Stupid Pet Peeves

cars with flags on them - today I saw one on the highway with such a huge flag on its roof, it looked like it needed to be raised and lowered with a pulley system

Can you a "known traveler number" so you're eligible for TSA Pre-check (or whatever it would be called where you live)?

Not at all familiar with those things here in NZ.. admittedly I'm not the most travelled person.. haha.. but it seems no matter who you are you still have to go through those checks...

Australia's even worse.. very strict whenever I have to go through Sydney...
 
OK, my new pet peeve....idiot parkers

1. Those who insist on backing in to parking places. It takes twice as long, they have to either go the wrong way or pull past the spot, swing wide and interfere with cars going the RIGHT way. And 95% of these idiots back in crooked, which sometimes means the parking spot next to them is rendered unusable.

2. Big-*** SUVs parking in compact spaces. C'mon, you idiots know you're parking insanely close to the car on your right. And I don't feel one bit guilty for kicking the hell out of your fender when I was forced to crawl in from my passenger side. You deserved the dent, *******. Find a bigger spot and walk a few more yards, you lazy SOB.

You could have worded this rant a whole lot better.

I think this would at minimum have to factor in who the foreign woman is trying to attract.

The question would be whether they are using make-up to attract anyone at all, as opposed to other reasons. It's our western view that associates make-up with sexual signaling.

Also, I thought about your prior question about a lips study and it turns out caucasians have the lowest upper:lower height ratio, so I think it's safe to say presenting fuller lips is cross cultural a bit. This may explain why some caucasian males have an Asian woman fetish (highest ratio and volume in both lips).

I have doubts about putting so much into an attribute.

The KTN is a god-send with airport security as stupid and intrusive as it is. Oh not to mention completely ineffective, like 96% ineffective according to homeland security. Security theater is all it is. It is such a load of crap and just another way to try to herd the sheeple.

So in 2015 they showed it was a joke, then with that feedback they revamped the process and got this:

And in 2017 it remains a joke. Seriously stupid.

Hate the TSA. Luckily my KTN has allowed me to get through most places very smoothly, and at times with things like a leatherman in my carry-on, since TSA security in general is a joke. I had a full bottle of water (*gasp* I know, right?) and they let me through. Once I had a bottle of shampoo that was bigger than 3 oz, and they let me through. I guess they only need to stop some of the people and make them throw away their stuff, right? That should be good enough. Waste of money and time for everyone.

This. Big truck parking in general is ****. They should be forced to take up their 3 spots as far away from the establishment as possible, the assholes. I pulled into a parking spot with my wife the other day, and we sat there chatting for a few minutes, long enough for a truck to pull in next to me so close I couldn't open my door at all, nearly hit my mirror. The guy got out, adjusted his aviators, and locked his truck as he walked like an ******* into the store, fully ignoring my honk and yelling out the window to move his truck. So I moved my car, to the other side as close to his driver door as I could get, and we waited until he left before we did, just to see him get pissed off he had to crawl in through the other door. It should be legal to shoot assholes like that.
 
The fascination guys have with owning a truck baffles me.

Way more expensive to buy. More expensive to insure. Way more expensive to fill with gas (or diesel, because real men have a turbo diesel). More expensive to change oil. More expensive to maintain. WAY Way more expensive to replace tires.

Now if you're pulling a camper or toy-hauler every other weekend, fine. But if it's your commuter vehicle and you justify it by saying that you have it in case you need to haul stuff... They rent trucks at U-Haul for less than $50/day. That's less than the difference in what you pay for gas in a month over what I pay for a car. But yeah, you're pretty ****ing manly with your big *** truck you can't figure out how to park right.
