Tell us little things that piss you off. Mine include people that spell etc. ect. But the one that bugs me the most right now is people that post on facebook something like "best food in town............and go." Like we were all lined up at the starting gate with three restaurants in mind but were waiting for them to say go.
Are instead of our. Hate it.

People that don’t know how to fly the Tennessee State Flag. Embarrassing that businesses and especially schools fly the thing upside down. 2 stars on top, one on the bottom is proper way.
I just make sure the words aren't upside down.

Thanks for the reality check. Not sure I ever thought of the neck angle. Certainly times I’ve had a crick in my neck not making it easy to look around as you indicate, so definitely understand that. While I know this isn’t the reason a lot of people choose to back into spots it at least sheds some light as to a very plausible reason some, like yourself, do. Thank you!!!!!
People being all nice and **** in a thread about things that piss you off. C’mon dude we’re being outraged here.

One pet peeve of mine is people that say "I heard" as evidence of something. "The ending of Lost sucked." "Did you watch it?" "No but I heard it was bad." I mean maybe it did but make up your own mind.

I hate when people say stuff like "Well, could you do better?" when critiquing professional players. Of course not. No one thinks any of these professional athletes are anything other than amazing athletes to get this far. But yes, some are better than others, and some, might not belong as a starter/on the team/in the league.

It's such a cop-out argument. Just because I'm not a starting PG in the NBA, doesn't mean I can't state that a 5 for 21 shooting night isn't a good performance. Both can be true: I don't belong on an NBA court, and Kevin Porter Jr isn't good enough lead an NBA team.

In regards to backing into a spot.. it's very simple:

Driving forwards is inherently easier than driving backwards. So it only makes sense that you pull INTO a tight spot forwards.. and you back OUT of a spot into an open parking lot. When you park normally, there is far less chance that you need to take multiple tries at it. I pull into a spot on the first try and I back out on the first try.

I don't wait for reverse-parkers at all anymore. If I can, I go right past them as they try and maneuver.. and if they screw up the first time trying to back in, there's absolutely no waiting for them to try again.

Honestly, for the reverse parkers, just go to the back of the lot where you have all the freedom and room you need. I don't know why anyone would try and back into a spot in a crowded lot, unless it's out of vain.

While out on a first date when your guts start to cramp. Carefully you try to let the massive fart ease out and suddenly realize it wasn't a fart.
Or the way a fart smells when let go in the tub.

Going to a specialist, who was referred by your primary care doctor, who is in the same hospital group (St. Joe) and before you go to your appointment, having to fill out page after page after page with my address, my SS# and birthdate on probably 25 places each.

Jeezus, don't hospitals have computers that store all the same info? Why do I have to fill in the same damn information 25 times? Sign the release, the privacy form and about 2 other things and be done with it for God's sake.

I don't like people who get into highways and immediately must zoom into the fast lane.
When they cross over the solid white merging line behind other cars and then proceed to accelerate making the cars merging in front of them have to wait for them? Those people? Or the people who have to drive in the fast lane regardless of what speed they are driving? Those people?

Like the doctor who amputates the wrong leg. Have you ever even performed surgery, let alone amputated a leg? What gives you the right to be a critic?

Or having doctors not read their patient forms. I took my mom to a specialist and the docotr walks in “Oh, hello bbn’s mom” (noticing my mom in her power wheel chair. “Are you a paraplegic? Are you able to walk?”

I don’t know which one of me or my mom wanted to call in Bill Engvall first. Needless to say we requested a different doctor after that. My God. READ THE DAMN CHART. If I can’t trust you to read the chart fully you sure as hell aren’t making any diagnosis for her. I mean it’s not like it’s a rare disorder. She had an accident, she’s in a wheelchair. Doesn’t take a Harvard medicine degree to figure that one out. I understand paraplegia can refer to any two limbs technically but when the chart says paraplegia- lower extremities……hereeeere’s your sign doc.

Geeze.

That’s ok though. One of my female friends was unfortunate enough to be born without a uterus, meaning of course she can’t currently have children. Touchy and emotional subject to be sure. One of her GPs walked in and asked her once (she was having nausea) “Do you think you might be pregnant?”
If that were me, I’d have been escorted out of the office after cursing out a doctor. Needless to say it upset my friend horribly and she field a complaint against the moron.

Again. READ THE DAMN CHARTS. How hard is this? I get it. Doctors see hundreds of patients. But if you can’t discern basic medical information from and can’t take five minutes to double check the chart the has been documented from other health care providers….maybe you should lessen your patient load.

I mean I get it. Doctors are human too, but dang some I truly worry about (see my post above). Like doc, please tell me you didn’t just barely pass med school. I don’t want Harvard’s D student please.

Dude. Had a weird dream it snowed in Western Kentucky today. Like it was 88 yesterday and snowed today. And no one was like panicking. It was kinda cool.

I'd love snow right now.

Every time that winter holds over into spring, I get mad, and yet every single summer, I whine about the heat. I wish it could just be October all year.

Golf. And, people talking about golf. Damn! Just pissed myself off.

I shot 81 yesterday, had 2 birdies, several double bogeys, but really hit the ball a lot better than I have, excited about the rest of the season. It was really really hot though. Do you need more detail, happy to share if you like.

Infuriating! There is a golf thread for your accomplishments. Please be so kind as to confine your golf chatter to golf thread.

Things that piss me off? THAT. That whole damn map pisses me off.

If this summer were a spouse? I’d want a damn divorce.

My Roku remote won't work when I want it to half the time without hitting a button several times but it will change the channel or turn off the tv every single time I accidentally touch it or knock it on the floor.

When calling any institution in America, the chances of the person on the phone being able to help and/or answer your question roughly coincides with the following chart:

1st person - 0%, who then transfers you to no. 2
2nd person - 10%, who then transfers you to no. 3
3rd person - 25%, who then transfers you to no. 4
4th person - 50%

If no. 4 is no help, then after that, the other 50% is a combination of (a) phone call gets disconnected and you have to start over; (2) no one can help you: (3) you leave a message and no one calls back
