what's your pet peeve

I don't have a pet peeve. I've got a whole kennel.

Btw, 14tokihorn, you couldn't be more wrong. The first car has the right of way and if there is any doubt, then the car to your RIGHT has the right of way and the order proceeds in a clockwise manner. There is no specific law, but that's the ettiquette that is taught and (sometimes) observed and this may be why the process is irksome to you.
 
That's BS. The car that gets there first, should leave first. Only in case of a tie does the lefthand car get to go first.
Groceries stores are repositories of pet peeves. Hard to go to HEB without a major irritation happening in the parking lot, the aisles, or the checkout stand.
I'll add one of mine-move your shopping cart over to the right side of the aisle if you are stopping to peruse the prices of 463 bottles of pickles, asshat. I don't enjoy waiting on you to make this major life-changing decision. There is room to pass by peaceably in the grocery, just pull over to the curb when you stop.
 
Mea culpa, Nick is right.... looked it up from TxDot.

I'm too genereous to the other drivers, but I still will not waste time analyzing some 10ths of a second to determine who got there 1st.

In that case I have no peaves.
 
Some poster had a sig to the effect that anybody can pee on the floor, but it takes a real hero to crap on the ceiling. Anybody can share their peeves about parking and shopping. If you don't have them, then you are a zen master or aren't paying attention. That wasn't meant to be snarky as much as it was a voice of solidarity.

I had one of my peeves thrust in my face last weekend at the fireworks store (not really shopping related) when they asked me to sign some petition noting my support for the continued sale of 1.8g (or something) fireworks. Nothing wrong with that, but they added ******** at the end that our troops fighting in wherever gave their lives to secure us this freedom. NO THEY DIDN'T, you pandering fuckstick. Invoking the troops for all kinds of ******** cheapens their actual deeds.

One other pet peeve is the dork who sees a number on his caller ID and just HAS to call and ask why I called. I don't know, why don't you speak to my *** (I actually don't have a problem with butt dialing). Sometimes even friends do it. Look, if I wanted to leave a message to call me back, I would have.

Another is when people are talking and throw out that Jim or Sue or someone (common first name only) said or did this or that and fully expect that I know who the hell they are talking about.

I'll quit on this one. It absolutely pisses me off when you allow your dog to jump on or, much more importantly, LICK ME! I haven't done this yet, but I will one day when I say "You know, I'm sure that neither one of us would be too keen on your wife licking me, so get your dog's filthy mouth away from me". And don't give me that tired old ******** about dog's mouths being cleaner than humans. It's not true and even if it was, it's still a filthy thing to share fluids with a dog. If I want to rassle with your dog, I will do so, but it will be MY choice, not your dog's.
 
I hate when people call me "guy" or "slick" when they address me. I also hate people constantly tapping me on the arm when they talk to me.
 
I can't believe I forgot one of my biggest peeves - packaging. You buy a pair of scissors and you need, well, a pair of scissors to get the package open. All these products that come with their own ziploc seal, but never work seal, or worse, just tear apart. Bought a package of accessories for an air compressor and I had to use tin snips to get all the pieces out. Every single little piece (24 of them) had its own little compartment that had to be cut open. Maybe it's the lawyer in me, but I can't help but believe that many of these plastic packages are inherently and unreasonably dangerous.
 
I really hate the term "supermodel" because it is massively overused. Where are the regular "models" these days? Every freakin' model is now referred to as a "supermodel". Kinda takes the impact off of the superlative connotation IMO.
