Your irrational pet peeves

[Sam's Drunk Dog]

Ratuken sounds like a move Ryu makes in the Street Fighter games.

I first noticed this trend on Spike during 1,000 Ways to Die, but it's spreading to other channels now too (namely Discovery)... They will show a boatload of commercials followed by a 20-30 second clip of the show, then a boatload more of commercials. Obnoxious... this is why I wait to watch most shows until after I've recorded them.

Hey hose clamp manufacturers. Would it kill you to make that a phillips head instead of slotted?

oh hey whats up sockets?

Not always available. Had to do up a couple clamps at work the other day. They were in an awkward position that made them hard to tighten with a flat screwdriver. Found a socket set. The clamps had different size heads. No ratchet. After 10 minutes of fiddling around I found the two sockets I needed, used a straight screwdriver in the end where the ratchet goes and was able to get them tightened. All of that could've been avoided with a phillips.

1/4 inch or 5/16 nut driver says hi as well.

They do that on XM NHL Radio all the time and it drives me nuts.

One of my biggest ones:

When people make left turns at a 45 degree angle (or less) and then glare at you because you're in their way. If you could make a left turn the way it's supposed to be done, nobody would have any issues!

So you don't have to cross the double yellow line to make a turn?

I believe you're looking for the rational pet peeves thread. ;)

Drivers who refuse to put on their car lights whenever they're driving in dusk or dawn hours.

"How goes it?"

and

"What can I do ya for?"

[Rylan]

Conversational phrases never bothered me. I can't think of a time when how a person spoke annoyed me, excepting of course the actual voice of the speaker.

Actually, improper grammar of seen vs saw bothers me.

"I seen it," bugs the living **** out of me.

[Froggy]

It bothers me when people commemorate random anniversaries. Like "47 years ago today, this happened". Stick to every 10 years, and maybe multiples of 25.

7 years and 4 days ago, I joined this version of LGP.

As long as its obvious I suppose it wouldn't bother me. But, I cannot recall a time when I can accurately say that this happened. It was common phrasing where I grew up and I hated it immensely.

"i seen it" spoken ironically is part of my standard lexicon

This is seems like a corrolary to my irrational hate of Doc Emrick (the real one) saying things like "Three and three quarters minutes remaining in regulation."

[Froggy]

Yeah! Either get in earlier at 4 mins or wait til it gets back around to 3

"How goes it?"

and

"What can I do ya for?"

all the sudden everyone around me has started using a version of:

we like going to penn gables for pizza. so we do.

Taking three rotations around the roll to finally free up a loose end to unwind the new roll of tp.

"I know, right?" as a response to a statement one agrees with is starting to climb up my peeve list.

People who sit at an intersection waiting to turn right when there is an acceleration lane installed for the sole purpose of turning right and speeding up to merge into traffic. What makes it worse is when they wait for no traffic to be coming and then use the acceleration lane anyway. Glad I don't carry a gun.
