Your biggest passenger pet peeve?

Nobody hardly ever rides with me besides my wife and I have her trained really well. Pet peves that I've trained her on are



- Not bumping the sideskirts with her feet when getting in the car

- Touching the rubber seal next to the window to shut the door instead of the paint or glass

- Asking before changing anything on the radio

- Not commenting about how long it takes me to find a parking spot. I have a method...... Look for an end spot up front, if none is available, then I find an acceptable spot in the back of the lot.



A pet peeve that I can't break her of is when I ask her where she wants to eat she says "I don't care....wherever you want", an then says no to the place I choose.
 
1. The idiots that think the car door is a Bank vault door. Slam it shut and useing there whole hand leaving a giant hand print.



2. Playing with my emergence blinker button. Its in the center of the dash. Why my friends must press it like a 2 year old is beyond me.
 
haha These are all giving me a good laugh. My favorite would have to be the no farting rule, unless you are the driver! :lol



My pet peeves would have to be:



1. Slamming doors like others said

2. People wanting to feel my paint

3. People who feel they are welcomed to start playing with my XM radio

4. People who take it into their own hands to control the heat or air conditioning, people who roll down their window when the air is on

5. There is no smoking in my car what so ever...Even if you smell like smoke you better spray yourself with Febreeze before entering :)



oooh and there is no going on about how anal I am about my car and that it is a waste of time.



6. People who complain about having to walk far when in a parking lot...Will only purposely be made to walk further

7. People who try to open the door when it is locked...Wait until I put the car in park or turn the car off for the doors to open themselves - People who constantly try to open the door when it is locked from the outside. I will let your a** in when I decide you can be let in :D
 
-Getting hassled for parking far away to avoid door dings.



-When my gf or mother uses my car, and when opening, let the keys jingle against the paint.



-Using the door pillar (black paint), to shut the door. USE THE HANDLE!!

Dude it's not just your wife. I think it is just a difference between men and women.

Like if you are on a road trip with a bunch of guys and one of them wants to get something to eat he will simply say, "Hey, I am hungry pull over when you get a chance." A woman on the other hand when hungry will say, "Hey is anybody hungry?"

Oh man I have several.







3) People who constantly want to touch the paint. Do not touch the paint, lean on the truck, or touch the glass. Touch the door handle only. Is that so hard?



4) Passengers that biatch and complain about parking four or five rows away from some empty parking spaces because I don't want to squeeze betwee two other cars and risk getting dinged. Its an extra 50 feet, shut up about it already.



I have more but thats a good start

Yeah touching paint or worse, putting items on paint!!!! :wall



I park in no man's land also and am always getting **** for it, but I quickly bring up how many dings and scratches my friends/co-workers have on their new cars.
 
I agree, I missed that one. When the car was new, a few people ran their fingers over the paint, then wiped it off with their clothes! ughhh! I like showing my vehicle to other people, but when you have too many people, they just all want to touch it! :hairpull:

Slamming the doors gets to me too. I grease my hinges every year, so the doors open and close VERY easily. But people that have heavy doors or hinges with old rotten grease will always slam the doors.

this doesnt get to me as much but the opposite of closing......When they throw the door to open it and because they throw it to open it, it bounces back with a bad noise.......I HATE THAT!

What's worse is when someone flings the door open and WHAM! right into the other car or light pole or whatever. I just found my first serious ding on my rear passenger door. This thing is major league. Besides the round ding, the metal has a vertical crease. It's like how hard did this guy fling that door open to cause that????



My mom used to run her hand along the hood or whatever and every once in a while, she would knock her ring on the metal. Ooooh!
 
slamming the door for me too, my sister has a friend that doesn't seem to respect other peoples properties. I've had to drive her home a couple times and luckily it wasn't in my car it was in my parents'. but it bugs me to no end when she rides because she slams the door like it's made out of cast iron or something and we have japanese cars with lightweight doors.
 
Hmmm, i used to have a girlfriend notorious for slamming car doors, she wasnt mad or anything either, she just did it.



We were in the beginning stages of the relationship so i let it go for a while, but i would cringe as she gave me the smile and goodbye and proceed to fling the car door closed seemingly as hard as she could.



Other people, her friends/my friends would notice the door slams and feel the same way. She was an extremely attractive girl but not the brightest crayon in the box so she just brushed it off as a "whatever, its just a freeking car" type of deal. Ultimately after figuring out i just couldnt hold an intelligent conversation with her, ever, i made her break up with me, dumb as rocks was a polite way to describe the girl.



Kicker is we both drove the exact same year and model car, so i could only imagine how hurt her drivers door was.
 
I'm usually not too picky about stuff, but I hate it when people put their feet up on the dash. I just can't understand why people don't leave their feet on the floor, and need to put their feet on something that is definitely not designed for feet.
 
When people slam doors, *** people, just close the damn thing lol. Some make slam a door like their trying to throw it through the vehicle. My sister closed the door on her boyfriends new Grand Cherokee so hard in our driveway one day the friggen window dropped into the door, couple weeks later she did the same thing on our Lexus LX470 and guess where the window went :rofl
 
Well it seems like you guys covered pretty much everything that pisses me off too. I hate it when people put their feet up on the dashboard with their dirty shoes, greasy hair and fingers all up on the windows, slamming the door, fidgeting around constantly playing with their window, trying to play with my radio or touchscreen just after we had food somewhere (and i know their hands are still greasy), telling me how to drive (usually that ends quickly when I ride along with them the next time and point out every little error they make that could be a potential accident), getting in the car with me and talking on the phone for 20 minutes until we get to our destination and then they finally tell the person on the other end they need to go *** I'm not your taxi, my one friend who gets into arguments on the phone and starts yelling that really pisses me off and I don't tolerate it I pull over right away and suddenly he becomes the quietest f*ck ever apologizing for it and not talking for the rest of the ride. Sometimes I think we're a little bit too obsessive.
 
jdhutchin- when people put their legs/feet on the dash there is one easy/polite way to get them off.



Explain to them that if something were to happen, they would be eating their own knees and shins when their legs snap in half due to the air bag.
 
Seeing all of the people who hate the door slammers caused me to remember another horrible one, this hasn't happened to me in a while, but oh man when it does I feel like Shiva: Destroyer of Worlds.

When someone gets out of the car and doesn't close the door ENOUGH. When it only halfway latches and cannot be opened because the doors are already locked? So what do they do? Lean a hip into the door and give the car a little bump-n'-grind.

Meanwhile I am screaming that I will take care of it, fumbling for my keys, but no; to them it is so much simpler to rub dust, their rough pants, with a whole bunch of pressure into my paint.



Suprchargd reminded me of another one as well. When someone is in my car and their phone rings and not only do they answer it, but simultaneously reach over and turn down MY stereo without so much as making eye contact with me. I feel like saying, "Thanks a lot, I really wansn't digging that song or anything, I would much rather hear just one side of a conversation."



And everyone wonders why I drink so much.
