I was dining at a restaurant in the area last night, one that allows limited seating, when the guy at the nearest table to me spent 5 minutes blowing his nose. It was pretty disgusting, while trying to eat.
I think he should have excused himself and went to the bathroom.
Anyone have any pet peeves?
@chaney3 saidDo you know if he sinus issues or was it a cold?

I would have asked for sure if it had been me especially if it was an open area.
Luckily the place I go to have the plastic dividers, and everyone has to give their phone number name and time they were there in case any incidents of the virus are reported. Some don't like it, but myself and better half think it is great.
My personal Pet Peeve would be whistlers especially when they can't whistle, I always say something about it to the person. Usually with a good response.

Pet peeves include:
1. Herbal teas
2. People who have their phones on loudspeaker
3. Men in sandals
4. Seagulls
People with their mobiles in their hands when driving.
The other day, on a narrow winding lane with high hedges and no pavement, this guy comes round the bend engrossed in his phone. Half in our lane so head on collision inevitable. I brake hard. He decides to look up and then swerves back into his lane just in time.
Makes me think near death experiences would be a good thread. Had one of my daughters in the car. Livid. I may even buy a dashcam.
I get irritated by people who insist on describing the strength of an alcoholic beverage in terms of "percent proof". "It's a 120% proof " does my head in !
It's either "Proof" which goes up to 180, or percent by volume which can never exceed 100%, which of course would be pure alcohol.
So I'm sipping at a small Kraken rum, which is 40% by volume. Your health :-)
@relentless-red saidWOW....That could have been very bad!

It is against the law here to use your phone while driving or texting either. Big fines have been given out or considered big to the average person I should say.
The fine for using a mobile phone or texting while operating vehicle is $237.50 in Nova Scotia with fines for second and third offences at $352.50 and $582.50, respectively. Distracted driving happens when a driver's attention is diverted because they are focused on something non-driving related Feb. 11, 2020
Personally I think they should be even higher!

@chaney3 saidBarking is the way dogs communicate. A dog owner should know this or maybe they should have gotten a turtle as a pet.
I must add here:
Barking dogs.....the ones who bark nonstop in their yard, because the dog owner seems oblivious to the fact that it could be terribly annoying to all the neighbors.
I get angry to the highest level.

There are some really dumb dog owners on this planet.
@great-big-stees saidMost dog owners are stupid, and spend ZERO time training the dog to fit into society. They just merely fell in love with a puppy.
