Pet Peeves

[accadacca]

Ok, this could be anything and hopefully not a mile of political memes. :lol8:

My first one is simple. When I see a car on the freeway and their license plate is loose and just flapping in the breeze. Call me a perfectionist, but please tighten that sucker!!! :facepalm1:

[rockgremlin]

People who cruise the passing lane going less than the speed limit. Never budging an inch for miles, just clogging up the passing lane like an entitled idiot.

[devo_stevo]

I think that's one that everyone can agree with.

Related are the guys that will ram themselves up your ass when you're doing 10 over the speed limit in the left lane and you're passing someone. Just back off you jerk.

So I've been getting a massage every two months or so for the last few years. The gal I was seeing (Megan) who worked at the high end spa I was going to no longer works there...she was REALLY good. A skilled massage therapist can do wonders. Her no longer working there bums me out, so a couple days ago I go online to seek a new therapist. Someone close to my house, ideally.

I choose a gal working her own business not far away. I went to get a massage from her last night. This was my first time seeing her...I was hoping she would be good, and I chose her because her website looked professional and I just had a "gut feeling"...If it turned out to be a lousy massage, I'd keep looking.

MY GOD did I ever hit the lottery. She opens the door to let me in and she's magnificently beautiful. We sit down on the sofa and she does a little interview and then I go into the room, undress and lay on the table...covering myself with the sheet, of course...just like I'm supposed to. I'm there for a therapeutic full body massage, her beauty is just an added bonus. Megan was attractive, too.

Anyway...she's very skilled. Within minutes of her starting to work on me I figured that I'd found a new masseuse. I'm laying on the table with my face buried in the pillow and I hear her say "It's hot in here, I'm going to take off my sweater".

A little while later she has me roll over and I see what she had on under that sweater...it's a camisole and she has fantastic boobs. Now, this isn't some cami that you'd see some gal wearing at the grocery store...this thing was full on lingerie, something sexy that a gal would wear to bed.

Now I know what your'e thinking...Happy ending, right? WRONG. I didn't inquire about such a thing and she didn't offer it. She's just a very free spirited kind of gal and she told me she felt very comfortable with me and she wants to be "comfortable" while she does her work. I was flattered that she considered me "boob worthy"...as she told me most guys get a massage while she wears something more substantial. I would imagine that's quite true...she's very smart, not the reckless type IMO.

The pet peeve? I've always prided myself as not being just another slobbering jacked up dude that falls for a gal doing such a thing, but she set the hook and reeled me right in. "He'll be back"...oh, you bet your ass I will. Funny thing is, her skill was good enough to have me return regularly, so the sexy top was really unnecessary.

Just when I think I'm old enough and have enough experience with women that I can avoid being quipped like that...I'm brought to my knees.

[accadacca]

Especially when they pass you only to catch right up to the other jackwagons in the fast lane. Yeah bro, blow my doors off so I can follow you. Just like the clowns who speed up to a red light. You pull up right next to them and it’s like, hey what’s up boy racer?

[Iceaxe]

I can't believe you guys are talking shit about me... I don't give a crap how fast you are driving over the speed limit, when I come up behind you in the fast lane get the f**k over where you belong... now you know one of my many pet peeves...

[Sombeech]

How about when you're in the Right lane and somebody passes you on the left, as they should, but they decide they are going to take it down a notch, get over into the right lane in front of you, and make you slow down so now you've gotta go around and pass them.

Another one are those drivers that creep up and camp on your ass so close that if I had to stop quick they're buying me a new car.

Completely myopic behavior, and downright criminal if they don't have insurance.

My wife's coworker has a 19 year old daughter that just totaled the family car in just this fashion --- driving waaay too close to the car in front of her and then plowed right into that car when they had to stop quick. :facepalm1:

Pet peeve? All these BMW drivers who know how to use an iPhone with their thumbs & fingers, but don't know how to use the direction indicators on their cars.

Pet Peeve realized tonight: Driving my nephews Class-C RV (POS) back to SLC from Las Vegas (yes, this was a surprise to me) and get into SL County and hit ~6:45pm traffic, I'm trying to turn RIGHT to the exit lane to hit 114th south and MF'ers are using that exit lane as their FAST PASS to get ahead of ~30 cars so they can merge back into traffic. What I would give to have a .50cal mounted to the roof!!!!

Posts that don't have happy endings.Ha! How about an update?

I went in to have massage number 2 a couple nights ago. Just as I expected, she has set the precedent with the camisole, and answered the door wearing yoga pants and a tank top.

Funny...she complains about guys coming in trying to get "extra service" and says that she has to burn some sage in the room to get rid of the weird vibes and although I didn't say anything, all I can think is "Well put some friggin' clothes on and maybe you won't have that problem". But that's just the way she rolls...she's 44 going on 18.

I lay on the table and she gets to work. She starts talking...and talking, and talking. She vented for the entire hour about her recent divorce. Her life story mixed in, as she was married for 22 years.

Now, I'm a house painter...so I've heard lots of divorce stories. Some of these gals will follow me around all day long just spewing about what a POS the old man was. A woman scorned, no doubt! Especially if the guy took off with another woman...dumped for someone else. I've seen the anger of that drag on for two years.

Anyway, Sherrie my massage therapist has a story unlike anything I've ever heard before. It was like an episode of Jerry Springer on steroids...it's amazing what a woman will tolerate when she's obsessed with a man. Almost unbelievably ridiculous. She's a MESS. A little batshit crazy, too. She's getting therapy over a dude that treated her like a doormat. She says she couldn't believe he was seeing another because she herself is "so hot"...says she was running around the town they lived in (Pagosa Springs) wearing sexy clothes to rub his face in it. To no effect on him, but certainly getting everyone else's attention in town.

She's single right now, and said "I can hand pick any guy from 18 to 80"...but I'll tell you what...whoever the next boyfriend is, he's in for a wild ride. Baggage piled to the ceiling with this one.

So at the end, she says "All this peaceful massage environment is kind of a ruse"...and I replied "Yeah, this hippy-dippy new age chick stuff just went right out the window...you're a f***ing redneck!"

She laughed a little at that, but I think it might have hurt her feelings a bit, too. We'll see.

I'll go in for another in a couple weeks, and hopefully she's got her "story" out of the way now. If she can do her work without the talk, talk, talk...then great. Otherwise, the next one will be the last.

Had to call the cops a couple times with them banging on the door at 3 in the morning...had to get a restraining order on one. My days of "Pet the kitty first, worry about involvement later" are over. I walked out of that place shaking my head in disbelief.

She looks great...no doubt about that. But after she opened her mouth and started talking it all went downhill. I've heard a lot of women say that...they'll see a guy that looks good until he starts talking.

Automatic flushing toilets - especially ones that are calibrated wrong, so they flush at the slightest little movement while taking care of business, so it flushes 10 times per transaction. We have a couple at work that are like that.

Had to laugh at an experience last week. Wife and I took a break while snowboarding up at PCMR to take a leak in the john at the PC base. In the mens room, they had their newly installed waterless urinals, that they were so proud of that they obviously had to toute with little signs above them pointing how how they were saving the planet by not using any water. I came out of the mens room and waited for my wife to come out of the womens. When she came out, she was complaining about the automated toilet she was on, and how it flushed around 6 times while she was on it. I told here, well - good thing they compensated for all of that waisted water with the waterless unies in the mens room. :bootyshake:

The worst thing about automatic flushing toilets is when they don't flush and you are forced to walk away with a big old turd in the punch bowl...

Haven't been back for a third visit yet, and I'm leaving for a big road trip...but I'll likely see her again early next month.

I would direct you to her Facebook page...and if I did, you'd be like, whoa! She's a wild chick. But I don't want some spammer to go in there and harass her.

She gives a great massage...it's just that I could do without the Hooters routine and listening to the divorce drama.

[devo_stevo]

Another that comes to mind is that I can no longer tell someone that it's a quarter to one without someone immediately correcting me and saying it's 12:47 or something like that. Maybe it's just me, but I hate that everyone now knows exactly what time it is all the time to the second.

Is it too much to expect professional manners, appearance, and interaction from doctors when you go and visit them to discuss sensitive issue/condition that may impact your health and possibly life? Or am I asking too much for a doctor these days, and is this just a silly pet peeve that I need to get over?

My wife was recently referred to a cardiologist, and I accompanied her to the initial office visit for the first time meeting this doctor. While we were seated in the side chairs in exam room, this young 30s something cardiolist comes walking into the room to meet us and question my wife about her symptoms and concerns. He looked about as unprofessional and acted as disinterested and unintelligent as the bare minimum requirements would likely allow for a doctor. He was dressed in simple drab medical scrubs, with crocs on his feet, long unkept barely combed greasy hair, and hadn't shaved in several weeks. He came in, plopped down on the docs exam stool, and throughout the majority of the interview/exam leaned onto exam table to hold up his head while he lazily put much of his weight on it. When talking with my wife, he hardly asked any follow up questions, and in describing heart functions and other processes relative to her symptoms, he really struggled to express the terminology and functions. One valuable lesson I remembered early in college is that a good measure of your understanding of a complex subject is your ability to explain and describe that concept to someone who knows nothing about that concept. This guy really struggled spitting out the proper terminology and describing what was going on.

I'm sure if pressed him about lifestyle habits that are good for a healthy heart and cardiovascular system, he would spit out a textbook answer about good diet and regular exercise. But, it was clear that this guy doesn't practice anything close to what would be considered any type of diet control or regular exercise. He had a very nice size gut, and from the absolute lack of any muscle tone in his exposed arms, he hadn't stepped into a gym or done any exercise in years - if ever. I bet if I took him up on the BST anywhere, his cardio was likely so bad, he wouldn't last a 10 min brisk walk before having to stop for a long break to catch his breath.

Comparing this clown to my orthopedic surgeon that I've had for 25+ years is like night and day. Whenever I visit the ortho, he comes into the exam room wearing nicely pressed shirt and tie, with either a sport jacket or lab coat on, pressed dress trousers, and nice clean loafers. Clean groomed hair cut, and clean shaven. When talking with him about my symptoms and concerns, he is very attentive and asks good follow up questions. He understands and knows his stuff, and is great and describing what is going on and giving a clear detailed diagnosis and analysis. Kind of that meme with the 2 pics with Carry Grant on one side in a suit and full length dress coat, and on the other a sloppy millenial with a man bun, baggy clothes, and flip flops - with the caption of comparing real men from previous generations to todays 'man'.

How am I supposed to respect and trust the analysis of a doctor that gives the impression that he doesn't want to show up to work and act and look professional to patients who are potentially putting their life into his hands?

[Scott Card]

I'd get a new doctor. There are a lot of good doctors out there. Are you in Utah? I think I could recommend a couple to you if you are in the metropolitan area (SLC north to Davis County or south to Utah County). I am a firm believer in looking the part and paying attention to the client/ patient. Sorry for your lousy experience.
