What is some of your Pet Peeve's

[Oaktree]

I feel the same way. The time was when radio broadcasts of sports were relegated to AM stations but that's changed; nearly every night the local FM station has a Red Sox game on. Not only do I not care about sports; I especially don't care to listen to a game when it's almost a given they are going to lose, as was the case last year. During football season several of the stations I prefer are covering that... I'd rather listen to a golf game or ping pong tournament.

What's worse are the pre-and post-game shows. Dunno about other teams, but the New England Patriots network has a 3 hour pregame show, and a 3 hour postgame show, either one of which is longer than the actual game!

Like you, I have zero interest in sports, but you'd think that 6 hours of jabber would be more than even the most diehard fan could take.

And I thought I was the only one that had zero interest in sports. What a waste of time. Bunch of gay guys run around pat each other on the bum for doing what they get paid millions of dollars to do

Same way here, no interest whatsoever....and I thought I was the only one LOL

I've never understood why people being paid that well had to keep fighting over the same ball.

They really should be able to afford one each.

Ya, or like my blonde friend said, that is a lot of pain they are going thru, just to get a quarter back.

This seems like a good time to inject some Archie Campbell humor...

My pet peeve today ~ companies that send sales ads to my email with an Unsubscribe option. I click on the unsubscribe option but the ads keep coming month after month. Grrr

Or, the unsubscribe link either doesn't work or takes you to their web site where you have to sign up in order to change your email options. Grrrrrr.

They get away with it, even though it violates the CAN-SPAM Act passed in 2003.

Sounds like all the Notre Dame crap aired around here during football season.
I couldn't give a furry rat's behind for any collegiate or professional sports. After all, it's all about the money, period.

Pet peeve: people mowing grass discharging toward the street with the chute wired up.... gonna hurt somebody someday or worse. Then the same people leave grass spread out onto the street without blowing it back or picking it up.

Yeah, this drives me nuts. Its mostly the rural areas around here that do that, you'd think farmers would know better.
