We had 2 little Maltese dogs, whose bark could wakeup the dead.

Sometimes the pits send their owners to the hospital.

As a property manager forbidding companion animals is a quick way to run afoul of the law…

So basically a doctors note supersedes the rental agreement.

Some are encouraged to be anything but friendly…

With legal marijuana the dog of choice are pits.

This is a big peeve of mine. Some people really do need a dog. Yet the current status makes it harder for those who legitimately need one.

My peeve has been pet cans with a pull tab top. Occasionally the tab snaps off but worse yet is top off leaves a razor sharp 1/4" edge around can. It's very hard getting food out and we had a cat years ago with a bleeding tongue from getting food left in can out. Tongue healed eventually but you'd think manufacturers could come up with a better design.
Maybe they should all switch to plastic bowl with foil top.

I did the very same thing to myself last weekend, not my tongue in cat food, but my finger in a grease gun tube. They use the same pull tab design on the larger 14 oz. tubes.

Full story: I had just gotten the last shot I was gonna get out of my 14 oz. grease gun, greasing spindles on the mower, and set it aside to change the cartridge before putting it away. Then I was working on chainsaws next, and when I went to grease a sprocket nose bar, I noticed the little Oregon push greaser I use for greasing nose sprockets was also empty.

"No problem," I think, the amount of leftover grease you throw away with each of those 14 oz. tubes is probably just enough to fill the Oregon push greaser. So, I unscrew the top from the big grease gun and swipe my finger around the inside of the end of the tube to collect up a big glob of the stuff to tuck into the Oregon greaser. Wow, does that semi-sharp burr of aluminum left by tearing off one of those lids do a number on a finger! I'm not sure if grease in the cut helped or hurt, but it healed quick enough.

Ouch!
I've done that too. There should be a better design. There are "pouches" for food, but squeezing it out leaves some. Maybe I'm the only one that cuts the end off of toothpaste tube when it's supposedly empty but still a lot left inside.

This is a big piece of mine

Here is another peeve of mine; autocorrect.
I changed "piece" to "peeve" twice, yet it still posted wrong

Or grease guns in general. Almost impossible to replace a cartridge without getting covered with grease. The old tube always seems to stick in the cylinder & putting it all back together is a general PITA, especially with your hands all greasy. As Fuddy noted, there ought to be a better design.
Gotta say, a lock & lube coupler sure does make using it way easier & cleaner!

Not just autocorrect, but predictive typing too. I don't have a smartphone so I don't know if either "feature" can be disabled on one, but both are the first things I turn off in a browser or webmail.
