10) Switching lanes without signaling to do so.
9) Waiting on a parking spot and another driver takes it.
8) Drivers not looking out for cyclists.
7) Adult cyclists using the sidewalk.
6) Cutting ahead in a line.
5) Tailgaters.
4) Not replacing the paper roll in the bathroom.
3) Not filling the gas tank after "borrowing" Dad's pickup.
2) Not putting tools back where they are supposed to go


And the #1 pet peeve: Drum roll, please...
1) Getting my tools and using them without my permission!

Foriegn cars with "Proud to be Union" bumper stickers on them.

Union members buying product knot manufactured in the US because it is cheaper.

Authority figures KNOT being good examples:

Cops running lights, talking on cell phones while driving, speeding for no reason, driving single in a car pool lane.

Elected officials not paying their taxes or driving drunk.

High profile sports figures driving drunk or high, or taking enhancement drugs to get better stats and records.

Senators getting away with murder...

People who allow the actions of others to get under their skin.

If you can't or won't, for whatever reason, do something to correct the situation THEN FORGET IT. Complaining about it on the forum fixes nothing.

Here in California, these are all legal for almost all state vehicles. There are thousands of vehicles in this state with the "Exempt" license plate. Even transit buses with only the driver are allowed full access to the carpool lanes.

Speaking for myself, there was no complaining involved; just help answering a fellow members' question. Sorry to get under your skin :D .

I was asked, "What get your goat?"

Then when I answered - "I get this".
