Do little things sometimes **** you off?

[JonDMiller]

"""4. The idiots that know the lane they are in is ending but blow past everyone then try to cut in front of someone when they run out of lane to drive in. I also won't let those cars in. There were times the road construction had been going on for months so everyone that drives it daily knows when they need to get over and everyone is patiently waiting then you see some guy 10 cars back dart out and go past everything then turn their blinker on hoping someone will let them in."""

I totally agree. We live in a society here. If the signs tell you to change lanes, or your lane is ending, do what should be done. that is not to blow by the other mindful and respectful cars that have changed lanes.

I will NOT let you in. Not a chance. And I get ticked off when people do let them in. there are times where I wish I just drove a grocery getter that is beat up, so if people tried to nudge in with the nose of their car, they would get a nice lime green scrape on their Lexus from my 64 lime green Impala.

Now, here is one caveat. If there is an exit ramp coming up, and you take that, and then get back on the interstate, bypassing hundreds of cars with ingenuity, I am all for that. And practice it on occasion

1) People who talk, loudly, on their cell phones in public. I hate being subjected to other people conversations when I am on the light-rail commuting to and from work.
2) People who cannot understand the concept of parking between the lines.
3) People who park INCHES from your car, thereby making it difficult to get into said car.
4) PULL UP YOUR PANTS!

The gratuitous use of "grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" on message boards!:biglaugh:

My wife thinks that by (imo) yelling while talking on her cell in OUR car is okay ... along with having to move her arms and hands around to make her point while on the phone.

Damnit, my ears are 3 feet away and my coffee is 1 foot away from your arms and hands!

But I love her to death and pieces ... did that come out right?

EDIT: I don't police the grammar thing (we all make mistakes)... I just notice it and pack it away in my head as a way to judge you :wink:

You all have made excellent points about driving. Its amazing how people every get through drivers ed.

 

[cybsball20]

What about the people that dont turn their lights on in heavy fog. Especially with grey/white cars. I know you can see, but I CAN'T SEE YOU!

It looks like the guy was correct in tipping the beer upside down. The mistake happened when he put his thumb over the hole.

If we are going to talk about traffic lets hit the real idiots on the road.
No or one functional head light
No or one functional brake light
Those who DO NOT scrape their windshield This one really pisses me off ALL WINDOWS PEOPLE front back AND SIDES!

In addition to that, people who don't turn their lights on when it's raining. Yes, I understand it's 2 in the afternoon, that doesn't mean I can see you through the downpour though. They need to make new cars so that if your wipers are on, so are your lights, and if they already do that then I want credit.

The sad thing is that it took me longer to read that simple incorrect sentence than it would if it was correct. My english teachers did a number on me.

Eventually Im sure all cars will have the daytime running lights.

That's a pet peeve of mine also, I had someone today pull out with a circle the size of a dinner plate and nothing more scraped, wtf are they thinking?

Re: Do little things sometimes p*** you off?

Not many carry Modelo, by far my favorite beer. What do they like down there in Mexico as far as their domestic beers are concerned.

Definately not Corona. When we go down to Cancun, everytime they only have Dos Equis XX on tap. I believe this is the only bear they have kegged down in the cancun area. Other than that Negra Modelo is always popular.

Traffic...

On multilane roads (particularly the interstate)...people who sit right off my passenger side rear bumper in the adjacent right line and match my speed. I signal to make a right lane change to get to my off ramp, but they are close enough that I can't change lanes. I slow down to let them by...they slow down. I speed up to get by them...they speed up. :arghh: With the F-250, if I step the accelerator to the floor to invoke emergency acceleration mode, the computer dumps a bunch of extra diesel into the engine which creates a quick little black diesel cloud, and the exhaust pipe comes out the passenger side rear. I hate to do that to the environment, but it makes Mr. Speed Matcher back off...

People chasing down the interstate in the far right line who don't let people driving on the the on-ramp get on to the interstate.

Also, for Mexican beer, XX, Tecate, Sol...

Something else that annoys me are people who drive Hummer H3's.

You just spent nearly $40K on the following.

#1 A vehicle that is basically a Chevy Colorado with a different body

#2 Your 220 horsepower would be fine in most vehicles but the H3 weighs over 5,000lbs. This means that it will take you roughly a year to get to 70mph

#3 You're lucky to get 14mpg

#4 Even though you have this huge vehicle, the inside has about as much room as a Geo Tracker

#5 The interior looks like it was designed by the same team that brought us the 77 Monte Carlo (I had one)

#6 The rear visibility is about equal to an 18 wheeler

#7 It takes roughly 10 miles to stop this monster if you ever do make it up to 70mph



Yeah I have issues.....

The lime in the Corona wouldn't irritate me. I've done it on occasion myself. Just becareful not to spray anyone in the bar after the bottle flip. That is asking for a bar fight.

Traffic things **** me off the most. Tailgating is my BIGGEST pet peeve. If people want to drive like idiots, fine, but don't involve me or my family. Tailgating involves me, IMO.

The other thing that irritates me is my car attracts idiots. I should have known when I bought it the wannabe racers in this world would see a WRX as a toy to play with. I can't leave the house without some Civic with no hubcaps and a giant buzzy muffler pulling up next to me. Street racing has to be one the stupidest ideas anyone can have.
