Re: Your irrational pet peeves
People who complain endlessly about how bad a show is (most of the time it's Dexter or Walking Dead) yet still watch it every week. It seems like the only reason they still watch the show is to complain about it. Why?

This definitely applies to WWE fans, myself included (although I don't watch it every week)PensFanInDC wrote:People who complain endlessly about how bad a show is (most of the time it's Dexter or Walking Dead) yet still watch it every week.

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
Yep. When I was done watching wrestling (the last thing I saw was one of the old ladies giving birth to a hand....yeah that was it for me) I just stopped watching. I didn't dedicate hours of my life twice a week watching a show I didnt care for just so I could ***** about how bad it is.

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
at least for me, there is an attachment to what you remember was good about a particular show and the hope, albeit however miniscule of a chance that might be, that the show will return to form.PensFanInDC wrote:People who complain endlessly about how bad a show is (most of the time it's Dexter or Walking Dead) yet still watch it every week.

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
Equally bad is when someone mistakenly gets into a left- or right-turn-only lane when they want to go straight, and then they refuse to accept the consequences of their mistake and turn during the arrow light. For example, for the intersection where Fort Duquesne Boulevard meets Stanwix, the right lane on FDB is a right-turn-only with an arrow. But there is a parking lane straight ahead on FDB that makes some people think they can go straight from that right lane. So they'll sit there and want to try to go straight even though they have a green arrow staring them in the face and there are multiple cars behind them all waiting to turn right. That situation has led to several of the few times in my life where I have just held down my horn on someone (and I have installed extra-loud dual horns in my car).

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
Haha. I was guilty of this last weekend. I haven't been down there in over a couple years and didn't realize that lane ended. I was sitting in traffic for the Pirates game and didn't feel like looping around again which would have taken forever. Normally I would just turn though.Shyster wrote:Equally bad is when someone mistakenly gets into a left- or right-turn-only lane when they want to go straight, and then they refuse to accept the consequences of their mistake and turn during the arrow light.

IIRC, I ordered them from the J.C. Whitney auto-accessories catalog. I believe they were called “Highway Blasters” or something along those lines. The stock horn on my Hyundai was a little wimpy.60sixx wrote:You're the man.

When you're in an affluent community and there are people at stop lights collecting money for their soccer team. Remind me again why I'm going to subsidize the dues that your parents can easily afford? But in the mean time, thanks for halting traffic.

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
And yet the families are so "connected" that you'll NEVER see a cop pass though that intersection while the panhandling (yes, that's what it is) is going on.Godric wrote:Its illegal for them to effect traffic in anyway.shmenguin wrote:When you're in an affluent community and there are people at stop lights collecting money for their soccer team.

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
Is it bad that I do the same thing when I am driving close to the city and I see people asking for donations for their basketball team? I feel like kind of a dirtbag, but I am so crazy cynical about things.
The only time I really ever give money is to the THON kids, and that's about it.

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
Speaking of donations, I liked when I was coming out of Best Buy and there was a little black kid selling candy bars. Only he was clearly selling them for a raised price and an odd one that required you to have ones because he conveniently didn't have change.... Or you could just give him the extra buck. No thanks...
