Pet peeves that should be pet peeves

People that post their cars on kijiji and write that they've dropped the price just for today!!! Price will go back up tomorrow. Ya okay buddy, good luck with that. So if it doesn't sell at your lower price you're gonna raise it back up higher?

corollary: people who post on Beyond with a "beyond price."

Oh, you marketing wizard you.

[dirtsniffer]

to be fair, I generally inflate my price on kijiji and may give a more honest expected price on beyond. Haven't sold anything on beyond in a long time mind you.

For instance, had my a6000 listed on kijiji for $500, but really only expected $400 so listed on beyond for $400, ended up selling it for $450 on kijiji.

The size of pies.
As a expat this really upsets me. It really does.
In the UK, I could buy a pack, throw one in the oven, veg, mash & gravey. No problem.
I bought a frozen packet of minced beef and vegetable pies. I have to cook TWO. They are so dam small!! Why? WHHY??!
Midget size pies... friggen hell.

I do this, and the reason I do is to remove some of the expected haggle room from the kijiji price and just represent something closer to my expected actual sale price.

New one for me - was at Costco on the weekend and a lady was standing in the middle of a good parking spot to keep other people from parking there while her husband filled up with gas. She had to have stood there "reserving" the spot for 10 minutes or more.

Remind me of this,

Haha if someone's willing to put in that kind of effort, they deserve the spot IMO.

I kind of agree. If someone wants to literally stand in a parking lot and hold a spot, what is the difference versus if their car was actually there?

It is a bit of a piss off that the spot could be used by someone who needs to go into the store now, but all's fair in love and war.

People who pull into a spot you are waiting to turn into. Now THAT drives me bonkers.

People that post inexpensive vehicles for sale and then say "no test drives". Good luck with that.

Automatic toilet flushers....

Those fuckers leave your shit behind more often than not.. I don't want to look at that or clean up after you.

I travel through Edmonton quite a bit over the years. Always people who drive slow in left lane on Anthony Henday.
Every. Fucking. Time.

That Philips is seriously dropping the ball with their Hue stuff.

Why the fuck don't they have Hue controlled outlets yet? Why the fuck don't they have bulbs that can be turned on and off manually for bedside table lamps etc?

Cunts who park beside you at the back of a parking lot, then ding your car and drive away (yes, I pm’d tomco for advice)

[ExtraSlow]

That's not PDR.

If they can get the dent out without too much paint damage, I can live with touch up paint

Those stereotypes in older “TRD” matrixes (or matrices?). Usually wearing sport sunglasses, middle aged, often balding skinny dudes with clean shaven heads and a fleece jacket, driving like they’re some type of hot shit...... no......just no

I like when you're trying to unscrew a coax cable, and you turn it half a turn and then try to turn it another half a turn, and it just screws itself right the fuck up again. I haven't used those cables in a long time but I was locked in a battle of wits with one the other day. Good times.

People that see a cop on the highway and slow down to 15 under the limit.

Inexperienced, know-it-all's too afraid to ask questions related in their job in a work environment. Gotta love it.

Sad thing is when those guys make it into management somehow and they spout bullshit and you look like an insubordinate asshole for correcting them on their bullshit
