Pet Peeves———- Who’s Gottum?

[Still Hunter]

When I'm busting my butt working on something and needing a hand.... instead of helping said person starts offering advice on how I should have done it different to start with.

Like the neighbor who's house is falling down around him and whose grass is three feet tall who wants to tell you how you should properly sharpen your lawn mower blade and wants to talk for three hours when you are "obviously very busy getting stuff accomplished!"

[MasterOfNothing]

People who use the bed of my truck as a trash can.

People who drive in the left lane when they are not passing someone, I dont care if you are doing 20 over. Someone else may want to go faster. Get over in the right hand lane. Burns me up.

The guy who throws his feed sacks in the bed of his truck and then drives down the road. Feed sacks all over the place. It ain’t just hunters. I’m talking about your local farmer, rancher.
Red light runners.
People passing in a no passing zone. No regard’s to anyones life.

[Gumbo Man]

A lot of good ones today that I was afraid to mention. I guess I’m normal after all. If I could just convince my wife of that.

Baggage Claim.

People that bring giant carry-ons onto play instead of checking them.

Basically, every other person on a plane with me.

Tell me...when the plane lands and first stops do all the not so smart people jump to their feet and start grabbing their carry on bags? If so I swear they never learn that it's going to be 10-20 minutes of standing in awkward positions before they unload passengers.

Should there be a limit? You tell us what it should be. I could care less about status. I have a great job that allows a lot of free time and I spend it on TBH.

Add wannabe moderators to my list....

Another that just happened: cell phone zombies walking in front of you then suddenly stopping. Makes me wanna stiff arm them haha

I say "no problem" or "no worries" to thank you all the time. Never in a million years did I think a grumpy, judgmental old man would spend time dwelling on it.

I must respectfully disagree with you, sir.

I am neither grumpy (except when my husband enters the room i’m in—talking—without ever bothering to notice that I’m otherwise focused) nor old (millions of dollars in R&D, hundreds of highly trained specialists, and one very supportive husband have seen to that) and yet I, too, am baffled by those who look upon common courtesies and social graces as a “waste of time” or a nuisance.

I won’t go so far as to say a response like “no problem” is rude. I will, however, say that it’s ill mannered. Why? Because it’s dismissive. And nobody appreciates being dismissed. But even more disappointing than your misguided view of mannerliness is the lack of civility you demonstrate in your final statement. When you lowered yourself to epithets (I.e., grumpy old fart), you not only showed a lack of ability to construct a cogent argument, you demeaned the dignity and the spirit of “bon homme” for which this forum is known.

I’m reminded of the stories of the Philistines…from the Bible. They weren’t necessarily an evil people, but they were filthy, slovenly, faithless, and uncouth (according to the Bible). They ate to excess, drank to excess, became lazy and unproductive. History tells us that, ultimately, they disappeared from the historical record. The lesson here is that for a culture or civilization to thrive, it must evolve. A civilization that DEvolves—or moves backward—dies out. In other words a civilization must value and embrace civility in order to survive.

Today, it seems that common courtesy and social graces are no longer taught in the home the way they were when I was growing up. And it shows.


PS to all: My list of pet peeves will be posted as soon as I cull it down enough so that it no longer exceeds the maximum allowable character count for replies within a thread.

[Das71198]

People who leave their car at the gas pump & go inside for 20 to 30 minutes blocking all the pumps.

Not sure the TBH servers can handle how long your post would end up being!!
