People that say "like" and "y'know" 4 times in every sentence. Limited vocabularies and the inability to form a coherent sentence. People who tailgate me, then pass me only to slow way down as they make or accept a cellphone call. Morons who plank it at every green light and then stand on the brakes at the next light. People who use "break" when they mean "brake" and vice-versa when typing. Anyone in an Escalade or H2/3. Idiots that try to cross three lanes of traffic to enter a service station that has another entrance on the other side of the light. Powerboaters that have no idea what boating etiquette is and the effects of their wake. RT

In summary..........my pet peeve is dealing with the average moron on a daily basis..........the stories are incessant.

In fact, it's become beyond a pet peeve..........it's a partial obsession now. I really have the desire to pound a couple of them into the pavement.

A person asks a question; you answer the question. The person then goes on to present a verbal flow chart of the impact of possible answers to the question, as if an answer is still outstanding. It's not; I've already answered the question, you halfwitted, self-absorbed twit.

That is not accurate. I would encourage you to tour a brewery. I can't speak to Miller, but I have spent a lot of time at the AB brewery in Williamsburg, VA, that is near my summer home and the beer is made just like it is at the Heineken/Amstel brewery in Amsterdam, the Maisel brewery in Germany and the myriad of micros I have toured in Belgium, the Czech Republic and the US. I also represent a distributor and hold subscriptions in several bars and restaurants and know the process of beer delivery, consumption and embezzlement.

Not trying to pick a fight--just saying your bar owner is giving you bad info--it is a very controlled process--dead taste not withstanding.

Chatty motherfricking cashiers, who want to talk to the customer in front of you on important issues of the day, such as how fat Brooke Hogan looked in last week's edition of the National Enquirer.

Here's my shopping modus operandi:

1. I know what I want before I enter the store.

2. I usually know where the item is within the store. If I don't, I will break down and ask for help. If I do know, I don't want some pimply sales clerk trying to crawl up my ass to "help" me.

3. No thank you, I don't want to buy a fricking extended warranty on a $29 clock radio. Furthermore, when I tell the cashier that I don't want to buy a fricking extended warranty on a $29 clock radio, I expect the cashier to STFU, take my money, put my s*it in a plastic bag, and allow me to leave. Apparently this is an unrealistic expectation on my part; I once bought a laptop at Best Buy, and had to tell the clerk three times that I didn't want to buy the $200 extended warranty. He simply would not shut up. I don't even want to think about how high my blood pressure had jacked at that moment. The fact that he was half my size may have saved him from a wired jaw.

On small purchases such as clothing and groceries, you really should consider a personal shopper at the (at least here) 8% rate of purchase, PaulC

All I can say is thank God for online shopping....

I can't do that, but tipping a guy on a bicycle 8% to go to the grocery store, bring home the groceries, put them away, and not having to deal with the store or tipping the bagboy is a win-win.

........stop it.......my incisions hurt..........

People who needlessly hit the brakes on the highway
People who needlessly hit the brakes going downhill
People who are on the brakes from the top of the hill all the way to the bottom of the hill
People who hit the brakes going up hill.

People who begin every sentence with "um."

The factory installed 58 mph governors after the sun goes down.........I've seen it on quite a few $hitboxes as well.

Must be some fine circuitry that knows when darkness falls and limits the vehicle to 58 mph.

What's even more interesting is that the speedometer still reads 75mph.......because all of them are still in the left lane.

Left lane speed: 58 mph
Center lane speed: 58 mph

Capability of passing in the far right lane (although I hate it): Priceless

I've been reading that the rice syrup content is between 30% on up to 60% for the 'light'. Having tasted it, it sounds about right. Heineken does it, too.
