Stupid Pet Peeves

I'm sure it's been mentioned a hundred times in the thread, but bicyclists.

They have to be the most arrogant elitist weenies on the planet.
Not only could they not conceive of riding on the bike paths the city has spent MILLIONS on, but they can't even ride in the side road-extended bike lane. Nope, they think they're a van or something and have to ride IN the street making everyone slow down until safe to pass. I am tempted daily...

Folks who ride those double-wide adult tricycles or pedicabs that take up an entire lane... fortunately they generally stick to the less traveled streets and stay off the major thoroughfares.

Towns (like mine) that paint bike lanes on the busiest streets - - why can't they put them a block or two over on the side streets? I'm in a very urban environment with lots of on-street parking, and between the parking lanes and the bike lanes, there's almost no room left for driving.
 
This is part pet-peeve and part random question...

Wish I understood why I'm always seeing these dental pick things on the sidewalk, street or parking lot - do people floss their teeth as they walk along and then just drop the used thing on the ground?

Kind of disgusting I think!

I'm guessing wherever you're at, you don't have BMW or Prius owning drivers?

Anyway, I abhor cyclists who have not only decided to not wear a helmet -- which, I guess, is their choice -- but who have also decided to "salmon" against ****ing traffic.

I agree with this cyclist sentiment. My biggest pet peeve with them is when they ride two-wide and/or in packs, rather than in the single-line formation that is the accepted norm. **** them.

If you're bound and determined to ride a bicycle in traffic, and pretty much dare anyone in an automobile to not yield to you, you basically deserve to die anyway.

There's a saying in cycling circles that says, "You will never win the battle between man and vehicle."

I hate this too. I always put them back.

I also hate people who slam the plates into each other in the machines on their last rep
 
People who wear gear from multiple teams at the same time. Just saw a guy wearing a Yankees hat, a Raiders shirt, and shorts that had the Cowboys star. Loser.

Kind of unavoidable if you are a hat guy. All the good hats are baseball hats.

I can understand wearing different teams from different sports
