Pet Peeve

[F4phantom]

There are some things (actually a lot) that just rub me the wrong way. We just had a rather heavy snowfall. It's been two days and people still haven't cleaned the snow from the roofs and hoods of their cars. How much effort does it take?


You're walking into a building and the person in front of you lets the door slam in your face. I was taught to hold the door for the person behind you if they are close.



You're talking to someone and they are chewing gum like a cow chewing a cud. Generally this is a younger type person. You just want to shove it down their throat.


Getting old is not for the faint of heart.
Rant off

I do not let trivial stuff like this spend any time in my head.

My blood pressure thanks me.

I'm getting better, but still haven't perfected that yet.

In 2020, I want people to let go of the door. If they hold it and I go in, I have to get right up next to them. The fact that “get away from me” is now a public health service announcement is the best part of this year as far as I’m concerned . .

Why would it possibly bother you if someone else’s car has snow piled on it? I cannot figure this one out. Around here, if you don’t need THAT car on THAT day, the sun and rising temperature will take that snow off for you in a day or two.

What did I miss? Why would this even register in your mind?

I used to be like that. Now I'm more of the "mind over matter" attitude. If you don't mind, it don't matter.

A lot of people remove the hood and roof snow by driving the vehicle! Just blow it off and blind another driver.

Are you following other vehicles THAT closely, and doing it in inclement weather?

Sometimes I get the feeling that I could solve a lot of problems for a lot of people.

This is not a serious thread, right?

I’ve tried, but it’s hard to monetize. The ones that need it most are too busy standing in their front yard in their bathrobe hitting their lawnmower with a shovel . . .

When we get a heavy snow, we dig just the 4wd truck out. The little Toyota Yaris just stays buried 'til the snow melts off.

^^^ That right there.

I once had a pet peeve. Unfortunately, it got loose one day and the neighbor's cat ate it.

Because of that very scenario, a law was passed in my area that mandates you clean off the car IF you are on the road driving. People still disobey the law.

Some people also refuse to wear a mask and WalMart won't kick you out because they don't want a fight. Some people pass school busses with red lights. Some people speed thru school zones. Yada, yada, yada.

Its just a symptom of the I don't care attitude, I'm better than you, I'm in a hurry.

Its the lack of respect that rubs me the wrong way. But nevertheless I just have a beer and forgetaboutit.

Around here if you don't clean the snow off your car, you will get stopped.

I used to get peeved with the blatant stupidity of some people. No more, though. Now that I'm older, I kinda enjoy watching stupid people. I mean, where else can you find free comedy relief?

 

[Sevens]

You can find it in selected whining sessions posted in the lounge area of the S&W Forum of course!
