Stupid Pet Peeves

I've taken that dbag move to the next level. I had a logitec mouse that I purchased on Amazon stop working and I called logitec customer service. I can't remember why but either that turned into too much of a hassle or I didn't have the receipt or something so I went to Best Buy and bought the same mouse, brought it home took the new mouse out and put the broken one in and then returned the broken mouse to Best Buy. I told them it didn't work, so at least they didn't stick it back on the shelf, but still I felt a little like a jerk for taking advantage of them like that.

I've done the same thing before. I literally had an iPod crap out on me after about 45 days. I'd bought it at Sam's Club, and their policy is 30 days and then you have to deal with Apple. I don't have the time for that crap, so I bought a new one and waited about 20 days to take the bad one back. Told them it stopped working and stuff. They just send it back to the manufacturer, so they're the ones having to back up their product anyway.

Not another Best Buy story...

If you drop a lot of money at Best Buy on other items, then a little help on the customer service side is ok. BB doesn't really lose money; they just "RTV" (Return to Vendor) the bad mouse. If you feel bad, then buy a DVD from them.

I also have a confession to make. Sometimes I stop at McDonalds just to use the restroom when I'm out running errands or have been driving on the freeway for awhile. I don't even make a purchase. Am I terrible or what?
 
I know this has most likely been said in this thread already, but people who don't move to the right, especially when they're driving slower than the flow of traffic.

What makes me want to smash people's faces in with a hammer is when they aren't ignorant of this law (yes, the ****ing law that says you need to move the **** over and let people pass you on the left, regardless of their speed or yours) but are actually impeding traffic on purpose because they think they're some sort of do-gooder traffic vigilante stopping you from driving 78 when they've decided the acceptable limit is 75 in a 65. I mean, it'd be one thing if they thought everyone should obey the speed limit, but what they seem to think is that they know the exact amount it's okay to exceed the speed limit by not just for themselves but for everyone on the road.

If you're on of those people please PM me your address so I can come over with my hammer and take my frustrations out on your face.

And don't even get me started with the people who insist on driving in the "express" lane when in reality they're out for a leisurely Sunday drive. I think they get off on the fact that you're not supposed to cross the double-white line so they feel like they've trapped you in their zone of control. The reason why I think this is when I cross the double-white and go around them and they are clearly upset about it even though my driving, unlike theirs, is not affecting anyone else's ability to drive however the hell they want.

whew, I'm feeling a little better.
 
If I ever go insane and want to mass murder, my target will be slow drivers in the fast lane. Especially these ****s who speed up from 60 to 98 when you pass them in the HOV lane after politely flashing your lights and requesting they be courteous/obey the law. Those ill-tempered ******** are an unsafe threat to society deserve to get Gitmo'd.

I do that every now and then by mistake. I will just forget that I'm in the left lane. Someone always honks at me and gives me an expression of anger and I realize what I was doing and I move over to them flicking me off.

Yeah, since this has moved to stupid pet peeve status for me I'm probably oversensitive to it. I try to give people the benefit of the doubt. Sometimes it really does seem like they are intentionally trying to obstruct traffic though. It might very well be a Utah thing, and I think it's even more prevalent in Utah county. I had to drive through Utah county yesterday which is what brought on my blood rage.

There's a common term 'round these parts called a "Mormon road block." It's when cars all going the same slow speed are side by side blocking all the lanes on the freeway with a huge cluster of traffic behind them.
 
I get bugged by the drivers that are just oblivious. I get there are dbags out there that purposely drive like tools and karma takes care of them. I mean the drivers that just have no clue about the world around them. Same thing with walking down the hall and people just stop dead right in front of you.

The worst is truckers who decide they want to pass another 18 wheeler and change lanes when you are coming up on them fast. You have to slow way down while they take 10 miles to pass the truck to the left of them that's only moving 2-3 mph slower than them. You end up going 55-60 mph hour stuck behind some dumbass that is essentially killing both lanes of traffic.

In fact, anybody that changes into the fast lane without gauging the speed of upcoming traffic is a D-bag. Just wait the 30 seconds until I pass you before jumping into the fast lane.
 
My pet peeve is posters who create the same thread as one that already exists. I swear we've done this pet peeve thing before.

This this this! Particularly when there are only 2 lanes.

People definitely do it on purpose sometimes. I've had people speed up, get in front of me, then slow down to be dicks.

When I do it is when I've been on a long road trip and I'm somewhat zoned out.
 
People who stand at a crosswalk pushing the button over and over.

Once the button is pushed once it does every damn thing it's going to do for you, sweetheart.
