breaking down, knowing there is at least three dealerships inside your 50km free tow range and none of them has the simple everyday part you need, a clutch lever, OEM or after market.

Parents walking with their child through shopping center while said child has snot running down nose into mouth.

combine that with extremely misbehaved little angels. ( russian for terrorists) and thats my main gripe.

People, earth-muffins and people wanting money that misuse facts and statistics.

5 Hour Energy: Commercial states they asked 3000 doctors if they recommend it. Then they say doctors would recommend a low calorie energy booster and therefore they strongly imply and make you believe the doctors recommended their product.

New PS ad: Cig smoke as 7000 chemicals. Really? What are they? They make you think that is 7000 BAD TOXIC things. Well, it probably has C02, oxygen, nitrogen and  lots of stuff which is normal. What are those 7000 chemicals? (Note: I am not in favor of smoking, just the misuse of statistics or facts to prove a point.) They mention a couple bad things and make you assume all 700 are bad. This is a technique often used by people trying to prove a point. Always ask: What are the 7000? Can you give me a list? How many are bad? OK, yes there are bad things there. Understand the bad logic of inferring that all 7000 are bad. Now watch as others try that same illogical implication.

i see this in politics all the time. i have fun with political jousting matches, by being polite and pleasant. but asking just that question. and nobody can answer it

Well, not so much as annoying but odd.
Pixie, my female gray Pixie Bob loves treats. Especially freeze dried salmon.
Usually I have her shake hand (then "other paw"), or sit up or roll over. if I just giver her treats with no tricks, she waits until I have her do a trick.

Now is that weird?

OK - I'll video that. It is cool having cats do tricks.

Went to Vegas and drank 1 of these due to differences in Eastern Time vs. Pacific Time.  Didn't sleep for 3 days.  Almost missed my flight home cause when you crash, you crash HARD.  It says on bottle you don't crash, that's total 

In the UK you may gripe about people having to take time to put their car in gear, let off the e-brake, and go... but here they'll just absentmindedly let off the brake and ram into the back of you if you don't pay attention.

People who leave their cars in the middle of backed up intersections, preventing other directions from going

People who leave public bathrooms disgusting
College cafeterias pulling their food 30 minutes before they're even supposed to close.
Getting so much homework (25-30+hrs/wk) I figure out what percentage of the grade it is for each class to decide what to not do.
Dorm rooms with no AC plus no screens in the windows
Moving in to find everything in your dorm room is covered in tobacco spit and the radiator isn't even connected to the wall, and one of the lamp units has exposed wiring which a work order was placed for before school even started and hasn't been touched yet. Oh, and gum everywhere.
Professors who clearly don't have a firm grasp on the English language. But watching them try to say 'parallelogram' is a riot... and then came 'parallelepiped'.
Not having my gs500.
</wvutech>

When an electronic that's functioned flawlessly through more time and abuse than anyone could expect of it dies.

Little black fruit flies swarming my screen when it gets dark 

Most importantly, people who promise videos of cats doing tricks for treats who don't deliver.

yeah!! .. cat tricks!! 

last time i saw a trick by a kitty cat it involved a ping pong ball and a glass 10 feet away ...

errr ... cat golf!

Oh I hate that one. How hard is it to flush and put your waste in the bin. Seriously.

I guess easier than hitting the urinal. Heck - we got a spigot that we can aim, for god's sake. Pretty lame to aim that thing at the wall or the floor.

hmm that reminds me .. but its not petty .. its F^%*&g disgusting! ... theres a parking garage i use near where i do my business banking .. usually the lift is real slow... so i usually take the stairs ... and every once in a while some evil and dim witted maggot of a drunk fool has thrown up in the stairwell and/or left a huge turd on one of the landings! .. random stairwell and random landing... its one of my major    points!

maybe not just one person.. could be real popular place ... the real annoying bits is that there are public toilets available 24hours that are cleaned regularly ... 300m away .. i know 300m can be a loooooong way if the pressure is on... but still!

just makes me wonder about how society is going sometimes!

Pretty much all of this. There's a riverwalk next to the Mississippi River in my hometown, and the public restrooms are usually kept rather clean (minus the bathroom messages on the stall walls). I go for a walk last time I was in town, and decide to go bleed the lizard. Upon opening the bathroom door, I smelled something that would make a trash truck driver faint. Shoulda been the first sign something was bad. So I hold my breath and charge in, open a stall, and the walls were SLATHERED IN shaZam!. It was everywhere. I mean, how does that happen? Did someone decide it was crayons?

alpha, I went to the zoo one time, and walking into the restroom this kid is coming out and is covered in it.  I mean on arms and legs and like he rolled in it!  wtf!

At work, once a week the restroom is closed due to "contamination".  Got the scoop from facilities.  People spray and smear human waste on the walls.

We have people from N America, S America, Europe, and Asia in our office since I work for a global consulting company.

Regardless, that's inexcusable and disgusting.

Oh yea Idiots who use the word - Intrical - WTF is Intrical - intricate + Integral ?

Integral = Its a part of it, cant be removed easy. Or its the result of the mathematical function of "integrating" an expression - as in the integral of x is 1/2 x^2 + c.
Intricate = a rather elaborate and tangled pattern.

Another Idiotic word right up there with that atrocity is the word Centrifical - WTF is that centrifugal + artificial ? Or is it centrifugal + intrical ?

Centrifugal = the outward force experienced due to rotation. What makes your tires get larger in diameter @ high speed - easy to see on drag bikes and cars.

Cool.
Buddha.

How about the weird janitor that is only in the bathroom when you need you drop a huge one. Then stares creepy like at you and asks "everything come out alright?". He's the kinda guy you'd see on dateline or something.

I got one right up there with that ... appaently some high schooler I am pretty sure it was a girl cos I think I heard her talking about the experiment ... anyway she took Ice from an ice machine @ a fast food place and water from the toilet (where did she get it from, faucte or flush tank or the bowl itself ? yea its important ... and send it to test and found that the ice had more bacteria - more count of bacteria or more varieties ?

Oh really ... really ...

So you kept it as Ice through that whole ship and test routine @ the lab ? You do know Ice keeps bacteria from multiplying right ? If it turns to warm water the bacteria will multiply - you do know this right ?

And here is the kicker -

You do know that humans are literally covered in bacteria ... you collecting the ice and getting in in your container probably dropped into it a few million of your baceria ... and they once in warm water multiplied ... the bacteria in the toilet obviously were in liquid water and their circumstances didn't change much with the ship and test sequence ...

Cool.
Buddha.

Quote from: Badot on August 27, 2012, 07:16:52 PM... let off the e-brake,..

This^. Its NOT an E-brake, its a Handbrake, or Parking brake.
E-brake stand for "emergency brake" and while yes, you can use it in an emergency if all other brakes had failed, that is not its main use.
Its main use to when Parking, to stop the vehicle rolling away. -- Parking brake.
It is activated by use of a hand -- Handbrake.

Petty thing:
How american's have taken the English language and basically raped it, using "z" instead of "s", misspelling words -Aluminium for example-. You may be American, but you still speak ENGLISH, so speak proper English 

English people who put "Rs" in words where there are none.

WaRsh cloth. Wash cloth
