Stupid Pet Peeves

When I'm driving with my wife and we get where we're going and park and I get out and get to the door of the place we're going and stop to open the door for my wife but when i turn around she hasn't even gotten out of the car yet.

Like what the hell takes so long? Undo seatbelt, open door, exit vehicle...done.

Yes this, I do wait behind the car for what seems like forever sometimes but I have never walked all the way into the store without noticing she has gotten out of the car. Although I could make it to the door most of the time. Its even more baffling because I am driving most of the time. I am the one who needs time to gather my **** and put the parking brake on and put it in gear, she has time to be prepared to get out of the car.

Have either of you heard a phrase similar to "we're all married to the same woman but we go home to a different face"?

This drives me nuts. I can put the car in park, turn it off, unlock the doors, unbelt my youngest and yell at the kids on their electronics to get out, grab the diaper bag and whatever else if we are returning something or need a cart or whatever, and she's still sitting there doing who knows what. The thing that drives me nuts the most though is she will wait until we park before deciding she's thirsty and needs to drink an entire bottle of water. Why not do it on the trip if you're so parched? I'm certain that's a phobia but it's annoying as hell.

I wouldn't write any of this though if she didn't already know how much it bugs me.
 
So since I've already started complaining about my wife and parking... When she's driving and parks like a jerk. I've made her re-park or offered to re-park for her so that she's not hanging over her space into the next parking spot.

Pisses me off anytime I see cars parked in such an inconsiderate way and I just can't handle being part of that.

My wife does not enjoy it when I do that to her.
 
But does your wife decorate your car with flags?

If not, be grateful. If she does, she deserves whatever scorn and disapprobation you choose to dispense.

Thankfully no flags. Don't want to be looking like the ambassador from Jazzistan.
 
Ok, just for you.

If you start following a new tantric method of self-pleasuring involving ritualistic aspects like candle-lighting and Michael Bolton music, and you follow it the same every time, or try to, that is your ************ REGIMEN.

Or if you have started smoking weed, you know for glaucoma or phantom back pain or some other fully legitimate reason, and you smoke it every day at about the same time, often while eating lots of cheetos or doritos, you know to make sure the effects don't wear off for your pain, or whatever, that is your daily weed REGIMEN.

Michael Bolton is already part of my daily REGIMENT

I've often thought that I should keep a bunch of "I park like an *******" bumper stickers in my glove box.

Can we continue this in white font or a private forum?

When my wife picks fights and I finally respond I get the "DON'T GET MAD AT ME!" treatment like it was me starting an argument. She also takes forever to start driving when the stoplight turns green but I don't say anything unless she's not paying attention.

so I looked at Log's postscript comment before I read the article and thought this might be something good to add to the "funny news" thread - you know, some silly multi-tasking screwup with a amusing results


guess not
:(
 
Ok here's a pet peeve - it's kind of a double involving how people end phone conversations -

on one side are the people who ensnare you in a 10-15 minute long goodbye - after you've said something along the lines of "well I really need to get off now..." and then about 20 minutes later you're finally off the call

the other side are those who practically hang up on you the second you give the slightest hint that you need to wrap up the call - you say "well I probably should to get off now..." and they say "OK, bye" and just abruptly end the call without a chance for any wrap-up comments


Both types are equally annoying in their own way
