My stupid pet peeves.
- Thread starter Jackalope
- Start date
The handicap parking abuse is getting ridiculous! I work with people that have gotten Doctors to give them a HC card to hang on their mirror but literally run out of the plant everyday to get in front of the rest of the croud leaving. SMH!!! This country is in need of an attitude adjustment! On top of the head.....(an ole HWJ song referral...:smiley_coolpeace
There is a need for portable car-truck crushers that go through the parking lots. Crush the car, set it down, and issued a ticket. Problem solved.
Only pet peve I have, everything else stupid just pisses me off.
People who say they'll do something, then don't do it. Then do that over and over again...

Yeah I really don't get it, do kids need a ceremony for every time they do something average, we are the nation of celebrating mediocrity
Funny... My wife and I were just discussing this tonight at dinner. We never had pre-K graduations. Hell, I never even went to preschool. We never had shit for graduations until senior year of high school. Why must we celebrate a kid moving on to junior high? What's wrong with simply saying, "Oh good, you're not a flunky." It's ridiculous. Celebrating a kid just doing what kids are supposed to do.
It was expected. Those were the days when they actually flunked kids too. There was no reward for doing the expected, but there were consequences for not performing up to the standards. Now we can't do this or it may hurt a kids self image. God forbid we make them feel bad for flunking. Let's move them on. Thanks GW for "No child left behind." Now they get moved on but they are simply behind academically. Jon stated it well with "We are a nation of celebrating mediocrity." Or as stated before: We are witnessing the pussification of America. This is one of my pet peeves.

Another pet peeve that literally makes me want to punch out the windows of all vehicles is the automatic door locking system. At least once a day I will walk to the other side my truck and the all doors will be locked expect driver door. It possibly could be a stupid problem but none the less I am daily obstacle I must over come.
