Pet Peeves

[revo]

if you want to abbreviate the year when speaking, don't call it "0'12." If you want to say it that way, it's just called '12. There's no three digit abbreviations for years, sorry. 0'12 makes you sound ridiculous. 2007 wasn't called "0'07."

Also, try not to drag out the year as long as possible. It's not Two Thousand AND Twelve, yawn. Call it "Twenty Twelve" and save yourself two syllables. A majority will be using "Twenty" soon enough, time to get on board.

People leaving things sitting around the bathroom sink taps ... toothpaste, make up, bottles and canisters of various sorts. I'm not a good morning person ... I typically zombie my way into the bathroom, turn the tap, sh!t goes flying into the sink and onto the floor. Grrrrr

People walking on the streets when there's a sidewalk there. Makes the street a lot narrower for cars coming through

Drivers who, after they signal for a lane change, drift over to the next lane so slowly it's as if they're piloting a 747.

At least they used their signal. Most people don't anymore. Too busy I guess.

[JudeBaldo]

People that don't bus their own tables at fast-food joints.

People who, when they approach a red light, go into the right turn lane, turn and immediately do a U-Turn, turn right back onto the roadway, and continue down the road.
People who think the yield sign they come up to means that everyone else will yield to them.
People who signal they are turning AS they are turning. It's almost as if they think they have to tell the car to turn at that exact moment. Really, at that point it's too late for me to react accordingly.
People who will zip into the left lane, zoom past me, immediately turn back into my lane, then turn right...all in a matter of about 6 seconds. That 2 seconds you saved...I hope it was valuable.


I really have about 20 pet peeves when it comes to stupid driving...but it's too late to list them all.

[bryanbutler]

people who tip too much and then everybody expects the rest of us to match it. :O

but, more seriously, people on their phones when driving. either talking or texting. sheesh. like you can't wait the few minutes it's going to take you to get where you're going to take the call or make the text (or even the hour or so)? /facepalm

Your location says you're located in Bel Air so I'm sure you are familiar with the terrible drivers in Westwood. They are God awful.
