People who feel compelled to handle much of the fruit at the grocery store before deciding on just the right one for them. Yes, yes, I know. They are trying to find ripe fruit, but frankly, it's not that difficult, and I don't know where your hands have been.

Well it seems kind of obvious where many hands have been. My question would be when were they last washed? Probably on a steering wheel which has all kinds of germs. How clean is your car: Steering wheels have nine times more germs than public toilet seat | Daily Mail Online

People who don't fix ball marks on greens.

Cedwards38 01-29-2019 12:23 PM
People who drag their spikes on greens, ripping the turf. Pick up your feet people!

Given that we should always wash fruits before eating, I don't think how many times it's been handled in the store...makes much difference. :shrug:

At least now under the new rules, those scuff/spike marks left by troglodytes...can now be tamped down. :thumbup:

This is a pet peeve of mine too. I will never understand why people feel compelled to pull out onto the roadway closely in front of a car when it is easy to see there are no other cars behind said car. Where is the logic in that? Why make the driver break when there is all the room in the world to enter the roadway when the car passes?

Do you recognize yourself?

Because you are the one close enough for them to see......?

I'm annoyed by people who insist on driving in the left lane at a low speed, no matter how much traffic is backed up behind you.

Anyone else want to send a message? :a040:

I agree with your message about slow drivers in the left lane, a lot of them are not going left they just always drive in the left. Don't know to many States that allow you to drive in that lane if your not passing or turning left. I have another message for people that go down Buena Vista to Rt.466 if your going strait you should stay in left lane the do have a law in this State you can Right turn on red.

Yes, but you don't HAVE to turn right on a red light. If I can't see properly down the street to my left (for instance, facing south at the intersection of Rolling Acres & 466), I will not turn right on a red light. So my pet peeve is the jerk behind me laying on the horn because I am choosing not to turn until my light is green.

IMHO, it is incredibly lazy to not return your cart to the cart corral unless you're handicapped.
And I'm sure most people you mentioned are not handicapped.

All the good peeves have already been mentioned!

I agree that service dog status should only be approved for actual service dogs.
It's a travesty because service dog paraphernalia is easily obtainable online.
I overheard a conversation where someone was bragging that she could fly her small dog free in the cabin
if they got service dog accreditation. And she saw nothing wrong with it. :ohdear:

Some of us need to park in a disabled spot. I do after 4 surgeries on my leg. If someone is coming out of a disabled spot I wait so I can park there. Have a little compassion.

retiredguy123 01-31-2019 05:27 PM
The problem with both service animal and handicap parking use is a huge lack of fairness and effective enforcement. Just because someone has a "valid" permit, does not mean that they should have it or that they need it. I am convinced that this pet peeve issue will never be resolved in my lifetime. So, I am just trying to live with it and ignore it.

My husband insists as we get older, people can not judge distance. I guess that is true, but it should be easy enough to see if there is not other car behind the car being "cut off".

coffeebean 01-31-2019 08:32 PM
Just thought of another one I don't think has been mentioned........children sitting inside grocery store shopping carts. Think about where their shoes have been and the dogs that poop and pee all over. Then, you place your grocery items in the cart then place the food/ soda/milk/etc in the fridge or pantry. Yuck! I once saw a dog sitting in the child seat of a grocery cart with no protection for the cart. I notified management about that one.

Law breaking children of Villagers.

Mosells 02-13-2019 12:05 PM
Well I’m annoyed by people while making a left turn don’t pull out into the intersection while waiting. They sit back behind the crosswalk the light turns to yellow then makes the left turn, leaving at least 2 cars to wait.

Vikingjunior 02-14-2019 08:50 AM
People who use loud landscaping tools at 7 in the morning.

It's slightly irritating when people are trying to talk and one person is like "Wait...who is Jeff Bezos. Wait...who is Nancy Pelosi. Wait, what is Game of Thrones. What is Amazon. Wait, What is gluten free. Wait, what is a government shutdown. Who is Al Capone." etc. It sounds like someone playing Jeopardy.

I mean I feel like people should know *some things* going on. Sometimes I wonder, how did you get through life to this point? Not knowing anything? Than why change and want to all of a sudden catch up now.
I know very little about Jeff Bezos. Until this fracas about his nude pictures and The National Enquirer. Now I know Jeff Bezos owns The Washington Post. I didn't know that before yesterday.

Oh this is what you mean? People wanting to be in a conversation and don't know what is currently going on. Sorry. I will try to do better. ;)

I would rather kiss some dogs than some people. I certainly don't mind children in carts either. I do like Rum Raisin Ice Cream where most people prefer chocolate. If we were all the same...………...

Jeff Bezos is also one of the richest people in the World... around 130 Billion $'s or so... that's a "B". He also owns a company that is working on space travel, Blue Origin.

I did know that Dan. I was being facetious.

He also told NYC to kiss his patootie today. He isn't building there.

This is so deserving.

People who drive at dawn or dusk in cars with their parking lights on. If the purpose for lights at this time of day is so others can see you then why not turn your headlights on? I think they believe they are saving the battery! Golf carts driving the trails at dawn or dusk with no headlights on. People who walk or jog early in the morning with no light so others can see them.

Nucky 02-14-2019 02:17 PM
How about people who try to steal the joy out of simple, mindless, stress relieving things in life by criticizing and wanting to drag others down? I just don't get it for the life of me, what's left of the life of me isn't gonna be spent locking horns with anyone who doesn't matter.

Love him or hate him, several people I know have made serious money on the stock of Amazon, the company Jeff built. Jeff Bezos - Wikipedia

I've noticed that many service vehicles more or less just stop in the middle of their lane barely pulling over to the curb when they stop in front of houses to perform their service call. While out walking I will often just walk between their truck and the curb as they are often 3 ft. away from the curb. Some of these neighborhood streets are not all that wide to be doing that.

I get annoyed when a couple of cars occupy 'the box' while trying to turn left and after their signal turns red...they then make their left turns against the red.

Thereby making traffic that now has a green light, have to wait for them...to finish their left turns.

Once again shining the light on the philosophy of 'entitlement' and the attitude of..."it's OK to inconvenience you, as long as I'm not inconvenienced." :oops:

Excellent point. :thumbup:

Along with that, are those that think if a vehicle is parked at the curb in their lane, they are entitled to just go in the opposing lane until getting by the parked vehicle (so they don't have to slow down), even if it makes opposing traffic that are in their rightful lane...stop for them. :mad:

If a vehicle is at a neighborhood curb in my lane, I always ensure that there is no opposing traffic...before going around the vehicle at the curb in my lane. :ho:


Yet another example, of a plethora of examples to choose from, that proves..."it's OK to inconvenience you, as long as I'm not inconvenienced."

As someone who frequently parks in front of customers houses, I’m very careful not to have my tires on the lawn. Not only will it leave tire marks, but could potentially damage an irrigation head. I have a feeling the service vehicles mentioned in an earlier post are parking cautiously for the same reasons I mentioned.

I totally agree with you on not parking on someone's lawn, but if a person is 3 feet from the curb (per the poster above)...then maybe they shouldn't be driving. :shrug:
