Pet Peeves

    No receipt at the pump? I'm not coming back if I can help it. I shouldn't have to stand in line behind a horde of tards buying lottery tickets just to get my gas receipt.

    Like anyone, I have many pet peeves... :)

    Obese, bovine people blocking entire aisles in stores, blocking the sidewalk, etc. Lots of that around these parts.

    Drivers on highways who don't pay attention to the dynamics of merging. Really, it's in everyone's interests to avoid violent death in an auto accident.

    The fact that FOX News is somehow considered acceptable for office waiting rooms, university student unions and other public spaces. I'm staying at a hotel this week, and FOX News is constantly blaring in the lobby. I have to listen to their nonsense if I want to eat the "free" hotel breakfast.

    States with 3.2 percent beer laws. It doesn't prevent drunkenness. It just encourages people to get fat and spend all their money in their efforts to get drunk.

    Golf, in general.

    With you on the FoxNews thing, WI. Every hospital and doctor's office waiting room I've been in has FoxNews on. Grrr.

    A chiropractor I used to visit regularly had the shit at high volume in his waiting room. This was 2002-2004, when FOX was in a constant state of wargasm over the thought of invading Iraq. I complained to him once..."I come here to feel better," I said half-jokingly. He gave me the old silent STFU look. Wotta guy.

    Doc, your TV is making me ill. Do you have any remedy?

    Yeah, watch two hours of the Daily Show and Colbert Report and call me in the morning.

    Sounds like you adhere to the George Carlin driving philosophy that I follow as well - "I am the only perfect driver on the road. Anybody driving faster than me is a lunatic, everyone driving slower than me is an idiot"

    ANYONE who asks for my social security number. That number was not made to be a tracking device.

    Former smoker here, but I share the same peeve. I sometimes get a vision of a cigarette butt hitting my hood and the whole car going up in a massive explosion on the interstate.

    Why do smokers flip the butts out the window when there should be a perfectly good ashtray inside the car to put them in?

    Ashtrays are optional these days, as are lighters. My car has neither.
