The reason I bring this topic to bear is not political although I am sure there are many 'Pet Peeves' loaded into that subject alone. No, this derives from my personal experience(s) involving fast-food drive thru's.
With the fast rise in gasoline (petrol) prices this is a concern that is related but not the crux of my pet peeve or shall I say disdain for the 95.6% of the people in front of me at a drive thru.
How is it a car holding either one person (the driver) or say four people who pull up to a drive-in speaker box and then have no clue whatsoever as to what they want? Then after five minutes of back and forth with the cashier/order taker (everyones engines running I might add) it turns out all they had to say was #2 or some combination of numbers as so clearly spelled out on not just one, but two menu's before they got to the squawk-box which at that point, in their face, is yet another menu!
It does not end there with these folk's, no, now you are in line (que) at the 'pay window' behind them and lo and behold they "find out" they do not have enough money to pay for what they took so long to order and the scramble begins. This is usually a two minute or more scramble for change; on the floor, seat, glove box, passengers,,,, really anywhere (I strongly suspect they knew and were looking for a "break"). Mind you, their engine, mine and all the people behind me are still running.
One of these days I am just going to ram them the hell outta my way and I don't care if a gallon of gas is $0.25 !
I apologize, just venting.
I should clarify, the lack of usage of them. What is so damned difficult about that little lever to operate indicating which frickin' direction you wish to turn your vehicle that some people cannot grasp the concept?????
OK, Those are my top two pet peeves, we all have them, do you have any you wish to share? I am quite sure, should you decide to vent, you will find that you are not alone.
