Pet Peeves Thread

One thing that drives me insane to the exclusion of everything else these days: Justin Bieber. Enough already! I have no idea what his music is like or what he is about - all I know is that he looks like he is 12 years old and there are 30+ year old women falling all over him. That's just sick. He's like a frickin boy band without the band!

Just a bit below this, calling a magazine a clip. Thanks Hollywood .

Also, adding an un-needed 'S' to words like "I needs this" or "Justin Beiber gots himself a new gun and boughts hisself a bunch of clips". This seems to be this ebonics trend (another pet peeve) that people do this crap to sound hip and cool - news flash dummy, you sound like an uneducated moron!

Drivers in general. I think I'm cursed because I'm bound to get behind the oldest, the slowest, the dumbest and the least likely to be an American!

...And +1 on all of this, except my dog thing is when he dreams while I'm trying to sleep (he sleeps on my bed with me):

I don't have a dog. I was talkin' about Fuckin' Anubis.... clakkity clakkity clakkity... every damn night....

Braking hard when you go down an icy hill and there's NOBODY else around.

People who think Marijuana is "better" then alcohol

I remember going out to smoke a cigarette at a guys party a few years back and my friend came out and told me how the uneducated are smokers and its disgusting and low-class, then proceeded to fire up a bowl. Seriously? No, really, SERIOUSLY? This is the same bunch of idiots that think that MJ is safer and a better alternative to cigarettes (this same guy claims to be allergic to cigarettes, but not pot). Arghhhh.

that silly when people think it's better for you than cigarettes, but it comes with a hell of a lot less health problems than booze... So, Club, I'm happy to oblige in one of your pet peeves

Anything with "GLBT or LGBT" attached to it. Fuck...shut the hell up already...you are just as unimportant as the rest of us.

People who don't respect big trucks, be them Peterbilts or lifted diesel pickups like mine. I'm not the "I'm bigger than you I have the right of way" type, I'm talking about people that cut in front of a big truck coming up on a red light or in tight traffic and don't understand that my rig weighs 4 times what their Honda does and needs quite a bit more length to stop, then get pissed when my grill ends up 4" from their back glass after laying on my brakes.

Fat chicks that think they can dress like hot chicks. I don't want to see your cottage cheese thighs, and I don't think anybody else in the place does either.

Fake people. Like the ones that dress "western" to go to the Grizzly Rose (where I'm at a few times a week)... if you have to dress differently than you normally do fit in somewhere, you don't belong there and we don't want to see you there.

Stupid people.

Cops that know less about gun laws than I do. I don't claim to know everything, and I'm sure I still have plenty to learn, but when you pull me over just to question me about the rifle in the gun rack in my truck on the way to my shooting spot, driving in an area I know I can have it, and I have to pull up the CSP page on my phone so YOU can learn your laws, that just pisses me off.

People that think cops are evil.

People that don't clean up their brass after shooting outdoors.

People that say "acrost" and "idear."
More to come I'm sure....

People that ask me for professional, mechanical advice on a car or bike (I used to be an ASE Master tech before opening the motorcycle shop), and then proceed to a) disagree with my advice, even though they have no clue what they're talking about, because the interwebz said something different, and b) ask the same question in a different way, hoping to get a different answer.

This is especially annoying when said idiot is on the phone, not remotely interested in spending any money (with me or anyone else), and generally has a foreign accent that is 1% short of being entirely unintelligible. They will invariably waste as much of my time as humanly possible, and fail to comprehend the phrase "I need to answer that other phone line, can you hold for a moment?". Then, if it's a bike question, they'll proceed to tell me why XYZcycle.com has the same item 29 cents cheaper, so they'll get it there (even though it's the WRONG fucking item for their application), and how much would it be for me to install it? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUGH....



I feel better now....

not to derail the thread............ but I will anyways LOL ...


I'll agree with you to the extent that MJ at least has SOME medical benefit.
(tho I whole heartedly believe that 95%+ of Med cards are utter bullshit, Just an excuse for folks to buy weed and not get arrested.)

Let's not forget 60-70( 40's thru early 50's) years ago Docs said smoking cigs was good for you. I think with long term studies, in 20+ years (that will only come with a relaxation of federal laws) that smoking the ganja will be seen as not so good for you also.

People that criticize others because they didnt serve. Not everyone is meant to serve in the armed forces. Some have situations that dont allow them to.

People that give me crap about my cigars. I smoke them on rare occasions and never around anyone that doesnt smoke.

People that think whatever they prefer in firearms is IT and nothing else is equal or even close. Not everyone wants or needs a "Super duper heat seeker nuclear powered pistol" some people are happy with what they have.

"Tactical" Just because its black doesnt make it tactical. If thats the case my little ones diaper bag is "tactical" .

More to come as I wake up more
