Pet peeves

Somebody used my baby vice grips and did not put them back where they got them from.

One of the most useful tools in creation and they are gone to me.

The smoke detector low battery sound. STORY TIME:

A few weeks ago I could hear one outside the office. So I walked around for like 10 minutes trying to find it. Never could. Nothing for weeks. Started up again on Tuesday while I was on a call, I could hear it through my door and headphones. Get off the call and go hunting. Can't freaking find it. Finally notice it is from my sons room so I go in and stand there. Turns out the sound is coming from one of his shithead friends on a video chat. For weeks this kids parents have been dealing with a dying battery chirp and don't care enough to change it. I hate them already. My son just started another call with him and I can hear it now.

tl;dr my son is friends with parents who are special needs.
 
Another one that Dog the Bounty Hunter always said was Valentime's Day. :L

He had a million of them.

Another pet peeve, which I'm experiencing now: someone asks you to buy something for you, say when you "go into town." You buy it, deliver it to them, they thank you and never say a word about paying you back, thus forcing you into the awkward position of reminding them that they owe you money.

I make a point of putting things back so I know where to look next time.

I'll probably find the vice grips on a stump in the back yard one day next summer.

I usually check my son's room first, If its not there, its a waiting game.

I had to laugh at the" they are gone to me" line.

That moment when I walk up to a house to do an inspection, and before I can knock on the door I hear a chirping smoke detector.....

To me if they can't be bothered to change the smoke detector battery, I know the A/C is shot because they aren't changing the filters either.

How come that bothers you? But hey, next time you go into town would you drop off my overdue book (Duncecrafting for Dummies) at the libary and pay the fine?
 
I've got two females in my office who I've dubbed "the like girls". Any time you walk past their workstation, they WILL be talking to each other and you will hear a minimum four unnecessary "like"s ejaculated from their vocal holes in the 1.5 seconds they're within audible comprehension.

Earlier this week, I happened to walk past their workstation and - true to form - I heard a barrage of unnecessary "like"s. I experienced a sudden urge to go gut-punch the chick with the sole purpose of temporarily eliminating her vocal function. I told my wife I'm dubbing that "having a Bill Burr moment".

Hey.... Like that is funny! :becky:
 
People who don’t break down and bag their cardboard and instead just put it out in a pile by their garbage where it then obviously distributes itself all over the neighborhood for everyone else to throw away.

A related pet peeve for me. Why is it that those batteries always give out in the middle of the night? I had one go out this week at 4:30 AM. I have high ceilings, so I had to go out to the garage and get a ladder just to change the damn thing.
