Today's Pet Peeve

That's not the common vernacular for the parking brake portion of a rear rotor ?

Not that I'm aware of. I think some people use the term because rotors sorta resemble a boater hat.
 
biting into what looks like a nice juicy apple and finding the core is rotten.

this has been happening too often in the last month. Yuck!
 
Everything's better where I'm from but for some reason I'm no longer there and have been here forever!
 
you know what really grinds my gears??!

When there are 4 doors-open, empty elevators yet the 3 people walking in the lobby behind me decide to follow me into one elevator. WHY DON'T YOU GET ON AN EMPTY ONE? I'm on floor 10 so I have to wait for it to stop at 3, 5, 7.. :mad

I used to deal with it, now I get out, give them all a pointed look and get into an empty one.

5 bucks says they're usually guys :laughing
 
Figured I'd drop this here. And before I hear it...m4m.

So this morning I stopped at the Specialty's in Santa Clara on the way in to work. I get out of my car and see some dude in a Porsche (btw way to go keeping the stereotype going dude) Cayenne get out in a spot further away. Then this fucking guy does some fast walk but not trying to look fast thing and beats me to the front door even though I started easily 50ft in front of him. So he beats me to the door by 10ft, knows I'm right behind him....doesn't even make a half assed kick attempt to hold it open for me and goes right in and gets in line.


Wowww dude. Really?



As a vindication, I didn't get in line behind the douche. Instead I went to the island where they have the iPads setup, swiped my card in the reader and got my order processed in 5 seconds while dipshit is still in line. Got my order long before him and was on the road before he could even leave the store.


Btw. If you have a newish black Cayenne, and that was you this morning at 7am....fuck you.
 
Pet Peeve's - List Yours

1. BBQ Jail: When you go to someone house for a BBQ which they make time specific (be there by XX) and then they make you wait for 2-3 hours before they start cooking any food.

2. Business Owners: When they take the best parking spot in the lot and they own the place. What about the customers?


Your turn!

Old fashioned thinking.
Accepting information w/o a filter.
Big businesses that operate like big businesses.
Doing things under the guise of making people safer, when it's really about money.
People who buy $300 in groceries and booze, but can't donate $5 to fight Leukemia.
Those who discuss my 'needs'.
There's just too many...
 
Yeah, pluralizing with apostrophes is right up there for me.
Also, adding quotation marks for emphasis.

But I'm an English teacher, so... I have chosen a life replete with peeves.

Stores that try to guilt you into donating to the charity of the day.

I already pressed no on the card reader yet you have (are instructed?) to ask me anyway? To which I smilingly answer NO, all the time staring at the cashier.

Now the latest thing is to ask if you would like to round up your purchase to the next dollar to donate to blah blah blah?

JHC, just bag up my new socks and boxers and I'll be on my way.

Idling cars especially when left empty. I dream of driving off on a joy ride.

Truth be told, I never saw the original Pet Peeve thread or I'd of posted there. It sucks being human, I tend make mistakes almost on a daily basis.

Don't be a little bitch, come up with an idea to solve the problem instead of just whining about it. No one likes to listen to someone that just complains and doesn't offer up a solution...
