What Really Grinds Your Gears?

[Bishop2b5]

I get a lot of ‘delivered’ notices, yet nothing gets delivered,… then suddenly like five days later,…. There it is

Same here

 

[NDdomer2]

well Irish#1 you have cursed me. I ordered a few things for the kiddo from the ND bookstore. Shipped via UPS - got to fort wayne, went to ohio, then illinois and back to fort wayne then to Auburn. Transferred to USPS in auburn. They put it on truck for delivery, dont deliver it and mark it return to sender. WTF. Now UPS tracking says it is in the hands of USPS. USPS tracking returns nothing.

I'm torn. I want you to receive the goods that you paid for but, selfishly, I don't want the saga to end

LOL. I want that package to look like the packages in the Loony Tunes cartoons with foreign country stickers slapped on that bad boy from each country that package traversed.

Said the same thing to my wife last night, when she asked what's so funny? I told her it went from Greenbriar to Indy a second time then heads back to Orlando. You can't make this shit up.

Promise us you will take a selfie with the delivery person when it is finally delivered.

Sorry AB2, he got there before I got home.

And that kids ends the story of "WTH happened to Irish#1's grass trimmer part?"

People who drive with their high beams on and don’t turn them down when they approach an oncoming car. I feel like I notice it happening a lot more in recent years than I did in the past. Don’t be a dickhead, turn down your lights when you come up to another car.

I've noticed it happening a lot more in the past couple of years too. Even when you flash your high beams at them, they still won't turn theirs down. I don't know if they're being rude and inconsiderate, or they're clueless and just don't understand.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

People who drive way too fast in store parking lots to the point that they have little to no regard for people walking in the parking lot.

And white women are predominantly the culprits where I live based on my relative experience. I'm just going to say it.

Yeah, backing out can become a risky proposition when they're zipping along.

My pet peeve are those that walk in the middle instead of to the side forcing you to crawl along until they get to their car. I have to constantly remind my wife to move over so cars can get by.

I agree. I think the newer head lights are a big culprit for this as well, though. My wife has a 2015 Acura RDX and we both get flashed all the time while driving it when our low beams are on and it does not even have the annoying blue light or LED ones that are ridiculous even at low beam.

I am guilty of doing this and feel like a jackass every time, but those new lights are so effing bright. Idk what the manufacturers were thinking; it must be nice or the drivers of the vehicles but they're blinding us other drivers.

 

[ab2cmiller]

Most people walking in the parking lot would notice the white back up lights and the car backing out……. unless they were on their phone.

My neighbors a couple doors down leaving their 3 dogs out for an hour while getting ready for work. I get you are trying to get your kids and yourselves ready for the day, and want the dogs out of your hair/have them go to the bathroom. But they are out there for an hour barking and howling while everyone else is also getting ready or sleeping (between 5:30 and 6:30 AM).

They do the same at night around 10:00 as well.

 

[ACamp1900]

Most dogs.

Not cool. We used to live in a subdivision where the houses were close together. The neighbor next door left their dog out all night on a chain and it would bark constantly. He never would take the hint about his dog being a problem, so when the dog started barking, I called his house (before caller id) and would hang up when he answered. If the dog started up I'd call again. It took a few days but he finally figured it out.

That's infuriating. As soon as I hear one of my two dogs start barking to come in, or just barking in general if there's another dog walking by or something, I run out to grab them; no one wants to hear that. ESPECIALLY that early or late in the day.

One of my two is a husky, who loves to be outside majority of the time, but thankfully huskies aren't known to bark much. Only time she howls is when we come home or have company over.

My next-door neighbor was dog-sitting last week.... damn thing would not shut up. I was beginning to understand why David Berkowitz said he was driven to murder by a barking dog.

I need you to come train my Husky/German-Shepard mix then. He barks incessantly if he's outside on his own.

No kidding, must be the German Shepard in him? I don't have too much experience with Shepards.

My girl is silent. She howls/talks when people come over, she loves company, but the only way I can even get her to bark at all is to say "please" for a treat haha. Most huskies I've been around "talk" more than they bark.

We've got a 13yo husky, but she still moves like she's young, so hopefully she's around a few more years.

She's silent, as well. Won't make a peep unless she's in the mood to talk, then she does the rarrararararar screaming thing that eventually turns into howling lol.

There's tons of wildlife in our neighborhood. She ignores birds, other dogs, cats, rabbits, she went out to try and sniff a possum that was moseying along our fence one night, but didn't make a peep... saw racoons out front one time from the window and just stared at them.

But if a squirrel dares enter her territory... you'd think she was a junkyard dog the way she starts barking lol. It's the only thing that makes her bark these days, even if I try to get her to speak for a treat. I don't know why she hates them and totally ignores the existence of other animals.

Interesting, mine doesn't care much for squirrels and will ignore them even if they get dangerously close for walks. Anything else she'll go nuts for; there is a possum around here as well that she goes NUTS over if it's beyond our fence, and she chases rabbits on the daily. She got one once...brutal scene. She didn't eat it but let's just say I'm really glad it was garbage night....

Even then she won't really bark, it's just a chase until the animals escape through the fence (99.9% of the time).

Hope your girl has a few more good years in her, huskies are the best companions if you can put up with the fur. Very loyal, great family dogs, and the funniest personalities haha.

You conditioned him... Like a dog
