Official Planet Pet Peeves Thread

Not sure if I posted in this thread but I have a couple.

Tailgaters, if I'm doing 75 in the left lane and someone tailgates me, he gets the brake test and most of the time it works but there's always that one a-hole that just can't help him/herself.

Liars, there is nothing worse than a liar, I think that pretty much speaks for itself.

Thieves.
 
I got one this morning. I was out walking and had the Sirius NFL station on my phone. 3 straight commercial breaks featured the."1-877-Kars for Kids" ad, which I promptly silenced each time. Within 10 minutes upon arriving home I received my first ever Kars for Kids email ad. And we doubt Big Brother is watching and listening?
 
might have said this in the first run of this thread but if you are 53,966 years old PLEASE.DO.NOT.SHOP.DRIVE.ETC.WHEN PEOPLE WHO WORK ALL WEEK ARE DOING THESE THINGS. TIA
when i worked at home, i would do all that shit during the day so people who were trying to do things after 5/on weekends could have less traffic that was unnecessary.
 
Now that I the person I'm annoyed with has left, I will post. People who know they can do work but don't. In my job, if there is two of us, we split up the job duties. Sometimes you might be just running the station and other times you might be doing shows, commercials, etc. Today I was running the stations, the other guy had work he could've done but didn't do it. In fact he was out of the room half the time we were working together or on the phone. If there is no work to be done, fine, do what you want. I know there was work to be done because I did some and the guy who took over did some. I actually enjoy the two days a week I work alone. I can get everything done I need to pretty much in the first two hours of my shift.

No, you're just a "conspiracy theorist"... :coffee:

Of course I'm kidding, but, some people refuse to pull their head out, remove the scales on their eyes and think for themselves. Most people just go with the flow and never think about what's really happening around them. Whatever they watch on TV is gospel truth. Whatever conventional boilerplate jargon they hear, they accept.

There, I just segued into one of my pet peeves...

Sounds like my wife, she gets more accomplished when she's there alone than when all the sales people are there, drives her nuts.
 
Motorcycles, ATV'S driven at night. I don't care if they use them all they want during the day, but they are too loud at night.
I really think that some of these people, the louder their bikes are, the bigger chubbys they get.
It should be legal to shoot these people if they use them between the hours of 10PM and 6AM.
And I almost forgot, the little bastards with dirt bikes all hours of the night.

This is maybe a little strange. I say that because the people who do this are intending to be polite and don't mean to offend, I imagine. But This:

I say thank and the whole world answers "Not a problem" It seems forever since some one said your welcome. My mind is going WHY would it be a problem?

Anyway ... Anyone else notice this change in polite protocol?

Yes! Irritating as hell. I seem to experience "no problem" more than "not a problem", but they're essentially the same.

I say you're welcome. I understand the "no problem" response and I interpret it as the respondent trying to be nice and make the thanker feel un-beholding.

Absolutely agree with this.
I won't put up with it in my family or at work. If I hear an employee say "no problem" I rant on the term so that employee never makes that same mistake again.
There's a big difference between "You're welcome" and "No problem". "No worries" gets the same treatment from me. Damn millennials, lol.

i work with way younger people and have picked this up as a bad habit. i will consider my hand smacked. 😁
 
Oh, gosh, it seems the older I get the more irk me. LOL


When I am at the grocery store, I don't expect the cashier to have a long indept conversation with me or any if she chooses. But don't have a long conversation with the cashier next to you, the bag boy or anyone so you are not paying attention that you are done ringing me up, have made a mistake, the customer is waiting for you to press a button so her payment can go through, hold the receipt in your hand as you are still talking to anyone else and so much more.


I have missed this thread. LOLOL

Oh, challenge?

Here we go. LOLOL

Well volume two has been picked up for publication so let me see I have to come up with something those rat bastards have done.


Thinking.......


Thinking.......




Thinking...........




























Okay, here we go.




I have a humming bird feeder in my yard. I would fill it up. I would see no bird. But I would see no more liquid.

It seemed those damn rodents would bump against the pole so the liquid would run out onto the ground for them to lick it up.

I hate squirrels to the bottom of all that is.

Why can they just leave me and my yard alone?


And the war is real, it really is, between them and me. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: I already have notes for part of volume three.
 
I guess by that response I delivered the goods. :rofl:

I gotta be honest, I never fully understood the massive problem you had with squirrels until I went down to NC to visit my girlfriend once. They are just huge and evil. In fact, it seemed all of the nature there from the heat and humidity to the bugs, to snakes and everything in between was misanthropic and completely out to destroy humanity. So I get it now. :rofl:
