It should be standard equip ;)

Agreed. I just went out to test my 2013 Chrysler. You can lock the keys in the car but you have to work at it. If you leave the key/remote in the ignition, and open the door you get an annoying chime and you are unable to lock the drivers door with the electrical switch on the door. BUT you can still lock the door by pressing down on the mechanical door button. and if the rest of the doors were already locked, which they could be, you would be locked out. You would have to be an idiot to do that, but the world is full of idiots:D

My 05 silverado will not lock with the key in the ignition. I usually pull it out a little to stop the chimes, hit the power locks. close door, done.
As for getting back in, I hit the open button on the key fob. One push drivers door unlocks ,two pushes unlocks all the other doors. If battery dies in the key fob, I have an extra key in my wallet, plus, one hidden around the truck.

T.J.

My neighbor has a Chrysler product and every now and then locks his keys in the vehicle while it's still running.



My old Tacoma will automatically unlock the door if the keys are in the ignition. My Subaru would too. My Ford doesnt have that feature, but it has the touch pad on the drivers door. The savings from calling a tow truck to unlock the door have more than paid for that particular option:thumbsup:

that particular option saved my bacon more than once in times past.:thumbsup:

Things that annoy me? How about the legions of morons telling others to "drink plenty of fluids" when it's hot?
Duh, you think so?

Thanks for posting that. It has really become an epidemic, spreading from the TV weatherperson to the average citizen, who must feel the rest of us are all panting close to death a few steps away from the fluids that could save us.

PS: If they are really technical, they say "stay hydrated".

Every change in the weather seems to be accompanied by dire warnings of some kind, any more; akin to giving every storm a name, as discussed in other threads.

I have to admit, I'm annoyed when I go to TBN from a Google search, and instead of letting me read the post, a huge banner pops up urging me to join TBN, so to avoid the pop-up, I have to make sure I'm logged in first.

I try not to get annoyed at much, but people dumping trash on my front right-of-way do annoy me. It's mostly beer bottles, so you also know they're drinking and driving. I don't mind hitting the cans with the mower nearly as much as the bottles.

I got a chuckle out the "metric" posts. We were on-track to join the rest of the world in 1983, but that was considered "anti-business" so it was one of the first things Reagan killed. That's why our cars are half metric and half SAE (can't call it "imperial" because even the British don't use it anymore) at a cost of many $billions a year. I get annoyed when I'm working on a piece of equipment, and the geniuses who owned it before me were too lazy to locate the correct thread, so they just jammed in whatever they had on-hand.

I do get annoyed at parasites who prey on the weak. I refer to payday loans and car title loans, but most especially car title loans. There's a car title loan company in town that has a big lot full of used cars for sale. Three guesses where they got all those low-miles cars for pennies on the dollar. All the people who used to have those cars are now poorer, and may not even have a way to get to work anymore. They can repo a car for non-payment of a $200 loan. It's evil, should be illegal, and they're obviously making money hand over fist, because it seem slike 2/3 of the ads on the Austin stations are for car title and payday loans (and the rest are for ambulance chasers). I'm annoyed that America seems to have gotten stupider over the last 50 years. I know I have, but the a big chunk of the rest of the country seems to have made a race out of it.

I read through this thread, and finally found what annoys me - you! Thinking you have the right to puff ye stinking cemetery sticks where other people have to smell and choke on the mess. Then, throw ye litter on the ground.

Ok, sorry for the little rant - no harm meant to you personally. Hey, I love us all here on this forum! But, I still don't like to have to put up with second hand coffin nails.

Great thing is their habit reduces their existence.

"Visit them on Facebook to find out more" :cool: WTH!

In my younger years and right on into my senior years I let things put me into a cussing demeanor, but I have to say, in the past 5-6yrs. I have really learned how to just let it go. All through my life the way people described me was, "he could give a s_ _ _ if the world took a flip flop" but they were wrong and didn't know it. I let crap eat at me and they just didn't know. But the biggest relief in my life came when I realized it wasn't the world that was screwed up, it was me. Now when I want to cuss about someone or something I do this, is that really messing with me, or am I letting it mess with me? 99% of the time its me letting it happen. I enjoy life so much more now and it only takes a couple seconds to let things pass rather than let it ruin a day. Hey, a great day to all of you, and a happy 4th coming to you.

It really annoys me how my boxers hike up on me after driving my tractor. I have to stop and adjust and get everything in place again. Really annoying!

Here's just a few:



Local TV newscasts

The 9/10 of a cent in the price per gallon of gas

Oncoming motorcyclists who ride an inch or two inside the centerline

Any ad (print, TV, radio) for ANY car dealer

Slow dial-up internet

Shrinking product sizes to hide price increases

Savings account interest rates - just make it 0.00% and make it easier for everyone

Robo-callers



Happy Independence day to all.
