What ANNOYS you? Pet peeves and annoyances?

I agree with 2nd and 3rd but passing and/or driving on the shoulder of a 2 lane road in Texas is legal and preferred and some situations, one of them to pass a car turning left. The shoulder wouldnt be the dirt part but paved like the rest of the road albeit perhaps narrower than a lane.

§545.058 - DRIVING ON IMPROVED SHOULDER
(a) An operator may drive on an improved shoulder to the right of the main traveled portion of a roadway if that operation is necessary and may be done safely, but only:
(1) to stop, stand, or park;
(2) to accelerate before entering the main traveled lane of traffic;
(3) to decelerate before making a right turn;
(4) to pass another vehicle that is slowing or stopped on the main traveled portion of the highway, disabled, or preparing to make a left turn;
(5) to allow another vehicle traveling faster to pass;
(6) as permitted or required by an official traffic control device; or
(7) to avoid a collision
Teas is wonderful that way. I love working in Dallas but in every other state I have been to it is illegal. Driving on the shoulder in other states surprises bikers, pedestrians and other drivers in line. It becomes incredibly dangerous for little gain.

Ignorant boaters who fart around on the boat launch.

You know...hey let's put our coolers in the boat now. Oh, don't forget about the towels and snacks. Oh, it's ok that guy is ready to launch, he can wait. When will ignorant boaters learn to prep in the parking lot.

Thats my pet peeve.

Not showering for three days then on the fourth walking to take a shower stepping on rebar and cutting open the bottom of your foot. Then reaching the shower only to find out the water is still out. I love Afghanistan.

On my move from KS to FL I did this 3 times at gas stations... I was pulling my camper and pulled beside the vehicles and turned my truck in front of theirs so I could fill up.
Can't really tell but I'm standing next to my truck getting gas when I took this photo. This guy realized he should have moved and patiently waited for me to fill up and move to a parking spot. Another car I did this to was a little Honda Fit, that guy was pissed! Got in his car and drove between the pumps pushing the trash can out of his way with the side of his car. The third one I got the camper so close to their car the passengers had to wait till I moved before they could get in.View attachment 10101
Dude, this is kind of F'd up. I've had this kind of bullshit happen to me and I was pissed, and it's not my fault. Starts like this. I Pull in to get gas and grab the back pump because someone is at the front pump. Truck takes 35 gallons of gas so front guy has already left by the time mine is full. I need receipt for expenses, but printer is out of paper or doesn't work so now I have to go in. While I'm inside I grab a bottle of water and must wait for about 4 people to buy cigerettes and loto tickets. I come out and some douche bag has pulled this kind of shit in front of me.

I had a situation like this when I first got my boat. Pulled into a gas station on the way home to fill it up. There are 2 rows of 2 pumps, 1 row close to the building and 1 row away. I roll in and all pumps on the side I need are filled while the ones against the station are open. Right now I am blocking traffic so rather than wait for an outside pump I go in on the pumps close to the station and block both pumps. As expected the station quickly emptied out and there is just me at the inner pumps and this black F150 that is blocking the other pump I could have used. At about 40 gallons pumped the guy with the F150 emerges from the store and has to walk all the way around the front of my truck instead of cutting through the pumps to get to his truck. He of course starts yelling at me for not using the outside pumps. He was an old 150 pound smoker and I was 225 pounds of solid muscle at the time so my temptation was to teach him a lesson he would not soon recover from. Long story short, I kept wishing him a good night until he finally left. I do not know if it ever dawned on him that he was blocking the only other pump I could have used while he was inside playing scratchers.

Dude, this is kind of F'd up. I've had this kind of bullshit happen to me and I was pissed, and it's not my fault. Starts like this. I Pull in to get gas and grab the back pump because someone is at the front pump. Truck takes 35 gallons of gas so front guy has already left by the time mine is full. I need receipt for expenses, but printer is out of paper or doesn't work so now I have to go in. While I'm inside I grab a bottle of water and must wait for about 4 people to buy cigerettes and loto tickets. I come out and some douche bag has pulled this kind of shit in front of me.
I understand if something like that happens, in my situations I waited for about 5 minutes, they were already inside when I got there, then blocked them. The one finally came out as I was hanging the pump up, he was carrying mcdonalds bags and junk, so he knew it wasn't going to be a quick in and out.
 
In my line of work it is hard to not get annoyed by something every single day... I am by no means trying to harsh the spirit of this thread, but I had to watch this video in a class I was in the other night and thought I would share it with you. If you haven't seen it, its 10 minutes but I think it is worth the time... makes you think...

:cigar:

People that use really huge text with weird fonts in all different colors when posting on forums.
I don't read it, I just skip right over it. It hurts my little brain!

Same HERE....If it wasn't for your red text catching my eye, I would have totally skipped it. I'll also add that when the signature text is colored too, it just becomes a jumbled mess of something I choose not to try and decipher.
