Pet Peeves?

Re: Pet Peeves?
Anyway..todays grumble. Cordless phones, more to the point, people who don't put them back in the base after using it, so you spend ages trying to find the bugger when it goes off....well ours, the ringer is on the base station not the handset, so you can't even listen out for it.
My local footie team, losing three on the bounce, two matches to the same club no less, at least one was only a crappy cup.
Kids games where you can't protect player profiles...my daughter has deleted her profile for a bunch of games now, made worse when the last time it was my Peggle one...grrrr....
People not looking where they are going in grocery shops, stopping randomly in front of you, or banging into your ankles with their trolly and not apologising for it.
People who sit right up against you on a bench, bug off there isn't room...gets creepy when someone else gets up and the person then doesn't move over.
I had more...but I'll rest for now...

Cyclists who don't understand that the California vehicle code requires vehicles to merge into the bike lane before making a right turn and yell at you for blocking "their" lane when you are stopped at a red light (a concept which appears to be completely unknown to them) while waiting to make a legal right turn.

Deli cut cheese, when it all sticks together and becomes one block....what was the point of that.
People who don't cut a block of cheese in a straight cut, so you end up with weird lumps and a big mess.
The big one...what smeg headed lump of foreskin thought that it would be a good idea to allow learner drivers on the interstate in MA? The drivers are shit enough without adding learners...even Maine had the good sense to not allow learners on the motorway.
Knobends.

We have a helluva problem in downtown Savannah with the SCAD students. The situation is that a majority of the cyclists are Asian, coming from countries where bikes ARE a popular and often necessary form of transport, however the rules of the road HERE don't seem to mean squat to them- wrong way on one way street, running lights and the list goes on......
Cyclists that contrary to traffic law, insist on riding against the flow of the traffic, rather than with it. They don't seem to understand that it's impossible to slow down to overtake them safely, when they're the ones closing the gap between you and them. Effing dipsticks.
It's little surprise that Florida is so high on the list of cyclist fatalities.

Dripping taps. The tap in our kitchen has been fixed lots of time, including replacing the taps etc, and it stays fixed for a few days and then starts dripping again.

People that say things like, "Smile, it's not so bad." Seriously, I will stab you and then we'll revisit just how bad it is.
Oh, and combined names like JoePa or JLo or couple names like Brangelina. STOP IT. It's not big and it's not clever. Are people really so hard put to type out a whole entire name? Good grief.

People who buy a car with a 'Sport' or 'S' trim level and then proceed to drive 5 mph below the speed limit. Bastards.
The twonk this morning in a Prius with the number plate 'LESGAS 1'. Smug bastard, but thank **** I got around him, he was worse than the other one I got stuck behind - he'd amassed a queue of about 15 cars quite a bit behind me after the merge on Rt.12. Of course you use less gas when you drive like a bloody pussy ...
Not a good idea to sit up all night playing Formula 1 on the computer when you have to drive to work the next morning

A driver with the number plate 'RESPEC' who just pulls out of a parking slot into main traffic and does not even look - just downright rude and annoying - especially with that number plate

Men who use the urinal right next to you when there are many that are free and not next to anyone. I can't tell if they have no concept of personal space or if they are trying to peek at my man-parts.

Re: Pet Peeves?
I've long since given up on the idea of my personal space being respected in the bogs and I just piss in a cubicle now.

And for todays peeve....the girls being just slightly out of seasonal sync...getting old Bobette v1's old 9-12 month clothes out, being a spring baby, most of her spring/summer stuff fitted Bobette v2 a winter baby...unfortunately, winter clothes for the most don't fit, either too tall, potato head to big, or thunder thighs get in the way because of all the porking up she's being forced into.
