Hey, the advertising for Meguiars cancels out the evils of General Motors.

Do not write on my windows when they are foggy. If I see a Hi Jeff in the morning on my window I have to buy cleaner at the store and wipe it out before I can get to work. Now I carry a pump bottle of glass cleaner and the morning paper with me just in case.

Touch my radio, you get berated...
A/C and you get a lecture on gas mileage and my personal comfort level
Play with the already defunct locks and you won't like me....
Touch the seats with your cigarette and you are walking (if you are still breathing)

Oh and for the love of god do not move my seat for anything and I mean anything. It is exactly where it should be.

In September I'm a dead man, my soon to be wife is a post grad psych. Yep, I get to live with a woman who charges to deal with people's very same nuances as we all live with daily.

 

Ok, I can admit it now. I do this too. When done waxing or cleaning I will clean the bottle I use. If it is say NXT I will polish the bottle to get it all shiney.
Also, only shut the doors by the lock on the inside or the very top edge from the outside so as to not leave a smudge.
And of course, nothing goes on the dash.

Sled...

 

Me too, do not touch the door when closing it. I use the inside arm rest to close the door as to not get prints on the door. Nice to see I'm normal.......

 

Boy, reading these posts gave me a much needed laugh! It's nice to see that everyone cares so much about their trucks and keeping them looking nice. In a way, I guess it's our version of therapy. We're a unique group!

 

While driving in a very heavy downpour tonight to my wife's and my every Sunday night's margarita at our local Chilis I thought of one that fits me well. I usually park at the very far edge of the parking lot taking two spots. Tonight that spot was taken by someone else driving a beater. I mean old 84-85 chebby with worn out everything. If only I'd have had a icepick. Luckily nobody dinged my truck in a regular spot. Believe me I checked with my 6 D cell maglite that always is in my vehicle.

Last but not least, speed dial pointing to max on George Bush Turnpike.

oh gawd I hate that too.

People that leave the seatbelt all bunched up and not retrated.

But whats worse is they smack the window, scratching the tint, when they take the belt off.

 

I have many but my most ****, according to my wife and others, is the picture of the smoking cigarette on the cigarette lighter must be perfectly straight. It cannot be upside down or leaning either way. What makes it even worse is that I don't smoke and never even use the lighter but it somehow is always getting messed up. I think my wife sneaks out there at night and messes it up!

Gary, I'll remember that next time you bring your truck in...




Oh yeah, and mine? After washing my truck, I'm very particular about opening and closing the door...it should be done only by grabbing on or pushing on the door handle itself, as to not leave fingerprints on the body, or closing the door by grabbing the armrest from the inside, swinging it closed before my arm gets smashed in the door. :o

 

WOW ..You all make me feel soo much better...I have to agree with most posted..I definately have a bit of a paranoia about my neighbors..I am detailing one of mine or another family members vehicle EVERY weekend..Unless I'm out doing something with the local car club..

 

Don't feel bad. My neighbor's tell me all the time "I believe you missed a spot there joe." I play along and say... "Where?" And they laugh at me. And everytime...without fail...as I'm cleaning my truck, people go by my house and rev the heck out of their engines. I haven't figured that one out yet.

 

I also hate "when you're done, wash mine too"


what? how about you come over and wash my bloody dishes or do my laundry. What an absolutely stupid thing to say to someone washing/waxing their ride.

 

I'll second that motion!

My Fiance gets mad at me because everytime we have to got to Wallyhell I make her walk all the way from the back of the parking lot to the store, rain or shine.

May have already been mentioned but....if front and back windows are rolled down, they HAVE TO line up perfectly. If the back has 5 inches showing so must the front!

 

Once daily I take out my front floor mats and shake out any dirt or anything I can see. If I see any thing on my black leather seats I wipe off immediately. I COULD go on and on.
