Peeve of the Day

[cricketmd]

Did you have the red bumps and white crap in the back of you throat?

Yuck. I got lucky growing up. I had gotten strep throat several times from my friends and my parents had no money for doctors which = no antibiotics. I used to have to scrape that junk off frequently with popsicle sticks. It took every bit of a week to get over it each time and before the fevers would subside. I'd say you can survive it without antibiotics but its definitely NOT ideal.

Good gawd....anything else you care to bitch about?

Why, yes, thank you.

1. Ok, I get the express/15 items or less blah blah. But if you are standing there reeking of the smoke break you just took, picking your 3 inch finger nails and yammering to the cashier next to you (who has a full line) about what you did with your hoodlum friends last night and I ask if it is ok to put up my 18 items, JUST FRIGGIN TAKE THEM.

2. If you get in the express self check out line with a cart full of crap and need to sort your groceries by size, color and which cabinet they belong in, please figure out how to keep your paws off my 3 items that are going to be coming down the belt at you. FASTLANEDAMMIT

Pet Peeve;

1. Bra straps that are showing. Ladies, we don't want to see your bra straps unless you are walking on a catwalk and are working for Victoria Secrets. You don't like guys with their pants hanging down around their ass showing their underwear, we don't want to see your Wal-mart special either.

2. Lane divers. You know, the idiots who jump into the next lane right before a stop light just so they can get a few car lengths ahead of others, too bad they cut down the breaking distance for those cars behind them that are in that lane they just "dived" into.

3. The idiots at Gate 1 and 2 who can't seem to understand that the left lane on 235 is the lane that you need to be in in order to make a left turn into the base. Instead, they get in the middle lane of 235 and creep up until there is an opening in the left turn lanes and then jump in it, thus preventing the middle lane from being a through lane.

4. Drivers who constantly have their high beams on. Are you eff'ing blind!?! If you are driving down 235 at 0600 and are on the bumper of another car, turn your eff'ing high beams off or wait until the sun comes up if you can't see in the dark without a million candle-power spot light. Also, if you have fog lights on and it ain't foggy, your an eff'ing moron.

5. People who will drive around a parking lot trying to find the closest parking space to the store so they don't have to walk that far to a store that they are going to walk around in for an hour. If you are going to walk around a store for an hour walking an extra three minutes going from your car to the store is not going to kill you, if it does then you don't need to be walking around the store in the first place.

I personally don't wear Walmart specials. I wear Victoria's Secret brassieres.

People who race up the right-most non turning lane on NB 235 and, when they cross RT. 4 they dive into the lane to their left because their lane is ending. Not only that but, when a car is trying to merge when coming off RT. 4 they will then ride the bumper of the car in front of them and not let them merge into traffic.

Hypocrites!!

Can I play? I have one!

I just don't let 'em in. They know the lane ends; they just want to cut somebody off, hoping they get hit, even if getting hit means them cutting you off and taking part of your front end with them. Then they say, 'Well you didn't let me in!" I just answer, "Didn't you read the sign that says "Lane ends.....?!" Then follow that with, "Do the mirrors in that thing work?" Which is kinda silly to ask. Mirrors and turn signals get little use around here.

 

[SG_Player1974]

I just don't let 'em in.

Neither do I. It is always the bleeding heart driver that is one or two cars ahead of me that does!

There is ALWAYS someone on their phone, not paying attention, or just plain stupid and lets these people into the lane.

Don't get me started on the ones that come up that far right lane and need to turn left into the new Wildewood apartment complex...

:

I was just talking to my bus driver this morning about this. People are so distracted these days and not paying attention. This morning a man was struck and killed by a car on Suitland Parkway. It's soo sad and often preventable, if only people could try to pay more attention and slow down. Seems like every one is in such a rush and too distracted.

The person who will block traffic waiting for someone to load up a cart full of groceries so they can have that close parking spot. Really sucks when the lanes of the parking lot are all one way. Can't remember how they were in MD, but here they are all one way and it's such a pain because there is absolutely no room to go around them.

Well, 'in a rush,' yeah. My thought on that is, 'leave earlier; then you won't have to rush.'

Speaking of bus drivers - there is one that comes off the right lane of Pegg Rd mornings. Every darn time I see her, she is running red lights and cutting lanes in the middle of the intersection to get to the shorter left lanes as she heads onto the base. Followed her to the youth center one day and told her to knock it off.

Which look did you get from the bus driver? 'WTH are you talking about?' or "F/U!"(?)

Another pet peeve;

At the California Post Office, the A-holes who insist they are too important to park in the parking lot and instead park in front of the post office; especially the douche-nozzles who park in front of the drop off boxes.

Here's a novel idea, park you dumb ass in the parking lot like everyone else and stop blocking the boxes and road way, walk your fat ass a few feet, it's not going to kill you. I wish the shopping center would enforce the no parking but instead, every day there are numerous a-holes who think they have their own special parking and are too good to park in the parking lot.

There are no belts in the store I shop at and very little room in the bagging area. All say 15 items or less and it would be hard to put many more in there. Love that store. Wide aisles and people rarely block them. It's like they respect others or something. Plus I have only seen 1 car parked in the no parking zone.

Need to add though, they do talk on their phones as much as in MD.

 

[Bay_Kat]

Not feeling great today, some kind of stomach bug, but I had to go out. Seemed like everywhere I went, on the road or in a parking lot someone was turning or pulling out in front of me. My daughter finally said, let's just go home before some idiot hits us. I think I was invisible. It happened about 4 or 5 times and it would have been their fault every single time. People here just can't drive or more likely don't pay attention to what they are doing.

 

[RPMDAD]

It's not just down there Bay_Kat, i have days up here like that where i start to feel my truck is invisible. People pulling out in front of me or cutting me off, like they can't see a pickup truck coming at them.

I do that in Charlotte Hall. But I do not block mailboxes. I do this because I have degenerative joint disease in my back (amongst a slew of other health ailments) and I physically cant carry heavy boxes by myself all that way anymore and I have nobody to help me. Its why I'm at the post office to begin with - big boxes to mail, many of them. I ship out canned goods and other items I make at my own expense free to newly recovering brain surgery patients, cancer patients and newly widowed people. It has nothing to do with me not walking my "fat ass a few feet, its not going to kill you" or being a "dumb ass" or "douche nozzle". If you are offering to help me lug my boxes next time (albeit in Ch. Hall) please let me know!

While you may have a viable excuse, the people I see doing this at the California Post Office don't, they are not carrying boxes, they are not handicapped, they don't have handicap plates. They jump out of their vehicles and "bounce" across the street or park right in front of the boxes and Coffee Quarter and go sprinting into the post office. Most of them are not just running in to check their boxes, they are going over to the customer service side which means they are usually in there for at least ten minutes.

Now, since you don't use the California Post Office and I did not refer to you by name I fail to see how you could possible have taken my post personally and think I was talking about you. Maybe you can help me out and explain to me how you can take an event that occurs at least 20 miles from you in a different part of the county and think it is about you?
