Dibs Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) People who speak in the third person. Jim Kelly was an egregious participant at this. Dibs doesn't know what you are talking about. (Extra subtle joke for those comic book fans who know my avatar.) People who use the expression "end all be all". The correct expression is "be-all and end-all"......taken from Shakespeare's MacBeth.... <If it were done when 'tis done, then 'twere well it were done quickly: if the assassination could trammel up the consequence, and catch, with his surcease, success; that but this blow might be the be-all and end-all here.> Edited March 4, 2013 by Dibs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerball Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 In the same vein, I am a walker, and when I'm walking I want to keep my pace/stride..........And, then you get the over-cautious drivers who get to a stop sign, see me 20 yards away from the crossing, and stay stopped.............WTF, do you think I'm going to all of a sudden become Usain Bolt and run as fast as possible and get hit by your car...........I will motion them to keep going, and if they are not total dumbasses, they will, and then I'll look to see where there car is when I actually do go across the crosswalk. About half a mile down the road..............Wow - that was a close one! It's probably because you're sporting a full on spandex running suit complete with the hood thingy. One other thing...leave the starting blocks at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowery4 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) Being able to remember my first phone number but not some important (to me anyhow) peoples birthdays. Living in another country, you get a ton of pet peeves. In many cases it is a culture thing... Living in Thailand ones. Girls when you ask how much, say it's up to you. And then get mad. Bathrooms are called toilets here Thai's don't complain about each other (at least not in public) or they lose face, I think they repeat serenity now to themselves or something. They get mad if you get mad enough to complain about something. They say it doesn't matter (or Mai Peng rai) when it matters to you but they have no answer to your complaint or they just don't want to deal with it. They pretend to understand you (in Thai or English) when you say something and they have no idea what you said they just want the agony of speaking with you to end. They drive way worse than Americans. Period. Cops are so low paid they only hassle you to get a bribe. I could go on and on but I think that is enough.

The Big Cat Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Girls at the gym who jack the treadmill gradation as high as it goes, and walk...while holding onto the monitor, thus negating the incline altogether. Guys at the gym who walk over to the dumbbell rack, grab their dumbbells and proceed to do their exercise without moving, thus blocking anyone from accessing any of the dumbbells or replacing any of the dumbbells in the space in front of them.
