Whats your pet peeves?

[Arathel-bwcc]

People telling me how to play the next shot on the course.

People who complain every chance they get.

[Surefire]

If I start thinking about it, I think I will find way too many things. It will then bother me that so many things bother me!

I think the main two are;

1) Rude Commuters - I get the same train every day, I get to the station before most other people, I know where the doors will end up so I stand there leaving room for the people on board to get off first. When the train pulls in people jostle and block the people getting off. Thats clearly not going to work, you need to let the people out of the confined space, so you can fit in it! Funnily enough the worst culprits tend to be females and older people.

2) Compensation culture - Why can't people take responsibility for their own actions? If I eat 10 Big Macs every day, no doubt I will get fat. I see that as my fault, yet some people seem to think that McDonalds would be to blame and should offer compensation.

Hah, yeah - SAME EXACT THING HAPPENS ON THE NYC SUBWAYS.

As for mcdonalds, I think they are being sued for misleading people about their 'nutritional value.'

You know what really grinds my gears? This Lindsay Lohan. Lindsay Lohan with all those little outfits, jumping around there on stage, half-naked with your little outfits. Y'know? You're a...you're out there jumping around and I'm just sitting here with my beer. So what am I supposed to do? What you want? Y'know, are we gonna go out? Is that what you're trying to - why why are you leaping around there, throwing those things all up in my, over there in my face? What do you want, Lindsay? Tell me what you want? Well, I'll tell you what you want, you want nothing. You want nothing!!! All right? Because we all know that no woman anywhere wants to have sex with anyone, and to titillate us with any thoughts otherwise is - is just bogus. -Peter Griffin

Maybe, but does anyone seriously think McDonalds might be healthy! Even the salad is covered in greasy dressing just to remove any possibility. Its a kind of common sense thing, which is actually not very common.

Not just singling out that problem though, how about the person that put a hot cup of coffee between their legs to drive, and burnt their crotch! I can't remember if it was McD's again or somewhere like Starbucks that they sued. It wasn't their fault though because there wasn't a warning on the cup saying the coffee was hot, or that you shouldn't drive using the coffee as a ballwarmer of whatever they were doing! It makes me a bit sad.

I'm pretty sure that was McD's. Absolutely ridiculouse.

I used to work at a bowling alley restraunt/bar. I loved (loathed) when the women would come up and order a chicken salad with extra extra ranch.....and....Oh...I'd better behave and go with a diet coke...... COME ON!!!

The Price of a round of Golf ! Also, Golf Courses that don't supply enough drinking water throughout the course.

[PEZGolf]

1) I will start with drivers that follow too close to you.

Here they are:

1. Golfers in my group who talk too much. 2. Slow players in front of us, who think that it is a sin to let others play through. 3. Argumentative players who think they have memorized the Rule Book and want to use that "knowledge" at least 3 times in 18 holes.

[ks8829]

slow drivers in the fast lane
smokers in a restaurant
people who complain

[Stacey_E]

1. Cell phones on the course

2 . Guys who tell me to take another shot after their cell phone ruined my first. I don't take another shot, I play it down. One day I'm gonna pull a Steve Williams on somebody's cell phone.

3. Guys carrying super GI irons that make fun of my player's irons. Not guys who carry them, just people who are self rightous about them. They think they are some expert equipment guru and I was magically teleported from the 1950s and have never seen Ping Eye2s. I usually beat the hell out of these guys on the scorecard.

4. Screamers on the course. You know, the deaf and drunk guys that are constantly yelling every sentence and thought that flows through their inebbriated brains.

5. Playing partners with vanity handicaps

[The Golfing Polack]

Way...way too many to list but I'll give it a shot. In no particular order:

Slower drivers
Bad drivers
Slow golf play
My neighbors who constantly scream at their children
Contemporary music (most of it)
Spoiled douche-bag teens
Reality TV
People who call in insurance claims for damage that $20 over their deductible
Women drivers
Old drivers that take 45 minutes to make a right hand turn off a busy road
Sentimental people
Spin-off shows
Dish-network not having my local channels in HD

Soooooo many more. I'm a very angry and intolerant individual.

[Lefty39]

1. Those kids that act all hood, and gangster, but they live in the suburbs.
2. Being late.
3. Old golfers who don't respect the juniors.
4. People who cheat doing any sport or game.
5. Golfers who take like 20 practice swings then hit a terrible shot.
6. People who complain and act like life is so hard, when they have it easy.

[Jay-Bird]

In the car :
People who drive slow in the left lane.
At a red light, when I need to turn right and the car in front of me in the right lane and is going straight - all the while the left lane is open. If you're going straight, get in the left lane.
People who can't give a courtesy wave when I let them in traffic.

On the course :
Golfers who don't know the rules.
Golfers that hit more than one ball, especially when they are the one causing the backup.
Mulligans.
Idiots that don't repair ball marks on greens.
When I see a dead snake on a course.
When I see a blemish in a green caused by someone slamming their putter down.
People who wheel their pullcarts over greens. I witnessed this two days ago.
Pullcarts.
Carts.

other :
Mainstream hip-hop.
Applebees.

Wow! I'm bitter...

[Jonah523]

People who talk about issues that they know a short articles worth of information about, or who use a word that suggests they are savvy to a particular philosophy or profession (this seems to happen a fair amount with medicine and psychology).

sound-byte politics.

And, of course, slow drivers in the left lane.

[RMD]

Not necessarily golf related, but:
1) People who constantly tell you how hard they're working.
2) A waitress who tells you it's her first day.

[ks8829]

tail gater are the worse!

do you know how I get rid of tail gaters on the road? I keep my foot on the accelerator and with my left foot I tap on the brake pedal, this make the driver who's following too close notice that I am braking and will switch lanes immediately or soon after.

[Que]

I had one at the gym the other day that just had me steamed!!! I'm on my usual eliptical machine - all the way to the end of the gym & these 2 ladies get on the 2 machines immediately next to me & start gabbing non-stop for 30 minutes while they go about 2 mph on the machines. I'm working my @$$ off here & I gotta listen to their blabbering. Turned my mp3 player almost all the way up & I could still hear them. Oh...did I mention there was a line of empty machines 50 feet long they could have got on??

Whew! I feel better.

Golf pet-peeve:
When the guys in our men's club try to tell me how they want things done but they don't want to do it themselves...or even help.

Sandbaggers

[ks8829]

people who think only about themself. it could be someone who is just putting around the putting green and there are alot of people practicing and when they finish on a hole they leave the ball around the hole and go for another new hole and you have to wait for them to finish before up putt to that hole, if they were considered of others, they would move their balls far away so that someone else can use the hole they were just playing.

I'm 66 years old. Just about everyone and everything pisses me off. These are not the golden years, these are the rusty years. youngins think that you have always been old and they'll never be there.
