Sometimes I wonder if we will ever - ever - start operating an efficient ticket office. When we call, we get a recording, and then when we punch one to reach the ticket office, we are blasted with loud recordings of past plays being described. After a couple of minutes of that, a phone rings, and we get another recording, asking us to leave a name and number for them to call back! And of course when they do get around to calling us back, we will be out or busy.
Do we want to sell tickets - or not? Just answer the darn phone! Take care of business!
They’re vs. Their vs. There
You’re vs. Your
Loose vs. Lose
Coogs vs. Cougs
Irregardless
I am almost getting used to those but the one that has climbed closer to the top is when recruits say “I just received my 100th (any number will do except 1st) offer from UH”. In my head I always jokingly think: “why did UH offer him / her 100 times? UH must really like him/her”
But that will never top my Top Pet Peeve: drivers who think they are special and can:
wait until 100 ft before their exit before forcing their way into the line of traffic waiting
park in the fire lane in front of the grocery store because someone is just running into the store for a couple of things (that’s about half the people in the parking lot)
text and/or hold their phone for a phone call while driving 20 mph slower than when they are not.
Or, sorry, was this supposed to be only about UH football? my bad…
I hate it when I’m running at the track and EVERYONE is running in one/the same direction but there is always some @$$ hat who runs in the opposite direction. Follow the herd u individual douche!
I get you on this. Found out that it’s more of a relationship building thing with the school. Kid feels good that he got another offer, coach can promote that he has a kid that got XX number of offers, coach may keep in touch when another kid is being overlooked.
Basically, I may want a kid from this school, but I have to pay the price first (offering the top recruit). Just the way of recruiting.
I used to run on a small indoor track where it was hard to see around the corners. I always waited like 10 minutes to make sure which way people were running.
Pet Peeves? These are not in pecking order.
espn takes us for fools and do everything to keep us down.
The chron…need I say more.
The small12 that is scared of us like little girls & is afraid to invite us.
For the ones on Cougars websites that thinks a G5 can win a National Championship.
When I have to explain to the car wash employee that my car is still dirty.
Most airlines companies…need I say more?
When tips are included in your check.
Trying to get a ticket for a show/concert on line.
Fake news
When turning left or u-turning at a median, people that stay on the left hand side. We drive on the right side of the road! And you are blocking the view when you force the other person coming opposite way to do the same! This has to be the most common driving error in Houston and probably causes many wrecks.
People parking their grocery baskets in a parking spot instead of the cart corral.
People parking on neighborhood streets when there’s a perfectly good driveway in which to park.
Anything and everything related to UT.
