Biggest Pet Peeves

[Cyclones_R_GR8]

I live near a intersection, and there are times when a motorcycle goes by that I have to cover my ears. I don't understand why law enforcement doesn't stop this. I want to bend their exhaust pipes in front of them so they have to hear it. I have had them stop in my driveway sometimes to take a break and riders behind take out earplugs. What is the point?

I can't speak for those people but I wear earplugs when I ride long distance. It has nothing to do with the sound of the bike (which mine is not loud) but cutting back on the sound of the wind rushing past your ears. After a day of riding my ears will ring from the sound of the wind rushing by. Plus you can actually hear better because you are blocking that noise.

Bluetooth headsets at restaurants or basically anywhere in public when not needing a reason to be hands free. It looks pretentious.

The loud noise from motorcycles also helps protect riders by alerting other motorists to their presence.

Anybody that says what not. It's the word of the idiot.

People who call other people idiots, when they clearly, can't even count.

Some people just don't understand language, vocabulary, grammar & what not.

I think it's fairly well known around here that if you leave a few seconds where my microwave clock is supposed to be, you're basically dead to me.

I miss doing this

Thats funny, I would never even consider putting it in another spot. I figured a cop would pull me over for making it hard to find.

Interesting... i didnt know that. I am not trying to offend you but why not get a hemet that protects your ears?

I dont have a problem with all motorcycles just the ones who i have to stop a conversation with my kids when they ride by. These loud bikes aren't loud for saftey they are loud because they want everyone to notice them. Someone reving their motor and driving away from an intersection isnt trying to alert other drivers that they are on the road.

People (teeenage girls) that end every sentence as if it were a question? Even a simple observation has an upward tone on the last few words?

wet socks!! Hate it when you can't see the little puddle of water in the kitchen due to a spill or an ice cube that has melted and stepping in it with socks on.
