Goto post a couple of my pet peeve. People talk about their Hot Water Heater. I'd like to know, how do one heat hot water ? An engine is NOT a motor. Motor, A motor gets it's power from an outside source , usually electricity. An engine uses fuel to produce power. America is two Continents, North America and South America. There is NOT an American Flag. The Stars and Bars is the Flag of the United States Of America.  Dusty ------------- 917 H, '48 G, '65 D-10 series III "Allis Express" |

Leather-wearing, loud-piped Harley riders that tail gate, then SCREAM past you only to get behind a slower moving vehicle that I end up on the bumper of the biker  . These clowns are out of control IMO  , it's a wonder there's not more biker fatalities  .

I just put the cruise on and let them figure it out!! Or you can change lanes and then get on their butt! They want you to go faster cause the cop is going to stop the first car or the last car. ------------- D14, D17, 5020, 612H, CASE 446 |

With all the fancy lights on the front of vehicles, my peeve may not be valid... but I don't care for those who have fog lights on when there is no fog. at least that used to be my pet peeve. ------------- Holding a grudge is like taking poison and expecting the other person to die |

my pet peeve is people that call a nozzle an injector. A nozzle is hydraulically operated by pump line and nozzle. An injector is a pump and nozzle in an unit mechanically operated by the cam shaft. My fuel injection instructor would flunk anyone who called a nozzle an injector. This was according to the Diesel engineering handbook we used in class. |

Absolutely agree Floyd. Another one for me is when people say "you need to do this, that's the way I did it". Bugs the hell out of me. Especially when it comes from my in-laws ------------- "Farming is a business that makes a Las Vegas craps table look like a regular paycheck" Ronald Reagan |

My biggest pet peeve is to have to follow some AH on highway that ain't got a lick of sense bout the state highway laws,,,!! New Mexico has signs all over the state that state "LEFT LANE FOR PASSING ONLY",,and Texas has the same thing and prolly most other states do as well,,! I hate coming up on a slow moving trk in right lane and some AH be tooting along in the passing lane,,at same speed as the slow moving trk and do that for miles. I've pulled up on the AH and flash my lights til they finally see me and pull over into the right hand lane. I usually kick into passing gear and flip em off as I speed by em,.,,,,Goldurned road hogs,,,!!!!

That's an oddly specific pet peeve. ….'least you probably don't run into it often....er….maybe you do since you're lookin' out for it.... Hmmm....so a nozzle is operated by a nozzle....??? And....I'd like to see the way it was written in the book.  Sounds like getting hung up on cap screws and bolts.

Riders that leave the high beams on constantly with motorcycles, or worse yet, the ones that have them constantly flashing hi/low. Another one, the new Ferd pickups with the brightest darn lights ever that seem to go to highbeam automatically, constantly on just an overcast day . . . . .

| One that really bothers me, is a left hand stacking / turning lane at a traffic light, and the people put enough room between them and the one in front of them to put a 18 wheeler. Just move up, and let more people enjoy the green light! |

You guys give up WAY too soon on "peeves" LOL!! How about the homeowner mowing with a side discharge mower between the road and their yard and BLOWING whatever comes out of the chute onto the road OR your vehicle . Motorcycle drivers that weave their way in and out of traffic until they come to a 4 way stop and then "shadow" a straight through vehicle BUT turn left WITHOUT stopping  . Motor cyclists are becoming a larger PITA the bicyclists .

Dave in PA. I hope you never have to drive thru Iowa when they have RAGBRI. Thousands of idiots on bicycles come to ride across the state from west to east. Every one of these clowns is breaking most traffic laws. I had to go pull the grandsons car out of the ditch. He came over the top of a hill and had to take the ditch to keep from killing a dozen or more of them riding on the wrong side of the road. And not one of the bozos stopped to see if he was ok. I was run off the road years ago by a bunch of them while I was driving a truck loaded with 1800 gallons of gas. Some clown running for state representative came up to me today riding his dam bicycle. I told him to keep peddling, and let him know how i felt about anyone on a bicycle on a highway. Every dam bicycle on the highways outta have a license plate and proof of insurance just like any body in a car or truck. Rant over!

| We have 'The Katy Trail' not five miles from here, the bicyclists are working to get the Rock Island Trail up and running but the Morons DO NOT USE THEM. They ride our secondary roads as "the Trails Are not Challenging Enough":. OK then ALL the trails go BYE BYE and they all HAVE to get road license pass tests and have their own insurance.

Mine is all the drivers that turn on their turn signals 30 feet from the turn instead of 300' before they move into the turn lane. They must have only read part of the drivers training book about turn signals. |

I might catch some guff for this one but I hate to hear an older person when they want something from you want you to cut your price because they are on a "fixed income". I've told more than one "well then get off your a$$ and do something" |

I agree with the license plate and the insurance, maybe not for kids in a plan of homes, on TWP. roads, BUT for sure on County and State roads!

Mine is when I'm mowing the road frontage, and some AH wants to stop in the middle of an active traffic lane, on one of the state's busiest 2 lane roads, and ask me directions. I generally point to the ear plugs, and shake my head, but have been known to flip a 180º turn, and spray them with grass clippings! ------------- Source: Babylon Bee.
