Re: Pet Peeves?
When you're about to pull out of a parking spot and do a drive through as the spot in front is empty...and then some arsewad drives into it.
People who drive the wrong way around a one way entrance because it's a quick way to get to the parking at the McD's, rather than driving around the building to get to that side...I've almost had a head on crash twice at that place....muppets.
How soft I've gotten...I actually found it a bit nippy unloading the kids from the car last night up at the folks place, was down to 10F...saying that, it was almost 40 3.5hrs earlier down in Mass.

I can go one better than that. The mother of my best friend at school was a nurse and knew all about the autism study before it went crazy in the media. So she prevented him from getting the MMR because of it. He was 15 at the time.
That's fantastic.

CRAPPY AMERICAN LIGHT BULBS.
Traditional old-fashioned light bulbs. The actual bulb, the glass bit, just falls out. You are left with the stupid screw in metal bit, how the heck are you supposed to extract it? It's been dark in my bathroom for six weeks now.

Turn off light and possibly power and use tweezers or grips.

Now, if the kid comes down with a case of mumps bad enough to sterilize him, that could be the end of that family line. Maybe that particular gene pool needs shrinking? :-/

Lack of critical thinking skills - especially in the 'Millennial Generation'....

Re: Pet Peeves?
Guests for Xmas lunch - who didn't turn up, and didn't phone to let us know they couldn't come... f@ckwit. Not feeling at all Christian about it...
... the main culprit is US born & bred, made a lot about how excited to experience a Brit Xmas day etc - so we went to great lengths... arse biscuit...
Oh - and fridges designed by people who NEVER use fridges - mentalist arse wipes... even worse when the fridge is the size of Wales...
