Don't be that guy. Pet peeves.

[ChinaBuck]

I have beem in supervision and I coached for years.  I tell them all if you wanna piss me off roll your eyes or do that tisk sound with their mouths.  So many laps people ran because of it.

I used to coach at the middle school level, lots of eye rolls with 13/14 year olds. Yeah, I had a few running laps for being openly disrespectful, usually mouthing off. I almost always had the parents' backs. So my real pet peeve were the Karens (mothers or fathers, but mostly mothers) whining about their sons' playing time.  My response was usually kids earn playing time in practice, they need to be there mentally and physically the whole practice. And that they were welcome to come to practice anytime to observe. That usually kept the Karens away.

In college I ran the pee wee baseball league for the city recreation department.  High school kids volunteered (as in no pay) to umpire the games.  These were like 7 to 8 years old kids playing.  I had one game where a couple of parents (always seems to be women) harassing the umpires about their calls.  I didn't let it go on for long before calling time out.  I walked over to the fence where the offenders were and calmly advised that the umpires were unpaid volunteers, that we were trying to teach their kids good sportsmanship, and that I was sure that if anyone in the bleachers wanted to umpire, I would gladly let them take over for the remainder of the game.  Stone silence, and I didn't hear another peep the rest of the game.

Excellent, love this story. 

I was not the head coach of the middle school team, but I had familiarity with a lot of the parents. We too had parents complain about the refs. Normally I would catch them after the game. But a couple of times I had to walk up into the stands. Our head coach was not as circumspect as I am, especially if foul language was used.

People who are always late for everything.

This so many times. We live in a world of time. I take it as disrespect.


Airplane travel, I hate those that bolt from the back the minute the plane gets in the gate. We got on orderly and we need to get off in an orderly fashion. (I will concedeIf youâ€re rushed for a connecting flight, you should be first off...flight attendants can make that happen)

Also. Airplane seats in coach should not recline. I usually donâ€t let the person in front of me do it anyways. Short people in exit rows also bothers me.

Your post belongs more in the airplane thread Geroge, but yes I absolutely agree on it all. 

ITT, I'm more talking about the friend in the group that is always late for everything. Be here at 3:00, they show up at 3:20, the rest of the group has been here since before 2:50. Then the "hey guys, what's up?" once they finally show up. It's even worse when you get 3 different cell phone calls/texts from them that say "I'll be there in 5 minutes."

While I agree about airplane seats shouldnâ€t be able to recline, as that two inches probably isnâ€t worth it, but I take that two inches every time. My kids hated sitting behind me as aside from having the seat in furthest back position, I like a bit of incline when driving. 

I am interested in how you donâ€t let the person in front do it. I am not sure how I would handle someone complaining, especially when they are likely shorter than me. That said, I am largely un bothered by others. One flight my wife was complaining about a lap kid kicking my seat.

B.O. of the person sitting next to me is a far worse problem. On a flight back from Korea I sat next to a guy that reeked. Longest flight ever.

What the heck? Iâ€m walking to my gate in Dallas airport next to one of those faux identified
Service dogs and it stops to take a piss in the middle of the aisle. Dog finishes, lady takes a look
At the puddle and off they go. She didnâ€t give a moments thought about cleaning it up.

Sorry, just catching up with this thread...

Yes I waited two days to post that.      

By the way, I agree. My wife will be late to her own funeral. Drives me nuts.

One of my all time pet peeves.  I just sat down to lunch and an idiot in the next table had just finished his.  He took the opportunity to loudly blow his damn nose, along with all the bubbling snot sounds that comes with it.  Of course you have to look over, and I see him opening up his napkin so he can thoroughly examine what had just come out of his nose.  This has always grossed me out and I can't believe it happens as often as it does.

Go to the damn restroom to blow your nose. 

He probably had to blow his nose because of the 1968 English Leather you were wearing.

Speaking of being Late: We have a long time friend who is always Late for everything we plan. This can involve Just Him, Him and his GF, Multiple People or just as Couples.
He will want to meet at say a restaurant you say whats a good time , He says 6pm You get there at 6 get a table they show at 6:45 if your lucky. He's always like can you get us a table.? Then After you say yes ,as you arrive at the Restaurant he'll text you oh I invited so and so can you get a table for 8 . Drives us nuts.
So with Covid the last year many Restaurants wouldn't seat you unless your party was all there. He could never make it on time so we as a group that were there would just go get seated him and the GF show up guess what they have to sit at another table while we all Eat, Drink and Have a good time. Took a few times of that before after all these years he shows up on time.
We also call him PLAN B , Because he would make plans with several people then ditch everyone and go where he thought the most fun would be happening. Then give you some lame excuse.
Got to the point several of us would go out not tell him and the GF then next time we got together talk about all the fun we had last time we were out. He finally started to get it the last year.
Thats my Pet Peeve for the Day. Being Late and getting Plan B'd

So Iâ€m eating at a restaurant and a group a couple of tables over are playing videos loudly on their phones. Glares from numerous people seem to have no effect. Have you run across this particular species of rectal orifice? I had guy sit next to me at a bar playing country music loudly on his phone. I asked him if he had ever heard of ear buds. Blank stare. Guess not.

So, I go to the toilet Friday which you need key card to access....few can use it but admin office and staff.   Open door, lock, go in and lift seat and look down.....some jackwad took monster freaking dump with gallons of urine and closed lid and walked out.  I'm sure he didn't wash his hands either.  Disgusting piece of horsehit.

speaker phone use in public places.  There should be summary firing squads to deal with these people.  

Ok, *slight* hyperbole there.

Jorts are like the best things, along with socks and sandals. .................OK, I'm not, just having some fun. Except for non satellite FM radio. I've never had Sirius or any of the others. Actually, most of the time I ride with complete silence. I like that.
