Your pet peeves - Page 10

people spitting in the street and out of bus windows when at traffic lights. Especially after chewing paan (betel nut). I narrowly avoided one such spitter today

Forgetting what I wanted to complain about...

Invariably logging on and posting too bloody late for WAB competitions. Especially when I know the damn answer.

Always the bridesmaid and never the bride

People who make a huge deal out of their birthday. Generally I make no mention of my birthday and expect no one else to either.

People who think that their birthday means anything to me whatsoever. If I haven't mentioned your birthday I most likely (A) don't know its your birthday or (B) don't care.

Because today is the anniversary of your birth does not mean I have to be nice to you nor does it mean you are entitled to any special treatment. If you are over the age of 12 and you expect all of the above things you are one of my pet peeves.

People who back their cars into a parking spot.

Shows good military training. That way they should be able to simply drive out in the shortest time (Bug-out). Those who drive into a parking spot often can't see past the other parked vehicles when it's their turn to leave. That isn't safe.

On the other hand, when you're backing out of a parking spot, and the other cars just keep zooming by, not giving you a chance to back out.

Unless they want your spot, of course!

Except it takes just as long to get out because you don't want to hit the gas and possibly hit a pedestrian or another car. But you take twice as long to back into the spot. So there's a net loss in efficiency here.

Men who go jogging without a shirt on. Egads, the one I saw this morning wasn't too bad but that image in the head of flabby things bouncing is not what I want in this head.

On the other hand watching a female jogger tone and in shape does not make me fret at watching the "bouncing things".

For Dreadnought------

Two weeks ago a female jogger - honest to goodness she could have knocked herself out with those things if she went a little faster.

PET PEEVE: Women who have more on the top than what is really needed and go jogging. Those two things get to the place you are going a full 5 minutes before the rest of your body and I don't want to watch it.
