Pet Peeves......Have Any?

Fast drivers who tailgate me.

If me going the speed limit is not fast enough for you, that's your problem, not mine.

And I'll drive in whichever lane I feel like driving in, thank you very much. If I'm in the left lane is probably because I know I will be making a left turn somewhere up the road. So what if it's not for another 5 miles? I like to be prepared early so I don't have to try to merge at the last minute. :tongue:

I said, "SLOW drivers in the fast lane." And in Texas, driving along in the left lane unless you are passing will get you a ticket. :hiteachother:
 

People who text while driving while ignoring other drivers and traffic signals.
Telephone spammers and scammers.
Going for something that's on sale in a supermarket, and the sign on the shelf doesn't reflect the sale price, and the employees have no idea of what the item costs.
Baggers in supermarkets that throw your canned goods on top of your tomatoes and breads.
 
I do not like the people just in front of me in the grocery checkout line that are watching the cashier total their items and wait till the price is announce and THEN start looking for their checkbook in their purse. They knew darn well they were going to write a check when they left home. Now I have to wait for them to find the check write it and then balance their account before they give it to the clerk.

That is just wrong. A law like that should be declared unconstitutional. :soap2:

Heh heh

This'll put ya over the edge (long post of self-involved drivel with pics of my mug)

(Sorry C'est Moi)

anyway

Heh, lotsa traffic peeves, I see

None a that bothers me now

I think it may be that I’m just happy to see anybody after spending a week or two in the woods

But

There was a time

Many years ago now

Traffic was thick, jammed
It was hot
Traffic lights were heedless
The guy behind me laid on his horn

I have this temper


Something in my head snapped
I jammed my car in park
Flung open the door
Got out
Blind rage
My only thought was he better be armed and a good shot
Because he ain’t gonna stop me unless he puts a round thru an organ

I’m gonna pull his torso thru the window by his face and beat it ‘til I can’t

Right here I gotta say
I’m not a pretty guy
When I’m dismayed I get even less pretty

I focus on the driver

It’s the church pastor

....and his family
Stunted waving hands and happy to see me faces, fading


Later that night, I took inventory of myself

Hadn’t been afraid of anyone, for a very long time
But, right then, I became afraid

…of myself

Things changed

Over the years, something happened
I guess, if one lives long enough, and has enough close calls, one loses a good many of one’s pet peeves
And becomes just happy to be

.....anywhere

And

One’s expression can change

Still not pretty, but not quite so alarming

Those telemarketers that keep calling but from a different number. Just this week, I received 4 calls, 2 of them yesterday, leaving a message about the back/knee brace trying to get me to "buy" it or put my "name" on their "Do not call" list. Yeah, right. I have no reason to believe any of it. Each one was from a different number and I just keep blocking each number. In my book, they're stupid to think that we would answer after they have called so many times just recently and left a message each time. If it's automated, they need to fix it but they're still stupid in my book. Maybe in time, I will have all of them blocked and it will stop!
 
There's one telemarketer (scam outfit, really) that calls me every single day, even though I've got the number blocked so it only rings once. They call over and over again. On one memorable day, they called around 2 dozen times. Sometimes the calls are 5 minutes apart.

Obviously, there's no human mind at work there. They've got some kind of stupid program, prompting a robocall to keep repeating, whether the call was answered or not. Because of them, I am
discontinuing my land line.
 
Really not many, but I don't like being treated disrespectfully or being around rude people. Courtesy costs nothing.

Wow, Sunny. Maybe if you just got a new phone number that would help?
 
Here's another peeve. People who post without reading the previous postings on a thread. Usually chiming in with the same thing that has already been posted 10 times, or the question was answered 4 pages ago but why bother to read and find out. :rolleyes:
 
Why are the SLOW drivers in the FAST lane??? Put things back where they are found!!! STOP slamming doors! Shut that dang screen door you are letting in the flies! Why did you put the jar back in the refrigerator with only one olive in it? Why not just eat the dang olive and throw the jar in the garbage! It bothers me when people stare at me but it's funny when little kids do it. Messy refrigerators. People reading over my shoulder on an airplane.
