I have people tell me all of the time that cyclist don't have a right to be on the roads. I keep a copy of the Georgia Drivers License Manual in my truck and am very quick to get it and correct them.

Pedestrians might be an annoyance when driving but almost invariably they do have the right of way.

Yes, cyclists do belong on the roads. Like motorists, if only they would all learn and obey the rules of the road we'd all be better off.

My pet peeve is getting exited about an auction on E-bay. Waiting 3 days for
the auction to end,bidding on the item winning the item paying for it within
minutes of the close and getting no responce from the seller. Two days later
I email them for status and the seller says they have been trying to get it in the mail and they would try tomorrow. So it's taking them 7-8 days to get
my purchase to me when they live 50 miles away. Would be nice if these
lazy ass people could be responcable enough to take care of business.

Ohhhh I feel better

Car door dings. I've been driving for 35 years and have never ever dinged another's car. Why can't people be a bit more careful?

Because they are selfish raging a$$holes, more concerned about texting the dickhead standing right next to them (or some other moronic activity) than watching WTF they are doing..

In this country it is a fine of up to $300 for driving and phone usage at the same time. They still do it though.

Looking after their Kids?? Read a report this week of a 3 year old wandering, in his pajamas in the middle of a highway 4AM IN THE MORNING

When I actually see someone opening their door against the side of one of my cars..... well, let's just say that it's a Jeckyl and Hyde moment.

I'm obsessive about keeping a straight body on a car. I don't care if the paint is peeling off or faded, but a dent or tiny little ding sends me flying off the handle. The metal has to be perfectly straight and flawless the entire length of the car.

On a lighter note...

Sensitize yourself to the word "just." People use it like this... "Just do this and just do that..."

Nine out of ten times the person using the word just just does NOT know what it takes to do what they are advocating YOU should JUST do.

Mark my words. You will come to despise the word "just."

woof!

LOL...Just like Should? I despise the word should and I am a past habitual user of it....a habit I am desperately trying to break on occasion...I try to check my "shoulds" at the door now and remove the word from my vocabulary.

Nothing gets my back up more than hearing the sentence..."you should do/get/give/try/go______________,<--------fill in the blank.

One of mine has to do with left turn lanes and signals. Some people believe that if the car ahead of them made the turn, the they also get to make the turn, regardless of what color the light/arrow is.

r0ckstarr · 05-28-2010, 03:57 PM

People that use the word "like" in every sentence.

"....and you know, like the color blue, and i was like uhh, and she was like no-way, and like when I went to get some stuff, we were all like, and then........."
