Pet peeves.

I have plenty.

1) People who are the first in line at the turn arrow and they just sit there and are like "ok, its green, let me go now, i don't care that this light takes 3 seconds, its all good in the hood, i could care less if the 5th car behind me has to wait another 3 mins and 45 seconds to get the NEXT green arrow"

2) People who pay with plastic in the express line. EVER HEARD OF CASH!

3) When baseball games show a highlight of a guy hitting a homerun and you think "oh crap the game is over" only to realize that is just a meaningless highlight.

Idiots who think riding a motorcycles means gunning it and seeing how loud it can get.

I get it that the bike is the only thing of substance between their legs.....

Total morons who have bass boosters in their cars and you can hear them 4 block away.

People who hold up the line at the check out while they answer a phone call. I swear, one day I will take the phone from them and throw it down the aisle.

Attractive women who walk next to me while talking on the phone, with their hair concealing their wireless earpiece...causing me to turn around, thinking(hoping?) that they are talking to me.

I agree..if you're going to blast your car radio with the windows open, make sure the song is actually good.

How about this one. Women who aren't all that attractive who avoid making eye contact while walking past you on the street as if to say "dont talk to me or hit on me, i'm too good looking for you".

True story from about a year ago:

I am at a grocery store shopping for my mother...and I am on the phone with her while I am waiting in line at the deli, as she is telling me some more things that she remembered for me to get. As I am talking to her -- with my attention focused on the phone call -- I happen to be looking straight at an 80-year-old lady who was standing next to me...without realizing that I am staring at her.

I end the phone call...and the old lady says to me in a loud voice:

"Young man...will you please stop undressing me with your eyes?"

Number 1.......Aaaarggghhh, that burns me. That is why I have no shame in timing the left turn light, blowing up next to them in the "straight lane", make my left right in front of them , cutting them off and then giving them a middle finger as I pull away. I hate and I mean hate people with no respect for others on the road. It's a privilege, not a right.

My #1 pet peeve... drivers in the left lane who are not passing. They don't have a soul ahead of them for a mile but they mosey Posey evenly next to the car to their right. Hey ass whole, pass and get back over.

Women in grocery stores who park their cart in the middle of the aisle and walk down the aisle to get an item. When I was younger I used to ram their cart to get by but now I just take a couple of items out of their cart and hide them.

People who use the word nothing instead of anything.

I hate people who spend 2 or 3 minutes fumbling cash(usually exact change) in the express lane. EVER HEARD OF PLASTIC. IT IS THE LATEST THING. JUST SWIPE AND GO. TAKES 3 SECONDS.
