What is some of your Pet Peeve's

[Sprinkler Fitter]

My wife, and I love her dearly, all the time I ask her a question and get this long spiel. Now I say "yes or no"...2 or 3 letters.
Sometimes I think she has Hank Kimball's brain!

I have to remind my wife all the time when I ask her something, I’ll interrupt her and say it’s just a yes or no question

Fat guys in diesel pickup trucks wanting to race me when I'm in my 911 turbo. What is going on in that little brain....

Years ago people would say something was one of a kind. Now it's "one off"! Off of what?

'One off' is a british term meaning made once, not repeated.

Happens all the time ... they think their truck is better until the game reaches a curve.

That would be a moment when I need to duck by saying to get to the point.....

When you ask someone what time it is, and they first want to tell you how to make a watch.

Just went through similar this am. Asked an employee exactly what time something occurred last night. "Well, it was about 1130". Was it 1130 or earlier? Because we are waiting on a timed six hour chemical reaction here. "Oh, well, it was probably closer to 12". Killin me

People who feel the need to post to a thread despite having nothing useful to say on or off the topic -- and frequently it's the latter.

I have the same problem with guys in under-powered German sports cars, when I'm in my SRT.

j/k... I love those 911's. Used to own one, many years ago. Fun cars, they handle like they're on rails, if not the most powerful thing on the road.

What is "bespoke", Alex?
