Continuing to make a left turn on a green arrow after it goes from green to yellow to blank is my specific traffic pet peeve.
to............ blank??
Meaning no arrow
And on the other hand, it's bad enough when the driver in front of the left turn lane doesn't notice the arrow turn green, but then the next couple also seem surprised that it's their turn, leaving room for a car or two in between each, so 3 cars get through instead of 6 or 7...
Step off George!
I said cool, where is it, I can grab it for you when we get up. She didn’t like that answer and sat back down.
I think he got his oven in 1952. I haven't seen an oven without seconds since the timer ceased to be an actual clock mechanism.
Ours only shows seconds when it is in the final minute. Otherwise, minutes only.
It's more a habit thing. On the microwave I type 2:00 if I want two minutes. If I type 8:00 on the oven, same manufacturer, it is 8 hours.
Ours shows seconds the entire time. You just can't enter seconds. It's a year old.
I think you’re right, but wonder how often dogs are actually getting thrown from moving vehicles. Never seen or heard of it happening, nor seen the carcasses of ejected canines.
This one is worth the fight.Street parking in the suburbs. There’s a reason you have a garage, and it ain’t storing junk.
For reference, my neighbor parks his two boats, and the ginormous trucks used to haul them, on the street. One set is in front of his house, blocking his driveway. I’m OK with that. I’m less enthusiastic about the ones he parks in front of me and my neighbor’s property, across the street from his home.
The net effect is a narrow corridor, between boats and trucks, and three different mailboxes being blocked. And he only sporadically uses the boats, so suburbia has effectively become his dry dock.
I’ve considered reporting the boats as abandoned, as he technically shouldn’t park them on the street at all. And no vehicle can remain in the same spot for over 24 hours. But my wife, and not wanting a war with the neighbors, have kept my irritation internalized.
He should have no idea who made the call. The police can't divulge that. And if he somehow finds out, so what? The dude is obviously a self-absorbed jerk, why would you are if you upset him a bit?Street parking in the suburbs. There’s a reason you have a garage, and it ain’t storing junk.

Well, my wife is extremely obliging, and attributes some of it to “island style”. She’s kinda right, as street parking is a hot commodity in some neighborhoods. Not ours though.He should have no idea who made the call. The police can't divulge that. And if he somehow finds out, so what?

Ditto and it can be annoying. If you want to use the oven timer for something else, non oven related, and you put in:30 and hit start. It goes to 30 minutes. I mean whatever..use the microwave timer..but it is a legit pet peeve
ALEXA set timer for 25 minutes!#!@#!@#!@#!@#!@#
I prefer my Wizard...... not those knockoff Willards
Depends on whether or not you got the deal.

I don’t care if I upset him, but don’t really want to concern myself with potential retaliatory actions. You‘re right though - he’s clearly a d!ck, and deserves to be treated in kind.
I try to remind myself to take the high road, and not be petty, as ultimately it’s a minor nuisance. Still, I‘m very close to the anonymous police report…
How often do you cook something in the oven for 8 minutes?

my wife is so old fashioned that she just does it by guessing
I haven't seen this addressed yet and being new to the flag football community, I am just noticing this as of recently. Happens here too.
Our tournaments have a similar pace… 95% of the spectators are conscientious, but every once in a while we get one of these families.
Saw it once but it wasn't out a passenger area window. It was a dog that jumped/fell out of the bed of a truck. Morning commute, thick traffic. Probably going around 40 mph. Car slightly behind and on my left began beeping so I looked over and saw this dog, which was tied to the bed of a truck, bouncing on the road behind the truck on my left. When the driver finally braked, the dog's momentum carried it under the truck bumper. Didn't see anything after that as I was still moving.
I've been keeping count, and I'm pretty sure it's 7 days running where my wife will ask me what the weather is going to be like today. Each time she asks, I purposefully and obviously pick up my phone to go to the weather app and read it off to her. Today, I walked over and picked up HER phone, which was sitting on the counter in front of her and did the same thing. Passive aggressive much?
The passive aggressive thing would be to park your least valuable vehicle in front of your house as often as possible. Also ask your neighbor to move his stuff when you attempt to do that, if their vehicles are there. Invent some kind of phantom driveway/garage repairs that never seem to complete as a reason why you need to park in front of your house.Street parking in the suburbs.

Did you explain your situation and ask them if they could shift their stuff away from the field boundary so you could set up for your kid's upcoming game?
