Peeve? What has happened to manners and common courtesy? Many examples, but let's start with smacking gum. You see coaches rudely chewing gum with their nasty mouths wide open. That's bad enough. But when some old lady does it on a plane in the seat behind you, well.... I asked her nicely to cease smackin', she frowned but did stop. Then during the approach she was doing it again. I unbuckled my seatbelt and started to get up, but her husband quickly said something to her, and she stopped again.
You can chew gum with your mouth closed. Practice it, if you have to.
Thankyaverymuch.
What about Donnie Barmore?Quote:

Is it really so hard to play/sing the National Anthem without all the stupid embellishments, improvisations, interpretations, and artistic liscenses???
Let's start with people that call anyone that disagrees with them a "libtard". ;)Quote:

What happened to "inside voices?" Maybe people in public places have to "scream" to be heard over loud TVs. Regardless, no one practices common courtesy anymore. It's all about being as loud and as obnoxious as possible.Quote:

Seems to be a problem at the blinker factory. Bunch of faulty bulbs rolling off the line. That has to be the reason why I haven't seen the first driver use one today.
People who use multiple question marks when just one would suffice. It feels to me the same as writing in all caps.

A notable exception would be my brother. He prefers it, especially in written correspondence, for efficiency reasons. It also takes a lot more effort to get those two b's out. I've come around on it and find the b's are quite superfluous for day-to-day use (in much the same way that "y'all" is superior to other ways of denoting a group). I reserve the b's to better distinguish between probability in the statistical sense and probably in the "Lord willing and the creek don't rise" sense.Quote:

Graduation ceremonies are examples of how much our society has gone down hill. Even "well to do" people act like fools. Evidence that money does not buy class.
I bet some who read this will not understand the problem with yelling and screaming for "little Johnny" as he receives his high school (or college) diploma.
People who sit on the end of an open row seats or chairs then give you the eye when you say excuse me and try to get by them to a middle seat. People who do this at funerals are the worst.
Do like I do: step on their feet, shove your butt into their face, and pass gas, knee them in the legs, whatever!Quote:

The continued confusion/blurring of Memorial Day with Veterans Day...
One is for those that served, the other is for those that GAVE ALL...
True, and one of the things I never thought about. I always seem to use all our national days to celebrate both groups.Quote:

The confusion seems to get worse every year. My theory is that Veterans Day is rarely if ever part of a long weekend. Memorial Day, deservedly gets much more attention that it once did due to the long weekend and social media.Quote:

Everyone claiming this (June 21) is the longest day of the year. Does it have more than twenty four hours? It has the longest daylight. I always say it is the shortest night of the year.
They say that because more hours of sunlight make the day seem longer.Quote:

I was a heartbeat away from getting t-boned by someone texting (or just paying more attention to phone than driving) and driving while they ran the redlight at the intersection by Toyota and Ryan's yesterday. Had no less than 6 cars attempted to fully run me off the road, block traffic by going 35 on the interstate, and brake-check me today.Quote:

What about people who are on their phone while in line at the store, bank, or restaurant(while ordering food). Holy crap! Handle your business then get in line when you are done.
That REALLY tics me off!!!!!! They are not paying attention to the cashier or putting their crap in bags!!! Then, I'm waiting for them to write a check and finish what should have already been done.Quote:

Seeing lspoo cups, plates, and napkins for sale at a local establishment today. I threatened to buy them and burn them. However, I am not sure my truck would have started with that stuff in the bed, much less the cab. I am pretty sure any good Chevy has a crappy merchandise sensor in it somewhere.
Stopped by the WM Academy yesterday. I decided I'd go over to check out the fall selection for team apparel. This is the least they've ever had in Tech gear and the most they've ever had in lsu gear. Who markets for these people in WM?
Farmerville Walmart's like an LSU game day. Disgusting, and makes me crazy. Not sure who to be mad at, though. If you look at the alumni statistics, Union Parish is BY FAR ... like it isn't even close ... The U-P is TECH Country. Given that fact, you'd have to think Farmerville Walmart is either completely stupid, or our folks are among those buying that crap.Quote:

When half of their items are rung up, they realize they forgot something and have to go all the way to the rear of the store to get it. Or they don't have enough money to pay for their stuff. There wasn't a price in the computer for one of their items, so Mickey has to go to the other end of the store to get the price from Goofy. They need some cigarettes.....and they did NOT go to the register where the cigarettes are located...so the cashier has to walk to the other end of the store to get them...then the guy says...no...I wanted the longs or the crushproof box!!!.....which initiates a second trip for the cashier!

I committed one of my own peeves this week. Started mowing the yard late in the evening, while some folks are probably putting kids to bed. And I didn't even get the yard completely mowed.
Nah, if it is for the kids it doesn't matter. I should have said it peeves me when I'm the one who ends up rolling it up at home or at the office.Quote:
