No, I'm not peeved at my pets. I'm talking about those little(sometimes not so little) things that annoy you. Most recent one for me is a "1/2 gallon" of ice cream. Once upon a time you went to the store & bought a 1/2 gallon of ice cream. Then suddenly the 1/2 gallon became 1.75 quarts. Now that 1.75 is down to 1.5. Now the part that drives me crazy, is that the price is still of what an actual 1/2 gallon use to be. I know price goes up on everything, but for some reason this annoys me. Like I said a small matter really, but kind of like nails on a chalkboard.
How about you, what's that small annoyance that pushes you ever so close to going postal?!?

The same thing. Got a letter from the insurance company, it's going up, that raises my mortgage payment, and the auto insurance. Haven't had a wreck in over 30 years, haven't filed a claim in over 10 years. That was only for a cracked windshield from a truck in front of me.

My pet peeve is when someone is giving a presentation or talking in front of a group, ther are always people in the back, talking amongst themselves. Gawd, that ****es me off. It's rude & irritating.

Sissyfibrosis ...

The younger troops seem to be always coming down with it.

I don't know about other states, but here in Ohio I don't know why they put turn signals in cars and trucks, cause there ain't one sum bitsh that knows how or when to use them.

What about azzholes on their cell phones talking loud enuf for the whole world to hear? I stare at them until they actually begin to get annoyed at me. If I had the spare cash, I would buy a cell phone jammer for those idiots, especially when they start talking and texting in movie theaters.

YIELD ~ people in cars do not seem to know how!! grrrrrrrr
Isn’t it simply taking turns???

oh yeah ~ and as of lately computers!!!!!

Squeezing the tooth past tube in the middle.....

Civilians that pretend they know about the military.

People that get something and return it other than where it belongs.

First dates that are interrupted by a damn cell phone. TURN THE STUPID THING OFF ON A DATE!

Moderators that post JZ crap in my music thread

I have two.

1. Drivers that pay more attention to a cell phone call then the traffic! In some cases, it's like walking and chewing gum at the same time--for some folks it's just not possible.

2. The loud base driven music that will rattle everything in your own car from a car that is 4 vehicles away. If an emergency vehicle approaches, they'd never hear it coming.

Ok, So this is not so much a pet peeve but a jealousy thing. When I was in the Air Force I would hear the Army guys singing their "Airborne Ranger" cadence song and we Air Force Guy's didn't really have one that was indigenous to the Air Force.
Later when I joined the Army I got to sing along with the other guys that wonderful old "Airborne Ranger". Recently I found this Air Force Cadence song that is sung to the same cadence and tune as the Army's Airborne Ranger" Song.

If they pick up the phone and it ain't an emergency...there will be no 2nd date.

A couple of months after my wife and I split up, a young lady I'd known through an acquaintance asked me if I'd like to come over to her house for dinner and a movie. I consented, and the following week we met at her place.

Dinner was nice - good conversation, decent food, nice wine.

We retired to the couch and were just sitting there shooting the breeze when her phone rang. Not only did she answer it, she talked for a full 20 minutes to her girlfriend about stupid crap. Even though I could only hear her side of the conversation, I am confident that it was nothing but gibberish and gossip.

20 minutes! I can't remember being so insulted on a first date. Ever.

As you so stated, there was no second date. She just couldn't understand why I didn't even want to stay for the movie.

Or similarly, people who spend meetings sending text messages on their cellphones.

As you say, rude and irritating!

Lazy people.

Not signaling isn't nearly so aggravating as when they make a turn, or change lanes, without checking their blind spots. Fortunately, after 30+ years on the road, I've developed the uncanny ability to "read" them and generally know what move they're about to make, even before they do. I'm right about 95% of the time.

One more thing: Why can't car companies put in a simple connection from the wiper switch to the headlights? If the wipers are on, so are the lights. How simple would that be?

Out of all the members here, Duster, yours is the most provocative sense of humor! Bravo, sir! Keep it up.

My number one pet peeve: (All you old folks turn off your hearing aids at this point).

Old people who use their age as an excuse for rudeness. Boy, that chaps my butt and especially 'cuz I'm old too.

You know the ones I'm talking about. The old lady shuffling down the center of the aisle at Walmart, pushing a basket. If she'd just move over a little, you could pass. But, oh no! Not a chance of that happening, is there?

Or the guy who leaves his basket sitting right out in the middle and wanders off looking for something? There it is, blocking everyones progress and we're supposed to do what? Smile and say, "Awww. Ain't that little ol' guy cute?" Not me. I ram the damn thing with my basket and move on.


Or the old lady going down the street at WAAAYYY below the speed limit who won't move over for faster traffic. I got behind one the other day who was going 8 mph. EIGHT MILES PER HOUR IN A 30 ZONE! My pickup won't even IDLE that slow! There was plenty of room for her to move over, but she just piddled along watching me in the mirror for 6 or 7 blocks. I think she was afraid I'd rear end 'er. Well...she doesn't know how close to right she was.

How about the old folks who can't be bothered to wait in line at a cash register or wheverever. Up they go to the front of the line and interrupt what's going on because they're "senile" or something. They smile sweetly at everyone else as if to say, "Oh, you can allow a little old lady her excentricities, can't you?"

Not a chance, Granny. Back of the line!
