    I've got lots-one being "coolspeak"-I been running a BSA on the custom Remmy 700-a factory 700 in .300 Roy that I slapped in a Boyd's stock but decided to take the Bushy off my shotty that I keep in the house for social work. Got a sweet Winny in 6.5 manbun and figure on tossing a Leupy on it. Another peeve is people whom when given a smidgen of imaginary authority refer to other individuals as "peoples". Another-making up excuses when trying to sell something-gonna sell this nice Raven to free up some room in the safe/ found this gun buried in the back of my safe(behind the Raven and Maverick) that I'd forgotten about so gonna throw it out there,don't really want to sell{but putting in classifieds anyway...}

    There’s a law against that. Big production when it passed. Near zero enforcement. Politics at its best.
    Yes, hardly enforced but seen often.

    The other one is using the "left turn lane" as a merge lane. For God's sakes, make your left turn when it's clear to do so! Don't drive on down in the left turn lane with your right turn signal on forcing your way in. I never budge or move over for those drivers.

    Semi-related, people that can't wait that extra second or two to turn into the right hand lane when I'm in the left hand lane (on a two lane each way road). I'm never sure if they're really going to turn into the right lane or come on over right in front of me.

    Not to mention the fact that excessive talking is almost always accompanied by negligence with the firearm. The shooter turns to respond and ends up sweeping the entire line.

    My biggest range peeve (that’s not safety related) is restrictions on steel and aluminum cased ammo. I rarely purchase anything but brass, but I should have the option. Don’t restrict my options because you don’t feel like sorting the casings. Just be appreciative of the fact that I patronize your establishment and allow you to profit off my brass.

    A more minor annoyance is getting stuck in a lane next to someone shooting a Glock. You’re pretty much guaranteed to get showered with casings. I can’t say too much because sometimes I’m that guy, but it’s still annoying.
    The one indoor range I go to doesn't mind. Brass or Aluminum. They give me 5 gallon buckets for free. Just for the asking. I don't mind sorting. And no...its my little secret... :):

    That's dangerously close to "grammar nazi" territory.

    Mine is people who don't know how to use the language and then complain when their called on it.
    Mine is people who complain that they're misunderstood and then do nothing to address the issue. I guess EVERYONE ELSE is supposed to tackle the issue from their end

    Referring to any and all Kalashnikov variants as an "AK-47."
    Oh, come on!

    Are you claiming that you use Tread MXL 400 or FN-15 or LAR-15M X1 when talking about ARs?

    If not, why would you expect anyone to be able or want to specifically identify any and all obscure combloc AK clones or the many domestic ones

    No one (else) cares

    Exactly...you always have to be sooo careful and drive defensively! How about the ones that blow by you in the left lane then almost cut you off by pulling right in front of you go get in the right lane so they can quickly turn right! You mean you couldn't wait 2 seconds to pull in BEHIND me to turn right?! I've had that happen numerous times but the worst is when puling a trailer! There's no way I can stop that quickly pulling a heavy load. I see that happen all the time to big rig drivers...and they show AMAZING restraint; don't know how they deal with that!

    Wait, this is "Pet" peeves. Like when my dog eats his poop. I buy him top of the line dog food from vet and he is out chomping on tootsie rolls in the yard.

    I’m going to assume you haven’t driven in Lebanon much.

    I think a lot of trouble on the roads are from mixing defensive and aggressive and overly-aggressive types.

    Thanks for not caring enough to stomp on my half-a-week-old post about MY pet peeves :rolleyes: I'm a fan of history and the AK-47 has a special, albeit especially limited place in it. Yeah, it's annoying as hell (to me) when people call a WASR an AK-47.

    ARs are even more boring (to me) than replying to you, so no I don't refer to stuff as bike treads or LARPing or whatever. I also don't call them all M16s.

    Maybe he is just making sure he gets ALL the nutrients out of that great food.
