Mine are long dead so they don't care. My Father in Law probably sprayed it yellow every time anyway.
OT: Pet Peeves
- Thread starter dukiejay
- Start date
I'm not sure if anyone else has mentioned it yet but probably my biggest pet peeve is when someone says they'll pick you up at a certain time but then they get there to pick you up later than they told you. I had a buddy tell me that he was going to pick me up around 9:30 or 10 but he didn't get to my house until a little after 11 then he ran out of gas sitting in my driveway so we had to call a friend to come pick us up, the worst thing about it is that he had stopped by the store to get cigarettes but didn't make sure that he had enough gas
Here is something close to that -- people who do NOT go to the stop bar at a red light. Instead they hang back a car length or two and never activate the traffic loops under the street. Man I hate that.

Here's something else close to that as well, when people stop in the crosswalk which causes people to have to walk around their car to cross the street.
Any tardiness. I've fired people because of it.
OFC
I've heard it said it is the ultimate sign of vanity. I have an ex that was never on time for anything. That adage applied to her, haha.
Eh. At work, yes, or for things that require a precise time, like picking someone up. Not for, like, a party, though. Or dinner at someone's house. I find it polite to be at least a little late then, because you know people are running around at the last minute, getting everything done.
People who think it's polite to be late to a scheduled dinner time.
Nothing like it.In fact I have my Crocs on right now with a pair of footie socks on right now and it feels so good. Wish you could see me dbav.. OFC
But if you need to do more than pee and its up and you sit you might get a hind end bath.
Yep, I have a little blue devil night light in mine, present from one of my kids...
And grocery stores WAITING for you to get to the check out line to say "find everything ok today," but when you are out in LF looking around never coming up w/"help you find something sir?"
i don't return my cart to the parking lot corral... I return it and EXTRA carts all the way to the freakin store! Why? Well, I'm glad you asked. It's to build good will with the bag boys so they'll turn the other way when I ring up rib-eyes as bananas at the self-checkout station.
Ooh! Ooh! I've got one! Passive-aggression from people who claim to have you on "Ignore."
Never had you on ignore buddy. You claimed to have me on ignore. I still consider you a good friend datt.
People who think duct tape is spelled duck tape.
Anyone who claims that an athlete gives 110 percent. Like dividing by zero. Impossible.
People who don't agree that the plural of RBI is RBIs. Kids these days.
And analogous to "scoring the ball" [K says this all the time] is a baseball team "plating a run." College-baseball-SIDs evidently get paid a bonus for using this. As if "scoring" a run somehow isn't good enough after 160 years.

When the milk tastes like $#!T and there's still 2 days left on the exp. date.
You just described my family when we get together at Thanksgiving and Christmas, the only difference is that in my family, if we were supposed to eat at 1, there will be family members that will show up 2+ hours late
Yup, that's just disrespectful. now, i don't mind if they say beforehand can't make it , or we'll be late. But if they say they'll be there then come in late for a big homecooked meal, pisses me off.
the wife never let's me comment on it but recently , i went over the wall. she was trying to keep it all warm for almost an hour, they all walk in and me? Hey! Glad you guys could make it ! we are so blessed ! Your mom only had to cook for 4 hours then keep it warm for another hour, let's eat, I'm starved. The last two visits HAVe been punctual.
Q. What do you want for dinner?
A. I don't know, what do you want?

In defense of "duck" tape, there's a brand that capitalizes on that, using a duck on its label.
So with you on the 110% thing.
It's RsBI.
I've grown to like "scoring the ball." Passing, shooting, and defending the ball are fine. I like how "scoring the ball" is distinct from guys who shoot well but require others to set them up perfectly.
When my wife and I go to a restaurant and" the host/hostess asks "Just Two?"
One of these days I'm going to respond with something along the lines of "I'm sorry. I didn't realize that two was inadequate. Give me a few minutes and I'll see if I can find some total strangers to join our party."

OK -- I hate when I am on a highway and for some reason the guy in the left lane decides to play "Let's make a blockage" with the guy in the right lane.
I said this a few pages ago, it annoys the helllll out of me!
