What is some of your Pet Peeve's

[WinterDeere]

New rain parka hoods.

Old hoods were fine. The last two purchased, different makes, have hoods so long that they fall down to nose or mouth level unless you are wearing a cap. There are no adjustments on them. Walking around blind must be the new fashion.

I guess us guys with long necks and those of you with short necks need separate hoodies! I would love if I could wear the hood on any of my Carhaart jackets, without the weight of the whole jacket hanging off the top of my head, and jamming down on my neck when I move my arms. Those hoods are way too short!

The hoods I complain about are OK vertically, but far too long horizontally.

Oh, yeah! I see what you mean, now. But kind of nice that you can pull them forward to block wind from the side, or slide them back to expose your face.

Hood forward are for the Amazon package porch pirates.

What I need are underwear suspenders and I see the 'Hold Up Suspender Company' make them. Something entirely new in men's XL suspenders for the big and tall man as these are made to wear under your shirt next to your skin with a thick ace bandage type sweat wicking strap.

Imagine an ace bandage sweat wicking strap!
Then Imagine those on after Taco Bell Tuesday!

New pet peeve: Thinking of a really good peeve to post in the middle of the afternoon, only to forget it when you sit down at the computer in the evening!

I remembered! People who refer to slotted screws or screwdrivers as “flat heads”. A round head slotted screws is not a “flat head screw”, nor is a slotted pan head, and there is no such thing as a “flat head screwdriver”.

Well, ill keep calling it a flat head.

It does annoy me just a bit when people say something about concrete drying, call it "cement", or worse yet, when somebody says they poured asphalt....

Without being remotely political; like the image... I hate when people dont seem to know what county they live in, or if they are in the city, ect, when local political stuff happens. "I live in Xyz Estates and I didnt get to vote on the mayor of Xyx" no crap, you're not in the city. Or "Why didnt we get to vote on the music park", cause that is across the county line. Why can't my kids to go X school, its closer to my work. Thats cause its Not your County... People really thought they get to vote on NYC's mayor, when they arent in the city?

NYC will be peeved when they realize, "you get what you voted for".

 

[ultrarunner]

Living in California I hear this a lot…

Maybe more accurate is the majority of voters got what they voted for…

It’s not unusual to “Win” by a very narrow margin in many cases… we have had some 50.5 wins here.

For some reason I have never missed a vote but almost never has my vote gone for the winning candidate…

My point though is, how does a voting age adult not realize what county they live in, and that they don't get a say in the neighboring county or city? I mean, isnt that something you probably should know?

These are the same people who claim their freedom of expression is being suppressed, when their employer rightly fires them for breaking company policy on disclosures or employee interactions.
