I've had similar things happen. Now if I'm working on a lengthy post, I'll often copy & paste it into a Word document from time to time, as a backup.

I tried but with images it was being difficult
 
Employers that stick "How's my driving" signs on the back of their cars that their employees are driving around. I'm sure it's safer and there might be some $$$$ benefits from insurance and yada, yada, yada.....but it makes them all drive like old grandmas, or like a cop is constantly tailing them. Aren't the signs pointless anyway? They probably have some electronic systems that track their driving anyway.
 
Here's another driving one and this may take the cake for me. On single-lane roads, when a car ahead of me is trying to make a left and is waiting for all of the oncoming traffic to go by, and the ****ing car just sits 2-3 feet away from the middle line. If you know you're making a left, get all the way over, actually touching the middle line for Christ's sake. Be considerate of the other drivers behind you so we can go by if we want and don't have to wait for your dumb *** to actually turn.
 
People who walk slow

This.

When I was in the Navy and shopped at the commissary military spouses were the absolute worst about this. I'm generally pretty mild mannered but after a while my policy was to say "excuse me" once, then twice, then shove past them. Nick the bitches with my cart if I had to.
 
People who constantly let their glasses slip half way down their nose and leave them there. My niece does this and I want to reach over and push them up for her.

I think I have an endless list of husband & glasses related peeves.

1- worse than glasses slipping down his nose, he'll wear them pushed up on his forehead, just above his eyebrows. I have no idea how he gets them to stay there.

2- if he takes them off and puts them down somewhere, he can never find them. He has about 5 pairs of glasses and just gets another pair. Eventually all 5 are misplaced and then we have to look for them. I'll inevitably find a couple of them under a pile of newspapers on the table by his favorite reading chair.

3- you know how people will take off their glasses and stick one end of the frame into the collar or neck of their shirt so the lens part hangs down in front? He does that, except he puts the lenses inside his shirt and let's the frame part hang out. It looks really goofy and drives our kids nuts.

That applies to nachos and hookers.


Here's a true PET peeve: people who drive around with their dog hanging out the car window. Just saw someone cruising down a main thoroughfare going about 35 mph and the entire upper body of their dog was hanging out the window with its front paws on the door frame.
 
When people call McDonald's "comfort food".

When people say what's up? But don't care for the answer, just say hello like a normal person.

When people assume all girls are bad drivers.

If I clean the while house Sunday, make dinner everynight during the week when we both get home at the same time, it should not be too much to ask that i not be the only one to fold some clothes or put a plate in the darn dishwasher.

Also, I hate when my husband complains that he's tired becaus he has to work so hard because he does physical labor and I just work in an office... We go to work at the same time, get home around the same time, I do most of the kid work, then he goes to bed at nine and I stay up til 12 or so doing online classes and homework, so tell me one more time that you're tired. People who think mental work can't be just as exhausting as physical labor drive me crazy.
