There is a cure for rat infestation?
Another pet peeve of mine is backstabbers....people who tell you what you wanna hear, when you wanna hear it then immediatey do the opposite of that. -
My pet peeve is getting a burger with mayo and pickles in it.SRT For Life; SDA Forever!
The SRT SEISMIC System:
Four main satellite speakers, six powered subs, two dedicated for LFE channel, two center speakers for over/under screen placement and three Control Centers. Amaze your friends, terrorize your neighbors, seize the audio bragging rights for your state. Go ahead, buy it; you only go around once. -

I have a new pet peeve as of last night - remote operated gas filler doors on vehicles. Are people really still stealing gas so much that we need these things? Because when it's cold and wet out, they tend to freeze shut,and when you're by yourself there's no way to get them open. I'm walking around my car 14 times in the freezing cold, pulling the lever, then trying to pry the stupid thing open wiht my keys, then going back to pull the lever again... wtf. What idiot thought of this one? Obviously someone from a warm climate.If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

E-mail spam really bothers me. I don't get very much email, so when I do it's exciting! But when I find out that inbox is filled with things not want... David Banner angry!

I remember them in the winter months. I used to give it, square in the middle, a good knee and that would seem to break the ice seal around the door and catch. -

I have to say my brain cannot comprehend why people LEAVE their turn signals Blinking while they're sitting amungst other cars "IN A TURNING LANE".
The lane is designated for turnning.
The light is designated for turnning.
Everybody around you knows your turning
At night, It really , REALLY bothers me so much that I want to get out and aproach them and ask "WHY is your blinker on?" who are you signaling to? The people in front of you, behind you, and all around you KNOW your turning in that direction as soon as the light changes. Good grief!
Some blinkers are so bright to me at night, I think they are setting some neanderthal reaction off in me.:mad:Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -

I generally hate people who don't use their turn signals when they're turning. People do often use turning lanes for something other than their intended purpose.
If I approach an intersection in a left turn lane, and see someone in the opposite left turn lane without their blinker on, I have to wait until they start their turn to make sure they're not suddenly going to decide that they really were supposed to be in the center "straight through" lane, and cut in front of me.
I use my turn signal when I intend to turn, whether I'm in a designated lane or not.
What really annoys ME about turn signals, is people who will slow down on a busy two lane road, WITHOUT their signal on, then flick it on for a single blink when they're halfway into the parking lot...Ludicrous gibs! -

People who don't/wont put a few bucks where their mouth is and help out a member who is about to be put on the street with his family. (In the winter, in Michigan) That is my peeve for today.

Self-proclaimed experts that really don't have a clue.
People who ignore the facts and hold on to out-dated, misguided beliefs based on ignorance and a lack of applicable experience yet it doesn't prevent them from opening their gaping maw and letting the most inane and utterly astounding foolishness based on those beliefs to escape and be foisted off as being rational, reality-based thought.
And passive aggressive twits who call others to the mat because they don't agree with whatever ideal/cause/crusade/agenda they think that others should be concerned about.Expert Moron Extraordinaire

Neighbors who own 2 large dogs, leave them outside 24/7, and never clean up the dog ****. What is the point of having a 24/7 outside dog?
Even worse, white trash who move from their home, and leave their dog behind. Every morning I see this dog out in front of the empty house, waiting for the people to come back. Friends of ours that live down the street from the house confirmed this first hand. The neighbors feed the dog when they can...WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:mad: -

More pet peeves...
People who drive Miatas...in the snow.
The fact that when it snows, 99% of the population seems to think that the traffic laws no longer matter and stop using blinkers, drive on the wrong side of the road and disobey traffic signs and signals. Then they blame the snow when something bad happens.Expert Moron Extraordinaire

My pet peeve happened to my wife last night. We were walking out of the restaurant and there was a woman scurrying toward the door...so my wife waited a few extra seconds to hold the door for her. The woman went in and never even muttered a "thanks".
When that ignorance happens to me I make it a point to very loudly say to the person "YOU'RE WELCOME". Most times I just get a confused look...sometimes I get a response to which I reply (as stated on DSOTM)...hey, good manners don't cost anything do they?Yep, my name really is Bob.

Here's one of my biggest pet peeves. I live on a hill that intersects the main road at a pretty sharp angle. The direction I approach my street requires me to turn pretty sharply to the left onto my street and then uphill. So if someone is at the bottom of the hill, say turning left onto th emain road, it makes it REALLY difficult to go around them. So, as I'm approaching I'll give them the high beam flash, like, "go ahead". Then I'll give them another little flash. Then I'll open my window (when its' five friggin' degrees outside) and give them a wave. Do they pay attention? NO. Maybe 5% of the time someone is sitting at that stop sign do they actually pay attention enough to get out of the way before I come to a COMPLETE stop and sit there and wait for them to wake the eff up, and now I'm holding up traffic on the main road.
It's gotten to the point where I've given up, and have gotten pretty good at just slingshotting around people. If the sand or ice is good enough I can even kick my back end around a little bit; not easy in the Subaru. I'm all for being a courteous driver but you gotta friggin' PAY ATTENTION PEOPLE. Then of course people look at me like I'm an a-hole, but maybe if they would pay attention and put their foot in the tank when someone waved them on, I wouldn't ahve to resort to being an a-hole.If you will it, dude, it is no dream. -
