1. Hypocrisy in general
2. Really Obese people smoking cigarettes
3. The Pronoun movement
4. Giant Trucks with Balls on the back
5. Gaslighters (a form of psychological manipulation in which the abuser attempts to sow self-doubt and confusion in their victim's mind.)
To add to number 4... The fact you'd spend $58 dollars to buy them is also a pet peeve of mine

Drivers who react poorly to my attempt to zipper merge.
Drivers who attempt to zipper merge when I'm not in the mood.

People who slow down driving through tunnels. I drive through Pittsburgh often. There are a lot of tunnels. The speed limit doesn't change once you hit the tunnel. It's still 55. But there's something that triggers Elmer when he hits that tunnel -- something in that brain determines, every time, that he better slow down to 45. It's maddening.

That's why shovels were invented.
had an 8+ footer in the yard last year (my house backs up to open space full of all the stuff these things eat)

tried to kill it with a flathead & it was like trying to cut a 4" thick leather strap in two. except the snake slithered & made insanely evil noises.

too close to neighbors for a shotgun, unfortunately

the battle of man vs beast persists

My wife will turn down the radio at the drop of a hat, pulling up to the ATM, passing a cop parked on the side of the road, going through a toll both to get a ticket, just to name a few. There is no human interaction in any of these events, yet, as soon as I approach, boom, volume decreases. IDK.

for some reason the descriptor, “grown *** man” has always bothered me. It sounds so ignorant for some reason

Men competiting in womens sports and acting like i'm the weirdo for thinking that's uncool

My neigjbors..who all have toys...boats, campers...trailers they use for their toys that may have nothing on them...and they park em in the street and leave em there for several days...

People who park on both sides of the street when your street is not wide enough so an emergency vehicle cannot get thru if they need to, are my for realz peeves.

If I may piggyback off #2...neighbors parking boats, trailers, cars, etc. on the side of their house in a subdivision.

Beats the street. Last week my neighbor back out and hit a car because he had very little room due to idiots who parked on both sides of the street. Yes it is his fault..he hit the car, but they left him so little room they were begging for it.

Makes sense. I get tired of seeing my neighbor's old boat parked right next to my house. Some people just need to not own toys if they don't have a good place to put them.

1. Kevin Kugler saying #B1G Afterdark a thousand times while I’m trying to watch a baseball game.
2. Unlicensed vehicles. I’m not really concerned that the government isn’t getting their money but I am about 99% sure they also don’t have insurance.

Agree. Our HOA is supposed to help police that **** but everyone is so cool nobody ever rats anyone out. Double edged sword. But yes..I would get tired of an old piece of **** boat next to my house to....though I can't complain to loud because we are not to have sheds in my hood so I added a non permitted addition to side of my house and use it as a shed.....I put it to far over for the easement guidelines...and my neighbor who could have caused me a ton of trouble instead loaned me tools during the build. Haha.

People who burn down cities and kill innocent people in the name of justice and equality.
People who groom and rape children in the name of inclusion and equality.
Presidents and corporations who encourage the above.
Hypocrites who come to a sports message board and act sanctimonious AF while running down people who don't look like them. While chastising those who don't lick the boots of their mob and the current thing.

Stepping in dog **** when I mow the yard, and I don't even own a dog.
I'm gonna add to this.

My neighbor got a 3rd dog (puppy) they always took it out the front to ****. I kept finding it when I mowed and eventually I said something and it stopped, but it never should have happened. When the dog was big enough to use the steps and starting going in the backyard. I noticed it was eating, what their other dogs were $hitting.

Little bit of Karma there :p

What’s the reason for direction? We have those black rat snakes those suckers can grow up over 6 feet but as long as I see them I let them alone, we just don’t have any issues with rodents
If you see a snake crossing the road, pay attention if it's going to higher ground....means rain 🌧

The park backwards guys. Why? Ask one sometime and you'll get a treatise in idiotic thinking.
Leave faster. It's too hard to back up and leave. Eaaaaah!

Guys with trucks the size of a small state that wouldn't think of using its utility.
We all know what the deal is but why do I need to know?

Nothing else to talk about around here.

I got two…both involving any gas station/convenience store.

1) Always gonna be the scratch off turds holding up the line. I love the way they pick out tickets like they are John Nash busting a code.

2) The “manager” acting like he/she is busy with some spreadsheet in the backroom you can see or the next register while the line is 10 deep on the one open register. Newsflash…you ain’t Billy Beane crunching numbers. Please just let me pay for my beer and go.
Love both these...

that’s a different twist, a snake on the road means rain and a black snake means heavy rain. But like my dad would always say, all signs fail in dry weather. Hell the wind has been out of the east and southeast most of the month of may and still haven’t gotten anything substantial

Waiting in line to check into a hotel behind old people. Its like they've never done it before - ever. A million questions and oblivious to the people waiting behind them.

Legend has it that if you find a dead snake on the road, you should hang it belly up over the nearest fence. Supposed to make it rain.

And it works every time - eventually.

Checking in behind people with kids is even worse. I usually get behind SuperDad who thinks the person behind the desk is his family's personal concierge. And he's going to make that poor bastard plow through every dining and entertainment option until their entire stay is covered.

My ultimate peeves.
1. People who don’t put the shopping cart in the cart corral outside. Lazy sacks of monkey shite.
2. People with vehicles worth more than 50k who park right next to the cart corral. Always comes off as a power move to me.

1. Girls who flop their hair over the back of the airplane seat covering my TV screen.
2. If you take shoes and socks off on the plane and kick feet up we're going to have a problem.
