb bhuna this side of the Hudson, which is flattering. However on the way out of the door he thanks my husband for having a wife who can make a proper curry. I know this remark is supposed to be funny, ironic, but......next bloody time I will put laxative in his lamb bleeding bhuna and hope he has run out of loo paper.

Slugs.
Wasps.
Chelsea supporters.
Depressed alcoholics.

I bet if they'd a nice arse you'd let them in.

Inside towns, built up areas and school zones I am an exemplary driver - I don't want to run over someone's child, dog, cat, granny or whoever. Other than that my only real bad habits are speeding on back roads and a tendency to swear out my window at people who stop at the first non-disabled space in a car park and wait there blocking the whole aisle while some old lady tries to put 300 bags in the boot of her Geo Metro (or other car with a tiny boot).

Cyclists on a walking/cycling path that don't have a bell or other device to warn that they are coming from behind you. If the dog darts in front of them and tips them off, sorry, didn't hear you coming. Some cyclists do say "on the left" which is helpful.

Re: Pet Peeves?
 

People who start threads about which chuffing queue they stand in at the airport when there's been eighty three other threads about the exact same thing started in the last twenty minutes FFS.

Re: Pet Peeves?
 

People who only post when they want something...then bugger off until the next time.

Re: Pet Peeves?
 

Cyclists on the chuffing pavement instead of the road.

Cyclists cycling two chuffing abreast down the road oblivious to the cars behind them.

The child-safety-obsessed in our town who insist on having a geriatric crossing guard on every chuffing corner and having school buses pick up every child individually off their own doorstep yet have no problems with their kids using a public road as a chuffing playground with their skateboards and shit.

Well it's ok for you - you can just delete them.

Re: Pet Peeves?
 

That sounds like my son . . .

Re: Pet Peeves?
 

I had to think about that... the answer's still "no". If I have a lot of stuff at the supermarket, and I see the person behind me has 2 items, I'll often offer them to go in front of me. Of course that's backfired when they accept, and then proceed to wait until the cashier tells them the amount before they wade through their pockets for change, or worse produce a chequebook, and handwrite a cheque out which takes them forever. If I don't offer, you're not getting in front. ;)

We're all better drivers than anyone else. ;)

Re: Pet Peeves?
 

Sorry about that. :D

Re: Pet Peeves?
 

And, more to the point, you'd have to let them in before you could judge the quality of their arse. Maybe you could let them in conditionally with some sort of get-out clause.
