I hate that Arby's doesn't serve Coke and I have to drink that Pepsi swill if I want something with my roast beast.

Their onion rings are tasty, though.

Have you tried their gyros and the peach or blackberry ice tea? :drool:

Peeves don't make good pets.  They are indiscriminately bitey.  Anytime I think I've adopted a pet peeve, I imagine driving it out into the coutryside and abandoning it.

Homie'd-out shitboxes and the assholes who drive them.

On my way home, I saw some shitbox Chevrolet Cavalier with about 40 pounds of body kit and stickers driving like an asshole, swerving in and out of traffic.  It had decals on it advertising some bullshit "recording company", 'Murda 'n Fyre'.  Whatever, you faggot. 

Just my luck, he was on the same route I was.  I wish I was indiscriminately rich so I could just smash into these ****sticks and wreck their faggy little cars.

There is a great one (awful) that I see around here a lot. It is a rag top, and the rag top is all this fake Louis Vuitton. It looks like the classic Louis Viutton purses, but it is the rag top. It is terrible. And the inside is covered in all brown fur (I pulled next to him at a stop light). Of course he proceeded to make the car go up and down  or whatever it is they do with their shocks to make their cars move all wrong. Ok, we know that Louis Vuitton doesn't sell rag tops, so that is FAKE and the rest was trying so hard I felt sorry for him...Almost.

The other was this electric glitter green FORD Taurus that had the emblems changed out to a Mercedes. Ok, you ain't fooling anybody. That is a Taurus.  :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:

I suppose my pet peeve is.....the demise of Western Electric.....

For the younger folks, Western Electric was, for nearly eighty years, the manufacturing division of AT&T.  In short, they built telephones.......billions of telephones over eight decades, and EVERY ONE OF THEM was designed and manufactured so that virtually every person could carry on a conversation over their product, reliably and understandably.

Yeah, they were ofttimes clunky, ugly,  and not exactly state-of-the-art, but they worked well every damn time that you used one, and it was not uncommon to find one still in use that was over half a century old.

Today's telephones are garbage! 

I really don't care who makes them, in at least 75% of the phone conversations that I encounter, the instrument on the other end either garbles, overmodulates, undermodulates, distorts, attenuates, or otherwise turns normal speech into something that is barely intelligible.  It doesn't matter whether the phone is a landline or cellular, whoever is making them has no concept of what a phone is supposed to accomplish.

And don't get me started on VOIP.....
