So your pet peeve is that you need to borrow something from a friend and it’s not up to standards?Mine is borrowing the trailer to move a lathe or mill and the lights don't work and the tags are expired from 9 years ago. Guy hauls wood with it at least a couple times a month, so it's not like it's been sitting in his back yard for 9 years.
Driving along in the proper lane keeping a safe distance between me and the guy in front of me to allow for braking and reaction time and someone decides they need to jam their car into that space after clearing my front bumper by 9 inches. Usually in a no passing zone, no pass because a crossroad is an eighth of a mile ahead. Usually they hit their brakes and turn, saving at least 2 seconds travel time over staying behind me and turning.
Idiots driving brand new cars cutting me off in traffic or otherwise trying to cause a wreck and I slam the brakes on, narrowly avoiding an accident. Not really peeved at them, at myself for reacting on instinct to avoid the accident that would have had their insurance pay to replace my crappy $600 car with a newer model.
People who get peeved when someone says "clip". I have an almost complete collection of American Rifleman magazines from the late 1920s up to the mid-1980s. The early issues featured the likes of Elmer Kieth, Townsend Whelen, Julian Hatcher, etc. Some of you young whipper snappers may not know the names, but us old farts do. In articles as well as answers to tech questions and the like, all those greats used the term clip to refer to a detachable box magazine the vast majority of the time. As did the other lesser known writers. They knew what they were referring to as did everyone else. As do the peeved folks, otherwise they wouldn't be peeved. It wasn't until well into the 70s or 80s before "magazine" came into common use in the Rifleman.
People who think every gun is a "Glock Fohtay". "Check out my Glock Fohtay" usually precedes the presentation of anything from a Lorcin .380 to a Raven .25, but hardly ever a .40 caliber Glock.
People who think an open tool box is an invitation to borrow tools. I don't mind people borrowing my tools as long as 1: they tell me they are borrowing them so I know who to go to when I need them back. And 2: They don't leave them lying on the ground where they used them instead of returning them. Boss' Grandsons have been "temps" to help around the shop last few weeks, most of their time is spent polishing and swapping shiny parts on a couple Harley's grandpa bought them. I am constantly reaching for a tool and grabbing air as the slot it lives in is empty. Of course they haven't seen them, and on the rare occasion they do return tools it's to the nearest toolbox to where they were working, not the one they took it from.
That's all you got out of that wall of text? But yeah, I agree about that point. I wouldn't borrow someone's trailer that wasn't road-legal. And utility trailer tags are cheap.So your pet peeve is that you need to borrow something from a friend and it’s not up to standards?
Maybe offer to pay for the tags for him, since you get use out of it too.

Dude, I've met you. You're way too young to be using the emoji.That’s what stood out.

Indeed. Waving single digits these days may allow you to test your insurance company and your body armor.But only when they use all of their fingers.
