ParticipantI’m glad you asked. My pet peeve du jour… Warning, it’s gross: People who wear spandex. I’m at the gym trying to do some reps and there’s always some fat blob on the floor sporting a spandex camel toe or moose knuckle right in front of me. It’s not like I can turn away, the machines are in a fixed position Richard Simmons!
Walk by a spin class and you see 100 fat, spandex-covered arses in the air, with a sweaty crack clearly defined.
SPANDEX NEVER EVER EVER LOOKS GOOD. IT DOES LITTLE TO IMPROVE ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE. NOT ON BICYCLISTS, NOT AT THE GYM, NOT IN A HOUSE, NOT ON A MOUSE. YOU NEED VENTILATION, NOT CONSTRICTION. PLUS, I DON’T WANT TO SEE THE OUTLINE OF YOUR JUNK.[img_assist|nid=7482|title=|desc=|link=node|align=left|width=466|height=311]
How’s that for a pet peeve? Also, I hate it when people at the gym occupy a machine or object they are clearly not using.

(1) People who drive in the city with their headlights on high beam. Absolute lack of civic sense on how they are blinding their fellow road-users while they themselves are not gaining anything.
(2) Folks who assume its their right to park as they like in the parking lots. You see those big white lines…they exist for a reason. When I get rich enough, I will put a lawyer on a retainer and simply run into these vehicles that cross the markers when parked. It will be my way of philanthropy. My contribution to the society. So, when you hear on evening news of the crazy fellow running into parked cars, you know I got rich.
(3) tailgaters….here is an everyday situation: a lady on phone comes screaming towards you on the freeway, sets herself about 5 feet behind you while the traffic is moving at 70 miles/hour. You get out of her way by changing lanes, but a few seconds later she follows you and is right behind you again…..

ParticipantOMG!! Nostradamus–that picture speaks louder than words. I almost can’t bring myself to look!! Ugh. Yep, that’s definitely a bad thing. . . but it isn’t my particular pet peeve. My pet peeve is:
Lazy people who leave their grocery cart parked between cars in the parking lot instead of putting in back in the dang cart rack!!!! WTH??? They never stay where people put them, they blow around either into other cars or into (otherwise) perfectly empty parking spots. Seriously? Are we such a lazy culture that we can’t walk the extra ten feet to return the cart? I know there are *some* situations that may justify this, but there aren’t really that many.
Which leads me to pet peeve number two: MASSIVE cars parked in COMPACT parking spots such as the ones in front of Trader Joe’s in Temecula. Your Escalade/Suburban/F-250 DOES NOT fit in a compact spot, try as you might. God bless ya for driving one, but park in a spot actually designed for a vehicle of that size. And if any of the carpool parents at my kid’s school are reading this: if you back into a parking spot, please make darn sure you are actually parked in ONE spot, not TWO because then many fewer people can actually park in that parking lot when you do that!
Ahhhh, my empress of the universe impulses are now satisfied. Thanks, Dharmagirl for the fun topic! We needed something light after all the small car vs. SUV drama.
p.s. I drive a small car and I only reproduced once. Now will someone please pin a rose on my nose?? Bwaaahaha!!
