What is something that some would consider as minor, that’ll drive you up the wall. For starters…..

People who chew with their mouths open. I can’t stand that shit.. I have to say something
IMG 0460

$100 bills.  They always seem to be stuck like they’re tack welded together in my wallet.  I prefer $50’s just for that reason. What can I say, I like cash. The wife doesn’t see what I spend on bike parts or, fishing gear lol. 

People who have the entire 20 miles of vacant, God Damn river to fish and, want to walk right up next to me to fish. I’m out here to get away from people. FAWK!!!! 


My tools unorganized for work. My tackle and, fishing gear not packed correctly. I absolutely hate not knowing exactly where something is. Even worse, forgetting it. 

Have fun and, please leave politics out of it.

100% onboard with hating people chewing with their mouth open. Who the hell raised you?

People who drive in the left lane doing the speed limit or less. Get the fuck out of the way or you will receive the PIT maneuver.

In general, anyone on their speakerphone within a public setting.

100% on the speakerphone in public. Same with the shitheads playing music without headphones.

Since I work on a military base; seeing these fuckers walking around in uniform with their faces buried in their phones, or talking on the phone. I'm convinced the Navy completely stopped teaching military bearing at bootcamp.

When you're on the phone with a company talking to an automated voice and it says "Let me look that up for you"  and then they play the fake punching a keyboard noise ? For whatever reason that rapid fire bubble popping noise that's supposed to sound like someone's typing on a keypad makes my head want to explode. 

People that smoke in their car and hang their cig out the window at a red light. News flash, your car fucking stinks, hanging it out the window isn't going to help. We don't want to smell that crap either. Roll up the windows and seal that shit in, hotbox it like our parents did ya fucking pussy.😄

No doubt, our lists could be endless. 

First, and foremost,

People who don't follow through with what they say they're going to do.

Especially at work.

 

Second,

Fair weather friends/family members.

 

Edit, after reading Sumdood's post.

Anyone smoking a cigarette anywhere near me.

Or someone walking into my shop with one.

Trust me, you think I'm an asshole online...

When me and my kid go drive R.C. cars, or do something together outside, and my neighbor thinks "This would be a perfect time to go out and smoke a joint on the porch". Can stand it.

I won’t go to the inside lane at McDonalds. 
I always want a way out. 

As far as pet peeves… there’s not enough time for them all. But as said above, I have no patience at all with people smoking anything around me. 

Also, morans at a 4 way stop that are stopped while you’re about 50 yds away, and they wait for you to get there and stop before they go.

I’m pretty big on people following through. 

Another thing for me is people who can’t be on time. 
If you say you’re going to be there, fuckin be there.

People walking in a crowded area who just stop and stand in the middle of the area, with zero situational awareness of the people walking behind them. 

Or even in a grocery store, people who just stop in the middle of the aisle with the cart blocking. Like they are the only ones in the store, do not even think to turn around to see if they are blocking other people.

Just amazes me some people's ability to go through life without any realization of the world around them.

Women and old men are very guilty of this. No respect, should resemble the rules of the road with rights of way rules, etc.

Pet pieves not many. The auto flushing toilets that spray your spinkster & nut sack b4 your done. And if I dropped a 12 in doozy , I don’t what it fludhed. 1st I want to look at it , like wow I did that. And to let the next person enjoy lookin at yr state Log.  And the auto dispensing paper towels that don’t work. You keep flashing your hand , then u get a tiny paper towel.  The push button water conserving showers at the Plainfield iL. YMCA. I want hot or cold levers. Not hit the bottom 5 times for 50 seconds of cold water .  And it’s not even all the way cold.  After a sauna break I want freezing cold then sauna again.  5 times to hit the button to get warm water.  And hotter states that don’t hv cold water in the summer.  And paying 15.00 for a ts shower & it sucks. The water doesn’t get hot the tiny room is freezing & the water pressure sucks.  That’s about it for me.

People who drive in the left lane doing the speed limit or less. Get the fuck out of the way or you will receive the PIT maneuver.

In general, anyone on their speakerphone within a public setting. 

 

Pit maneuver FTW! 
My car peeve is related to yours: I don't really care if someone is driving slowly. You know, if the traffic wants to move at 80 on the freeway and you're doing 70? OK, I'll go around. 65? 60? well, that's a bummer, but I'll get around. What peeves me is people GOING FREAKING 30 MPH ON THE FREEWAY IN THE MIDDLE LANES!!!! Get THE F out of the WAY!!!!!! If you want to drive like that, stay all the way over to the right and put your hazard lights on!

Yes, yes, and YES!! that’s what the freaking right lane is for, idiots!!

Honestly,  I’m not sure if they teach the basics in drivers education anymore. I wonder if they even teach parallel parking?

Lol@towel dispenser! That’s a big one for me too. I heard a comedian once say that when you’re waving your hands underneath an empty dispenser you just look like a bad wizard.😂

Agreed, traffic lane etiquette 101.

And on 2 lane highways, someone in the "fast lane" just drives right next to someone in the "slow lane" for miles and miles. No way to pass, and they are oblivious to the line of cars piling up behind them because no one can pass. Do they not have a rear view mirror?

Yep. I don’t know if it’s a power thing, like “you think you can come to my county and drive 38 mph in a 35 zone? Not today you bastards!” or a case of “technically I’m doing the damn speed limit! F-off!”

Adding on to this I use cruise control whenever I can.  I hate when I have cruise control on at 75 and I catch up to a car going 60 and I go to pass them in the fast lane and all they do is speed up and then next thing I look like the asshole blocking the fast lane because the dummy decided he wanted to speed up to match my pace.

Fast lane slow drivers and also hazards in rain storms. Florida actually made it illegal and there is giant signs posted all over the highway that says no hazard flashers during rain or you will be ticketed. Flashers are for distress, pull over and wait for help if you are distressed due to rain. It never fails if it starts raining people turn on their hazards and make a road block across all lanes going 25 in a 70 mph when it barely starts raining.  I just want to ram them off the road but I am the calmest fast driver. I'm a mellow driver. I just don't care about life much anymore to get excited I guess. I never even honk at people messing up, that just makes them rubber neck and screw up worse.  Lol

Here’s a couple pet peeves that a pilot in here can possibly reflect on…

1. The way some pilots turn large a/c into the gate without “swinging” the a/c. It’s as if they HATE the a/c and really want to destroy the landing gear or rip it off!!!  😂

2. I drive…A LOT. Far too many people are simply terrible...bad…dangerous drivers. They’re in a little bubble and they have no concept of the world outside of that bubble. I drive…I race…I fly…as if all drivers/racers/pilots are stuck in this “bubble”. I see shit that is so bad that…my daily commute vehicle is soon going to be a “Prerun-Raptor” that’s capable of taking…and giving…a hit. 🤣

3. I observe far too many people living IN their phone…while dining…while walking…while having dinner with a date, their spouse…their family. Damn.

This!!!

Also, around here we have a lot of two lane highways with an occasional third lane for passing. There are always the goofballs going 5 under when there is now to pass, only to speed up in the passing lane, and of course slow down again in the single lane. Uhggg!

I'm with AZ35 on the doors.  Mine is people who stand in doorways carrying on a conversation.  People who stand right in front of the elevator doors waiting to get on.  Merging, don't speed up when you see someone about to merge into traffic.  People who curse about every other word with anything they say.
