What is YOUR pet peeve? Let's have a laugh.

My pet peeve of the day, seems to be how each generation has a problem with the way the following youth, tend to blame the former gens for their "shortcomings" they now have. So, your kids, kids... are now doing the same to their parents! Seems like no generation wants to own up to the lack of responsibilities.

Must have been this way from the start? Gotta blame...someone!

Peeve over. Feel better...now. :bigok:

I think I was blissfully ignorant of whatever was a shortcoming or missing.
One of the funniest things I remember thinking as a very little kid, was that my parents had kids to do chores around the house.... Yeah, because we made life so much easier for them .
Years ago I was designing a family photo mug as a gift for them and going through all my old pictures it hit me, they looked exhausted on all of our vacations.
 
I was reminded of a pet peeve this morning when I had a bunch of stuff in one arm and had to get my keys out of my pocket with the opposite hand.

Ie: carrying a bunch of crap under my left arm and hand then had to get my keys out of my left pocket with my right hand to unlock a door :rant:
 
I don't carry keys in my pocket.

One bad experience a few decades ago was all it took.

That brings up another peeve, though- when your key carabiner's spring lets go.
Mine started losing it's grip last month and this month the key has fallen off twice and the car fob once.
I picked up (in my hand) a potential replacement a Harbor Fright, but put it back because it felt cheap, the spring felt weak, and there was no "second level" hook on the sprung closure.

If they also end with "know what I mean?

I believe they cancel out.

Don`t forget the frequently inserted` Ya Know, as their telling you about some kind of story or event, that you wouldn`t/didn`t know about that their describing !
I guess if I had been there, I might in fact would know, at least some of whatever happened !

One time I started this job this guy thought he was training me
Anyhow anytime during his dissertations if I looked away he would move his torso and head or whatever or bend down to re-establish eye contact

I'm no bad ass but how I kept from laying his ass out is a miracle :rflmao:

Admittedly rude people in general are my biggest pet peeve. The stuff I see in the super market brings rude to a whole new level. The stuff I mumble under my breath when I'm there would make a truck driver blush.

A comment from me: In 27 months of full time power chair use, I have learned much about people as they really are. I find them to be super helpful, and friendly, or very rude (and sometimes in the way or ableist).

Commercials that are made to look like someone raving about the product on social media.

The more I record or stream shows, the less I'm able to tolerate any commercials.

I have XM in the main car so that when the wife and I go out and about I don’t have to hear the dingbat in the comercial screaming I want to see ya in a Kia !

Not sure I could have kept myself from doing something to counter.

I used to work with a few people I didn't care for, that thought very highly of themselves.

I would make a point of looking just past their ear while talking to them.

It usually takes a while for someone to notice that, but almost invariably, they look in that direction and do so repeatedly.

Sometimes, but not always, they figure it out.
If you focus back to them every so often, and maybe change sides, it becomes super annoying but can take several interactions before they catch on.
Some never catch on.

It makes conversing with those people just a little less unbearable.
 
People, especially those with very limited driving skills, trying to back into parking spaces. Seriously, why do people do that? Is it some kind of social media thing? It seems like every time I go to park in a garage or lot I have to wait for some dope trying to back into a parking space. They pull part way in, then they back out then back in, then back out, usually 5 or 6 times, and when they're done, they've parked so close to the next car that its driver is going to have to get into his car on the passenger side and climb over the center console. The worst offenders are the urban cowboys driving $80k pickups. Poor visibility out the back? Why, is the camera broken?

And then there are the idiots who back into parking spaces at Costco. FFS, you're at Costco! You're going to have to load stuff into the back of your car. Don't you think it would be easier if the back of the car was exposed and not 6" from the bumper of the car behind you?

Now, get off of my lawn!

Many, MANY good reasons, none of which have to do with the Internet. Here's a good synopsis...

Why back in?

I back in almost everywhere. In 99.9% of road vehicles, your front wheels turn and your back ones don't. Backing in allows for MUCH more precise parking and gets you into tighter spaces.

Knocking what you don't understand IS, however, a major issue on the internet.
