for me, one of my worst pet peeves are drivers on cell phones. whenever someone veers into my lane or sits at a green light for 10 seconds it's usually because they are trying to text on their cell phones.  |

People who think that the world is their ashtray, especially those who throw lit cigs out of their cars.
Also people who don't use turn signals. Or have them on for 50 miles.

Pharmaceutical commercials.....they tell all that it does and shows happy people. Then, the bad news, what it could (most likely) really do for you. Those dang Viagra ones that come on when I'm watching TV with my family.....yikes!! Four hour WHAT!!??

can you imagine walking into the ER and having to explain you have a 4-hour woody that won't go away?

That is a very awkward and controllable scenario, but to think that the pharmaceutical companies would make sure the commercial is running during times that children are watching is just out right greed. I think they can push that drug in the urologists' office, no?
The false hope of other drugs they push on our society that may claim to help one condition, yet cause other conditions that could complicate the original one and/or possibly kill you is as bad as any product that is known to harm......ie cigarettes, beer, McDonald's etc....

UNFAIR! How does Mink get a karma point and the rest of us don't? And, what the heck are karma points anyway? Can we trade them for valuable prizes?

Can I help it if I'm beautiful?? Your're gorgeous! And I see that my last post whining about karma points got me one. You should see if you can find a picture that you like, Mink, then post it in photobucket or something and then put the URL in your profile page. That way you can get exactly the pic you want for your avatar. |

Ditto on the cell phones. I was waiting at the intersection of Corby and Hearn aves. I was 1st to go straight north towards the DMV. This guy who is 1st in the left turn lane is texting away. I started to hear honking and looked over to see this douche texting on a green light. He knew the the light was green and kept on texting, quickly looking up at the light and in his rear view. He kept on texting until it was a really old yellow light, then gassed it and flew through the intersection. This POS stuck everyone for another long wait in the turn lane. This is what we get to drive with in Santa Rosa.

My pet peeves are simple. People who think the government should be the steward for all of our problems.

Oh yeah, I forgot trigger words on those substandard forums. You know, the liberal rag of Sonoma County.
