Pet Peeves

[VinceBordenIII]

People who walk side by side in the grocery story aisle.
People who pull their cart behind them, or, worse, pull it beside them.

Generally, people suck.

Current pet peeve is computer generated sales calls to my cell phone. I get probably 5 per day trying to sell me insurance. What's extra special is that they always leave a voice mail that is just part of their speech about 20+ seconds into it because it started when my voice mail picked up and they always mask a local phone number.

At the office we get probably another 5-10 per day. "hello, Barbara?"

I started to religiously and meticulously block those numbers. I mean, boom, right after I hang up...blocked! And if I forget or get distracted I go back later and block them. It hasn't eliminated the calls but it has cut them down considerably.

I block. One day I got TONS of them and they were almost completely sequential numbers from North Carolina.

when cars (or trucks) are side by side in different lanes, going the same speed.

people that slow down and prepare for a light to turn from green to red before it does.

people at check out who just stand there looking over all the lotto scratch off tickets, trying to decide which ones they want.

My cellphone is almost useless anymore.

I get the occasional nuisance call, but the latest legal crackdown seems to have been pretty effective. Only had one so far this year. The people running the scam companies can't just fold one and start up another any more, the enforcers can after the directors.

You don't have yellow lights where you come from?

Add people who slow down while passing on the interstate then speed up after they pass. All they are doing is increasing the time their near the other vehicles.

i think one thing that drives me the most crazy is when you are at a red light and there's 5 to 10 cars in front of you waiting on it to turn green. then when it does, it seems as though it takes forever for each car to start moving forward.

[Geist]

People who do the speed limit in the far left lane of the highway should be removed by force.

They're probably not slowing down. It's more about your perception of time and speed.

Then my cruise control is haunted. Be tracking along not gaining on them they approach a slower car in the slow lane and I have to tap the breaks to get out of cruise or even break to not hit them.

The way you wrote it I thought you were the car being passed, not the car behind the car doing the passing.

There is no answer anyone can give that can beat this.

Mine is kinda unique to my type of area. Out here, miles and miles of roads with little traffic (miles between vehicles). So I'm cruising down the highway at speed with the cruise control on. Not a car in site in either direction. See a vehicle approaching from behind. As soon as they get on your rear bumper, instead of passing, they sit there for mile after mile. I finally drop my cruise until I'm near 20MPH below the speed limit before the person gets the message and passes. Oh, and that "person" almost always is female. ARGGGHH

People who talk with food in their mouths.

Staying on the driving peeves....people who stay in your blind spot without a care in the world. I get it if that's all you can do because of the number of cars on the road but If I'm cruising along and I notice I'm in someone's blind spot, and I'm able to, I instantly change my position. To me, that's just courteous and safe.

[megman]

People who think they are unique.

[Stapes]

Empty parking lot. I park away from the normal close spaces so no one parks near me. Come out of store and sure enough they parked right next to me.


Empty movie theater. No matter where I sit they will come in and gather around me like satellites.


Senior citizens who talk through the fucking movies like they are six years old.

I'm not surprised that you don't like females. Afterall, they don't have a cock for you to suck.

This one is for you WTC. Coming from a female minority...[media] [/media]
