Pet Peeves That Shouldn't Be Pet Peeves

[Hallowed_point]

-People who flick their turn signal so it flashes once as they've already started to change lanes. No shit your switching lanes, I noticed that before you did the quick signal.

-fobs at the mall who walk 4 or more abreast all on their iphones not paying attention. And that, is why the shoulder check was invented lol.

-When you give you order at tim hortons and say that's it and they ask anything else? Happens often.

-douche bags that wear sunglasses inside.

When the porn I click on titled "amateur threesome", turns out to be the wrong kind of threesome.

I think you guys missed the point of this thread. Most of these are pet peeves that bug everyone.

I already typed out something to that effect, but then realized no one on Beyond actually reads 1/2 the posts anyways, and wouldn't get it.

Incorrect toilet paper roll installation... it should be over not under. It drives me insane, I've flipped the roll around in hotels and public restrooms. It must be my OCD because it shouldn't bug me so much versus sitting down and not having any paper on the roll.

*People parking where they shouldnt - case in point my thread yesterday.

* Also every fucker that parks in the right hand lane of 6th between 1st st se and center st.

Seriously though the bow should have some fucking parking zone between 3.30 and 6pm - its not like they don't have the real estate for that.

* People who txt and drive

* Soccer moms tailgating me in Aspen/Classy west area.

* My dog licking its lips at 3am in the morning every goddam day.

- Drivers stopping 10000 ft back and slowly creeping up until the light turns green instead of just stopping at a reasonable distance
- Drivers who stop a city bus length back, especially in rush hour
- Buses who just force their way in
- Drivers that don't enter the road way when they are able to to speed things up
- People at the gym who don't put their weights away and or wipe down equipment
- People who complain that 60 km/h is too fast for shaganappi
- Shagnappi in general over stoney
- 10th Bike Lane
- Hipsters making higher ground smell bad
- Tim Hortons seaming your lid so it spills everywhere
- Tim Hortons not having whole grain raspberry muffins anymore
- Wendys is so far away from my office
- People who drive in the middle of the alley along the train tracks on 9th street so I can't get into my parking lot

Mostly driving for now!

to the toilet paper

Deerfoot northbound at Glenmore during morning rush hour. Those in the far right lane that ends. People stay in this lane knowing that it ends, yet traffic backs up because people in the middle lane have to let them in, so the traffic backs up because of this... so people stay in the right lane trying to get ahead of the jam.... which only further compounds the problem.
So I always used to stay in the middle lane and tailgate the person in front of me to not let any of those cock suckers in.

Agreed on all of those. Especially dog licking its lips at 3 AM. My JRT smacks his lips like crazy- shut up creature!

My wife was taking driver's ed a few years back and when we went out to practice, she stops like a car and a half's length to the car in front, I said 'wth is this, a stopping distance for elephants?' she said this is what they teach in driver's ed, apparently the 'close enough that the other car's rear wheels are visible on the edge of your hood' rule doesn't apply anymore, embarassing sitting in the passenger seat half a km away from the car in front of you at a stop light.

Just even Deerfoot by itself at around 6:15am is complete bs, people in the left lane, who stay in the left lane from Glemore until maybe 16th ave doing 100-110 the whole damned way, the middle lane passing them even.

every fucking day for me coming home. Let's paint lines across it at 3 am so that people can't use it period haha. They usually pin in at 100 km hr and butt in under the bridge slowing everyone down.

^yeah, it's the same thing heading south at afternoon rush hour at southland. Fuck I wish they'd remove those merge lines so these selfish idiots didn't have that option

[CompletelyNumb]

When people stir their coffee and hit the mug with their spoon 100 times. It's like nails on a chalk board.

When people sip their coffee loudly and follow it with an "ahhhhhh" every time.

Oops I'm thinking of Glenmore after the turnoff to Crowchild N/S. Stupid bonus lane that people use to try and cut around everyone. Just makes for a cluster fuck under the bridge,

[Graham_A_M]

^that too, there are tons around the city, so I know I'm missing tons of them.

I see some pretty good ones usually on shag commuting. Best one I have seen lately was longer than a city bus. It was very tempting to move into the spot to see if they would reverse but the car infront of me was too far back to do so

You need to be stopped far enough back, that if you need to, you can maneuver around the vehicle in front of you, generally that is when you can see the tires.

This thread should be called "Do you have un-diagnosed OCD" haha

I will contribute though:

- Obvious one that everyone hates: When there is a 4 car length distance between vehicles on an advanced green turn (especially in the morning on the way to work/rush hour)

- My own personal weird one: Junk drawers. I f#cking hate junk drawers. You know, when you go to open it and things start popping out like a jack in the box...then you can't close it without reorganizing it etc.

I can't believe anybody would give that any amount of thought... I replace a roll however it ends up as I grab it out of the wrapping...

What pisses me off is the hot water tap taking so long to get hot. I turn the water on and go do something else because standing there waiting for the water to get hot makes me wanna Hulk smash lol
