Pet Peeve: I go to the beverage store, buy a 12 pack of IPA or some other beer and never check the packaging.  I pay for it, get home and there’s only 11 in the pack! Pisses me off. Happens frequently. 

People who can't count to 12 piss me off.

If a car left Hammers lot at 30 mph headed for the airport, how many miles would they go before somebody had to pee? 

 

Is that more your style of math? I know it is mine!

2.6 miles.  Just far enough that you are on the highway with no place to easily pull over until you reach the airport exit.

'Toons

In the "grand scheme of things" the pleasure craft that peeve me the most:

 

#1: Sailboats... What is it with their personality? Always the victim, bicycles on water.  They can't stay put, motor in circles and feign they can't control the damn thing.

 

#2: 'Toons, pontoon boats... What's up with these.  Like a floating Honda Fit with a big deck for the masses. They're just funny looking.

 

#3: Bassboats, no common sense.  Finding fish at all cost and getting in the way is their sole purpose in life.  Like taking a car and parking it in the middle of I-94 during rush hour "because that's where the fish are!" SEE: #1, Sailboats without fishing rods.

Good 👉 point!

you left off wake boats— those are the bane of my existence.  Create a ton of wake and make it impossible for everyone else around them.

Expecially always pisses me off., expecially when it's some sonofabitch talking head.  There's no ***** X in the word.

Someone sounds like they could use an expresso.

What are those?  Google it right now!  Oh no! I BET THEY'RE COMING!

JC!  This will get someone killed or cause extensive shoreline, property, or occupational hazards,  damage!

My pet peeve is that when you go into supermarkets in poor neighborhoods, they have the condoms in a locked cabinet.

 

If anything, they should be handing out a free condom with every purchase. What do they want more poor people in their neighborhood that will come in and shoplift from them? If a person in a poor socio-economic situation has the foresight to keep a raincoat at the ready, let’s applaud them and not put roadblocks up in their pursuit of proper family planning.

[Another Fan]

People that need to speak (usually negatively) about others in order to prop themselves up

How do you know they are propping themselves up?  Maybe they are really being critical of themselves.

Or, like buying a lottery ticket or the days before Social Security... Have a ton of children and hope one "makes it out."  Then the kid supports the parent.

 

Do you want to deny them that "lottery ticket?" Gotta be in it to win it.  And poor people ain't just dying off. The parasitic system needs them.

I think it’s best to just feel sorry for those types of people. They don’t hurt you at ALL, they just embarrass themselves. Embrace that truth and life gets better.  I promise.

Not in coast guard.

 

We spend a lot of time on a smallish like— about 400 acres. The wake boats have really taken over, and it is a headache. If someone wants to kayak, sail, water ski, even jet ski— the wake boats really cause a headache. Maybe they have a less of an impact in a huge lake. But on a small lake!!— I am worried about the erosion and disturbance of the properties plus the pain in causes others on the water. 

[unbillievable]

People who leave a tiny bit of food/drink so they don't have to clean or throw away the container.

 

Just this week the cereal box only had a couple spoonfulls left, the pizza box only had 1 slice, and the Chinese takeout only had vegetables left in the container...

 

...and what crazy person only eats HALF a hotdog bun?

[Rockpile233]

People buying Paul brother fights. 

[Just Jack]

When one particular person in my office places the lunch order. They always screw up something with mine.  And it's not like I'm asking for a lot, a simple sub with no lettuce and a diet soda.  Got my order today and it had extra lettuce and a plain soda.

We used to have fences for home runs. If the ball ended up on the other side of the fence it was a home run. Pretty simple really. Now we have walls with home run lines and more stadiums where fans can interfere. As a result, all too often we need an instant replay review to determine if it was a HR or not.

That woman in front of you in the checkout line who has to find that penny for payment. Purse diving 201.

Or the one who pays by check and doesn't even reach for the checkbook and start writing anything until the cashier gives the total.

That one neighbor whose yard always looks like sh!t. The fact that that neighbor is usually me changes this pet peeve not one bit.

[BringBackFergy]

Name droppers: “Hey Fergy, I met this great guy who you should hang with some time. He’s pretty cool and super intelligent”. Uhhh, yeah, I know him and he’s not that bright. Or “I had drinks with (insert name of self proclaimed famous/cool/affluent person)”. Great, I don’t like most people, and he’s on that list. 

[US Egg]

People with a months worth of groceries for their family using the self checkout lane, and inevitably needing assistance.

[Johnny Hammersticks]

I can’t stand when people in my house leave their stank ass sweaty underwear wadded up in their pants when I’m trying to do the laundry.  My son is the main culprit.  He also always leaves his stinky socks inside out.  Drives me nuts.

What’s the deal with these intellectual types who have a “Book Shelter” outside their house? They leave their books in there inviting people to take them for free and read. So it’s basically a “LAMR” (Look At Me Read) trap so you can be impressed with their catalog of books. F%#! that!! I’ll read what I want and donate my books to the library.

She pales before the individual who needs 12 debit card transactions by June 25th to earn interest on her checking account, and is buying 12 cans of cat food - each rung up as individual debit card transactions.  At 5:30 pm with a long line backing up.

Parking spots reserved in front of grocery stores for “Expectant Mothers”, “Employee of the Month”, “Veterans Who Didn’t Serve Overseas but Were Honorably Discharged”, “Women Whose Maiden Name Starts with “L”, etc.??? I’m cool with Handicapped parking, but everyone else needs to park and walk. All those spots are empty (I assume ladies whose maiden names don’t start with “L” are likewise pissed).

On a related note:

 

I can't stand the people who park right outside the grocery store entrance.  It's usually some white trash 'neck whose morbidly obese wife with a better beard than Josh Allen's just got done shopping.  Heaven for ***** bid she walks her ass to the 2003 Grand Caravan.  Nope.  After all, it is THEIR world, right?

1. People who dress completely inappropriately for the weather, and then want the heating or air conditioning set to ridiculous levels so that they can be comfortable while everyone else suffers.

2. People who live in areas of extreme cold or extreme heat, and then complain about the extreme cold or extreme heat.

I park in those spots if I’m in a hurry.  There’s no law protecting parking spots reserved for anyone but the handicapped, so I view those designations as “suggestions” rather than limitations.

Josh Allen's beard is my pet peeve.  Common Joshy, shave that ***** if it's the best you can do.

The Family in front who has to checkout separately because they have their own items in the same cart.

 

I thought I only had one in front of me... not four! They can't just have one person pay and settle the debt in the car?

Not when they all are using EBT. 

[SinceThe70s]

Co-workers whose greatest contribution to the common good is calling meetings. 

 

This probably rises above the level of pet peeve for me but if I start a thread about things that p!ss me off right now I might come off as a bit unhinged.
