Going to a website and having to dig thru menu after menu of bullshit to get to a phone number so you can call and speak to an actual human being for customer service.

....and when you get that phone number, you have to go thru all those  bullshit menus/prompts (usually having to speak what you want and it not working) to get to a person.      

...and finally, it says, "Due to high call volume, leave your name and number and we'll get back to you". 

To which, they never do. 

 

Holy Shit!!!

Magoo,

I really think you just shared an opinion that is not polarizing.  I think almost everyone on Vital will agree with you on that. It is Vital though, bound to be a few that disagree just because its you.😁

I had a teacher in middle school say nearly everything was one of her pet peeves. Pulling staples incorrectly? Pet peeve. Asking “can” I go to the bathroom? Pet peeve. Tying your shoes during class? Pet peeve. Every time someone would do something that slightly irked her, she’d stop what she was doing to announce “oh my god, people doing X is one of my pet peeves.”


So my only pet peeve is the phrase “pet peeve”. The most annoying thing someone can do is harp about what annoys them.

She probably had 9 cats and lived alone. Sounds miserable.

I'm pissed because things that piss grown men off are called "Pet peeves".

On that note, zipper lane infringers should be shot dead.

A small pet peeve of mine is when someone walks too slow in front of me. Another one is when the cameras for sx/mx/smx cut away at the wrong time. Or when they don’t show a lot of guys in the fast lap in quali(they have been getting better). Or when they don’t show opening ceremonies at races they have pre race shows(i thought that was one of the purposes of the pre race shows).

A big pet peeve of mine is when a driver pulls out of somewhere to turn as im approaching them. Or when the lights are too fast from going from green to yellow to red.

SxS’s.  Every aspect of them. I wish they didn’t even exist. Too many reasons to list in one post.

My biggest pet peeve? 

People who wear pajama bottoms to the grocery store, ESPECIALLY young men. Fuck sake, nothing says you are unemployed and live with your girlfriend and her parents more then a dude wearing pajama bottoms out in public. I so badly want to go up to them and say something, but mostly I just wince and look around and give head nods to all the other men in the area who are displaying the same amount of disgust. 

I'm debating disclosing another pet peeve but I'm not sure I feel like getting a bunch of thumbs down this early in the day. Perhaps after some late day drinking. 

This is the lamest one I read on this whole list (narrowly over the guy who gets bothered by people smoking weed on their own porch...

This is the lamest one I read on this whole list (narrowly over the guy who gets bothered by people smoking weed on their own porch, if it was a bottle of whiskey it’d be fine right?)

Why do you care what another man is wearing on his lower half? It’s not indecent exposure, it’s literally just a different fabric on their legs. I literally did this yesterday, as I do pretty much every time I go anywhere. Plad, fuzzy, warm, PJ bottoms, that’s the #1 option once it gets too cold for Bball shorts. Work pants are for work, not my fault you enjoy being uncomfortable. And what exactly can you do in your jeans that I can’t in my pjs? One time I had a bad cut on my ass, didn’t wanna miss a race, so the next weekend I raced 250 & open A in sweatpants.


I never wore jeans to school once. Sweats, bball shorts, or pjs every single day. That’s the last time that I ever had someone say something about it so I’d love for someone to come up to me in a grocery store with some fashion advice lol. I definitely do not live with my gf and her family. 

My biggest pet peeve is people who don’t mind their own fuckin business!

Do you also wear a ball cap backwards 100% of the time?

I'm trying to complete the visual. 

Here I’ll complete the visual for you with a screenshot from opening day on the hill the other day. Don’t have any pictures of me out in public like a normie.IMG 1118

This is the last thing most families of skiers see before I cover them with a tidal wave of snow or jump over their heads. Which brings me to my next pet peeve: skiers, the quad riders of the slopes. And yes Reese that’s stylish me in my profile picture as it has been in all of my previous ones😁

but people saying they went down to Idaho. If you're in Utah, Idaho is UP!!! 

Same goes for "we went up to Arizona for the wknd" No, you went down.

I still like the elevation idea… it would confuse so many people. Then they would just say “ I’m going to Wichita”.

As such, I concur with the “I don’t wanna smell it” folks (even-though weed smells pretty good to me in most cases).

But, it ain’t no different than cigarettes (smell like ass to me) or cigars (most smell pretty good to me).

So, ultimately, I’m on the fence…HOWEVER…

I’ve witnessed far more people behaving like fools due to alcohol versus what I’ve seen from people smoking weed.

I’m jus’ keepin’ it real 🤣

I agree that regular cigarettes and cigars are just as offensive. 

Smokers are usually whining about losing their right to smoke. If they would put a fishbowl over their head sealed up where I didn’t have to smell it, I wouldn’t give a rats u know what about smoking. But just like my right to swing my fist ends at their nose, their right to smoke ends at mine!

Where’s the certain group of people to defend the rights of smokers as they intentionally forget the second hand smoke/airborne chemicals issues…?

Liberty Mutual Insurance commercials.  

Stupidest damn commercials on TV.  They look like the company CEO's 5 and 6 year old kids write them.

I swear, my "regular television" time is almost nil. Thanks to endless, repetitive blocks of commercial advertising, and just plain worthless content. 

But during the tour de France coverage there was a fucking commercial for some,  death wish energy drink bullshit, that absolutely hit rock bottom as far as how refuckingtarded ad campaigns can sink to.

I take my mom to Dr visits at the local hospital and being she used a walker and now a wheelchair we park in the large handicap section near the entrance. 

A few visits ago the car next to us in the parking lot did not have/put out their handicap placard and they had a ticket under their wiper. Curious how much it was for I took a peak and it was in the high $400 range

If you drive somebody's car that has one and you park in a hdcp spot. It's also a ticket.

Speaking of parking, add realtors who think it’s cool to stop and block an intersection or street to save walking 100 feet while they put up there signs.

Good friend of mine was a building manager. This particular building was vacant. The part of the parking lot he was parked in was on the backside of the building so he could go in the back door. He parked in the handicap space so he wouldn't have to carry some furniture so far. You couldn't see that section of the parking lot from the road that the building was on but you could see it from the freeway as you were driving past. The PD got off the freeway drove around and ticketed him for parking in a handicap space. Go figure. Empty vacant building with parking for maybe 200 cars, no other cars there, they knew the building was vacant but wanted to make a point. They get revenue from that shit!

Assholes who don't slow down in construction zones.

Especially when worker's are just a few feet away, on the other side of the cones.

Picky eaters! They drive me crazy, I was raised to eat what you were served. Even if I didn't like it, I ate it.

"Never complain about a meal someone prepared for you" is something I learned at a young age and its stuck with me.
