What are your pet peeves?

Seriously?

Just the other day, I was at the STP restroom and some guy didn't bother to knock or see that the red sign meant OCCUPIED. He tried to open it and it wouldn't, so he tried another 2 times (I assumed he'd figure out it was occupied) and the lock finally gave in and opened. I was finished, but still...

That's the same thing as knocking. You try the door ONCE, and not violently. If it's locked you wait. End of story

The bathroom is a sanctuary. You must relax to drop your load properly.

My bad. I misunderstood...

Although, I find it annoying when customers tell me they've been waiting for the bathroom for 10-15 minutes. I ask if they knocked and they say no... so I give them the key and :facepalm
 
Yes.

Turn signals: I compulsively cancel them. Sometimes I push the cancel button ten times in a row. Then I'll think "dammit - I'm doing it again." Ten minutes later I'll find myself hitting the button a few more times, uh, just in case the first ten times didn't work. It's gotten to the point where I've worn out the left thumb of 2 sets of gloves. If I ever accidentally left a turn signal on I would probably rip the left bar right off the bike in my haste to correct it.

Battery tenderizing: I must tenderize my batteries all night, every night. If I don't, the electricity will fall out and hurt the beetles and potato bugs who live on my garage floor. Or it could give them super-powers: they could become super-energized and enormous, perhaps even intelligent enough to operate a motorcycle.
 
OCD: everything has to be an even number in my head. Volumes/channel/tattoos I have everything has to be either even or can be divided into an even.

everything on my desk has to be straight
 
I have enough faults that having a pet peeve would be hypocritical. :laughing
 
I have so many peeves that they can no longer be called pets - I'm a rancher.

-Hate getting shocked after getting out of certain cars so I always have to close the door by pushing on the window.

Hold the key and let the tip touch the car when you first get out. It will arc without you feeling the shock. then you can close the door normally.
 
People who talk AT you instead of with you.

Professors who decide to throw 10x as much material as they would normally teach as online assignments because they figure you're only in class a few hours a day so that's another 16 being wasted. :mad seriously my eyes just glaze over and I get nothing out of powerpoint slideshows posted online for the course. Especially when there's 0 teaching to accompany it. Talk about a lazy way to get paid to "educate" students.
 
Oh, and teachers that give out homework on chapters they haven't taught yet - homework that's due and graded online prior to the next class - and THEN they go over the material in class. Little bit backwards if you ask me. :mad :mad :mad

:laughing It is annoying but it's also slightly amusing

I recently worked with (he got fired, go figure) a guy who talked at the employees. I think he had aspergers or something, but he'd randomly talk to me about a bunch of various subjects all day. I wouldn't say more than two words every 5 minutes and he'd ramble on... :thumbdown

I'm 50/50 about the washing hands during restroom use. Depends on the restroom and the game play at the time.

I don't know who or what has touched the sinks, door handles, and soap dispenser, but I sure as hell know where my schlong has been all day.

This^^^^^^^

OCD? I line things up geometrically. Just sitting someplace I'll look for a straight line through as many things as possible. Or maybe just the right angle to line up the edges of three things in the room. Sometimes, Lisa wil, ask me what I'm doing? "lining things up". She just rolls her eyes.
 
Peeves: Fat people upstairs who insist on stomping across my ceiling at all hours of the night/morning.

OCD: conjugating irregular Spanish verbs in my head while trying to fall asleep
