Comedians who steal and use jokes from other comedians.

People who leave their windows open at home and then proceed to have an argument for the whole neighborhood to hear.

I've seen a Dodge Caravan with a wing on it. . . couldn't help but laugh
:rofl:
Quite a few years ago the wife and I spent a weekend out on the Outer Banks in North Carolina and we saw a Dodge Caravan with a 10" lift, 4WD modification, and 33" off-road tires on it...fuggin' hilarious.

I have a few pet peeves.

People who enjoy office politics and focus on how something will affect their future more than just getting the damn job done.

People that speed up as soon as you turn your blinker on.

People that don't move over when you are being nice and making room for them on the road.

New threads that are the same topic of existing threads.

Threads posted in the wrong room/sub-forum.

The fact that no matter how hard I try to, I can't catch the cap and all the clippings in my hand when cutting a cigar in the car. It always seems like it is either or but never both.

Relatives that do not seem religious in person but always send me SPAM blessing me or that contain some sappy "miracle" story or God loves you message.





There are more but I'll save them for later. :eyebrow:

That I have no "pet peeves"

No, I do actually.

People who use incorrect words when writing.
People who don't obey road markings.
People who don't know how to use the "right of way" courtesy at stops.
People who put makeup on or chat on their cel phones in traffic.
People who don't discipline their kids.

The "pull through" in parking lots... how many times have I started to pull into a slot and some a**hole pulls in from the other side!

People who stop and chat right in the middle of the sidewalk or other pedestrian path. I think it's great that people have contact, but step off to the side instead of blocking the whole sidewalk with a group of 8 to visit.

I hate people who talk on cell phones while in line at the cash register. Why the hell do the cashier, myself, and other customers have to wait while you bullshit about your pitiful drama filled life instead of paying for your purchase and getting the hell out of our way.

I hate people who don't say "thank you" after you do something nice, like letting them pull out in traffic in front of you, or when you hold a door open for them.

How about people waiting in line to pay and then don't have their money already out. Hell, you know it's gonna cost something, be ready to pay.

People who after waiting in line at the fast food joint wait until they are in front of the cashier before looking at the menu and deciding what to order.

People who call you to place an order for multiple subs, and wait until you answer before finding out what everyone wants.

Stupid employees

Cashiers who don't say thank you.

People who don't do their job properly.

People who don't do what they say they will do.

Ok, that's all for now. I could continue, but my blood pressure is getting up there. Have a great day.

People who take a full cart into the express lane at the grocery store.

Loud talkers, or worse - cell phone talkers, in the theater during a movie.

People who say "Literally" when they mean "Figuratively."

After being thanked, hardly anyone says "You're welcome," anymore. It's "No problem," or "Sure."


And the plague that is sweeping the nation-

"Thru"

I've found myself falling into that trap. For the last month or so, though, I've been making an effort to avoid it.

How about when people say "could of, would of, or should of" instead of "could have, would have, or should have."

Ex: I could of won some money if I would of played my cards better the other night. LOL!!

People who talk extremely loud on their cell phones in public
Buddy, You would hate me then!!! I can't even talk softly in a library. I've always had a volume problem.

My pet peeves are simple. People who don't use common courtesy such as saying thanks, your welcome and things like not opening doors.

In the re-make of Bad News Bears there's a deleted scene where the lawyer lady asks one of her assistants, "My 11 year old can use spell check, why can't you?" I wish they would've left that line in. . .
