Pet Peeves- Vent Here! Let me feel your pain.

[AceO]

People who throw garbage out their car window...or littering in general.

People who do not use a turning signal.

People who clip their nails at work or in public...not sure why but it bothers me.

People who think they are special and try to cut in front of me after the light turns green or cut you in line.

People in front of me in line who use exact change when paying and spend 5 minutes looking in their purse for 37 cents.

you see people riding bikes with gears in long beach? everyone rides fixed gear so they can be COOL. and yea, people here don't understand that their jutting out into traffic half the time.

Once you get away from the beach there are less and less cruisers, but that doesn't stop them all from riding in first gear.

They're not cruisers. They're these:



and they're whats cool man. get with it.

my pet peeve is the guy who rides that bike, then goes into trader joes to work his shift, but doesnt roll his pant leg back down, instead he keeps it up his whole shift at work just so everyone knows hes cool. the funniest part is that his pants are so tight they would never touch the chain the first place.

That just reminded me of another 2 of mine that are similiar to these but even worse IMO.

People who throw cigarette butts out their car window (it's still littering asshole)
People who still pay with drymounting checks in this day in age. get a god damn debit card! unsurprisingly this problem seems to be worst at wal*mart. Probably because they're all kiting and writing bad checks.

And I work at a bank so I KNOW all about people writing checks when they know they don't have the money.

Rush Limbaugh. He just a fat dickhead.

I have others, but i am reading the news right now.

Close talkers, especially at work.

That has brakes on it. Fixie riders around here don't have breakes.

Strongly!

Close talkers, especially at work.

I don't tolerate "close talkers" anymore, after being in the Army I tend to deal with annoying people with complete candor. If a "close talker" approaches me and violates my personal space: 1) I put my hand up-arm extended at full length and 2) tell them to either "Step the fuck back" or "That's close enough Chief" or both, then 3) explain the concept of "personal space" to them.
Desperate times call for desperate measures.

I also call out litterbugs in public and nearly came to blows after calling out a tourist couple that cut me and a dozen other people in line at a casino's main cage in Vegas.

Yeah, I just realized that. It must be the wuss version or something.

I don't let any one person qualify as a pet peeve in my own life, your time here is simply too short to allow any one individual rent that kind of space in your head. I cannot stand a lot of people, actors, politicians, otherwise "famous" people, a couple of EB members, but I never let them get under my skin enough to be anything more than an annoyance.
So Limbaugh is a __________? Whatever, I don't listen to his program, I don't discuss him or his opinons or his agenda. He's not an elected official, so I'm intrigued as to why people put so much stock in his opinions, regardless of their politics. Remember, he only has power when you listen to him or let him anger you.

[kj1nyr]

You speak truth Rye, so I amend my pet peeve.

People who think Rush Limbaugh is relevant annoy me.

[MJBuck]

I put little stock in anything drug addicts have to say anyway... Rush Limbaugh is a drug addict, so his opinion means nothing to me.

[mondiablue]

People who don't yield when turning left on a regular green.
And I like Huell Howser!

[ryefish75]

And I like Huell Howser!

I guess we can let the EB going public have the last word on Huell Howser.

Turn signals are not optional.

and

Turn off the damn lights when you leave the room!
