New peeve thread???

As for keeping two hands on the wheel? LOL. I drive a stick. More often than not, my right hand is on the gear shift, not the wheel. :

Just wondering if your right hand is on the gear shift and your left hand is holding a cell, what hand is on the wheel? (I assume you are not talking about a hand held phone). If you were in NJ you could be pulled over and wind up paying a hefty fine.

My pet peeve with cells came to a peak a few weeks ago. I was in church and the choir had just begun to sing. A little old white haired lady in front of me answered her cell phone in church!! Did she go out and have her conversation in the narthex? Noooooo.... She sat and talked during the entire song that the choir was singing and hung us just as they finished. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

My pet peeve involving phones is different from most people's. MY cell phone exists for MY convenience, not everyone else's. There are a lot of times during the day (when I'm getting ready for work, or an hour or so after work, when I'm getting ready for bed, etc) when I don't feel like talking on the phone. Leave me a darn message and I'll call you back!!

Don't call me half a dozen times and then demand to know why I didn't pick up. It's nothing personal, I just didn't feel like talking to anyone. ANYONE. If it's an emergency, you can send the voicemail through as "urgent" and I will check it, but don't expect me to drop everything just because the phone rang.


Yesterday, I was driving over Hwy 17, which is a very twisty and dangerous road. I witnessed the results of a horrifying four-car crash that happened bcause someone was in a huge hurry and cut someone else off on a blind curve, slammed into the car in front of them, etc. I really don't like unsafe drivers, especially on a road that's already dangerous. A lot of people around here thing it's cool to go as fast as possible over 17. It takes me 35 minutes to get over it, but some of my friends have done it in twelve.


I think everyone here knows that almost all of my other pet peeves are related to little kids being noisy or rude or being where they shouldn't.

One that just came to mind because it happened today.

It seems as if i'm the only one who put the toilette paper on the hanger thing. Everyone else sits it on the edge of the sink (when they then splash water all over it.) or on the back of the toilette. Is it really that hard to put it up and dispose of the empty roll!? NO!

I don't even attend church and I find that horrible. People are so inconsiderate. Especially someplace like church. Geez.

Johanna. You remind me of my brother, who will use any and every reason to justify his constant cell phone usage. He he he!!!

That being said, what's hand's free for? You can talk and drive, all at the same time, without diverting your attention to 'holding' a phone. Its no different than talking to someone sitting in the passenger seat with you. Guess people shouldn't have a passenger with them either.
