Oh, I'll bet you drilled a little hole so that you can peek in there at them.

People who call or come in asking why they charged a service charge and then saying "I was never told that"! HELLO!!!!!!!!!!! Can't people read!!! Its all in the paper work when they first open an account.
Also, other co-workers who come in when they feel like it in the morning, after lunch and on thier breaks! nothing is said to them but i'm always the first one to be told anything! ERERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Pet Peeve: When a BOLer claims they have put someone on ignore and then have to mouth off and push the buttons of the user they are supposedly ignoring.

My pet peeve this week: BOL WC threads turning so petty. I know that I am a relative new comer on the block (been reading unregistered for a long time) but I have really seen a serious decline in the last few months. There are all of these ridiculous posts about fat & ugly people. People attacking each other in posts instead of taking it to a PM to hash out their differences. You don't have to agree with everyone, but why is it necessary to get so mean? I just don't understand it.

1) ESPN with their clock on the screen counting down til the start of whatever game they are showing later....
2) Coworkers making no attempt to make coffee when they drain the pot-they could at least put the empty pot in the sink....
3) Resending the same memo, email, product description,etc to the same people over and over....
4) Local, state or the Fed Gov't deciding what i can eat, drink, watch, listen to, etc....I am a big boy and can decide what is best for me and my family....

Sox, I can agree with all of the pet peeves you have listed. I don't watch ESPN but if I did that would make me nuts.

In Indiana after a person reached age 75 they used to have to take the driving test every 2 years. My father will be 85 next month and he had to do it at 75. Unfortunately, that got changed about 8 years ago. Indiana does, however, require an eye exam for every driver's license renewal - unless that's changed in the year and a half since I've been gone.
I do agree that the procedures should be stepped up after a certain age.

The procedures really should be revamped for older drivers. It's not just about eye sight, agility and reaction times change as you get older. Look at the 89 year old man who was just convicted after driving through a farmer's market. He killed 10 people and injured another 60. Scary!

While I am thinking about things that get on my nerves, what is with all of the posts with the name calling? You can't even understand what people are trying to say in between all of the silly bickering. Just because you disagree with an opinion doesn't mean that you have to attack the person for saying it.

Here are more of my pet peeves:
1) Inconsiderate people - Why can't you burn the 1/10th of a calorie it takes to use your turn signal when you can clearly see that I am waiting to turn?
2) Inconsiderate people - The space directly in front of an ATM, store entrance, etc. is NOT a parking space, no matter how quickly you think you can complete your transaction.
3) Inconsiderate people - Do you have to block a parking space with a shopping cart because the place to return the shopping carts is more than 5 feet away from your lazy a--?
4) Inconsiderate people - Instead of making the cashier and 4 people in line behind you wait for you to finish your phone call, can't you have the person on the other end wait 10 seconds or maybe even call them back?
5) Inconsiderate people - Your car is not so special that you deserve two parking spaces for it, even if you did pay too much for your car.
6) Inconsiderate people - The fast lane is named as such for a reason and it is not because it is refraining from eating!
7) Inconsiderate people - Riding my bumber will not make the traffic up ahead thin out.
8) Inconsiderate people - In order to pass the vehicle next to you, you have to travel at a velocity greater than the velocity of the vehicle you intend to pass.
9) Inconsiderate people - Just because the width of a traffic lane is greater than the width of my car, this does not mean that you are welcome to weave into that space, regardless of how engaging your current telephone call is.
10) Inconsiderate people - If you are the last person to pull up to a stop sign, you are generally not the first person entitled to proceed through said stop.
11) Inconsiderate people - Pedestrians have the right of way, particularly when their hands are full and/or it is raining.
