Biggest Pet Peeves

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.

I have a full face helemt, a 3/4 helmet and but I prefer a 1/2 helmet. I don't want to feel closed in when on the bike.
Now in regards to the loud bikes mentioned in the other post I can almost bet they are the RUBs that spend a fortune on their bike making it extra loud so they can annoy people while putting on about 500 miles a year riding around the block.

I always wear a helmet, and still have earplugs in underneath. The wind is loud even with the helmet on. Also, no I do not have loud pipes, they do not save lives. The only people that can hear the sound of your bike are those that are already behind you.
 
Thought of another one: I live on a two lane street that's wide enough to (technically) be four lanes. There is no white line distinguishing that there are two lanes, yet so many people drive it that way, practically scraping the curb with their tires as they drive, trying to get around other drivers. I've nearly been hit while mowing the lawn along the curb because these people have no clue what they're doing. Usually the neighbor parks a car on the street in front of their place, which forces people over to where they should be. Top that off with drivers speeding down the road at 45 mph (speed limit is 30). I wish cops would hang out more along our street - any budget deficits for the city would be gone in about a week from all the tickets they could write for speeding.

In my subdivision a deputy parks his cruiser illegally, directly in front of a no parking sign. It drives me batty! Raleigh doesn't ticket anyone for being parked illegally, even when it forces people into the other lane on a blind curve; the minute you park your car on your own grass though-BOOM $30 ticket. Jerks.

Take it down from the cinder blocks next time and you may avoid the ticket.
 
Got another one, cant believe I didnt think of this earlier.

When people like talk, and they like say the word like like every like other like word. It is like really annoying and like makes you sound like stupid and like uneducated like.
 
At Home-- Family members who keep putting trash in the kitchen waste basket, even though it's overflowing already. It's like--"If I can just get the cabinet door closed before it falls off the heaping mound onto the floor, I'm home-free..." At Work -- People who constantly apologize for stuff -- Please, PLEASE learn from your mistake and don't repeat it. In The Car -- Will someone learn how to use their Cruise Control?? And shut your effing blinker off! On TV -- All the national newscasters using the EXACT SAME WORD(s) to describe the latest scandal/tragedy/politician. Example -- Gravitas. And Lastly -- whoever it is that can't spell "Cowgirl!" (And a website that won't let me enter down to a new line when I'm typing a reply!)

People who don't use turn signals. People who throw their cigarette butts out the window when driving. That is littering too!! Wish that would be enforced more.

People who ask you for an opinion and really don't even care to hear it because they've made up their mind.
 
- "Lose" vs "Loose"
- Businesses that use a decimal point along with the ¢ sign. (.75¢) So I should be able to give you three pennies and get four of what you're selling. Still haven't gathered up the stones to attempt this.
- Drivers who come up and nearly kiss your bumper before changing lanes when the left lane was completely unobstructed. Same with cutting you off after they pass you for no reason. You couldn't have continued on for two or three more car lengths before getting back over?
- Drivers who drive the wrong way in parking lots with angled parking
- People who walk three or four across in the parking lot, completely oblivious to you behind them
- People who have their Facebook linked up with Twitter. I follow you on both, and would prefer some original content on the two.

I'm with everyone who hate people that place their registration stickers all over their plate.

Like, I know! Right?! :yes:
 
People who clip their fingernails at work. This is becoming a problem in my office as there are now 4 or 5 people who find it completely acceptable to clip their fingernails at their desk. It's ******* disgusting. I guess since these people find it acceptable to groom themselves at work I'll have to pick a day and show up at work without showering, shaving, having brushed my teeth, or bothering to put on clean clothes. I'll bring all of the essentials (wash cloth, soap, shaving supplies, toothbrush, hangers, laundry soap, etc...) and spend the better part of the morning handwashing some clothes which I will hang up to dry, brushing my teeth, shaving, and cleaning myself up with a wash cloth and soap right at my desk.

*As I was typing this someone just starting clipping their ******* fingernails! :realmad:

Stacking trash above the rim is a perfectly valid technique. If you put it on top and it falls off then you have to take out the trash. He who tops it off, drops it off.

I work with someone who does this and it drives me ******* crazy, I also wonder how they could possibly need to clip their fingernails every day.
 
I knew a girl in high school who would clip her nails during class.

According to Buffy the Vampire Slayer lore, they would be demons.

True. If you take the trash out when it reaches the top of the can, you are wasting a nice portion of trash bag.

Instead of ridiculing the people who do this at your house, maybe you should be upping their allowance. They are trying to save you money, after all.
