It's the THINGS THAT IRK YOU thread - not hockey related

[Call of Doughty]

While at sick kid's hospital Montreal, I'd like to thank whatever or whomever left a 4 ft long x 3 inch high scratch along the side of my chevy truck. From gas cap to rear tail light...baby is ok thanks, truck is a little worse for wear.

when trying to change or update your address on a website, but the address input bar won't accept or recognize your address so what you want shipped , won't be......useless....

This may have been said....but I run a ton of pools so always have people sending me Etransfers....

When people make NON OBVIOUS etransfer questions!!! You can literally make it "what is my last name?" Or something where the answer never changes! Of the thousands of transfer I have accepted here are some dumb ones....

1. (and the most common) "What was the password I gave you" - yes person sending me money....150+ people joined my pool and of course I want to scour through emails to find which answer you sent me.

2. "Who is your favorite team?" - Detroit? Red Wings? Wings? one particular time it ended up being "redwings".....which I would never think to guess because you don't spell it like that

3. "Who won the Super Bowl last year?" - I tried Ravens. Baltimore. Baltimoreravens. Turns out the guy had sent me money a year before when the Giants won....

I know this is judging a situation without knowing it all BUT still irks me. When I go to a store (seems to happen a lot at the Beer Store) and see a car, parked across 2 massive handicapped spots, the car a massive Caddy, and an old man struggling to stand out of the car. How is this man/person still legally able to drive if he can’t park in a spot, or get out of the car? It’s safe to assume his reaction time would likely not be up to snuff. I think it’s flawed that once you get your G license, you don’t get tested again until your 75yrs old (I think), and it’s just a written test. It should be a driven test, and do it every 5yrs after a certain age. I’d be fine doing a test as a 26yr old to re-up my license.

Also, I don’t like it when people park too close to a stop sign. It just makes turning at that intersection more difficult than it needs to be, and it’s all because the driver doesn’t want to walk another 20ft.

I'm going to piss off 90% of the population... but I find it annoying that so many people pull forward into busy commercial parking lot spaces.
Doesn't it make more sense to keep the front (& hence your natural peripheral vision) of your car/self looking towards the moving area of vehicles when you pull out?!?
Back It In. Think Now, Not Later.

I love reversing into spots. It annoys me when people are up your behind when in a parking lot and you throw your signal on, drive past the spot to reverse in and they think you just passed the spot so they try and nudge in.

Actually when leaving like a mall or a store, and someone follows you to your car for your spot REALLY gets me. I just sit in the car and wait for them to leave me alone.

Leaving dirty dishes in the sink, instead of putting them in the dishwasher. Smells great😁

I love reversing into spots.

Do you do this for any other reason than annoying people? I have often wondered why people back into spots?

So when leaving I don?t hit someone when reversing. People tend to fly in parking lots, and a lot of people don?t look where they are walking.

What?s annoying about reversing into a spot vs having to wait for someone to reverse out of a spot? If you?re good at reversing in, the time difference is noting (and are you that upset over an extra 3s?) but the safety aspect is a big difference between the two.

Agree, if you're driving a large SUV or truck, it's a lot easier to pull out if you back it up the first time. Anytime, I drive my large truck, I almost have to back it up or else I'll be forced to park at the edge of the parking lot.
