Pet peeves that should be pet peeves

[Disoblige]

When people say the same unique word over again in presentations or speaking with someone in general.

"You just have to be cognizant of the fact. Yeah, agreed, another thing to be cognizant about is...
Some people are not cognizant of it, it's too bad. I make sure to be cognizant when I'm doing that task."

The sentence-engine "no?" is my pet peeve. Where did that come from? I feel like I first heard that only a few years ago. Isn't that some kind of millennial thing?

Nah, the sentence-engine ", no?" has been around for ages, even back when I was in grade school.

Solved:

Swank saves the day. This device works well. Much better than the motorized trimmer I had before.

Even though I can see them no problem (street lights etc)... people who don't turn their lights on at night, just their shitty daytime running lights, but no tail lights...
"my dash lights are on so my headlights and tail lamps must be alight also..." ughhhh

Looks like a legistlative solution to this problem is coming.

In three years, manufacturers will have to build vehicles in one of three ways:

- To have daytime running lights and tail lights that come on automatically when the vehicle instrument panel is illuminated and the car is turned on;
- To have the vehicle automatically turn on headlights, taillights and side marker lights in low light conditions; or
- To have the drivers’ instrument panel stay dark until the driver turns the lights on

While I think this is awesome, and way overdue, there's going to be thousands of cars on the road for years to come that will still be dark at night due to the idiots driving them. Should make a recall required to make the dash dark at night. Or just police the issue more actively.

Well yeah, that's the dream. Good luck though.

This morning in the fog on the way into Edmonton, so many idiots without their lights on :nuts:

[adam c]

I have a few

People who run lights
Minivan drivers, either drive like they're hot shit or have no concept of other people on the road
People on kijiji or other classified sites who post stuff for sale but then don't respond when you contact them

So does this mean DRL's are no longer mandatory? IE if the cars have auto headlghts the lights not be on at all anymore during the day?

Don’t think that’s what it’s saying.

Don’t all auto headlights run the DRLs full time than switch to full power when it gets dark? That’s what my old ford does anyways.

I believe auto-lights means your regular headlights and running lights will automatically come on as needed. We've had this feature in all of our vehicles since 1992.

edit- read the article and it includes the above and two other options but it is good legislation IMO.

The left turn light has gone red, my straight through light is green, and I'm waiting for 3 cars to continue their left turns.

From the article:
To have daytime running lights and tail lights that come on automatically when the vehicle instrument panel is illuminated and the car is turned on;
To have the vehicle automatically turn on headlights, taillights and side marker lights in low light conditions; or
To have the drivers’ instrument panel stay dark until the driver turns the lights on

This will be great moving forward, but it won't help the idiots out there now. Maybe the CPS should do one of those STEP programs for it!!

[killramos]

Cool. Works for me.

But agreed it does nothing to enforce Idiots out there. Number of cars I see in the rod who don’t even have drls is hilarious.

The only issue that I see with this is that headlights will still be off when its raining or snowing.. Lights that turn on automatically with the wipers are a great safety feature.

That is the response I give when someone says something so stupid I don’t quite know how to respond in a way I think they can intellectually handle haha.

[Swank]

^heh, OK that I can let slide, I mean more like:

Passenger "Hey, can we stop off at the bank on the way to the store?"
Driver "Yeah, no, of course buddy"

WTF was the "no" for?!?!
