What's your pet peeve?

My new big pet peeve is OBX stickers on people's cars. I had a discussion about it on Facebook and jdlea had some good points, but I'm driving around and people actually have vanity plates with OBX in it (I've seen at least 6 just in my town, OBX4US, LUVOBX, etc.).

I'm like, "Does that make you better than normal people?"

I mean I've been to nice beaches before but I don't have Hawaii on my license plate.

Back in the 90's when the tourist started taking over the Nags Head area the locals used the OBX stickers to tell them apart from the tourist. Now the tourist have taken that over "OBX sticker" and you don't see the locals riding around with those stickers anymore. The funny part is that people who own property down there still want people to know they are "a local" so they still sport those stickers. The locals now suport tourism allot more because they realize it means big$$$$.

That's extremely interesting. I always wanted to know where it came from...

On a side note, I apologize to anyone who has this sticker just because the like it. :D

It's the people who get CUSTOM freaking license plates that deserve to be called the d-bags.

Man that was a gift.

Never heard it called that and I have lived in the area awhile. DMV to me is Dept. of Motor Vehicles. What you are refering to is Delmarva.

That is probably the older way of saying it. I'm younger generation and pretty much everybody I know my age calls it the DMV.

My new pet peeve:

People calling the District, Maryland and Virginia the DMV.

:lol: I'm sorry man. I've never heard of DelMarVa though, i've always known of it as the DMV.

I never liked the whole DMV thing weither but I've come to accept it. If you listen to 95.5 or 93.9 then you'll hear it about 500 times in 2 sentences so I feel like Ron Burgundy and I just say When in Rome.....

I'll tell you what my pet peeve is. When I get in the bathroom first and you still have to sit next to me and take your morning dook. WAIT LIKE I DID !!!! I mean come on,...I'm sitting there flushing like 40 times just so I can care about you every single time I have to fart or send a brown bomb to the ocean. F you guy next to me !

my man you know that a lot of us claim DC and the most appropriate way for it is that claim the DMV meaning the DC Metro area... ain't enough of DC area to really claim it especially as seeing where the stadium, etc, fans are

man we DMV.. most of us ain't in DC so if you wanna try to claim DC then go for it.. you gonna be lonely and plus the stadium ain't in DC anyways

over a decade late myman

for the longest time i had no idea what obx was, nor did i care, people sure love those dumb things though. Around my area you see lots of adk stickers, for the adirondacks.

ha ha i visit places so i should mark my vehicle as such!

I feel you. I'm from Landover near Seat Pleasant but let me be out of the state or the country and someone askes where I'm from, DC just rolls off the tongue. Then I can clarify with I'm not in DC but I live in such and such. Or I'll always use DC as the base point. That's just how it is. The reason I don't say Maryland is because people always assume that I'm from Baltimore, to which I always reply by pointing to my wife and saying, "She is, I'm not."

I'll tell you what a pet peeve of mine is. Bullet hole decals. WTF ???????

It's a car not a GI-Joe vehicle you dumb ass ! Does it make you cooler to feel like your car has been shot ? You'd go get it fixed wouldn't you ? You wouldn't see me with a dent decal would you ? NO !
