List your pet peeves

[MMR]

Ok just to be somewhat clear on this, there is a slight chance that I may be under appreciative of Mr Bells invention called the telephone.

 Ok I hope there isn't any misunderstanding here.

My new biggest pet-peeve:

Knowing that my sunroof leaks in my car and I should have sealed it up a month ago(it stopped working years ago), but not having sealed it. Tonight it is raining like crazy and I know my car will be full of water in the morning. And every time I hit the brakes, going to work, more water will pour in my lap. Gonna need a poncho just to drive in my car.

Oops. Not quite a pet-peeve itself, but forgetting stuff I need to do is the pet-peeve.

Reminds me of when I used to own a convertible....maybe it’s nice if you live somewhere where it’s sunny and warm all year or most of the year, but owning one here in the north was a nightmare.



Since then I have deliberately avoided any form of  retractable roof top....including sunroofs

Yikes, that sucks, I thought my front passenger door getting water in it when it rained was bad, but thats much worse. At least when I hit the brakes I only hear it sloshing around in the housing, then I pull over and drain it from the door gasket.

As far as pet peeves go, I really dislike when your at a concert or sporting event and there are perfectly good seats, but some bozos feel they need to stand throughout the show, causing a domino effect and everyone has to stand to see. I probably have 1000 more but I dont want to increase my standing as a miserable grump  so I will shut up now.

OK I need to add to my list as I forget sometimes?

-Why do they say your Package Shipped Today when it did in fact not ship Today?
Creating a Label so that it can ship is not the same thing!
Then add to that the Tracking which can leave a lot to be desired if you want accuracy at least and Shipping can drive me up a wall!

-Why can I not know in advance what my Hotel Room will actually cost me per night and I mean the price that I will have to pay?
They act as though the added taxes and fees are somehow not part of the price when selling the room but I sure end up having them added on in the end!
I understand that the Hotel gets wgat they get and the Taxes go where they go too but how does that help me to book and plan a trip?

[Don Pablo]

What the smurf? I can't imagine having prices everywhere that don't include taxes.

That's irritating to me as well. I've seen an item "ship" as per eBay; then it take a week or more to actually be dropped off or picked up. If you're gonna take that long--why not say so?  And sometimes, the post office doesn't scan packages when they need to. I had a package show up a couple days ago, that was last scanned when it left the regional hub, and only scanned again when it was delivered. I'd figured it wouldn't show up that day.

    Some packages take longer to deliver than ever and they never border to update the status...and I can't help but to wonder at what point I should consider the package lost and start mailing people.

I hope the water only leaks to the side of your pants...otherwise, people can't really tell whether you can't hold it or it is just geniune rain water...


I procrastinate so bad that I often wonder how I survive all those deadlines...

You get used to mentally factoring it in.  It helps that sales taxes in the US are generally fairly low, usually in the 6% - 8% range, and seldom more than 10%.

Hotel taxes are a slightly different animal though.  Essentially, it's one of those "taxation without representation" situations, because folks very rarely stay in a hotel in an area in which they live (and thus vote), so hotel taxes can sometimes be exorbitant (at least by US standards).

[gerleatherberman]

The city I live in used to brag about the low sales tax. They used to talk about the "crooks" in some larger cities who have 10% sales tax. Well, many years ago the local sales tax was bumped to 9%, and then 10%. Alabama(though most of Alabama doesn't pay 10% sales tax, just 7%-9% on average) also charges sales tax on all food as well. Meanwhile my city has one of the fastest deteriorating public school systems in the country.
Need a loaf of bread in Montgomery? $2 you say? Nope. $2.20.
How's that for a pet peeve?

[Sweety-Sama]

I really hate it when I’m grocery shopping and see random stuff lying in the wrong isle! Especially raw meat or frozen/cooled goods between chips or wines or whatever! All the good groceries going to waste because of the broken cold chain! Why do people do that? If I take something and think “naw, I don’t want” than I’ll bring it back where I got it. Food waste in general gets me mad.

SPAMALOT!

SPAMALOT!        

We're knights of the round table.
we dance whene'er we're able.
we do routines and chorus scenes
with footwork impeccable.
we dine well here in SPAMALOT.
we eat ham and jam and SPAM A LOT.
we're knights of the round table.
our shows are formidable,
but many times we're given rhymes
that are quite unsingable.
we're opera mad in SPAMALOT.
we sing from the diaphragm a lot.
In war we're tough and able,
quite indefatigable.
between our quests we sequin vests and impersonate clark gable.
it's a busy life in SPAMALOT.
I have to push the pram a lot.

In my county, the town I'm technically in taxes restaurant purchases another 5 or 6% on top of VA sales tax.  The money could have been used to fund the schools, upgrade equipment used by Fire and EMS (I know the front line pumper is 25 years old; built right here when a major fire apparatus manufacturer called my town home; and the heavy rescue was built in the 1980s; they acquired it when the county absorbed the volunteer rescue squad; and half the county EMS ambulances are secondhand); or fix some of the infrastructure, but no, they used the entire amount on tourism projects.

The county was in the red bad in 2018.  Since Virginia requires every county to have a balanced budget, they had to close a couple elementary schools, go back to the yearly tax sticker that had to be bought for every car you owned (whether you actually drove it or not); which had been eliminated 10 years prior, tried to add another 5% tax on food (and that failed miserably on the ballot). Between the stupidity in Virginia and in Tazewell County, I'm thinking about moving to another state.

It is all so ridiculous. But, that said, you can guarantee that our local elected officials will be getting their scheduled raises, even if it means shutting down schools.

When I'm watching a show intended for a family audience--I don't want to see commercials for smurfpills, personal lubricants, or medications for certain "conditions".   

And lawyer commercials. There's commercials for lawsuits against everything. They're everywhere, especially on lower-tier networks, and they're downright irritating.   On local TV, a particular law firm I swear is the most irritating. I like to call the three lawyers on there the "Three Stooges".

[gerleatherberman]

 
Though I agree, the boner-pills and lubes don't bother me so much. The lawyer stuff is awful. Where I love, all of them are "personal injury attorneys".

This is a pet peeve of mine. Obnoxious and tasteless.

That's probably weird and irritating at the same time.  Back home, I remembered there used to be a block of time for family audience shows, where no commercial for mature audience are allowed until much later at night.  I hope they still have that.
