biggest pet peeves.

[bill]

someone who asks for your advice then does the exact opposite then bitches about it when it fails.......
especially when it is something you have vast knowledge on.
i dont know how many friendships through the years this one thing has killed,but for me it has been several.

Here's one of my biggies: drivers who park next to me in parking lots, no matter how remote a location I park in (to keep my car from getting door dings) or how few (if any) cars are there when I pull in. I've actually conducted experiments. No matter how far way from stores (or events or church or offices) I park, when I come out, someone will have parked next to me. Happens every time. People are sheep!

i am so peeved at my pet peeve :annoyed:

southeast florida has tons of big bad violent crimes --at nite -and in several areas-

yet --3 police cruisers surrounded my kid --
recently --and gave him a $$ ticket for having no light on his bicylce !!!

then - 2 of the cruisers - escorted him home

----------------------------------------------

that useless crap happens so often

 

[MONOLITHIC]

Sounds like those cops don't have their priorities straight.

I doubt that would ever happen here in Philly , but these days, you never know...

 

[redbenjoe]

mono --
i also doubt if you philly police would bother chasing around a bunch
a teen skateboarders
but -down here -
its always :annoyed:

 

[MONOLITHIC]

The only places in Philly where I ever heard about them cracking down on skateboarders is Love Park and City Hall - and they've probably lifted the ban on Love Park. To me, as long as those kids aren't damaging property or hurting anybody else, I don't see what the big deal is. Let those kids be kids!

It almost sounds like the police down there would give you a ticket if they caught you jaywalking!

none that i can really think of right now but i have a few...

Paying 1.09 for a candy bar from local gas station, not a jumbo but reg. size Snickers!!! They're crazy, but good way to lose weight.

Call me perfectionist but:

Hygiene
- When my wifey squeezes the Toothpaste in the middle and leaves it like that.
- Using a Q-tip and when I pull it out realize the cotton is still in my ear! (don't make them like they use to).
- Staining my dark T-shirts on the sides with the white bar deodorant I just put on.
- Washing my hands at a McDonald's after taking a leak and having to open the greasy doorknob of the bathroom.

Technology
- I really hate it when you have various Pen Drives or USB components in one computer and not knowing which one is which (even though Windows gives you the option of personalizing them with a "name" they either say Safely remove USB Mass Storage Device - Drive(F or Drive(G or Drive(H, etc.
- When you cancel a print job and the printer just keeps on wasting ink without stopping don't you just love it?

Movies
- When the people that love to talk during movies sit right behind me, really pisses me off.
- When the popcorn is chewy and cold.
- When the film is out of focus and the guy in the projection booth seems to be sleeping.

Driving
- When you're in a hurry to get somewhere, the slowest most inept drivers will all be in front of you at that moment.
- When your parking break is broken on your stickshift, you'll have to park on the steepest streets in your city.
- When you have no reverse, and you remember AFTER you park front side first.

And other stuff that I can't remember, but I have more!

Arresting criminals and solving crime doesn't bring in any money to the city. In fact, investigations cost money. Tickets are pure profit. And, unlike solving crime, it's easy work.

(Around here, cops are stopping cars going 5 mph over the limit on main streets in the middle of the night, while gangs of professional chop-shoppers are regularly putting Fusions that are parked in driveways and parking lots up on blocks and removing all four wheels. Check eBay for Fusion wheels sometime. Notice how many "bargain" sets are coming from sellers in Detroit.)

 

[redbenjoe]

we all do respect that bike headlamps are for rider safety

but --agree with you guys --
the big peeve is about a gang of cops --all going for the 'easy' ticket

i bet adam (thafuzz) would spend his time on dangerous criminals
instead of bike and skateboard kids

 

[bill]

people who block the exit of the bus.
i dont know how many times i have had to make people get off the bus at the wrong stop over this one.

 

[redbenjoe]

wowee --most of you other members must be so blessed ??
so few have pet peeves

well --then -so to renew the thread --lemme double dip

cuz this day --i had a double doozie of a pet peeve :'-(

in fact --it will put all your insignificant peevers to shame !!!!

ready ???

its called the dual antenna syndrome --

and yet it was accomplished with my trusty beach box --- the AIKO # RTR-6020
which has only ONE antenna

gotta go somewhere --
back shortly |-)

 

[Fatdog]

wowee --most of you other members must be so blessed ??
so few have pet peeves

I just have so many that one thread post is not enough space to list everything.

 

[redbenjoe]

ok - now back to tell how i got dual peeved by a single antenna
------------------------------

today --had all the makings of an incredible holiday beach day -
70 degrees with dazzzzling sunshine -

got both my special footstool lounge chair and my AIKO boombox into the
perfect angles for maximun tanning and fm reception

15 minutes later --one of our regular beach beauties arrives -
and plunks her chair down a clear 30 yards away
she is one of those work-out personal trainer types -


but ...most of us agree she went 'overboard' on her trim down endeavors
and shed off about 40% of her 'good stuff'

we now call her " too slim jones "

finally --she settles down for the day --
in postion to have my friggen antenna block out another 40 % of her !!! :annoyed: :'-(

being a true // loyal radio - box guy.....
be dammed if i will ever move my antenna and blow my reception
for ANY broad
= SCREWED

if that wasnt a disaster pet peeve --
then read PART # 2.....

i get home --rush to the mirror - to admire my new tan
and low & behold ......
i have a white line running down from my forehead

the friggen antenna got me again -
and screwd up my tan !!!!! :'-( :'-(

-----------------------------------------------------
i am PEEVED !!!!

Just be glad you're not this guy:
