What is some of your Pet Peeve's

[Oaktree]

Keep in mind that some years ago the US signed an agreement with our neighboring countries to honor the credentials their commercial vehicles/drivers have when they cross over into the US. So the rules/laws/training we require for US drivers do not apply to those coming over from Mexico or Canada. Had several discussion about this when I was still working and had to interact with drivers coming out of Canada. So many of them couldn't read or speak English - no idea how they managed to navigate without being able to read road signs!

Since New England borders on Quebec we do get a lot of primarily French-speaking Canadian drivers. Enough so that some road signs here are bilingual. Mexican/Spanish-speakers not so much. Dunno about Mexico, but one would think that Canadian standards would be similar to ours.
Still, there's a one-lane covered bridge not far from me that every 3-4 years gets hit by a trucker trying to cross it. They always use a lame excuse like their GPS took them that way, but one would think you'd have enough common sense to know your truck wasn't gonna fit thru that bridge.

I used to live next to one, and near several, antique covered bridges in Bucks County, PA. A truck would wipe out one or another every few years, and leave us residents stranded with long detours.

PennDOT hated them, and sometimes forced the townships to take over repairs and maintenance, versus tearing down and replacing with modern bridges. Sometimes they’d make them one-way only, which was a total PITA, but helped avoid collisions by two people trying to pass one another on a one-lane covered bridge.

Pet peeve:

Gas stations where the asphalt or concrete is saturated with spilled fuel around the pumps, particularly diesel. Nothing like tracking diesel on your shoes into your vehicle.

Worse is dog poop. Don't notice until down the road wife asks: "Did you fart?" Especially nice with carpet floor mats.

Just took the puppies for rabies shots, neither rides in vehicles or is really leash trained. Anyhoo one in the kennel one in my lap guess which one panicked and had to poop. Now they are not really little at 60# at a little over 5 months.

I'll counter that with a baby's diaper. I've never seen dog crap on an asphalt parking lot, but have seen disposable diapers on several occasions.

If you step on a diaper on an asphalt parking lot, you need some new glasses.

Will it squirt that high?

Why do you appear to be defending people who dump dirty diapers in the parking lot? I could say the same thing about stepping in dog ****, which is what my post was in reply to.

Mine: spit (or chewing gum) on the concrete in front of the gas pump.

Runner-up: traffic rotaries.
