PTSD inducing pet peeve... A fellow pipe smoker, smoking his pipe while pumping gas. I saw it! Let's just say I decided NOT to fill up that day.

I thought this was the thread to be an asshole in.
Hey, you guys talking about the wind, do you have one of these?
I smoke outside and if you can get it lit, one of these gadgets will make the rest of the smoke a lot easier than otherwise.

The fact that I bought my favorite pipe first when I didn’t know what I was doing and so I have an ungodly amount of rim char that looks terrible on it.
That's why I avoid looking at myself in the mirror!
Yes, but my experience is that they only work well in light-moderate wind.
Er, no, I actually wish I were a churchwarden-smoking German Shepherd.
But I have to be content with being a smoking, intellectual Wolf:
Heh, even some pipe smokers assume that. I got very flustered here once after someone called me a nicotine addict in denial. Yeah, that's another pet peeve of mine, alright.
Agreed, and it's pretty much happening all across all arenas of human interaction. "My way or the highway" is being rationalized as the path to "freedom" in many different ways.
When I check my lighter before leaving the house, it lights, but when I'm out and try to use it, there's no fuel.

But that is probably related to my weariness over the sheer amount of complaining in which people are indulging, about which they will actually not address fixing anything.
Here's a saying that many here will recognize. A minute on the problem and two minutes on the solution.

Echoing what seldom said, they are useless in a wind over about 12 knots.
My pet peeve is a thread that is started and goes on and on about what someone doesn't like.
I've been working on film sets for 20 years (as an AD, not a DoP) and I'm the only one I've ever seen break out a pipe. Not that I'd mind, I would be more than happy to take a pipe break with the Camera Department. The Art Department smokes pipes... but they prefer the 420 blends.
Developed a new peeve last night. Drunk people walking up to me in public and snatching my pipe from my hand and puffing on it as they ask if they can try it, then passing it around like it's the devil's lettuce. I wouldn't normally let anyone snatch my pipe, but it was a beautiful disaster of a woman, and I didn't mind so much until a guy that she introduced to me as her husband walked out of the bar and she handed it to him, who then passed it around to his buddies who proceeded to tell me that it "tastes like all other pipe tobacco". The only redeeming moment was watching two of the guys inhale huge puffs and then turn a nice shade of chartreuse ??!

My piping pet peeve is when people complain about threads that no one is forcing them to participate in... The thread was started under the assumption that we grumpy old codgers love to complain. Apparently we love it so much we even complain about complaining ?

I salute your even temper, i dont think i would have handled that as well as you did.
Long threads about pet peeves are very therapeutic - like hanging out in room full nicotine addicted Sigmund Freuds. No doubt he would suggest PAD as some form of penis envy! 
only beautiful woman have done that to me and man they do not like it when you tell them off. Some people don't get told off enough and we all pay for it!
