Two that come to mind.
Plastic caps on cardboard dairy containers. Why? Makes recycling confusing.
Wee wee pads under meat products on styrofoam containers. Which recycle bin for those nasty things? _________________ "Albatross"! |

I agree... are we supposed to carve the plastic outta the cardboard?
Quit eating meat a couple years ago , so I don’t have to get into those blood pads. I recycle the best I can... but some packaging makes it difficult. |

People whining about the demise of plastic straws and how bad paper ones are. I'm not sure about others but I believe I learned to drink from the rim of a cup sometime around the age of one year old... |

We used to have a no holes barred Rants and Raves forum where anything went wit h the exception of threats of physical violence. Even "mother" jokes were OK.
But it was shut down because it became a sewer. _________________ Glenn

The only people who should even say “pet peeve” are spinster librarians and momma’s boys. Let this thread die. |

No, I think it was because you became unhinged & were calling everybody names. _________________ Everybody born before 1975 has a story, good, bad, or indifferent, about a VW.

being 'hinged' is over rated honestly ,if i was ten years younger i might care. these days a good nights sleep and a good steak are more interesting to me than opinions are. i got mine they got theirs , theyre all the same at the end of the day. besides im GOOD at calling people names _________________ '88Doka JX td

right now my rage is focused on the oil drain plug from a 2016 jeep renegade.
ive gotten bolts off that had been frozen for 50 years , ive sheared the heads off of bolts with a wrench and only my hands, ive gotten the engine bolts to separate from a muddy rusted citroen even! ive broken bolts and extracted them, ive coaxed old shit into behaving, but i have NEVER done to a bolt what was done to this pristine oil drain plug nut. i was like an animal biting on it and gnawing it. not one thing broke that effer free. no rust, it even had a rubber gasket beneath, what mad man tightened an oil drain plug that tight? and why? *&%$@&#%$#
i resorted ( out of pure rage) vice grips to finally kill it. my air impact just fried it, the breaker bar before that spun the 13mm socket on the head, the gentle tap with a huge hammer on the side of a tight box wrench , not one thing worked. peeved. _________________ '88Doka JX td

You are trying the wrong tools, the "search" tool is mighty handy sometimes
