DrunkBomber Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Alex Rodriguez People comparing what Vick did to hunting Prepaying for gas Being asked to pull around and wait for your order at a drive through When people let their dog s*** in my yard and pretend to pick it up with a bag When people who have a job that is mainly dependent on communicating and they dont speak english Call centers in India Myspace celebrities and the reality shows that follow (actually reality shows in general) People that baby talk with their dogs Text messaging while driving Cheap people that will never pick up a tab, and religiously break down what everyone owes on a bill no matter what it is Flying standby Humidity Poker on tv (especially B list celebrities playing poker) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniKrush Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 (edited) QUOTE(DrunkBomber @ Nov 5, 2007 -> 10:42 PM) The people on 290 East that get off on Manheim to do the Manheim trick, and stay in the exit and merge right back on to avoid the traffic, in essence creating the traffic jam. It saves me 10-15 minutes every time, best trick in the book. BTW, it seems you've turned this into a 'things you hate' list, not necessarily pet peeves.

IlliniKrush Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 It most definitely saves me time. You bypass a ton of bumper to bumper traffic and it takes 2 minutes to get back in. Hell if it didn't save any time, why would anyone ever do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitewashed in '05 Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Since were on the traffic subject... I hate driving in Chicago, especially downtown. Everyone is such in a god damn rush!!!!! One thing that really boils my blood is when there is no green arrow on the light so only 2 or 3 cars max are able to turn on a green light.

Obviously it saves time lol, but Id rather be part of the solution then the problem. What kind of person would I be if I committed my own pet peeves? Whats worse is I might be giving people ideas.

IlliniKrush Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 (edited) I'll build off that left hand turn deal. People who are slow off the line suck. I'm not talking burning rubber, but way too often the first car in the left hand turn lane takes 2-3 seconds to even begin to move, causing 2-3 cars well behind him to miss the light. Anticipate the light and start moving. Oh and people who still stop on a red light with a green arrow (while turning right) suck.

This could be the universe getting even with you, for every time you jam up traffic on 290 with the Manheim trick it adds a few seconds on to peoples off the line time.

NorthSideSox72 Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Since I've been travelling, I'll break out the air travel pet peeves... People who just stop in the middle of a busy airport walkway (usually while wheeling around a giant bag), thus causing everyone to walk into each other People who board ahead of their group number People who need 6 bins to get all their stuff through security (exception - parents with small children, which I imagine must be a royal pain to deal with) --- Not a pet peeve, but a funny - I watched someone recently who not only walked through the metal detector with her cell phone, but walked through while still speaking on it. Then looked surprised when it went off. The fact that she looked like the poster child for Valley Girl made it slightly funnier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
