When a gas station slows a pump down too early.

When I put $20 on pump 3, you don't need to start slowing the pump down when it hits $19.30. I am fully capable of stopping the pump in time if you slow it down at $19.90. Are you trying to make me impatient enough to just quit and you'll make a whopping 30 extra cents?

I am SO with you on this one! It is incredibly annoying and seems distrustful.

I used to work at a gas station, and the cashier doesn't actually slow down the pump. Most stations have a sort of timer or other thing to sense when it's getting close, to slow it down. It's usually about 50-70 cents before you hit the limit.

Thanks to a recent torrent of spam, I’ve had to disable comments for a while. I’ve now removed the ability to put links in the comments. Email me if you want to put something in, such as five links to knock-off handbag sites, and I’ll happily oblige.

I’ve added two features to the sidebar: Highest Rating and Hotly Debated. They will be updated daily. To my surprise, the ketchup-in-fridge peeve seemed to really incite some anger — it’s clearly a complex situation that affects us all.

It should be noted that the star ratings indicate how much you agree with, or appreciate, the peeve, not how you feel when it happens.

I will be adding a Paragon Peeves section as well, for my and my friends’ personal favorites.

Please enjoy, and contact me if you have any new feature ideas.
