What is some of your Pet Peeve's

[Shawn T. W.]

I'll look at tomorrow if I remember ...

This is what I found ...

IIRC a message came up which said a tire was "low" ... I don't remember what that number was ... That was over four years ago, I've managed just fine without it since!

I got to thinking maybe there was another page in this display, I didn't see any buttons though ... Then I saw a bunch of buttons on the steering wheel ... I poked at them,and eventually found this!

So it seems to be in there so somewhere ... I set it back to the way it was, and no intention of using it ... I'll double-check the air psi before I actually drive it ... Which could be a few weeks from now ... I don't like change or all this electronics in the trucks ... Along with the stupid multi cylinder crud, which I finally figured out how to shut that off after every time I put it in drive! I bought an 8 cylinder, I want to use them all!

I remember my dad wearing an auto-winding wrist watch back in the 60’s. Probably a cheap Timex. So the technology has been around for quite some time.

My father had one back then too. ISTR he still had to wind it...maybe he didn't wave his arms around enough.

Usually happened when it wasn't frequently worn. The auto winder only gave you a day or two of shelf life, it wasn't exactly an 8-day movement.

Multiple adapters for windshield wipers these days are a pita. I can't figure out the rear wiper on the 19 Ford Edge and it pisses me off. It has 4 adapters with it and none of them seem to work.

I forgot about them, yes they are a pia. You could cut down the cost of the wipers if they could do away with them lol.

Rear wipers are a PITA to find replacement blades for. Some even seem to be dealer-only items, very few seem to be stocked by any but the larger parts stores.

Sometimes I'll just refill the holder with a decent part of an old front wiper; streaks don't matter as much on the back window.

My pet peeve is that we have to replace the entire wiper arm instead of just the rubber like we did back in the day. Expensive and wasteful.

Agreed! It should still be fairly easy to salvage the rubber from an old front wiper blade to use in the back wiper. Might have to bend some thin metal tabs, at least if this fails on the road it won't be catastrophic.

TV game shows stink anymore. For years my wife liked to watch Wheel of Fortune.... can't hardly get through an episode anymore.

The producers want complete fools on the show then we have to spend 10 minutes interviewing them... like we all want to know more. It's about them, not the game.

"So Biff, it says here you deliver pizza on stilts... tell us all about it!"

"Veronica Dingledoo from Armpit New Jersey... you're into rock skipping..."

I miss the days when a panel would spin around with the new contestant. They'd say their name and begin the game.... then spin them BACK around after they lost!
