What is some of your Pet Peeve's

Canceling or changing services if a loved one passes away. For cripes sake is that a stressful seemingly impossible task. For me anyway in a perfect world probably would have better organization of a close ones passwords/ accounts etc. I will say moving forward we now put loved ones stuff on our accounts and ask for a yearly check to cover expenses of services on our account.

Have not read all the pet peeves but a big one for me is people that do not call back. Here we are in a time when most everyone has a smart phone on them 24/7. With them there is voice mail and texting not to forget access to the net for other types of communication such as email. But do they respond once they are contacted about something? No. I am not sure that the young folks even do actual voice calls anymore. Talking is so last century Dude.

Heck many companies no longer even publish a phone number or contact method. And if they do it often is a bot that you deal with rather than a person. Somehow automated systems and bots are incapable of handling my question when made. Which gets the, "A representative will contact you in the next 48hours (weeks, months, years) to answer your problem. "

Communication went from hand delivered written messages, to Telegraph, wire phones, email, cell phones and now is smart phones and somehow getting ahold of people is no easier.

having to try and change an account over to a grieving spouses name. Wanted my dad to hold up the death certificate, driver license ,take a picture of him holding it somehow convert it to his email he doesn't have, and send it to them all in a backwoods rural area. After much arguing with an actual person cancelled cell account and put him on our plan with a different phone number. Net fux was similar but not as bad. Imo easier to stick to mailed bills, paper checks and stamps. Or if your fortunate and willing put close elderly folks on your accounts. Rants over.

You know what's funny, Fuddy. When you first posted that avatar, I thought you were just getting handy with Photoshop. Had no idea that was actually a living creature, and if so, that it was a house cat!!

Wife & I got him from local shelter as a kitten. I'd hold him and he made faces so I had her take pictures.

I somehow missed this thread for months. I just found it. I read almost every post. One of my pet peeves is overly long posts. However, another pet peeve is several short posts in a row by the same author. Torn between two pet peeves, I decided to make one long post.

Actually, 2 long posts. Might have been quicker to list the things that don't peeve you.

The older we get the more things that bug us. Or we just don't care who we piss off.

Trucks with Cummins, Duramax or Powerstrokes and no mufflers that are driven balls-to-the-wall up my road.
No assholes, it doesn't sound cool, it's annoying and rude.

Add motorcycle or ATV riders that do the same.

And 2000 watt car stereos full volume passing by: "boom-boom-boom". Isn't it great waiting at a traffic light to change and some idiot pulls up beside you with that blasting.
