A clip being inserted in an M1-Garand.

If he doesn't get his left thumb off the clip-eject button, that clip is never going to stay in the magazine well.

Those who call magazines "clips", are people who are trying to impress others with all their cool gun knowledge, when they actually don't know shit about guns. And by doing so, they just reveal their actual ignorance.

people who don't use turn signals.

also if you're going to cut me off in the left lane and not use your signal, at least step on it a bit to get up to left lane speeds.

And dumb fuck truck drivers who cut over to the left lane to pass another truck right before a big hill. Or ride in the left lane for miles and miles without thinking about the traffic behind. Fuckers....

I have used the emergency lane a few times just to get around those trucks, and yes, I made sure it was clear. Pissed them off for sure but I don't care.

Try this out, people who call a water heater a hot water heater. There is no reason to heat water that is all ready hot. I like drinking cool water so I guess I should get a cold water cooler.

I agree. Tractor-Trailers should be outlawed. Everything should go back to being moved by rail. The gas prices wouldn't be so high if they got rid of all those trucks.

When people talk on the cell phone while they walk on the treadmill.

When you see people flirting at the water fountain at the gym and you are sweating your ass off and need a drink.

3 - lots of driving things, but not so much any more - it's easier to just accept people are idiots and/or selfish

I've gotten pretty good at just accepting most of the things that used to irritate me about other people's driving. It's just not worth getting upset over, and I'm sure that I'm not a perfect driver myself. But the turn signal thing... I can't seem to get over how many people don't use their freakin' turn signals. I can't figure out if they don't realize that there is an actual purpose in using them, or if they just don't care. So they're either rude or stupid (or both), but either way, it irritates the crap out of me.

I know EXACTLY what that is.... but not by experience


Pet peeves -

1. Already been said, but people who don't take responsibility for their decisions. ("but I didn't know if I didn't pay my bills that they would shut my electricity off.... It's not my fault.")

2. "Anywho" - NOT A F'N WORD!!!

3. I hate it when you rent a DVD and it isn't rewound!!!

4. Ignorant statements.

I have two pet peeves:

When people type in caps over the internet.

When people type "loose" instead of "lose".

That works when you really really need a shower, but when you
really really really need to shower you can't drive or ride in a car without contaminating it :-)

Ahh...so we're talking grease and/or mud?
That is when you call a friend who has a pickup truck to come get you, and you ride in back to their house. Of course once you get there, they will likely insist on hosing you down in the yard before letting you in the house.

Poor use of turn signals while driving and poor use of puctuation while typing are 2 of my pet peeves.

I don't really mind when people call magazines "clips". I just smile and keep calling it a magazine, as I insert it into the magazine well.

Traffic lights. Especially traffic lights that stop you when no-one is on the cross street. But traffic lights in general are wasteful of energy, do not reduce accidents, and increase pollution.

When i discovered it was broken at 7:00am and i need to be at work at 7:30 - no i don't have any friends that live close enough to me to go shower at their house. I just sucked it up and took a freezing cold shower this morning so i would still be to work on time. Landlord is replacing the water heater tomorrow.

Holy bejeezus and squeeze the Charmin...something I can agree on with Mr. K.!

Grrrrrr...sittin' at a light, wastin' gas, nobody within sight for a mile either direction...and Aggie Dave sittin' behind a sign just waiting for you to blow through the light....Grrrrr.

I ask you guys...why in the world cannot traffic lights be coordinated? Too expensive? WTH? Compare that one-time cost to the cost of the extra pollution created! The time saved! Maintenance cost reduction!

My reality and yours are quite different.
