"That guy" or girl who knows it all about everything and has to correct everyone on every little trivial thing he/she doesn't think is factually correct? To the point of wanting to punch them in the face.
Do you have a Pet Peeve (Part II)

These speed humps/bumps have to be the most absolute lame idea anyone has ever come up with . 
They've put some in here around town and while I put up with some I tend to take alternative routes to avoid them - and in some cases going through neighborhoods that are not usually used for those traveling through an area.
I see worn areas in the medians where drivers go around them.
Then there's cases as mentioned in the video where a driver rear ends another because all of a sudden they brake for these things.
If something like that happened in my town as a mayor I'd have my city workers out the next day taking it out, I can tell you that.

I may have mentioned this before, but after refueling the lawnmower today, I hate "no spill" EPA approved gas cans.
Get it right, peoples.....
Gregg Allman.........2 g's...not 1.
And Dickey Betts......not Dickie......
Seems appropriate......if not timely........
the crosswalk button at traffic lights. why even have them if they don't actually make the light change?
People who have telephone conversations in public on speaker. They ought to be publicly flogged with the cat of nine tails.
my apartment complex requiring a 60 day notice for leaving. so if I were to hypothetically get a job in another state. I would still have to pay for this stupid place for 2 months and by breaking my lease I also get charged an extra month. now all this despite only having 2 months left on my lease.
Seems pretty reasonable to me. They are running a business.
OK fine. but no apartment will hold a place for 60 days. every single time I have had to move, I have had to give a 60 day notice with no place to move to.
my problem with this stupid rule now is I only have 2 months left. If I left tomorrow, I would still get charged for the 2 months plus a third month for "breaking my lease"
So you just tell them you're not reupping and are moving out at the end of your lease. You save the third month.
I rented for years before buying, moving many times, and never had a problem following the notice rules and avoided overlapping rents. No idea what it is like where you are, but rental turnover was high enough where I lived that it wasn't a problem. Just made for a busy month.
If only two months are left on the lease you aren’t breaking the lease if you say you are leaving in two months. That’s the end of the lease.
Reason #578,217 that I now know I'm getting old. I have no idea why people who receive a gift for a baby shower, wedding, or graduation do not send a thank you card. Most of these types of gifts are pretty nice and if they were worth the time to send them an invitation, then I think they are worth the time to send them a Thank You card for the gift. Because let's be honest, a lot of invitations like these are (in part) for the gifts.
I learned a long time ago how easy it is to send someone a thank you card/note. I have about 10 different style cards to choose from on my correspondence shelf.
I also bought a roll of smiley stickers and usually include a few of those - plus one on the envelope flap.
Most of this stuff boils down to a choice on how you want to carry yourself. 🤷â€Â♂ï¸Â
The older I get and the more "younger people" are running businesses I'm starting to find it harder and harder to come across people who speak on the phone rather than text the entire business communication over a phone. It is hard for me to fathom there are multitudes of people who grew up mainly communicating over text or some form of "chat" than in person or actually talking on the phone. But it is very true and it is very frustrating.
I've been texting a guy for two days over something that literally a less than 10 minute conversation would handle. But he "doesn't like talking on the phone". Pansy...

In doing transactions that start from classifieds - in my case buying a motorcycle off CL or FBMP - the first message I send includes my phone number & a request to call me so we can discuss things over the phone. Whenever I get a call back - it's usually a sale. There have been times when they continued to send messages instead of calling and it's very aggravating and a time sucker when things could move along much smoother on the phone.
Some folks will leave their number in their ad - sometimes it's one of the photos in the classified. I would gravitate towards those ads more than others because that seller is a communicator. I don't know what the other's are....
This is what eats at me because there are times a text conversation will stretch over two days that could have been handled in a five minute conversation. It is very, very frustrating. I'm dealing with a roofer like this presently. I'm about at my wit's end with him and ready to move on.
People who should know better not understanding the english language

Hey ... let's not bunch all our pet peeves up in one wad. 😄
We need space to process them one at a time.
FWIW, I agree with you 110%

My problem with apartment living...you get a deal from them, say $100 off, to sign on and move in but after the first year they go up $100. The next year the same...they keep going up on your rent regardless of whether you are good, on-time paying renter. So, they prioritize new renters over keeping existing ones. Finally got fed up with that and bought my first townhome. Never looked back.
