People who sit at 10-second turn signals while on their phone, causing everyone behind them to miss the light. You’re behind a truck/van and can’t see the light, so you don’t know to sit on your horn and no one else will.
Do you have a Pet Peeve (Part II)
- Thread starter Bazza
- Start date
SOP at all repair shops, worse at dealerships. First appointment, warrantied first oil change/tire rotation (had to schedule a month out), arrived at 7, left at 10:30.
You either decide to waste a morning or arrange alternate transportation. For an oil change. I only did it because it was free; next one is too but I’ll probably pay for it at Tire Express.
The "disrespected" club that seems a lot of people are in nowadays. I've heard it a lot from professional athletes (which is not surprising), and from people in the general public. "They" are always disrespected, but the one common thing I've noticed about these types is they never seem to give respect. Funny how that works...

Too much clutter on a TV broadcast. Last night on one show I was watching there were two banners at the bottom plus a side banner.
That's like USING CAPS when writing to someone, isn't it?

My broad pet peeve (or raging disgust) is with people whose entire existence is less than pointless. Their only purpose in life seems to be to cause problems and diminish those around them. They are a net negative on humanity.
A specific example: My wife finished a 24-hour shift this morning. I talked to her as I was driving in to work; she was very upset. Due to staff shortages, she had to work at the inner city hospital (she has to do this occasionally) she left a year ago due to receiving racist and violent treatment from some of the patients.
Last night a woman showed up seven months pregnant. She was in labor and severely bleeding. Her nose and mouth was also covered with cocaine residue. No one had ever seen this patient before. She did not have an OB doctor, so there was no documented prenatal care history. When this happens (and it happens far too often), the staff has to scramble to run every test imaginable because there is no history with this patient. The irresponsibility causes a major strain on an understaffed unit.
Aside from the obvious problems, this woman was very demanding and combative and wouldn't listen to the people who are giving her free care and trying to save her baby's life. Every other word out of her mouth was either profanity or racism or threats of violence. Her daughter was delivered via emergency c-section. She was very underweight and very sick. No doubt the mother had been using drugs her entire pregnancy. It is unclear if the little girl will survive. And, even if she does, what kind of life can she possibly have? And this woman apparently has three other young children. And considering she is in her early 20s, she'll like continue to breed for another 20 years.

It is - why do you think so many do so poorly in English?The word - reciprocate - must not be on modern day vocabulary tests
Your wife and the rest of the staff must have "disrespected" her

Bodhi - sorry to hear your wife had/has this to deal with along with the staff at her medical center.
I don't think the public has any idea what actually goes on in that line of work.
The ones that do are the ones who actually work there or have received services there.
FWIW.....I have the utmost respect for the medical providers I have come into contact with. They are like angels and IMHO there are many humans who do not deserve their wonderful care and expertise.
First responders in general are the real heroes out there.
Please tell you wife we appreciate her. And give Mom a hug from Baz, too, if you can...
How about people who post photos of their food on social media.
I mean....most of the time the food looks disgusting anyway.
We don't need to look at what your eating!

I visit my Mom every weekend, and I'm going to see her shortly. This will not be the first time I've talked to her about "Bazza and his Australian shepherd pups." She doesn't remember the stories, but in the moment of the retelling, they make her happy.And give Mom a hug from Baz, too, if you can...
Thank you.....you are a good son, Bodhi!I visit my Mom every weekend, and I'm going to see her shortly. This will not be the first time I've talked to her about "Bazza and his Australian shepherd pups." She doesn't remember the stories, but in the moment of the retelling, they make her happy.
Sounds a lot like the situation with my Mom!
Not Australian Shepherds......they are Australian Cattle Dogs.
Also known as Heelers.
From Nov. 2008 - Mom visiting her grand furballs.......
People who go on vacation (or otherwise are on road trips) and don't want to experience local activities or eat local food.
This is something I'll never understand and Lily just experienced this oddity over the weekend. While in NYC for a school field trip, she and a few friends used their personal time to do as much sightseeing as possible. They hoped on the subway and ate at restaurants in Chinatown and Little Italy. They also had meals at a Banh mi shop and a Jewish deli. They also took in a Broadway play.
Most of Lily's classmates? They ate at the hotel or at the Starbucks on the same block. Tell me you're a lame arse without telling me you're a lame arse. SMH.

This is more of a work rant than anything. It 'irks" me beyond belief when I'm told to research and "make a decision" on how something should be handled regarding my realm of work. Then after I've literally spent an entire workday researching the "issue" and making a decision on how to proceed, another department says "No we're going to do it this way" and my department head not saying one word about it.
I told our department head that it is a professional insult (to me) to allow that to happen and going forward I would appreciate if something of that nature would just be given to the department that was going to make the ultimate decision, to begin with, especially if they're not even going to consider the research invested.
