For example, my biggest pet peeve (I think I've officially decided) is when someone endangers me or others on the road by doing something ridiculous -- like speeding up the right lane and then jumping back into the left lane when a group of people are slowly passing a semi or some other slower-than-average vehicle. Usually, the people in the left lane get angry about this, and scrinch up so close to each other's asses that there is no space to get over.
Sooo, let's say the car that's just now pulling up next to the object being passed almost gets hit during the fight between the jerk and the car directly behind her who has already performed a more than adequate scrinching. What should she do? Slow down so it takes forever for the jerk to get past the semi, maybe? Flip him off when he starts hand gesturing wildly and shouting what appear to be juicy curses?
Just so he understands, mind you! I did that for his learning benefit. Mostly.
I have to admit that I feel pretty pleased with myself right now. I'm such a jerk.

And I think slowing down (for his benefit of course) was a brilliant way to handle it. You're a terrific jerk
Also, I asked Santa for one of these, but he fears for my safety so I'm prolly not getting it. Punk.

When someone pet peeves you, do you do anything about it? (Includes NSSP story!)

Nothing really comes to mind as far something like this goes...

I hate it when people use nouns or phrases as a verb (e.g., "pet peeve" as a verb).

You might want to block me then. Your life will be much more comfortable.

Comfortable, perhaps, but lacking a certain je ne sais quoi. *NM*

I don't think that qualifies as a pet peeve.

Did you remember to pump your break often but unpredictably? 'Cos that's the best part.
