What is some of your Pet Peeve's

They've only been standard in the US for maybe 3-4 years now, so you have to look for newer delivery trucks. Around here, all of the Amazon delivery trucks have them, and some of the UPS trucks. But FedEx and USPS has all older vehicles, with the older beepers.

I was more thinking construction equipment. Amazon doesn't deliver here, USPS carriers use their own vehicles and UPS/Fedex usually just pull over on the side of the road and carry the package to the house. I'm rarely the last delivery on the road.

I was Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) a bunch last year, and they're building a new parking garage there. It seems most of their equipment had the new type, but they were operating basically in and under a large hospital, so maybe they were forced to update sooner than others might.

Internet searches which give results for pages and sites which have been obsolete for years.
Searching for a specific item such as "ignition switch for 2020 Arctic Cat Blast" which brings up a plethora of results but none of them for the search item.

Search engines on vendors like Amazon, eBay, HomeDesperate, and Lower Expectations: Which are designed to waste your time looking for things you didn't search for, by using an "or" logic for every item in your search instead of an "and" logic. Search for 8mm flange nut. You get edible nuts, anything with 8mm, and anything with flange in it. I can get in the truck and drive the two-hours to the nearest Fastenal, to buy them if they have them, and drive then make the two-hour drive home in less time than it takes to try reading through all the results on any of the major online vendors. In the beginning they were a huge time saver for those of us who live rural. Now they are just a time sink.

If already brought up I'm bringing it up again after some shady tree RV repairs this weekend why and how do RV manufacturers use and get away with using wire nuts to join solid and stranded copper wire? not to mention using solid wire romex anywhere and every where. On boats it definitely isn't allowed or using wire nuts either Yet on rvs and travel trailers made to go on public roads at Highway speeds it is, and used everywhere even on newer models. Seems like these days I spend as much time repairing and upgrading substandard rv construction standards as l do actually enjoying my class c that's not even ten yrs old yet. I've problaby accumulated more tools I keep on my RV for repairs than some substandard so called RV repair shops. I think an rv should be brought into a ibew apprentice class on how not to wire things.
