Pet Peeves (MEGA THREAD)

[Masked Bandit]

People who are chronically late.

Parents who can't be bothered to help out with their kid's sports team / group activity when volunteer help is needed for things to run smoothly.

[dirtsniffer]

^and they are the first to complain that things aren't going smoothly.

Le sigh, lolwut, u mad bro, butthurt, jelly, douche canoe, bromance, meh, threw up in my mouth, wait what, no just no, facepalm, that's what she said.

I hate all of that, not because it was never funny in the first place, just for the fact that it's repeated so often.

U mad bro?

LulZ!

This x1200.

If youre a cyclist and you can stay ahead of me, then by all means, get ahead of me and we'll both get on with our lives.

However, if you squeeze past me then I get stuck behind you 10 seconds after the light turns green (cause I don't drive like an asshole and get my rocks off by having close brushes with cyclists), you can go eff yourself you self righteous narcissistic asshole.

Yeah, I cycle to work but I'll never cut in front of a car and hold up everyone else. If I'm riding on the road and there are cars in front of me at a stop, I'll pull up behind them as if I'm in a motor vehicle. I don't care if you go around and pass me, but I am not riding on the curb unless it's a really wide lane. I've tried to be courteous to drivers in the past by riding along the curb, but I've been run off the road enough times that I'm more concerned about my safety now than you getting where you need to get a few seconds sooner.

While on the topic of cyclists, when you're riding on the path and there's pedestrians/joggers in the oncoming "lane" (for a lack of a better term) and the cyclist behind them passes them by cutting into your lane. Rather than pulling back onto their side and waiting until it's clear to pass the pedestrians/joggers, they continue riding on your side of the path towards you and the rest of the oncoming cyclists and they act like you're in their way.

My bad.

Ungh, people who use that need to learn to become normal, functional adults.

You bros are soooo butthurt

[Wakalimasu]

people trying to or turning left while the sign clearly states no left turns during rush hour.. ><

im talking about all you fuckers on centre street

[4runneron36s]

Just Energy door to door salesmen/scammers. "Sir, I can save you thousands in carbon taxes if you just let me look at your gas bill.....". Guy was a pushy "new Canadian" so I was a little more patient than I usually am.

Oh, and I take Memorial eastbound to Deerfoot north everyday, and the exit lane backs up pretty badly. It pisses me off to no end when people try to cut in front either at the lights or across the solid white line. I never let anyone in and usually play games with people who try to force their way in. If I have to wait then they have to wait.

Amen. Anyone who thinks otherwise can eat a dick while I make you wait behind me.

I refuse to use centre street between 12th ave and 16 ave because of this, it's faster to whip up to Edmonton trail or 4th street west

Honk endlessly till they move. If there's a car between you and offending car, honk endlessly at that car for not honking at offending car. The answer is always more honk.

4th Ave downtown is the worst.

Finding the ice cube tray(s) with one or two ice cubes in them and several trays in this same state. Is it that difficult to refill an ice cube tray or is it something that just befuddles some people. Quite annoying when four trays have a grand total of ten or so ice cubes amongst them when full they can provide 56.

[ExtraSlow]

Ice Maker in the fridge solves that problem.

Ran into this again today. Places that don't open early. Now that I'm an old guy, I can't sleep in, and I'd like to get out and get shit done first thing in the morning. Rolled up to my local safeway at 7:01am today, sign on the door says they open at 8:00 seven days a week. I'm sure this is somewhat new, I can recall going in early before work before.

- Small talk

- Seniors at the bank, or at any other teller for that matter.

I have an acquaintance who also happens to be a teller at my bank. The tellers are well aware of the "weather" and "grand kids" problem, but they have to grin and bear it. The best they can do is tactfully make statements that hint at, "There are 20 people in line, so please just shut up and go"

[schocker]

Shitty parkers. Had 8 people parked in the middle of my culdesac yesterday along with cars poking into everyone's driveway for someone's house warming or something.

No, Safeway has been 8am as long as I can remember. Superstore opens at 7, not sure about others...

Aren't you an IT guy? You have to hate small talk and be anti-social to be IT right? Im j/k'ing

If you do small talk right, it is amazing how you can work it to help people open up/be more receptive to you. Supet handy in business, great way to meet contacts.

"That weather doe", yea, that shit is awful.
