:iagree: and in general, people in a hurry to get in front of you, but not in a hurry once they're in front of you :banghead:
I'll also add the ones who, for some reason, decide to speed up when you pass them. Camp in the woods, not the left lane johnnie...

Yeah, of late, it's quite the fashionable thing for young good looking guys to sport stubble, but old guys like Harvey Windbag, the movie mogul pervert, ugh...equally dorky is middle age guys, sporting pony tails, though this look is waning...
:iagree: also middle age and older guys who think a Corvette makes them the bee's knees.
Oh man, they are the worst! Not much is sadder than some guy in his late 50's rolling around in a 'vette trying his hardest to look 'cool' while wearing some clothing from Ed Hardy / Tap Out / Affliction, jamming out to Nickelback / Linkin Park / some other 'teen angst' band.

I guess I never would have thought of correcting my drill sargeants when they called them clips. They might be wrong but who was I to correct them when they told me that my M16 was not a gun.
I try not to correct people about the mag / clip thing, but I do judge them for it... :lol:

Here's some of my "things and sayings that annoy":


Since I prefer accurate terms to approximate terms, I dislike it when people call revolvers "pistols",
or the old "clip" vs. magazine thing.


Over and out for now.

SIA

Flintlocks and revolvers were "pistols" long before semi-autos were invented.
Good read on this exact subject:

https://www.thoughtco.com/definition-of-pistol-1927171

Revolvers, on the other hand, are not pistols, because a revolver contains a cylinder that's separate from the barrel and which contains multiple chambers that rotate around to align the cartridge with the barrel as the gun is fired.

Texas Roadhouse isn't exactly the paragon of fine dining.... :lol:
