Anyone who pulls out a phone during a movie should reimburse the ticket prices for the people sitting behind them. Okay, that's a little harsh, but I really, really hate it.

I purposefully cut off a cop who did this using a straight lane to make a left hand turn, as well as several other brain dead state employees in my building. I'm shocked how irate some of them get, not knowing that a) they were in the wrong and b) we work together so maybe they should temper their temper. Then again, they are state employees so what do I expect...
A related driving pet peeve of mine is the jackwads who cross the white line when getting on to the freeway instead of waiting their turn. This seems to happen all the time when their is a huge line of cars. So now I have to slow down and wait to merge (that is their problem, right? people going too slow entering their freeway).
And to piggy back on this, when there are two left turning lanes and the guy in the furthest left has to hit the gas station on the right hand corner. So he either stops in the road waiting for traffic to pass or just cuts everyone off and stops to make the turn.
I don't know why we don't just shoot people like that.
State employee here. Now I have a new pet peeve.

Most here know I'm a state worker. It was poor self depreciating humor.
(that one's for Colton and Stifle Power)
depreciating, deprecating, what's an extra "i" between friends?
P.S. That's exactly the type of thing I was referring to in this post, well played: https://jazzfanz.com/showthread.php?10950-Stupid-Pet-Peeves&p=1206040&viewfull=1#post1206040

Should they use less fewer times, or fewer less times?

When my wife cleans up my stuff without telling me she's doing it and puts it all in a box that should be labeled "1001 random things that belong to Gameface, 100 random things that he's never seen before and a whole bunch of garbage"
I found a container today that had several items I've spent hours looking for and ended up having to rebuy. Stuff that I told her I knew I had and that I really needed but after looking "everywhere" I haven't been able to find. She has no clue where it is.
Several examples:
When I was putting together my electric brew system I bought a **** ton of gray thread tape specifically for water fittings. When I was installing the tankless water heater I was looking for it relentlessly because I still had three unused rolls of it. I looked, I looked, I looked. Well, today I found it all.
I had to fix something for her that required some soldering work. I had a little roll of silver solder that I tried to find so that I could fix it for her. I looked, and looked, and looked. I told her I knew I had some and I knew where I left it. She had no idea where it might be. Today I found it.
Just yesterday I was replacing all the tubing in my kegerator and I decided to replace all the disconnects as well. I had several extra never used liquid disconnects, but I couldn't find them. So I added them to the list of stuff I bought at the homebrew store. Three of them at $6.99 each. Today, the very next day, I found them.
All in the same box.
Also in the box, a package of 20 AAA batteries that aren't "mine." Like why jam batteries in with my stuff? I found a catalog from 2011. I found the packaging for stuff I don't even have anymore. I found random papers that no one would ever think anyone would want to keep, and if they DID want to keep them there's no way they would ever find them in this random box of stuff.
There is a filtering system for finished beer (a plate filter) that it's very important doesn't get scratched up and doesn't get exposed to "dirty" stuff because it's made out of plastic and is used on the cold-side of the beer making process. that's what the container was for specifically, to keep that item safe. But she dumped a bunch of sockets, wrenches box knives, random screws, and all the aforementioned stuff in there. I honestly would never dare use that filter system again. There are actually two plate filters and my custom made connections for them, it cost well over $100. It's just junk now.
I'm super pissed. Thanks for letting me rant. I'll try to be nice when she gets home from work today.

Just remember that you probably do things to her that piss her off just as bad. At the end of the day, as much as it sucks, it's just money, and your wife is worth a helluva lot more than all that stuff.
Yes, this is true. I know I'm not an easy person to live with.

While I've never experienced this, I do hate when the hair in my head gets stuck in my armpit, usually while rolling over in bed or some such activity. It hurts, and not in a good way.
