Default Is it just me or does that Irritate you too?

Call me a whiner or what have you , but when someone asks me to pop my hood and i reach in my car to do so, then they procceed up front to start trying to reach in for the latch and raise the hood on there own, does that not aggrivate you also???

In my opinion its a little disrespectful.

But i might just be crazy who knows.

haha your not the only one. I dont like it when someone does that unless they are a close friend. One of the f-body guys in my area got pissed when someone did that, he was like "you dont do that man, thats like me to sticking my fingers in your wifes pussy, you wouldn't like that would you?"

The T/A has a pull tab on the front so I don't worry about it. And the camaro, well... I am too embarrassed to open the hood. >_>


I would probably say something, but I wouldn't get that pissed over it. It's like asking for a soda from the fridge, then they get mad because they didn't open the fridge for you.

yeah, my girlfriend will move my seat WAY forward when she has to move my car, when im not home. it takes me forever to fix it, becuase i like my seat exactly this much back, with this much lean, and she messes it up every week. I guess i can't blame her though, she is only 5'2" and probably can't reach the pedals when its in my position. I guess i would much rather have her fuck with my seat, then try to drive it in an awkward/uncomfortable position.

my car has the factory SS style hood pins...nothing pisses me off more than someone reaching for one like they're gonna pull it because if you don't know what you're doing you WILL scratch the paint

hell I've scratched it 3 times by accident

You guys act like a bunch of monkeys are trying to open your hood while balancing a bucket of paint thinner on their head.

I hate how everyone has to run their hands down the side of the car. Get your fucking greasy ass McDonalds hands of my paint! I was at a show and saw like 8 people do this to other peoples cars. Just digging a canal through the wax.

Then their are the guys that put their hands behind their back and lean forward lol.

I agree with you on people opening the hood, but its not a big deal. I just dont like it when people lean on my car...so much that I park away from everyone at the hang out spot.

most of the people around here usually follow an unwritten code of "a man should open his own hood".

back in high school I spent most of the day detailing my car and went out, within 10 minutes of parking a jackass went over and sat on my hood...

I just about lost it that time, think I scared the shit out of him haha

It really doesn't aggravate me. i couldn't care less actually. They aren't doing anything to hurt the car, only thing is people will laugh at them when they can't find the latch lol

Ya like i said i think its just more irritating.
Even MORE so when they try then lean down to look for it because they dont know where it is, and i make it all the way around, then they wont move because they dont want to look like a douche and so im standing there watching them and it makes this akward situation that could have all been avoided if they would have just kept there hands to themselves.

still venting guys , bare with me.

Yea that annoys me too. Also it seems people feel the need to lean on my cars fenders or something when talking, that pisses me off.

I say the same thing. Sometimes I'll pop my hood at car shows and people just glance at it and walk past . Looks like a stock engine bay with some shit missing...not that exciting.
