The pet peeves thread

I have a friend who will cut me off mid sentence to go on 5-10 minute tangents. It’s his conversation style. Hate it.

There are two deep scratches on the passenger side door of my car. They go completely through the paint. I suspect it happened in the parking lot of my last place of employment but obviously no one owned up to it. I’ll get them fixed at some point, but seeing as how much of a pain it is to get bodywork done it might be a while.

That sucks. We had good results with Rocky Mountain Collision Repair FWIW.

Ozone generator for the win. They’re cheap and very effective.

Here they go again. Italics added for emphasis.

“Roughly 6 in 10 North Carolina GOP primary voters baselessly deny that President Joe Biden’s 2020 election win was legitimate, as do close to half of Virginia voters.”

When you’re at a red light and the person in front of you is clearly on their phone and they didn’t see the light change. Or alternatively, they’re driving and you can tell they’re texting as they’re swerving out of their lane.

I once saw a guy sit through an entire green light (left hand turn arrow) despite the people behind him honking. I was right next to him going forward. He was looking at his phone and laughing at whatever the hell he was seeing.

I had a BYU fan on Facebook tell me today that Utah hasn’t beaten BYU in five years (eye roll). When I pointed out that he had quite the selective memory he told me to “eat sh**. I proceeded to briefly peruse his profile to find pictures of LDS temples. Pet peeve.

Why not?

My reply would have been that byu has only beaten Utah once in the last 15 years.

Don’t get me wrong, I love me a temple as much as the next guy.

It wasn’t a criticism of temples really, more so what I see from active Mormons on the BYU side from time to time. Guy told me to eat it publicly.

There’s a politics category that this stuff belongs in.

Understood. It is a pet peeve of mine, so I posted it here.

Back in the 80’s, I had a zoob tell me that byu would never win a natty in basketball because they refused to cheat. (eye roll). My pet peeve here would be people who are sanctimonious.
