There wasn't another car within 50 yards, I always parked way away from people on purpose. When I asked this asshole why he parked next to me he said he should punch me in the nose.
I almost felt like telling him to go ahead, so I could punch him back, I just got in my car and moved it. I was also so tempted to wait till he went inside the store and flatten all his tires.
I saw some real crazy crap from people who should have given up driving long ago. It does seem parking on top of people is not limited to seniors. As a young man it pissed me off because I had classic cars or trucks I kept nice
and I did not want door dings, now as a semi disabled old geezer I need space to get in and out.
I have at least a half dozen more peeves or so, but that is the big one. |
People who think other people care what their pet peeves are.

CELL PHONE ADDICTION.
Mass neurosis where people are so dependent upon that "pacifier" action of that damn useless electronic.

People that demand a tip for doing a job they're paid to do. The country is going tip crazy.

I can't remember how long ago it was but a lady busy texting on her phone walked right into a fountain at a mall and then had the audacity to sue, thank God she did not get a dime.

TIP originally stood for "To Improve Promptness."

I have had numerous people walk right into me as if I was interfering with their addictive phone calling.

I have decent skills in all home construction trades except for pouring and finishing concrete slabs. I have done concrete repair as in breaking or sawing out foundation sections to lay or replace damaged tile. That being said I hate plumbing with a passion, rarely are you working in a comfortable position. I am a little over half done re-plumbing the whole house. FTS to plumbing, often a job will seem good only to start leaking soon down the road, especially plastic drain pipes. You just tighten everything up a little more and recheck the next day.
As for home construction trades electrical work has always been my favorite,
even though it is usually slow going.
May I ask what were the dumb mistakes?

I always tipped if I hit big at the track with the exception of one guy... One day he asked asked if I planned to tip him if i won. I said sure as long as he gave me 15 percent back on my losing tickets.
