What is some of your Pet Peeve's

Watch out where the Huskies go and don't you eat that yellow snow...

To each their own, I guess. Smart guy but he was strange... corresponding with his alleged IQ?
Some of his songs got frequent airplay... I've always wondered what happened to the trapper after he wandered off blindly to find Saint Alfonzo.
One day I decided to listen to the Joe's Garage album on my ride home. Wow! Did I mention what a strange guy he is?

But there are things I listen to which others don't like.

I like almost all of Zappa's songs and other material. I find single humor on many of his songs, after hearing them a few times. I grew up listening to FZ. Think that explains much about me? Don't answer that...

My favorite song of his was Cosmik Debris ..

is that a real poncho or is that a Sears poncho?……

Pet peeve of mine.
My MK Martin Meteor 3ph snowblower’s chute hand crank.
You turn the crank handle right ( clockwise) , and the blower chute turns left
After using this for eons, I still turn it the wrong way and get a face full, in windy conditions. I looked up newer models and they still make the crank screw backwards.
Yeah, I know, I could power it, but still..

Another pet peeve is when stores, like Tractor Supply, Big R (RIP) or Runnings rearrange the locations of some sections. So you walk to the far end of the store where welding supplies have always been, only to find they moved that to the opposite end of the store next to children's clothing.

Tractor Supply has become a clothing store that sells some farm/ranch items.

How about when people post a topic and don't have subject verb agreement?

Some pet peeves ARE. One pet peeve IS.

Same could be said for the few remaining Agways around here. More aisle space devoted to dog toys/beds/paraphanelia than to actual agricultural items. Sort of a less glitzy version of Petco.

Actually, the TSC here isn't too bad in that regard. They are expanding the store, will be interesting to see what the merchandise mix will be after it's complete.

How 'bout the fast talk disclaimers at the (usually) end of a radio commercial, and the "potential side effects" on medication ads - that seemingly take up half the commercial?

You can thank the lawyers for that.

I'll thank the litigants. No lawyer has ever talked me into suing anyone.

Lowe's is selling clothes now. And a big display in the main aisle of some manly-man soap.

Did you know that you can now buy nothing? Just heard about it this morning...

Nothing | US

Here at Nothing, we’re building a world where tech is fun again. Remember a time where every new product made you excited? We’re bringing that back.

I've talked to a lot of people that said they don't know nothing about the crime I was investigating. Sounds kind of like a confession.

Maybe not you, but the US system makes it no risk for suits. Companies save money by settling out of court and pass the costs of the suits and the mitigation on to the rest of us, all on the advice of lawyers. The laws themselves are written primarily by lawyers.

DIL = Attorney........ man that is begging for creative license.

Congrats on a new family member.

lol... my Woods 3pt blower was the same. Used to drive me nuts.

I'd actually get used to it after awhile, until I used my walk-behind blower which has proper orientation on the hand crank, and then my coordination would be wrecked again.

That's the opposite of a peeve, for me. I'm glad they finally have to name all of the side effects.

Besides, hearing that erectile dysfunction medication may cause "an*l leakage" makes me laugh, every time. After all, if one suffers from an*l leakage, I doubt they're going to get much use out of ED medication!

That was my tell for how bad the vid vax was. The commercials for it never mentioned any potential side affects - even at 78 rpm speed!

That was mentioned and discussed on page one, or shortly thereafter.

300+ pages...I read the title and reply. If we were trying to solve someone's tractor issue, I probably would have read through them first.

Thanks to you, I have to go back and read.
