Motor City Sonics Posted June 7 Posted June 7 Pet Peeve is when I am in the middle of typing a post a pop up ad comes up and I have to exit out of it to get back to typing. Can't wait until I'm done typing? Annoying. Quote
Edman85 Posted June 29 Posted June 29 Not really a pet peeve, but my phone broke yesterday (drowned on a boating day), so I bought a new one from Verizon. Unfortunately, in order to activate the Sim Card, they sent a text to the old broken phone which I had no way of receiving, and I couldn't call Verizon without a functioning phone. So the pet peeve is lack of common sense in authentication techniques. Quote

You could only add a new device while you still had your old device. They did fix it after a couple of years, but software developers are the only people in the world who get away with releasing products that are the equivalent of selling shirts missing a sleeve.

Deleterious Posted July 2 Posted July 2 The father being called a hero for jumping overboard on the cruise ship to save his 5-year-old kid. Nobody talks about the terrible parenting involved in letting a 5-year-old fall overboard in the first place. Quote
chasfh Posted July 3 Posted July 3 (edited) When you order an appetizer first and then your meal, and they bring them all out at the same time. This runs a close second to, you order a drink, they never bring it, toward the end of the meal you tell them that’s fine go ahead and kill the drink, they apologize for spacing out on it, and it shows up on the bill anyway. That one’s happened to me twice in the last month. Edited July 3 by chasfh Quote
oblong Posted July 10 Posted July 10 When did turning on the hazards when it's raining hard become a thing? I noticed it earlier this year when driving thru Kentucky and it was pure white knuckle "hope the guy in front of me knows where he is going". In that case everybody was going about 25 down I 75 so I thought maybe it was a local thing to them, especially since we were at the point where you are miles between exits. BUt yesterday it rained pretty hard around here and I was on 94 and noticed quite a few people doing it. Quote

If vis is really bad (fog level) and I've slowed and I think the guy coming up behind me could clobber me, OK. Otherwise if you are moving with traffic I say keep them off. In A^2 the bus drivers have taken to driving their buses with their flashers on - just stupidity. You know I just might like to know which the hell way you are taking your 55ft barge at the next corner or when you are across from me at an intersection.....Do you think I can't see your BUS! Quote

For some time I have wondered why it isn’t standard on cars that when you have your hazards on and you put on a turn signal, the turn signal controls until you complete the turn and then it goes back to hazards. 1 Quote
