Pet Peeves: Aka Things That Make You Go "Gah!"


Message added by Mod-Tigerkatze,

Your Pet Peeves are your Pet Peeves and you're welcome to express them here. However, that does not mean that you can use this topic to go after your fellow posters; being annoyed by something they say or do is not a Pet Peeve.

If there's something you need clarification on, please remember: it's always best to address a fellow poster directly; don't talk about what they said, talk to them. Politely, of course! Everyone is entitled to their opinion and should be treated with respect. (If need be, check out the how to have healthy debates guidelines for more).

While we're happy to grant the leniency that was requested about allowing discussions to go beyond Pet Peeves, please keep in mind that this is still the Pet Peeves topic. Non-pet peeves discussions should be kept brief, be related to a pet peeve and if a fellow poster suggests the discussion may be taken to Chit Chat or otherwise tries to course-correct the topic, we ask that you don't dismiss them. They may have a point.

Even in a neighborhood with garages attached to houses, there's hardly any curb space for company here. Many of our neighbors use their garages for storage (and every house in this community has a big basement 🤬). Their big kahuna SUV's are parked outside (God forbid at least one of them could be parked on the driveway). When we first moved here in 2000, it wasn't like this. At least the curb in front of our house is painted yellow so no one can park there. Sorry...just had to vent a bit 😉

We've got several houses in the neighbourhood that have turned their garages into outdoor family room/man cave type thing.  I'd understand this better if they didn't have huge basements.  I mean our winters are cold!

On the subject of parking on the street we have parking bans here that are in effect for the winter months. So no overnight parking.  It's interesting to see the creative ways people find parking on their property - god forbid they use their garages for what they were originally for!
