What are your pet peeves?

[Moonliner]

You DON'T need to stop for an ambulance on the other side of a divided hiway.

If you are on a main road, don't just suddenly stop to let someone turn right off a side street.

Don't stop to dial your cell phone in the middle of the road.

You ARE allowed to actually go the speed limit. You can even go a little bit faster without fear of being flogged.

Your hi-beams have NO use in a densely populated area.

Thank you.

If you're going to attempt to insult me, make sense in the attempt.

In a confrontation with an angry man and his friend at a gas station over the weekend they called me, within seconds of each other, a "fat wop" and a "punk ass nig ger."

First of all. Who the hell says "wop" any more?

Can I just intergect that knowing you, neither of these 'insults" makes one damn bit of sense?

But I reserve that word for people much, much larger than you. Or larger than me.... since I dont want to use that word on myself, i cant say it about you.

But.... yeah.... wop????

And what kind of description is punk?... I'm with NA...

ABSOLUTELY. Yes, pedestrians have the right of way. And knowing this, it gets abused. Because if they do dart out into the street, I'm not in the right to EVER mow them down. Ergo, Ventura Boulevard is a nightmare of cell chattin', Coffee Bean carrying traffic darters. Use the CROSSWALK! (Because when I'm cell chattin' & carrying my Coffee Bean or Starbucks, I use the crosswalk. See, it can be done. )

I don't have very many "pet peeves". Mine are relatively minor and revolve around grammar.

For example, and this is one that shouldn't bother me, but it does. When dictating a phone number, please say "zero" instead of "oh". Let's say the afformentioned number begins "310". When dictating this number, why wouldn't you say "three-one-zero"? Why "three-one-OH". "O" is a letter, not a number.

I often hear this all day long, so I accept it with a smile.
Maybe I'm an overly particular ass. However, I'm an ass who always says "zero".

Does my ass look punk in these jeans?

No, your ass is just punk - the jeans have nothing to do with it.

Alex,

I have seen you in person, and while I don't even care to guess your weight (because numbers are misleading) you are not fat. Unless you gained a ton of weight between the last MA and now. No, you are not waif thin, but you are not fat.

I agree with BTD.
