One of my biggest pet peeves is running into mountain bikers on trail that will not acknowledge that you moved over for them or get put out that they had to move over for you. Same ones go out of their way to avoid saying hi, thanks, have a good day etc. If you’re so miserable, stay home 🤷🏼‍♂️

Along those same lines. 

I'm out in the middle of nowhere,  a remote boat launch, walking trail, etc and I come upon someone else and they pretend I'm not there

 No head nod, no smile, no eye contact,  nothing 

 Is it that hard to acknowledge another human being when you are the only 2 for miles around?

Young women that wear PJs and slippers on airplanes. Grow the F up! This isn't your sorority's slumber party.

Oh man , I can imagine!😂

One of my pet peeves is spraying myself with the hose. I have good water pressure around here and until recently, an old spray gun. One day, I went to wash my bike, screwed everything on nice and tight, turned on the water, and before I could get to it, the spray hose started spraying... HARD. It was stuck WFO. It stood up on the hose like a damn spitting cobra and hosed down my car, the front of my house, inside the garage, and me. 😡

It’s worse when the neighbors see, or the wife.😂

Good, I'm glad. My self-deprecating humor is one of my best assets.

People that drive the speed limit (or less) in the fast lane on the highway. 

Even worse when they do that in the fast line right next to another vehicle, both going the same speed, so you can't go around them. 

People will have a line of cars behind them, and no one in front of them, and they just make all the other cars change lanes to pass without ever thinking about why all these cars are flying past me...? Hmmm, maybe I should change lanes instead of making 60 other people change lanes to pass.

I’ve said this many time over the years. I still believe that based upon your driving record, if there are no infractions, you should be granted  one pit maneuver per year. And as long as there are no fatalities as a result of said pit maneuver, you can begin accumulating pit maneuvers going forward. Can you imagine the satisfaction?

As previously mentioned, I gotta say…. Fuck people showing up to the job site and needing to borrow tools. Here’s a text I sent the other foreman who lent his torque wrench to an apprentice lacking one. No tool showing mother fuckers. These Teknik wrenches are $200. For a piddly ass wrench that got misplaced.  

Have tools or, you don’t fuckin work.

State troopers here have really been cracking down on uncovered offroad lights and bars. Halo lights that a lot of jeeps run, Even raptor grill lights.

Anything other than 4, our two headlights and running lights.

Luckily mine is tucked away under my lower grill opening. 

 

Just another chickshit reason to pull you over, fishing for more ticky tacky violations. 

 

Nice ride. Needs a few trail pinstripes though. 🙂

No courtesy wave after letting the dip shit who waited until last minute merge into my lane while everyone else sat in traffic.

You can borrow my dog, but you can't borrow my tools.

My dog can find his way home.

 

I used to run the shop side of things at a small vacuum forming company. My only requirement for personal tools was a tape measure, and a razor knife for the floor personnel. The company provided everything else they may need. 

I someone showed up without one of those 2 things, I ran them off until they had one.

Food in the sink... Scrape your plate off in the garbage you animal!!!

Also, seeing the Brita water pitcher empty in the fridge. The 30 seconds it takes to refill it must've been too stressful...

Forgot about these! 100%

Also, to all  teenagers: The garbage disposal is not a catch all for everything. It should be rarely used.

Between the two of us, the dog and cat, "making water" is almost a constant activity.

Double filtered.

First through a zero water filter, then into the big pure water container in the fridge. 

 

And we have a huge compost bin for our table scraps, leaf litter, etc... with a bottom door for removing the mulch for tomatoes, peppers, etc...

Tossed in a few old potatoes last year.

They sprouted, and we had a bunch of very nice little potatoes from them.
