Location: Wyoming | When there are fifty acres for people to park their trailers and they have to squeeze in between you and your neighbor. And park so that when they tie their horse up you can't get in the drivers side of your truck. Jeez some people. This happened to me last night. I parked so the people next to me had plenty of room but not so much room that anybody else would park between us, or so I thought. Guess thats what I get for thinking!!javascript:smilie('36',' ');javascript:smilie('36',''); |

Either that, or let em see you carry one of those little plastic step stools in there with you. I'm not trying to make fun of your vertically challengedness, but thinking of ways to make a point to whoever had the brainstorm to put in a potty that was for vertically endowed. |

Got Bassetts?
| Got a new one. Standing in the barnyard driveway washing a horse...hose, bucket, brushes everywhere. I'm all happy to make my black and brown appy black and white again, if even for just a couple days. Mail lady-who always stops by the house-comes up the drive to deliver a package, honking the horn and pulls up to where I am. The young colt goes spastic, I'm trying to control him. She runs over my metal curry which managed to put a hole in her tire. So of course I had to drop everything to help her change it. AGGRIVATING! If it wasn't for bad luck I would have none. |

| Funny to read this right now. I am sitting at computer doing homework when mail guy drives up. I have three big dogs of my own and now one that someone kindly "dumped" in the country. Well, he feeds them treats from his car window and then can't figure out why they won't leave when he's ready to drive away? To top that the county highway outside our house people do about 80 on as it's a straight away and hardly no cops. I finally called the post office. I HATE to get people in trouble but a little common sense goes a long way. Four dogs on the highway searching for dog biscuits thrown out a window is NOT common sense in action! UGH |

| thought of another one, and I'm sure ya'll dont' mind right???? At a youth rodeo when a girl riding a horse she really can't control gets in between my truck and someone else's. Horse backs up, puts dent right in my fender of my Diesel Ford. Still there ! But the young girl was nice, her mother however is up for the "Mommy Dearest" award!!!! |

Location: Michigan | I have a couple... Just get done cleaning 30 stalls, when a boarder walks into the barn, and wants to know if the stalls are done yet. Say yes, she proceeds to go in and comes out griping that there is a pile in her horses stall, and wants me to clean it again! Hello, they don't stay spotless, that is why we clean them! Grab a fork and move it yourself, I am OFF the clock! Farriers who come into the barn, charge a fortune, and leave their mess. Farrier at work is so unlike my personal farrier in this! My guy will search high and low for a lost nail or tip, this guy leaves them on the aisle floor for every horse, tractor tire, etc to pick up. Brand new nails all over the floor, and so many tips. I want to pick them all up and charge HIM a fee. Plus make him pay for all tire repairs. Never fails, we use a leaf blower to clean the aisle and I find embedded nail tips for a week, just get them all so that no one gets hurt, and he comes back again! Leading a high strung warmblood out to the paddock, and boarder throws a bucket of water at us. That one was fun. As if it wasn't a challenge already with a 17.2 hand youngster snorting and blowing, but to have them completely freaked out, not good. When you loan something out for a one run deal, and that person comes back at every show to "borrow" it again. Hello, buy one, or use something else. Have lost too many sets of smb's already. |

I don't know what got into her but we were dusting the side off a brand spanken new Chevy Dually. Normally the horse and I would be having a discipline session, but it makes you think twice when you're against the side of a strangers truck that still had dealer tags. Thankfully she walked right out of it with some spurring action. |

Location: Oregon | I have one: my b/f - bless his heart, he is a great guy and I do love him - but I will be in the arena working a horse and it never fails .... going to the third barrel or loping some circles (intense - needing to stay on task) and he'll yell out the back door "Melinda! where is the remote!" or "what's your dad's phone number" OR he'll call my cell. I can't help but laugh but it still erks me! |

| OOOOO I've got one!! After a rodeo my truck and trailer apparently is the hang out spot for a group of ropers. All of them standing around trying to talk to me while I unsaddle my horse and get ready to go, not only do they NOT leave, but they lean on my black truck and scratch up the paint with their buckles. I just walk over and say 'excuse me, but I hope your not scuffin up on MY truck, because you will be paying for a new paint job". |

Location: Oklahoma | My biggest barrel racing pet peeve is the same one as it was on the last thread: After a run when they are outrun (it happens to ALL of us) the person has to give you the list of reasons they ran the time they did. Horse just not running, they are out of alignment, equipment problems, bad ground (we all had to run in the same ground), shadows in the arena, etc. You name it, I've heard it. Some times you just get beat. Does not mean you suck - it just means someone did better that day. It is worst between "friends". Biggest non-barrel racing pet peeve: the same as it was on the last thread. The LAZY people that don't put their shopping cart in the little shopping cart racks in the parking lots. Get real. You just walked all over the Super Wal-Mart, but that extra 20 feet is just asking too much. |

Location: Down the Gravel Road near the Missouri River, SD | People who get to an arena with limited parking as it is and start saving a spot for their buddies and you have to make another circle around the arena! Then 2 hours after a rodeo starts and that spot is STILL EMPTY. I hope they enjoyed their space! I have to agree with the shopping carts being left all over the place and not taken to the cart corral..NOT NICE |

Fed Ex man just doesn't want to deliver. Half the time I get a delivery from them, they can't find the place (they were just here last week) or they called and no one was home (this is a ranch--we were outside). UPS man is bad too. Scared of my puppy. Her name is Pup Pup for goodness sake. He acts annoyed when he sees her and practically throws my packages out the door! One time he left boxes in the back of our truck and we drove all over the place not knowing they were there. Anyone could have stolen these things or they could have gotten rained on. Same thing with the mailman. Wails on his horn until you come out. Keeps beeping even if it takes you a while because you're in the middle of something. Refuses to walk five feet to the porch to leave a package. And seems ticked off that I take another minute to slip my shoes on before going to his truck. Doesn't anyone want to do their jobs anymore? |

Location: Michigan | Guess I have a good FedEx man!! LOL I bought a saddle from a board buddy, and I was worried it didn't arrive. No note and it wasn't on my porch. Went to get in my truck and there it was on the seat. Rain was threatening and he went beyond the call of duty to protect my investment!! But I have a pet peeve to add to the list. Boarding for friends. A stranger will ask what you feed, how often, and sit back and see how it does for their horse along with you. Politely telling you past experiences with certain feeds/supplements, etc. Friend will ask what you feed, agree it is wonderful, and then blame your feed program when the horse acts up after not being ridden for months. Couldn't possibly be that the horse has had four months off and is being asked to drop to a forced head set (not a natural poll break headset) and do false collection work withon five minutes of being saddled for the first time in months. And then proceed to mull it over for days and call and again blame you and your feed for the horses actions. And then demand that you go out and buy a different feed for this horse only. |

I always wanted to write a barrel racer's excuse book. I agree with you. I have been to barrelraces when one will complain the ground is too deep, the next the ground is too hard, the next the ground is too slick, etc. If we had a book, we could just give the number and save us all time on listening....... |
