Can we discuss pet peeves here? (7 Viewers)

Following a guy for 16 miles on the interstate with him having his left turn signal on the entire time.  He even changed lanes that were to the right of him, but that turn signal still continued on.

I don't think there were any left exits coming up for at least 200+ miles.

 
PEOPLE WHO DON'T MOVE OVER IF YOU ARE MERGING ONTO AN EXPRESSWAY/HIGHWAY@#!#@!@#

If there is traffic and you can't I understand.   But when we are rolling 3 lanes wide and and you are the only car within miles.  THANKS FOR MAKING ME SLOW DOWN IN THE ACCELERATION LANE!#!@#!

F that - That guy sees me merging onto the highway a good 1/4 mile away.  So i either pull out in front of him at the end of the acceleration lane and he has to slow down - or i slow down until he passes.

ITS 3 freaking LANES wide going East bound

We're not talking 50foot acceleration lanes here. I'm almost up to full  speed by the time I hit the end

I DO - I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN IN THE ACCELERATION LANE UNTIL THEY PASS.

Are you telling me you people ride the right lane and you see a car entering the highway ahead you just stay in the right lane?

You won't move over to the middle lane?!#?!?#@
This bugs me too but unfortunately the car in the merging lane takes full responsibility here.  Just speed up and cut them off.

Followed some idiot on I-45 on the way to Galveston.  The left turn signal was on for miles.  You can't turn left anywhere in the area.  It's an interstate.  You can't hear the damn thing?

That was aggravating.  How little attention was the driver paying to the job?

Job? Was he driving a truck?

I even got ahead of the guy and turned my turn signal on and left it on for a mile (we were in the far left lane) hoping that he would notice.  Nope.

Dunderhead.

 
I hate the dudes that move over to block a lane when people are doing a proper zipper merge. I can just imagine them thinking:

"WHO DOES THAT GUY THINK HE IS USING THAT LANE TO PASS ALL THESE GAWDAMM GOOD AMERICANS WHO MERGED A MILE AGO SO HE CAN MERGE IN AT THE END. THAT LIBERAL SOMBEEETCH AIN'T PASSING ME AND THESE OTHER GREAT AMERICANS IF I HAVE SOMETHING TO DO ABOUT IT."

So much this. Usually a pickup truck driver who thinks he's in some sort of traffic militia.

The kicker being that five miles back he was tailgating you hard even though you were 15 over the speed limit.

Music playing. No reason to look at  the blinker since he's on the highway? Probably would have caught it quicker if turning had been an option.

 
1) Talking about Twitter as if it was a single sentient being.

"Kanye stumps for Trump. Twitter is stunned."

"Browns take Mayfield. Twitter is stunned."

2) Real news organizations using random tweets from nobodys in articles.

"Voice of Apu may leave Simpsons. Twitter user @curryistwicenicespice says 'Now who will my kids have as a role model?'"

 
We had to do this once.  We had a bunch of hundreds, which are hard to use.  We deposited $800- no problem.  But we needed some twenties, so we asked for $100.

Of course, the machine gave us a c-note.  We had to re-deposit it, and ask specifically for twenties.  At least no one was waiting to use the machine.  That branch has four or five ATM's going at all times.  
I get rid of fifties in self serve supermarket lines for a couple bucks worth of stuff. That way I don't feel guilty about taking all of a cashier's small bills.

 
Small throw blankets.  Every once in a while I'll lay down on the couch and grab the throw blanket.   Then get annoyed because it's too short... 

 
Living in NYC, our sidewalks are like your streets... stay to the right, don't stop short, pull over to the side if you need to look at your phone, don't block the width of the sidewalk with big groups, etc etc. As spring turns to summer and the millions of tourists turns to billions, just walking down the block becomes a daily lesson in frustration.

ETA ..and don't get me started on navigating the subways or bikelanes.

My wife and i just talked about this earlier this morning. I wish media treated retweeting/quoting tweets with a little more care. Treat it as you would any other news piece and vet the source.

The exception to this is if a lane or two is closed ahead because there is an accident or construction and traffic is moving very slowly.  But then I guess it wouldn't be a "zipper merge" it would just be cutting in line.

How is it cutting if the lane is open?

 
Not really a pet peave I guess, and maybe it’s even a decent thread. But every time I’m scrolling through the FFA and read ....

”We built this playlist on schlock and roll ...”

I get a peaved

That's not an exception.  It's exactly what he's talking about.  

Don't bother answering.  Realize you're wrong and try to correct your ways.  Thank you.

 
Why the #### are the dry cleaners smashing entire buttons or breaking off pieces on almost all of my shirts now no matter where I take them.

WHAT THE #### IS GOING ON!?!?!?!?!?!?!?   Iron the ###### shirt without smashing the buttons!!!!!

 
This isn't a pet peeve this is more for the Jack holes that don't know how to f****** drive hey if there's a biker on the shoulder and you're following them and you're going into a blind curve with a double yellow line that doesn't mean you move over to the oncoming traffic lane thanks for almost f****** hit me head-on #######

Starting to think maybe you shouldn't be driving

:P

 
I hate those people that cruise beighborhood in the right lane when not intending to turn.

So when a red light comes They back up 3-4 people behind them trying to make a right turn.

Or my favorites, the ones that pull all the way to the right at the light... then subtly put on their left blinker. It makes me want to kick a puppy.

 
When there's a public bathroom with some combination of left and right turns for an entrance/exit rather than a door, those people that take the left turn sharply instead of sweeping around to avoid the potential person coming the other way around the corner.  Those people annoy me.

 
do you people that chew with your mouths open realize it and are doing it because you know how crazy it makes everyone else around you & you get some sick enjoyment from that?

or are you completely oblivious to the sounds of your slurping, crunching and moaning while you eat?

there's absolutely no reason i should be able to hear you eating grapes from 20 feet away over my radio and general office chatter. 

 
Automated telemarketing calls to your cellphone. My phone doesnt ring all that often, so when it does, it's generally something "important" so I usually answer even if Im driving. Nothing infuriates me more that taking this risk only to discover its some automated telemarketing #$&# trying to sell me an extended warranty on a vehicle I dont even own anymore. Make is worse that its not even a real person, so you can't give them hell and tell them to take me off their stupid list. Should be illegal.  :rant:

You may be a Misophonia sufferer.

yes.

i especially love this shtick when i'm right ####faced, and i will target Hip-Hop or Hipster joints ... they don't know whether to #### or shine shoes when i'm in rare form. 

 
People that turn right on red where there is a big honking sign that says "No Turn On Red".  There is a reason that sign is there.
