Annoying.

    Also annoying that they just bomb and cut the shit out of them, knocking all the snow off and exposing a ton of rocks. No actual ski packing, boot packing, or anything to try and keep some snow around. ARG!

    People rocketing down cat tracks like idiots weaving through tiny kids.

    I really don't think this is a get off my lawn moment. Maybe I'm fooling myself. Anyway, on the return cat track at Jane this weekend that connects Pano lift to MJ base, there's a ton of people heading down at end of day. Tons and tons of little kids, like 3 years old to 8 years old little. Total self-involved asshats flying down the run weaving in and out of people, ripping right next to these little kids, racing. I don't want to go slow on a track either, but good lord, you are putting kids in danger. Stay under control. One dude squeezed between a sign and a 3 year old with about 6" (literally) to spare.

    Pissed me off. Pissed me off before I had kids, pissed me off when my kids were little, and pisses me off now that they're older. My kids have gotten many an earful from me about keeping the people around them safe.

    Fool around, have fun, go faster than traffic, whatever, but racing each other is a line too far.

    On a traverse the other day I come up on some dude just camped out in the middle. It’s a pow day so the traverse is 2 skis wide. Dude in front of me goes around him, ducking a rope in the process.

    Dickhead stopped in the traverse feels the need to holler at him for ducking the rope. Rope ducker fires back with, “then get the fuck outta the way!”

    I debated staying to see if a fight ensued but I slipped by as they were verbally accosting each other.

    Slightly annoying, yet amusing. Always enjoying seeing a ski resort altercation go down.

    Online product reviews. So many are woefully inadequate. Why even bother if you're not going to give a detailed description/assessment of the product you purchased and how you did or didn't use it esp. if there are multiple options?

    Same for recipe reviews. 90% of them are along the lines of, "looks great, can't wait to try".

    Either that or, “great pizza recipe! I swapped out the cheese for lettuce, the dough for cucumbers and the sauce for ranch dressing”

    Restaurant reviews that include a exhaustive description of how they ended up at the place.

    People post up on bike forums asking for suggestions on this or that. The most common response: "I use ___ and I love it!!!" Super useful response!

    FKNA my local news is doing a story on "how to clean out your linen closet." Really? I'm thinking if you need to be told how to do that you've got bigger problems that should be addressed first. Christo!

    Then you probably aren't a fan of this lady, who seems to be getting a lot of attention at the moment.

    The first thing I do when I pull into a gas station is pop the hood so I can check my oil (20 yr old Toyota)

    Most often I forget to check the oil and drive off with the hood unlatched. It's not noticable till I hit highway speeds and the hood becomes an airfoil and there's nowhere to pull over to close it. Then I forget to latch it when I reach my destination and the process repeats.

    I had an 1987 Subaru with a shitty hood latch. I forgot to close it all the way after an oil change; a few days later the hood blew open at 70mph, wrapping up and over the car and around the windshield. I had to peer through a tiny gap underneath so I could get off the freeway and into the center median, in heavy traffic. Scared the fuck out of me. Now I am extra careful to make sure things are latched.

    I always got a chuckle at the regulations not requiring a hood, but if you have one, a secondary latching mechanism was mandatory. Crazy that you had a double failure!

    I think you need to cut a hole in your hood so you can just reach in and check it.

    It's a Toyota. I could probably get away with never checking it. Drain and fill annually.

    Shit that annoys you

    Tales of woe that start like this (from our national news outlet - bet you can’t guess which way they lean):

    The night Jérôme Huard found out he had lost several thousand dollars he had entrusted to a company claiming to be an online investment firm, he was so depressed he locked himself in his room, turned off the lights and tried to sleep.

    "I can tell you, it was a hard night," said Huard...

    So depressed you went to sleep, you say?
    "...if you're not doing a double flip cork something, skiing spines in Haines, or doing double flip cork somethings off spines in Haines, you're pretty much just gaping."
