The Pet Peeves Thread
Re: The Pet Peeves Thread
Buicks.
I will risk life and limb to avoid letting one pull in front of me when theres only one lane of traffic for me...if it does I know I'm in for a 17mph slog until I can pass it.
Fun fact, the average age of a Buck driver is 73. Shocking, right?

Re: The Pet Peeves Thread
In a motoring stance I hate it when someone goes slower than traffic when passing a diesel, so I cant go the speed of traffic. Then as soon as they get past the damn thing they speed up to about 70 and get near another big rig and slow down to 55 again and so on. Makes me want to follow them where they are going and have a come to jesus meeting. Just saying.

You should try not to be so anal about that.

I invite everyone to come to the range with me. It's as simple as letting me know what day you want to meet up.

Re: The Pet Peeves Thread
Speaking of Walmart…………..
My pet peeve is whatever they do there that causes grossly overweight women to congregate where two aisle intersect and socialize or sometimes just stare out into space. Is it some large animal tranquilizer they dispense into the air conditioning? It’s bad enough to be in a hurry to get into and then out of there (I always am – can’t STAND the place), but to be obliged to get butt-rubbed by 6 or 7 middle-aged ladies who are built for heavy hauling in the process just makes my skin crawl.

The Pet Peeves Thread
People who come up behind you (quickly) in the left lane and get upset if you don't yield to the right. Then once you finally do (or they pass on the right), they flip you off as they go by and then stay in the left lane!
If you want total security, go to prison. There you're fed, clothed, given medical care and so on. The only thing lacking... is freedom.

1) Bluetooth headsets.
2) People who say "brah" as in "bro" (also irritating)
3) People unable to shut their god damned pie holes while chewing.
4) The octogenerian arguing over the price of one piece of fruit. In the express line.
5) Adult Jewish men who say "bubelah" non-ironically.
6) People who express their idiotic need to say or write to a paper that "guns kill people" so we "just need tighter gun laws".
7) Hippies. To this day I wish Kent State happened every day at every campus in perpetuity; would have saved a lot of problems down the road.
8- White people extolling the wonders of diversity who then drive home to a 100% white gated community and their kids go to a 99% (gotta have a token) white private school. I hope they get flash mobbed and lit on fire.
9) People who move or talk or conduct business slowly...worst is all three Time is a finite resource you jerk-offs.
10) The Amish. They know what they did.

Re: The Pet Peeves Thread
Pet Peeves? I got more of those than the cat lady has cats.
I'm annoyed that I moved back to Virginia so that I could smoke in a Waffle House again, only to have that stupid law against smoking go into effect the very next day (before I could make it to the nearest Waffle House).
I'm peeved at people who impede the flow of traffic.
I'm peeved at people who are in front of me in line at 7-11 and hold me up when they pay their voluntary tax on people who suck at math (aka lottery). Really, have your numbers ready or blindly choose a scratch off. It's gonna be a losing ticket, anyway. And, stop acting like you've won something if you've just spent $50 on scratch-offs, and you got $10 back. You're still out $40.
I'm peeved at the Yankee's who move down here and complain the we don't do things the same as where they're from. Go home if you do not like it here.
Men who wear flip flops in public irritate me. Especially if they also drive a Volkswagen. If they also wear a backwards baseball cap, my blood pressure really rises.
William and Mary students, faculty, and campus.
Timeshare salesmen.
The new Cadillacs.
Actually, any vehicle manufactured after 1980.
The Democrat party.
The Republican party.
OK... the list goes on, but I shall stop here.
