It's not just the 41. There is a poster who contributes absolutely nothing to the knowledge base of the forums, but thinks he is oh so clever in posting fancily worded negative comments. Notably, he keeps clear of the 41 because he knows the guys here would tear him to pieces...

Yeah, but it is a do-as-I-say, not-as-I-do world.

I'm also guilty a charged.

There was a Blair Witch Two? My pet peeve are homonyms.

people who think having thousands of posts = credibility

When I had less than 100 posts, I had zero forum cred. I have learned much in here since 2005. Yes, thousands of posts, for the most part, does earn you forum cred.

What I hate is starting hill interval training in winter for the next season and forgetting I am not nearly as fit as I was the end of last season.

Businesses who book appointments they can't keep.

Low fat eggnog.

"When I had less than 100 posts, I had zero forum cred. I have learned much in here since 2005. Yes, thousands of posts, for the most part, does earn you forum cred."

Ok, but that doesn't disqualify it as a pet peeve... I am assuming.

Hmm, seven posts, mostly participating in the flat-bar road bike thread, and one of your first posts was saying how much info there is on these forums, and you say this?

OOOOOKaaaaaaaay.

Oh and yes, guilty as charged. Again. :D

People who think that 6/2(1+3)=1 and will fight about it on the internet even though many people are proving them wrong.

Also, when you order parts, wait two months, get told that they'll be in today, and check on the order and see that it hasn't even been placed yet. WTF!

I only have one: the phrase "Pet Peeve" itself.

Makes my skin crawl.


Anyway, to stay on topic:
Ordering from LBSs that wait a month to finally order your rim (you paid for in advance) because they were waiting to get a larger order in, to save on shipping.

You need to find a new lbs.

Loudmouth schnooks that aren't me.

Shopping websites that have a default of 16 (or so) items per page. I don't have dial-up, jackasses - show me 100 at a time, thanks.


(This is the First World Problems thread, right?)

Ugly and oversized garbage containers in our parks and open spaces. Recycling is a good thing, but being used as an excuse to take over the landscape, e.g:

"Friends" who wait on me at the stop sign for 5minutes because I'm freaking dead and slow only to say "ready to go?" As soon as I get to the freaking stop sign!

The sme "friend" who gets to the top of the climb and then turns around, comes back down and re climb with me only to make motorcycle sounds beside me.

Kills me! He's a really great guy but dang!

I LOVE THOSE!!!! nothing better then having a pitt chase you then hit the end of his leash. Makes me chuckle every time

New Years resolutionites (resolutionaries?) at my local "Y."

The place is too crowded to go for the first few weeks of the year. It usually settles back down to normal sometime in February.

I agree, wholeheartedly! I can't wait until the 15th when I can stop going again. :D

"Campa" and "Campag"

The only acceptable nickname for Campagnolo is "Campy." Also, people who pronounce a very English 'G' in Campagnolo (which "Campag" makes you think is supposed to be there).

January is my pet peeve. Way too crowded at the gym and 12-step meetings.

Hangovers. uhg..:(
