Your irrational pet peeves

Putting your pin number in an atm machine?

They put a lot of people out of work.

If we're talking about grammar, what about professional journalists/columnists using double negatives in articles? "it's not that I don't have a problem with that"

UGH!

You and me. Everyone else wants to sit in a two mile backup in the open lane then grouch when we blow past them to the merge point.

Apparently this is only a Pittsburgh thing. I was driving around Pittsburgh with someone who lives in NYC and he was saying that only in Pittsburgh will people merge a mile ahead of time, when it is far more efficient to merge at the merge point.

Puh-leeze.

Driving advice from a New Yorker?

Tell me you're kidding me?

NY drivers think it's OK to blow through a red light if it's only been red for less than 5 seconds.

NY is the only place I've ever lived where, when traffic backs up, the lane that moves the fastest is the right-most lane.

Do I think Ben will have a better game last week? Yes I do!

Is it going to rain tonight? I think so!

He opened my eyes to how fast one could get through Pittsburgh traffic if you used NYC driving habits. I was taking notes.

Have you made your opinions known to the powers that be?

Seems to me a big Gorilla like you might have more influence on these matters than your average fan in section 123.

When football players overly sell making a catch when it's obvious the ball hit the ground.

I agree. It especially bothers me when a coach challenges the call because of this: Way to screw your team over twice WR/TE/SB/RB.

Taking a bite of salad that has no dressing on it, esp. broccoli. Hate that.

While coming into work today (yes, on a Sunday), I almost hit a moron driving the wrong way in my parking garage. It was probably someone leaving early from the Stillers game. Look, when there are arrows on the pavement all pointing only one way, and every parking spot in the garage is clearly angled in a certain direction, and you are driving in the opposite direction of both the arrows and the angled spaces, you are driving the wrong way. Open your eyes and get a clue.
