Pet peeves

[davey]

all those people who drive around walk around and play around with all their friends and family and seem to think that the world/earth/space is all for them and not to share nicely - which includes too loud trannies and dogs off leads?? have I missed anything??

Greeting someone or answering someone's questions, but they don't acknowledge me.

I get that all the time. I feel like I'm invisible sometimes.

How about those thin plastic bags in the produce department? PITA to get them open.

Same goes for checking out at Walmart. You scan an item and try to get the next bag on the rack to open but they are so glued together you get 6 bags at a time (and none of them open!).

There's a trick to both of those. The produce bags have an overlap down one side where you can rub them open between 2 fingers. The shopping bags require a pinch right where they hang in the center. Pinch just a bit and pull downward.

Back in to the space, then you will have a much better view, when you are leaving. Basic driving school teaching point, when I was a driving instructor with Young Drivers of Canada. JimB.

Then you are aimed the wrong way in one way angled parking when you pull out.

But trannie, (tranny sp) in Australian, can also mean the transmission in a vehicle. AmIRite?

Yup! At least in the US.

Wanting to read an online news story, but it's a video. If I wanted to watch a video, I'd watch a video, dammit.

Trannie in Australian means transistor radio. The one in a car is called a transmission.

In Canada it means transvestite or transexual

My pet peeve is with people who do not spay or neuter their animals or people who overbreed their animal for financial gain not taking into consideration what it's doing to the animal. There are too many animals getting euthanized every year due to some people having no sense of responsibility. Lack of money is no excuse. There are a lot of low income spay/ neuter clinics out there than there used to be. If they still can't afford to fix their animal, it makes you wonder how they can afford to feed them.

`Undated letters, solicitations, news articles online. Is this from yesterday, last month or three years ago?
