Pet Peeves Thread

PM SENT!

When people say "pm sent" in a for sale thread. What the fuck is the point of that. Either say you'll take it, or ask a question... don't fucking say "pm sent". Fuck that is annoying! Or best yet... just send a PM and don't post anything about you, sending a pm... cause nobody cares. It's not like it's securing your place in line for the item. Or are you trying to get your post count up one number higher so you look like you know more about firearms to your fellow internet forumers? You just look like a douche bag who typed "pm sent"... that's it.

Sorry... this just popped in my head while I was brushing my teeth and had to post it. I usually don't like anything that humans in general do (I'm kinda grumpy like that Firemoth guy on here), so it's kinda hard for me to narrow down a pet peeve... but the PM SENT stands above the rest in my book.

PM SENT!

I find it irritating too. I think people do it just in case the person doesn't notice. I've even posted that before, because I thought it was standard procedure now. I always notice a PM almost immediately.

I've had a few good ones over the last week, but don't remember them. Basically, if you're crossing a street while NOT in a cross walk, hurry the fuck up! If you HIT someone who is crossing the street (or in ANY situation), pull over. If you flee the scene, you are the biggest piece of shit. I think a guy was killed at Colfax and Kendall two weekends ago because of this.

If your son is in high school, he is old enough to call for Roadside Assistance all by himself. I don't need BOTH parents, on the same line, at the same time, saying different things. When I suggest that I just call your kid directly, and you answer, "Well, he won't answer a number he doesn't recognize." Then all three of you have failed at life. Don't expect him to ever get a job, or even a girlfriend.

Oh yeah, and if you are flying through the parking lot of an apartment complex, and you have to jam on the brakes to avoid flying out into the street (where I have the unquestioned right of way), and I happen to wave at you in thanks for not recklessly involving me in a head-on collision.....don't you dare fucking flip me off.

Oh yeah, why in the hell can't I find pants with a 36" inseam anymore? The lady at Walmart told me to go online. I did and they still only have 30"-34". What is this ridiculousness? Target.com has even less! Do I really have to shop at a Big and Tall store now?

I blame McDonalds and Mexico for this trend. Sure, I can easily find pants that are 52X28, but when I look for 36X36 I'm shit out of luck?

I have been known not to answer PMs for a few days, but I always subscribe to my own "for sale" threads with an Email Notification.
So Yes, "PM Sent" does have a purpose, sometimes.

People dodling across the road between crosswalks should be fair game. Then Subject to undeniable Civil Suit... "had you Crossed in a crosswalk WITH the light, you would not had broken my grille, bumper, hood and windshield with your personage. You are Liable for the replacement of my '72 Vega."

I Honestly wish my eyesight was better so I could see the tags, I wouldn't lock up for these CA shitheads making left turns in front of me. and in a goddamned Broke ass BMW no less.

DO NOT try to Pimp or Diva in a BMW Wrecked on one side, Paint all faded and unkept, looks like it hasn't seen wax since the fucking Carter administration. And for chrissakes buy a bottle of damned windex, that stuff is cheaper than your wannabe Starbucks latte, use it to wash those nasty smoke film crusty windows and maybe you wont be blindly running into shit.
When you are done with that, get your plates changed, pay the local taxes, I have to, you do too. no one likes it but you aren't any better than anyone else.






End of rant, your regularly scheduled programming will now resume.

If I came here from California, getting new plates would be #2 on my To Do list.

This forum's system automatically notifies me via e-mail when someone sends me a PM. I don't need to be notified twice... once for the actual PM and once for the person who posted the useless "PM SENT" in my thread.

"Hey, Whatcha doin?" at 4am


I Feel like waiting 12 hours and replying "Sleeping, what you doin?"

PM SENT!

I'll do it just in case the PM never makes it. But not always.

This bit me in the ass once, I found a rifle I wanted on page 4or5 sent a PM with a question and posted PM sent. Well this brought this once dead ad back to life and someone snatched it up from under me. Since then if I really want it I won't post PM sent.
