My pet peeve is people who keep a cell phone glued to their face 24/7... ;) ('cause if ya can't stand to spend an hour with yourself, why would I want to spend an hour with you.) Post 'em if ya got 'em! and I know ya got 'em... It may not be 1984 but George Orwell sure did see the future . . . |

My pet peeve is those who have the %%%%%%% glued to their face while driving...... Yesterday, on the way over to Lori's place, some SOB in a SUV blew through a stopsign on a cross street in front of me....... Locked 'em up and missed the (expletive deleted) by about six inches........ Roared right by like nothing happened. I turned about and followed him for about 20 blocks.....just to make sure the bloke was not driving drunk or sumpthin'... And you wanna know what really pissed me? When I finally caught up with the $%@@# and gave him the evil eye, he still had the cell glued to his ear and gave me a look like.....'what's up, doc?' Still frosted 'bout that one.....he could have killed me. And I certainly could have killed him at that point.............. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

My neither. I get sideway looks, because I only drink at home. Pluto will always be a planet to me. Seti Ambassador Not to late to order an Anni Shirt |

LOL.....my neighbors look at me oddly now and again as I ramble out to the mailbox.......after having been playing my tunes at warp 9 all day at a few hundred watts or so....... But as long as I keep it to daylight hours, they are pretty cool about it. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

My pet peeve is again people who think they can do other things like reading, talking on the cell phone, putting on makeup, and/or texting while driving. I am a professional driver and have been for over 30 years. I take my driving serious, and I expect others to do the same. I have been hit or had near misses by ones that are not paying attention to what they are doing. What you do today you will have to live with tonight |

mmmhh.. do I have one? ;-) ok..the one that has made me most furious the last days; I do have a cell phone. But I also have a house phone. And thats the one that drives me crazy, because It always have to make these horrible sound early on saturday and sunday mornings. Why do some people think that its ok to call peoples Homes just as if it was some kind of an office??? My home is Not, and I would appreciate people to understand that. Specially in the weekends, at least the few i have mostly free. Im sure im not the only one who wake up as of a gun shot of that stupid phone. I learned this when I was a kid; Normal rules for phone use; Dont call peoples homes before 10 am in the morning or after 10 pm in the evening, if its not an emergency, an agreement, or someone you Know Always will be happy to get a phone from you........ :p Lol. Well.. if this is not the case.. then it would be better to leave a message on cell phone. Thank You ;-) |

My pet peeve! How come when people go into A retail establishment they lose all common sense! Example >> While shopping I over heard A person ask the sales clerk is this Pepsi on sale! The only item on the end display was Pepsi with A big sign saying the Advertised price. No other items were on the display. I just want to knock some sense into that person. What is scary is these people vote!!! LETS BEGIN IN 2010 |

I drove linehaul for 20 years. My peeve is meatsticks (usually in a motorhome) who drive slower than the speed limit until they come to a passing lane and then speed up so they can't be passed. GRRRRRRRRRRR Let the tractors get by. |
