I' m sure we all have some pet-peeve about how other people do things. I know I have a lot, probably more than most of you. So what are the "whys" of your pet-peeves? Simply ask the question of the things that irk you, just don' t expect anyone else to be able to figure it out either! I' ll start this off with a few of mine...

Why do people drive 45 in a 55, but 55 in a 45?

Why do people run red lights, but stop for green lights?

Why do they allow senior citizens and Texans to operate motor vehicles?

Why do handicap people always buy expensive vehicles that they can never seem to handle?

Why do senior citizens always buy the biggest full-size 4-door sedans on the market?

Why do thugs (either those who have been to, or will be going to jail in the not-so-distant future) always buy used police units?

People can be stupid

color blindness maybe

Why do they allow senior citizens and Texans to operate motor vehicles?

Seniors cause they feel sorry, Texans cause they want someone competent on the road.

I have not witnessed this.. Rich people yes handicap no.

Why do senior citizens always buy the biggest full-size 4-door sedans on the market?

Why not, you cant take the money with you.

Why do thugs (either those who have been to, or will be going to jail in the not-so-distant future) always buy used police units?

To get used to the feel.

Why do people wear pants down around their knees?

Why cant people leave early enough to get where they are going at a reasonable pace?

Blinkers, why don't people use them. I can't read minds.

Why do women claim to understand men but cant even begin to understand themselves?

I have more just listing these few.

why cant people understand the difference between "your" and "you're"?

Why cant people understand that "all item's on sale" is incorrect?

Why can't people understand the difference between "can" and "may"?

yes, most of my pet peeves have to do with the use of the english language. I cant help it...when you cant use english properly, you come off as being unintelligent. It probably doesnt help that my wife has a degree in english...

Why do people wear pants down around their knees?

**It' s a status symbol that started from people who have been to jail. It originally started in jail. If you were your pants like that in prison, it meants you are somebody' s "B."**

Why cant people leave early enough to get where they are going at a reasonable pace?

**Because some of us are NOT morning people. If I can get to my destination in 10 minutes at 2:45 AM, it should take me no more than 10 minutes at noon, if the slow people would pull over and let me pass.**

Blinkers, why don't people use them. I can't read minds.

**Because it causes the bulbs to burn out faster.**

Why do women claim to understand men but cant even begin to understand themselves?

**Don' t you know women are always right? Don' t believe me....just ask one! :whistle:**

I have more just listing these few.

I have more too! LOTS! :whistle:

What about foreign people?:whistle::laugh:

Hey watch the Texan remark, i drive more in a month as a paramedic then most people do in 8 months. i have only had 1 fender bender when i was 16, and been driving for 10 years. yes there are alot of idiots drivers in texas, then again there are idiot drivers every where.
But dont put us all in the same boat.

If you look at my posts the spelling and puctuation is poor at best.

A carpenter not a teacher. This is the internet, not a business proposal.

And that don't irk me either.....:laugh:

Why can't women put their makeup on before they get in the car? Why can't teachers leave 10 minutes earlier so they don't have to run me off the road in the mornings? Why can't I learn how to space my sentences out?
