1)  After the missus does the dish washer then I have to remove all the upside-down bowls/glasses etc the re-stack it and re-do with another load waiting.

2)  When I unload the clothes washing and there is a random tissue ripped to shreds everywhere....PS NOT MINE

Allow me to add to this please.


Not one dish rinsed off before placing it in the dishwasher with food remnants everywhere.

The garbage disposal used as basically a food trash receptacle.

Any resealable bag left unsealed for the contents to go stale.

I live in a residential area so I’m on a lot roads that are 2 lanes with room to park cars in front of houses

It gets a little dicey when there are 2 cars parked on the street and there is a car headed to you from the opposite direction 


Common courtesy is to pull over and let the other car go by and then you go


Everytime I am the car that pulls over, the other car decides to be the worlds safest driver and go 5 mph.  I pulled over for you, freaking move so I can also get to my destination!!!!

Being behind someone on a on ramp doing 45mph and the traffic on the freeway is doing 75mph.

The toilet paper roll goes over the top, not under. Don't be that guy.

When you say thank you and get a "no problem".  If it was a problem, I would not expect that person to do what they did.  You're welcome, a nod in your direction, or a smile works way better for me.  

When you say hello to someone and they ignore you.

If you pay cash for something and receive your change in a wadded up mess.

When people don't return their carts at the grocery store.

 Drivers in general.

That and, tape measures with 1/32” increments on them. I hardly ever use 1/8” never, 1/16’s. Useless lines on a tape. Who’s gonna cut a piece of copper at 36 15/16 inches? Sounds stupid just saying it.

Yes because 1 and 15/16 sounds sooo much better than 1 and 3/4. 🤣🤣

My biggest pet peeve? 

People who wear pajama bottoms to the grocery store, ESPECIALLY young men. Fuck sake, nothing says you are unemployed and live with your girlfriend and her parents more then a dude wearing pajama bottoms out in public. I so badly want to go up to them and say something, but mostly I just wince and look around and give head nods to all the other men in the area who are displaying the same amount of disgust. 

I'm debating disclosing another pet peeve but I'm not sure I feel like getting a bunch of thumbs down this early in the day. Perhaps after some late day drinking.

Not sure why this one bothers me so much but when you let someone in front of you in traffic and they don’t wave? Infuriating! If I were driving a hoopty I would so crash into your ungrateful ass right now. Instead, I’ll just quietly hurl insults in your general direction.

I was just about to post this... There's only one way.

I did have a girlfriend years ago that had a couple of cats. She said it kept them from unrolling the entire roll. I don't have cats, so over the top is the only way.

2: Machine operators who attempt a fix on a machine that  they have no business messing with. When they finally call you, they can't tell you what they did, so now you're left trying to sort out 2 problems because they usually weren't working on the right thing.

Proper way to measure is from the center of the anus to just beyond the tip

You should do land surveying work because I'd love to build a fence 10 feet into my neighbors property.

That's why the metal hook on a measuring tape is so handy.   You've got an "edge" to hook it into.

That and, tape measures with 1/32” increments on them. I hardly ever use 1/8” never, 1/16’s. Useless lines on a tape. Who’s gonna cut a piece of copper at 36 15/16 inches? Sounds stupid just saying it. 



 

See, apparently every little fraction of an inch does indeed matter when measuring pipes.

Paccar trucks(pete/kenworth) thinking that making more things on the truck mulitplexed with more wiring, chassis modules, solenoid valves, etc is a lick better than hardwired. All we do is chase electrical problems. The wire size is much smaller and the harnesses are now wrapped with a single layer of a bit tougher electrical tape. None of it works better than the old school way. Always some update to do too. Or the oem software we use doesn't work. Very maddening. Engineers should have to service the shit they come up with before it is put into production.

Oh the SAE shit burns me bad. I can never figure out if 297/1024ths is bigger or smaller than 1/4".

You make sound like re-engining a known solid older rig might be the way to go…?

2nd that engineers should have to service the vehicles they design.  Have you seen the oil change procedure on the 6.7 Rams? You have to screw a cover onto the filter after taking it off the engine then turn it and remove it out the passenger side wheel well, all while holding a hot, oil-filled filter. Fucking joke.

I so badly want to go up to them and say something, but mostly I just wince and look around and give head nods to all the other men in the area who are displaying the same amount of disgust.

This is the lamest one I read on this whole list (narrowly over the guy who gets bothered by people smoking weed on their own porch, if it was a bottle of whiskey it’d be fine right?)

Why do you care what another man is wearing on his lower half? It’s not indecent exposure, it’s literally just a different fabric on their legs. I literally did this yesterday, as I do pretty much every time I go anywhere. Plad, fuzzy, warm, PJ bottoms, that’s the #1 option once it gets too cold for Bball shorts. Work pants are for work, not my fault you enjoy being uncomfortable. And what exactly can you do in your jeans that I can’t in my pjs? One time I had a bad cut on my ass, didn’t wanna miss a race, so the next weekend I raced 250 & open A in sweatpants.


I never wore jeans to school once. Sweats, bball shorts, or pjs every single day. That’s the last time that I ever had someone say something about it so I’d love for someone to come up to me in a grocery store with some fashion advice lol. I definitely do not live with my gf and her family. 

My biggest pet peeve is people who don’t mind their own fuckin business!

I think you’re the type of person we are all talking about.

Someone drinks whiskey next door on their porch, I wouldn’t smell it.

Exactly. And the weed thing does get old. My neighbor does it nearly every day. At the grocery store, hell sometimes even in traffic. It’s annoying.

Do you also wear a ball cap backwards 100% of the time?

I'm trying to complete the visual.

Had a customer with a 2020 Pete 389 powered by a Paccar. Seventeen thousand miles on it and couldn’t keep it out of the dealership. Yanked it out and built em a fresh Cat. The new stuff is trash. Way too much unreliable electric smart garbage. It’s so smart it’s stupid.
