Pet Peeves, lets hear yours!!!

Friends who quit riding their bikes (especially DH bikes)!!!! You know who you are!!!!

Overweight people in tight fitting clothing. YUCK!!!! I do not want to see your jelly rolls, back fat, bear belly or muffin tops, thank you very much. :lol:

 

People talking on cell phones while crossing the street without looking - expecting/hoping that you stop. In my industrial area, all the people that get out of work immediately hit their cell phones then like cattle, just wander into the street without looking. AARGH!@! Never a wave, or a courtesy nod, nothing!

 

Torx bolts! #-o Who ever designed Torx bolts should be slapped in the face!

A simple job like switching a rotor becomes an hour long job trying to remove a bunch of striped bolts.

 

How about wild moped riders with man purses doing wheelies all over the place as if they own the streets with no helmets.

See video lol

It is some neat stunt action. Try not to laugh mopeds are cool.

 

Always yield to the faster driver, don't try to be the safety patrol. You don't know if that guy (or girl) is drunk, mad, needs to get to their injured child or might even be carrying a gun... besides, woulden't you want the erratic crazy knucklehead in fron of you where you are more in control rather than in front of where you can be "pitted" into the center divider by either skill or luck?

 

THREAD BUSTERS.... you have a real nice topic going on, people are posting, sharing, joking, learning, and then all of a sudden someone's post throws your thread 90deg. somewhere else! Way off the topic! #-o

 

here is another BIG one for me. Client needs to see new creative ASAP, but ASAP is hours of work, yet I am told they need it in 15 minutes. WHAT! Then a crowd forms around my desk watching me pull new designs out of my rear-end while trying to meet a bogus deadline...

 

Taking a shower and finding out someone used up all the shampoo, and then having to use dog shampoo instead. #-o

It wasn't too bad, at least it gave me a shiney coat. :lol:

 

+1 on agreeing with Lee agreeing with Calepic. What does inane mean?

Unless you drive a large pick up, in which case the overtaking lane is THE place to drive no matter what happens around you.

 

ewwww on the dog shampoo lambda_drive ^.^

i hate it when your on the trails and your like hey how its going, or you give the 'whats up' head shake to another rider. and they just like stare at you with a 'wtf do you want' look.... ass holesss

 

PC Wienies

Both types.


:?:

 

Thank you!! This happens to me ALL THE TIME when I bike commute. I wish people would just drive normally, but we all know that's never going to happen.

I haven't read through them all yet, but one of my peeves is when on the fwy, you change lanes to pass someone, and as soon as you try to do that they start speeding up (like it's a race). That is stupid.

Another is the exact opposite of the above. Someone tailgates you for a bit, gets frustrated and then passes you, and then CHANGES LANES BACK IN FRONT OF YOU. AND THEN SLOWS DOWN!!!! Which slows me down. That is the worst shiiite to me. I hate it.

e-mail

When people "reply to all" and have no business "replying to all". I don't care that you finished your TPS report. I don't need to see it. Send it to the person that requested the report and don't include the rest of us.

 

i hate people who throw cigarettes/ashes out of their car, and people who dont tie down dogs when they are riding in the bed of a truck.

 

-People with super raised trucks, with light racks, meant for off- roading but only leave Yorba Linda to go to Glamis (bros)

-When riders going really slow refuse to move out of the way, even after you scream " ON YOUR LEFT." or "ON YOUR RIGHT".

-People who chew with their mouth wide open

-Super lifted truck, and then the driver gets out and turns out to be 4'5"

-Whoever the asshole was that dug holes on the Fullerton Loop to try and kill a couple of people.

 

Idiots who hit their brakes because a highway patrol is out of his cruiser writing a ticket on the side of the freeway....do you actually think he is going to eyeball your speed, jump back in his car and chase you down?
He is busy and probably the only CHP in the area....less probability for a ticket in reality

 

I have a belly button.

 

I used to think the same thing until it actually happened. I went flying by in the fast lane.....he ran back to his car and chased me down.

 

Flying by is one thing but I agree about the people who slow to like 5 -10 miles below speed limit because of the cop.

 

people that think they can cruise to the right turn lane in the shoulder from a mile away only to find out that .5 mile up they have to merge with the people they just went around assholes. Thats why its fun to sit in between the two lanes and laugh at how angry they get
