Default what are your pet peeves?

The things annoying me right now (aside from the opinions on this war which we WON'T discuss here)

When you do a search on ebay for "s2000" it comes up with 14 pages of things where 98% relate to another car.

You click on the one that says carbon fiber dash kit and you get a picture of some civic with a dash kit in it.

An auction for a box with two wires sticking out of it and saying it will give you a 15hp increase by fooling your ecu into doing something.

The civic/s2000/prelude/integra shift knob with the diagram of a 5 speed on it.

or buy info on making lambo doors on your s2000.

I hate when you're walking and all of the sudden there's a hump on the ground that your foot catches - you stumble somewhat. And then you're like, "Whoa, didn't expect that."

Stupid drivers. I'm talking like the seriously BRAIN DEAD drivers. The ones that will dive across 3 lanes of traffic at twice the speed limit because they are adjusting their makeup/ties in the mirror and reading the morning paper. >__<

People who intentionally block toilets in public washrooms then overflow the toilet (intentionally block with paper towel, btw)

Waking up and not feeling at all rested and your eyes hurt, your mouth tastes like old carpet and you slept on your arm so there's no blood there and it's all numb and lifeless, before the pins and needles and pain of blood returning to it stings you. In other words, the typical morning.

Bad drivers, like LV said.

Those who need to make a left turn or a U-turn, but swerve *right* before the turn, sometimes crossing the line into flowing traffic, all while keeping their eyes looking through the left window.

Drivers who cross over the double yellow line in the mountain roads, always giving me heartattacks.

my biggest pet peeve has got to be with people who eat with their mouths open, making this horrendous noise and showing food being mixed in one's mouth.

Since you started the thread alluding to purchasing items online, say through ebay...my biggest pert peeve in that regard are those assenine "zenon" or "HID" look bulbs/cheap knock offs that come up on a search no matter what vehicle/parts you are looking for.

Other than that:

1) The herding syndrome whereupon some schmoe chooses to park next to you no matter HOW far away you park from the building you are visiting

2) Drivers who sit at the speed limit, or below in the "passing" lane

3) Drivers who choose to swerve all over their lane causing rocks and other debris to be propelled as they veer towards the curb

4) Drivers whose windshield washer jets are aimed incorrectly and blast water onto your nice spot free car, or worse yet into your car if you are driving with the top down.

5) People who have to "touch" yor paint work to admire how nice your car is. "ooh what a nice colour" while stroking their oily greasy fingers over your dust ridden vehicle.

Hmm..there's a theme appearing. I must be the most anal driver/vehicle owner out there!!
