[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by robmik</i> <br /><br />Too many "peeves" to designate any as "Pet "....since "Pet" denotes something unique, or at least rather outstanding. <br /> <br />Peeves..in no particular order... <br />-The <b>cost</b> direction the hobby has taken.[V] <br />-<b>Evangelical </b>rivet counters[:o)]...enjoy whatever you prefer...just don't PREACH to everyone else...(I don't like Jerry Falwell, either). <br />-<b>Evangelical </b>DCC'ers[xx(]...same as above, so, STOP with the preaching already.....(I don't like Jimmy Swaggert, either). <br />-Ebay whiners.....has any of these folks ever been to a real, live auction ? <b>Everybody </b>, except for one person, actually <b>loses out </b> on what they want, to the final bidder. Get over it, or don't patronize auctions at all.[V] <br />-<b>Idiot</b> parents at train shows...[B)]and there are more and more of these every year....and the rotten little ankle-biters they have spawned. <br />-Folks who post <b>gigantic</b> signature-pictures on these threads, like this one, ruining the readability of the thread for everyone else.[:(] <br />-Retailers who take us for <b>granted</b>, even when we have been loyal and regular customers.[:p] <br />-Posters who just <b>HAVE</b> to answer forum questions incorrectly, with either zero knowledge of the subject, or with neither patience, nor ability to read the question correctly.[:0] <br />-Threads and posts generated for the sole purpose of running up post-counts..the "Star Search" crowd.[:o)] <br /> <br />Anyway, my pet peeves don't include those unfortunates who like to ask about "whether I still play with toy trains"...especially in front of others. My response is "Yes I still do....do you still subscribe to Hustler ?"...or "Do you still take medication as part of that spousal abuse program you were in ?"...this goes for anyone...in the house or out, whether friend, relative, whoever. <br />regards; <br />Mike[;)][:D] <br />[/quote] <br /> <br /> <br />ROBMIK, Chill out man, you're going to have a heart attack and deprive everyone here of your vast insight on the world. You really don't want to do that, do you? <br /> <br />My pet peeves, rivit counters and my D@%& hemroids, they're both in about the same league. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />ROBNI
