Things that irritate ya'

[Ski]

Long arming a fish for a picture to make it look bigger. Most anglers are well aware of this nonsense especially when the persons hand is larger then his head in the pic.

Left lane drivers, constant lane changers, and no turn signal drivers all do it for me.  Some of the other things in this thread too and other things not mentioned.  For me, it all comes down to inconsiderate actions.  A little bit of consideration and politeness doesn't cost a thing and goes such a long way.  I'm a pretty cool head nearly all of the time, but every now and then if you really push my buttons oh man.

Woodchucks that eat my entire garden.

[Susky River Rat]

People at work who tell me they aren’t going to fix their mistakes.  I give them three options. They can fix it. They can get weld tested again and if they pass they can fix it. They can get weld tested fail lose pay but, not have to fix it.

Harleys with stereos, and the people that ride them.

[casts_by_fly]

Unreliable charging cords. They work when you try them and then at some point mid charge they stop. You could on one for a trip and you’re SOL when it stops working.

My neighbor has one and he blasts music from it when he goes for a ride, which is about twice a week. Luckily, the music he plays is tolerable though, it’s usually classic rock. I think it’s a Road King, which is a really nice bike.

Lifeguards.   I was at the public pool today.  I was taking a leak in the deep end.  The lifeguard saw me and started blowing his whistle.  It startled me so bad I fell off the diving board.

Coulda just said people at work and stopped. That's what irritates me. Don't get me wrong I work with some great guys....work with a bunch of turds as well.

Pretty unrelated but the other day I changed lanes about 20 consecutive times on an open road - no cars behind or beside me - just to remind myself that I can take any lane in life that I want

Sometimes I change lanes just because I'm tired of looking at the lane I'm in.

You ever just yell nonsense in the car cuz it’s fun? Because I do that a lot too. Especially when I’m going fishing. I couldn’t describe to you things I say even if I tried

I mean, probably it looks like nonsense to anybody that might see past my tint, but I'm in my vehicle roasting everybody else's driving and trying to avoid the people driving Altimas (which are the automotive version of velcro shoes).

Tell you what's starting to irritate me lately.  A hot, dry climate and smoke-filled air.  We go from near record snowfall to drought in like a month here.  Virtually no rain in over a month now.  People complain about winter so we can get to summer, and THIS is summer.  Its like living on Mars.

 The first thought that came to mind was how my Dad loved that scene in the movie “The D.I.” with Jack Webb.

 

 Anyway, as for what irritates me it might be a weathered, faded, tattered and battered American flag flying over a building where employees and the public walk by it every day without taking notice or thinking anything of it. After driving by a local Bank of America with just such a flag I mentioned to the Mrs the condition of the flag and that it hasn’t been replaced in over a year. Mrs B knew it bothered me, remembering how her boss was “mortified” when I pointed out the condition of the posted flag outside their office when I visited her at work one day. 
 
 While I drove towards our destination, my wife called BofA and after a 40 minute wait we were able to speak to a person and explain the reason for the call. The person was understanding, especially after it was pointed out the American flag is literally on their logo right next to the flag in question.  Anyway, long story short on the second day after the phone call this was above that Bank of America as I drove past…

Back to being serious.  I saw something today at the landing that irritates me, not just at boat landings but everywhere.   People who aren't handicapped using handicap parking.  It makes me want to knee cap them with a tire iron.   

[Kirtley Howe]

Don't be too quick to judge....for instance, I don't LOOK handicapped but I am a cancer survivor with copd, and I also have a really messed up foot and left knee. On good days, I don't need to use the handicap parking and I do not use it, but on my bad days I really do need it and do use it. I do make sure to always display my handicap placard. I have sometimes been told that I should not park in the handicap spot because people can't see my handicap. But that being said, I do get upset by people who use the handicap parking when they don't need it.  That is the height of selfishness and lack of consideration for others.

[Woody B]

The people I'm talking about are usually teenagers with no handicap placard.   

[flyfisher]

People who get irritated about things that are out of their control

People who state things and when asked for a source can't provide it

People who believe in conspiracy theories beause that is easier than learning about an actual topic

People who think school systems are places to live out their political dreams

 

 

[T-Billy]

John Wayne toilet paper.

[casts_by_fly]

People that chew noisily and often with their mouth partially open.  That really gets me, so much that I just put on ‘dinner music’ all the time.

Can’t say I’ve ever seen that. Sounds like there’s an enforcement issue.

I've actually called the police on illegal handicap parking...here it's a $200 fine.
