Pet Peeves (Anything Goes)

I had a couple of pet peeves, but I just divorced them now I'm happy!
 
Crappy non-boating threads on a boating forum. I can read and hear that crap all day long elsewhere. I wanna read about boating stuff only on a boating forum.
 
Bill, from the number of responses to non-boating threads I think you might be in the minority on CSR.

Got to love GA.
The Georgia law states that a driver shall not drive at “such a slow speed as to impede the normal and reasonable movement of traffic.” The law also makes it an offense to remain in the leftmost lane once the driver is aware of a vehicle behind them traveling at a faster speed.

But is that enforced in GA or are there still left lane obliviots on the road?
 
Winter and the mud we deal with here.
I call this region the mud belt.
 
Pet Peeve 1:
People who don't put their shopping carts back after using them. Why is it that most of those folks look like they would most benefit from 50 feet of additional walking? But no, they assume that somehow all parking lots are perfectly level. There should be a special place in hell for these folks.
Maybe they are in a hurry to get back to their Mountain Dew.

Pet Peeve 2A:
Assault on punctuation. I cannot stand reading run-on sentences with no punctuation and no capitalization. If you can't afford the time to add a period once in a while or hit the shift key at the beginning of a sentence, that means your time is more valuable than anyone else who has to wade through your communication garbage. Ugh.

Pet Peeve 2B:
Over punctuation! Somewhat related to Pet Peeve 2B. My wife physically cannot send an email or text without at least three exclamation marks. They are everywhere. It is as if she is paid by the exclamation mark. Save the yelling for when I don't put my shoes away after coming home from work.

And don't get me started on the over-use of the word literally...

Eating dinner with someone who spends almost the entire time looking at their phone.

My wife told my daughter to find your dad and let him know it’s dinner time... she sent me a text and I was in the next room.... I quickly found out that was a trigger for me :)
 
I hate people that walk in downtown Toronto in winter wearing parka's with huge fur hoods over their heads, zero peripheral vision, and are constantly bumping into and stepping in front of people.
#1 Toronto is not that cold that you need to dress like an Eskimo
#2 Look around you when you walk.
#3 And take the earbuds out so at least you have one of your senses available to you as you walk down busy streets.
#4 I find that those Mackage parkas with long fur hoods look "interesting". I wonder if they will ever come out with one with a pink liner?
