Peeves

Post by **silencertalk** » Thu Sep 10, 2009 9:32 pm

I will start:

1. Ketchup on hotdogs.
2. Hub caps.
3. Driving slow in the passing lane.
4. Littering.

Giant "coffee can" mufflers on base model compact cars with no power in the first place, and now, with no back pressure, no torque either.

Yeah -- 6 feet of 1.25 inch exhaust tubing capped with the last foot opening to 6 inches in diameter. That will help. I don't mind that existing but I do mind muffler companies claiming 10% HP boost.

You need to change your #2 to spinning hub caps.

Yes they do exist. And boy, they look cheap and FAGGISH.

1) Able-bodied people riding motorized carts
2) Toilet paper roll facing the unorthodox way
3) Tailgaters
4) Being asked for a "savings card" whenever I'm buying groceries

I will second toilet paper the wrong way.

Also store cards at Staples, Petco, supermarket. I don't mind REI as I think you just get 10% back.

I will add being asked if I would like a certain item in advance of my ordering at a drive through. Also being asked to donate money at the drive through. We donate to charities directly. If McDonalds wants to give $1 per customer to a charity they can do it from their own money like Target does.

As you can tell by my list, I don't own my own home.

1. Driving slow in the left lane. (stolen)
2. People touching my things or playing with them. So much gets broken this way.
3. People that nervously try to help you while you are doing something. Such as putting away ingredients or tools you need.
4. People that ask to see a knife, and after coaching, still immediately ruin the edge.
5. Lying.
6. People that "clean up" your area or things. "Cleaning" really means "losing everything."
7. Sponge floating in a dirty dishpan, because it's ruined.
8. 99% of aftermarket gun parts don't work. And I don't mean "universal parts" either.
9. Ricer flybys.
10. 10 on 1 fights.
11. Being wrong.
12. Stickers!
13. Tailgating. Where am I supposed to go? I know you want to go 1 over the limit anyway, fag.

Limeys that think they know what's best for America concerning the second amendment...[this does not apply to our pro-gun brothers across the pond of course].

Sheep that aren't content with me or anyone else not wearing a badge acting the part of a wolf.

The sound of styrofoam and certain plastic packaging on plastic cutlery.

The people that think my apartment complex needs to hear their "sick bass" at 2-3am.

Walking into any place of business in uniform and someone saying...I didn't do it or He's got warrants (pointing to their buddy). It happens every day.

Ever have a cotton ball in your mouth? Put one back by your molars and slowly gnaw a couple times. You now hate styrofoam.

I bet that got old on the first day. I agree, it is really lame.

I don't like dishes stacked soaking in the sink. I wash the gun grease off my hands and the toxins go all over the dishes. Dishes need to go straight into the dishwasher. If they cannot, they need to just sit and wait on the dry counter.

Especially if they have egg on them. No fun coming home to that smell and an unavailable sink.

Haha, Walmart in your commie state asks for ID. What a loser. In this free state over here I've never even heard of anything like that.

Although you can't carry the ammo in the store, it gets brought to the register. So if you're gonna go on a shooting spree, you're paying the $9.99 first, bitch.

Racists

Homophobes

Alpha males

Michael Moore

Anti-Military morons

Anti-gun morons

Parents who have no control over their kids in public

People who talk on cell phones at movie theaters while the movie is playing

People who play overly bassy music through shitty speakers

People who drive ricers with fart cans

I have more, but those were at the top of my mind at the moment.

OH MAN!

People that think it is weird to be self-sufficient.

My friends have told me it is lame, or creepy, or weird, or concerning that I:
~Can maintain things
~Own tools
~Have guns
~Want to hunt
~Grow food
~Can drive correctly
~Can sew
~Cook

I'm also uncool because I drive a real car and not a bubblecar. Or that I'd choose an out of style leather jacket over some stupid tech vest or whatever the hell is popular this week.

I disagree, I stack dishes in the sink, the hand washing is done in the Mudd room off the main entrance. The dirty pip poo boots, coveralls, snow boots, all sorts of things stay in there.

- Excessive texting is one
- Relationships that are too Co-dependent get on my nerves. For instance, A guy I know said he had to bring his cell phone when we went camping (I ended up being able not to go) because he needed to call his girlfriend if he was dieing to tell her he loved her. I told him he wasn't going to get reception out there anyway.
- The ACC Football Conference.
- Price gouging on Ammo prices. For instance, since this about peeves, I feel like I can talk about one.

Today, I went looking for ammo for the Silencer shoot. Of course, I couldn't find anything I was looking for at the first two gun stores, but I saw a hundred pack of 230 gr .45 ACP Winchester White Box at Dick's for $49.99, now... That's B.S.

I was thinking I'll take a little bit of gouging, but I know damn well Walmart has that for $30~, or at least last time I got some. Sports Authority had it for $59.99 for the same thing. I figured I'd pay 33% mark up, for say $40 for 100, it's still high but competitive, but, I know that Walmart has slim profit margins, so, I figure, that's pretty fair. But I'm not paying 66% mark up on the same exact item. I'm sure as hell not paying 100% markup (Sports Authority) over a competitior, I don't know what cost is (probably 22-25$ for it on the shelf, shipping everything included). So, I see Dicks doesn't have any 9mm 147 gr Remington, or 230 gr .45 ACP, so I go to the place I last expect to have it, and boom, 100 round bulk pack WWB 230 gr .45 ACP $32.

Anyway. I couldn't help but think about the many arguments people have had with David Hineline, and honestly, I can understand a good profit margin, and I understand Walmart's priced to put people out of business, but good god, Dicks will charge you $49.99 for .45 ACP 230 gr FMJ WWB, but only $19.99 for 50 packs of Remington UMC .45 ACP 230 gr FMJ , it's simple math that you're saving 5$ a box (when they have it in stock), and they're on the same exact shelf side by side. For the same quality (honestly UMC shoots somewhat cleaner in my experience, so maybe it's better, depends on your POV) bullets.

I'd pay $40 for that 100 round pack knowing, I can get it less than two miles down the same exact road for ten dollars cheaper because I know what Walmart does to the Industry (puts competition out of business, etc.) and to their workers (underpaid), but I'm not paying over 50% mark up over Walmart, there's still a healthy profit margin at $40, but $50? I don't know how they ever expect to sell a single box, with Remington on the same shelf for 50 for $19.99, and I know if I asked them to price match, they'd have a heart attack on me.

Anyway, sorry, that took off on a whole new tangent.

Ammo Prices, WTF. I can't wait for a Republican Majority in either the House or the Senate, when the gun ban scare is over.

I think that's enough of a single peeve for me.

ETA: I dropped by Academy (we just recently started getting them here, great store), they didn't have any .45 ACP in stock, which means they're probably fairly priced.

People texting constantly while you're having a conversation with them. It drives me up a wall. If they did it in a national park, then I'd totally shoot 'em.

You sound like an only child, or you have siblings that are significantly older or younger than you such that you were effectively an only.

anyone answering the phone, text, emails on their PDA or checking same when having an in-person, face-to-face, conversation with someone else.

90% of the time I won't even look at my cell phone to see who is calling if I am talking to someone else. If I am expecting a critical call then I will - that is the 10%.
