    You know when a post starts like that, it will be worth the read, one way or the other.

    Not only true, but how about people who don't abbreviate the post they are quoting. 27 screens of "quoted" pix and a two word comment.

    People who come into the gun store where I work for no other purpose than to show off how much they know compared to us. Customers who think a single purchase qualifies them as "one of our best customers."

    Gun stores that don't have any good used guns for sale because the owner and workers immediately buy the good stuff for themselves. Gun store owners who only own their store to advance their own hobby and needs, and thus don't feel obligated to even show common decency to customers.

    People who don't know basic differences between words like there, their, and they're. And people who don't know basic grammar or spelling when talking on discussion boards.

    People who quote entire messages that take up half the page.

    People start out wanting to do shooting as a hobby and it ends up their hobby is actually buying and operating expensive tools. Doesn't make sense when you think about it.

    THIS. There is a gun store in my town that had literally 3 handguns and 12 rifles (I counted) on display when I walked in. When I asked what happend to their selection, the guy halfheartedly said he couldn't keep anything on the shelves, but acted like he didn't GAF. Meanwhile, less than half a mile away there is another gun store with reasonable prices and lots of quality firearms in stock.

    The "one of your best customers" thing really chaps my ass too- past purchases don't entitle a person to better treatment than the average customer (that said, I value customer service, but for ALL customers- I don't expect to be treated better than anyone else at the LGS where I have spent literally thousands of dollars, but their service is great which is why I spent there.)

    Also people who use the apostrophe to indicate a plural instead of using it correctly to indicate possessive. "Gun's for sale" = WRONG. "Guns for sale" = CORRECT.

    Sorry guys, I had to- this one really bothers me.

    Where the hell would you FIND 500,000 rounds of 22LR in one place?

    Finding a store that will sell you more than a few 50rd boxes is hard enough! LOL

    In summary, I do a lot of stuff that pisses me off, and pretty much everything I do is on another's pet peeve list.
    So, is life worth living today?

    That was epic.
