What is some of your Pet Peeve's

[kozal01]

If there's one person on your butt, they may be the problem. But if there's 5 people on your butt, then you're the problem!

The only thing worse than being stuck behind a slow driver, is not being the first in the line, with drivers ahead who are afraid or unwilling to pass. I will occasionally pass the slow driver and the car stuck behind him, if I'm the third in line, but I'm usually driving something of higher than average horsepower.

Yes, the line of people behind the one slow dude is obnoxious! Im not afraid to pass them all though if I have the space. Its the curvy sections where I cant pass that drives me nuts. I really dont care if someone wants to drive slow but if there is a mile of cars lined up behind, just move over and let us go about our day. Last year I did witness a state cop get sick of some dude driving 40 in a 55 and he pulled him over so the literal dozens of cars behind him could pass. That was satisfying.

I have no tolerance for a mean dog. One reason I take mine out on public is to socialise him or her. That's also one reason I prefer labs...

And I've seen more than one mean Lab. But, I've found that although breed type plays a small role, the responsibility of a dog with good behavior is entirely on the owner. I've seen mean mini poodles as well as Rotts and Pits that were nothing but scratch my tummy babies. Part of the problem is people buying dogs they (the people) are not suited for. Lack the knowledge, energy or time to spend to properly train and socialize their dogs. I won't get into a what breed is best debate because we all know the GSD is the best dog known to mankind ........

Yeah, I understand that some tourists wants to admire the views, they are quite nice around here.

But selfish me has already seen them many, many times and I want to get to my destination asap, and it's usually at least 400 miles away. Consequently, I don't even want to go the speed limit, but exceed it.

It kinda sucks when I know it'll be another 20 miles or more before I have a fighting chance to get by on our curvy roads.

Nothing is better than a GSD! It was two years ago today I had to have mine put down. Best girl ever!

I think we'll have to disagree on this. I'll believe you, if you say you've met a mean lab, but I'll insist this is a very rare occurrence. On the flip side, I've only been bit by three dogs in my life, and all three were rottweilers. Can't be a coincidence, given the many hundreds (thousands?) of dogs I've crossed in 50 years.

And watching the local Philly news, I could put money on "Pitbull" every time they tease a story about a dog attacking a kid, and win probably more than 19 times out of 20.

I agreed with everything I read until I got to the last line... so I fixed it for you!

we all know the GSD is the second best dog known to mankind...

While there are exceptions to every rule, the owner determines how his dog turns out. As I said before I have no room for a mean animal, yet others take pride in the fact their dogs can't be trusted.

These are bred for hunting, and at 12 weeks they are already doing that, if anything moves in the yard, they are on it!
