The "Pet Peeve" Dump

[waday]

People who stand against your cube while talking loudly to others.

People who have no respect for personal space.

People who post their pet peeves publicly.

Uh... hypocrites.

I only have one pet peeve and it's drivers who leave too much space between them and the car in front of them in bumper to bumper traffic. MOVE UP!!!!!! oops sorry, not what this thread is about but just got back from dropping a friend off at the airport and still experiencing some post traffic road rage.

They DO move up. Even when there's 50 cars ahead of them, all stopped at a read light, they insist on creeping forward a few inches, then stop again. Then creep ahead a bit more, then stop. Then creep ahead a bit more, then stop again. Then creep ahead a bit more, then stop again. Then creep ahead a bit more, then stop again. Then creep ahead a bit more, then stop again. Then creep ahead a bit more, then stop again. Then, when the car in front of them actually starts to move, they're too busy checking their hair or dinking around with their cell phone or digging in their purse they just sit there.

Hahahaha I probably qualify. My car has a manual transmission, and in summer traffic around here I like to keep a couple car lengths in front of me so I don't have to ride the clutch and first gear too much. I'd much rather leave space and never have to stop rolling. Don't worry though, people like y'all cut me off all the time 'cause they see the space.

In all seriousness though...I drove in stop and go traffic for 45 miles on Sunday (mm 20 in on I95 in Maine to I495 in Mass.) My feet and legs were killing me by the time I could actually drive. It might be time to give up my sporty little Mazda.

I traded in my standard transmission years ago when I had a heavy traffic commute to/from work! So much nicer to have less to do during the drive.

Do peeves make good pets, and are they more active than my ferrets?

A pet rock is more active than your ferret!

I've seen pet rocks more active than your ferrets...

Hey... Banana-breath... get outta my head!

Wow.. it's so roomy in here. ECHO! Echo echo....

It's a nice space. Needs a bit of feng shui though.

Can't. Doctor put me on a special diet. Hey, I can probably get Pix's ferrets to do that for you.. well, if we can get them to stay awake long enough.

Yeah, that'll happen!

People who "bump" their own threads on here. They don't get that people have seen it, no one cares move on

The trick is to hide the bump. Add an extra fact, maybe throw in a pic you "forgot" and the classic, "thanks for the comments" post.

I hate when people correct you for something insignificant, like if you say 'good morning, ' and the person checks his watch announcing it is 12:02 so it's afternoon !!!

There should be no space between the comma and the single quotation mark after the word morning. And the g in good should be capitalized.

Capitalization helps too.

There's a difference between "Helping my uncle, Jack, off his horse," and "Helping my uncle jack off his horse."
