The snobbish chuckle of every nerd in my computer classes every time the word "Vista" is mentioned. I get it, Vista sucked, you're still annoying.

People who say to me "Don't be defensive."

I got news for you. If you're gonna go on the offensive with me, I'm going defense, until I can swing it back to me being offensive!

Re: What is your biggest pet peeve?

Now I remember what one of my big pet peeves was:

You know when you're in a parking lot and you're just trying to GTFO, or like you want to at least advance through the lot and you're stuck behind a car because the driver has their blinker on, waiting for somebody to get out of their spot despite the fact that there are like five open spots only a few rows further away from the store? I mean how lazy is America, really? What are a few more steps going to do to you? You're already going to be perusing the store. Meanwhile, I'm just trying to leave.

Sometimes I'm not just trying to leave, though... sometimes they are blocking the only free spot that's available, waiting to take the closer spot. Otherwise, I'm just pissed that I see it even if it's not any of my business.

I said something about this earlier in this thread as well. And ironically, I was at the local Wal Mart today after work and the exact thing you described happened to me. The car in front of me stopped to wait while another person loaded their groceries in their car. I just went around them and gave them a "go to hell" look.

Crap like this is why I avoid the front of parking lots if at all possible. Start at the back and park where there are a ton of open spots. Don't have to deal with pedestrians, shopping carts, picky parkers, and makes it easier to get out later.

The health benefit of doing a little extra walking just ends up being a bonus, something that all of those nasty obese-strosities out there could take advantage of every now and then.

1) Chewing with mouth open/smacking.......drives me into the nuthouse having to listen to someone kill their food.

2) Dirty dishes left in the sink/general clutter collection. I like things in their place, and kept neat, what can I say? Too bad I'm married to the EXACT OPPOSITE personality type, AND have a 3-year old. I have lost this battle, and don't even fight it anymore. Still drives me crazy, though.

Re: What is your biggest pet peeve?

my biggest pet peeve, hands down are bikers who think they have the right of way on the street. Not motorcycle bikers, im talking about the spandex wearing bike helmet, acting like lance Armstrong tools that drive me up a wall. Its like, just passing them drives these people nuts like you are doing something to them. I have literally waited for a wider part of the street so that I dont go near the biker only to have them say something derogatory towards me. They think they are special, and sometimes they roll out like 20 deep in my neighborhood, they dont stop at stop signs and its not even a race. They act like they have the right of way or something and they dont.

I've been through this with my wife, who is a personal trainer and avid cyclist. UNTIL cyclists start registering their bikes with the city/state and start paying into the system that builds/maintains the very roads they ride upon....I will never think they have the same rights as the drivers.

Re: What is your biggest pet peeve?

Beer commercials that depict men as idiots really get to me. the typical scenario plays out with a cute woman that is being pursued by the bumbling idiot that orders some brand of lite beer. It really bugs me that these commercials are successful which in turn means you can find guys like this a dime a dozen.

I think the perfect quality beer commercial would be to have that scenario play out and then have a well together man come tot he bar and order that quality beer and have the woman then express her interest in him.

Re: What is your biggest pet peeve?

People who believe they are allowed to stay in the left/fast lane because they are already going over the speed limit.

That's not how it works.

If the speed limit is 65 and you are going 70 that doesn't mean you can stay there when I come up behind you going 75 to 80.

if i am not mistaken, the guy in front of you is legally obligated to get the **** out of your way if you are going faster in the left lane

Depends on the state.

In any event, it would be nice if people did it regardless.
