Stupid Pet Peeves

I swing wide right to make a left on a one lane just to make sure people don't pass me. My mailman got hit from this, a young girl(1st grade) in my neighborhood got killed in the crosswalk, and I have sat on my porch and seen multiple bicyclists get run off the road. One lane is meant for one car. That is why it isn't 2 lanes. When it is more than one lane you still need to stop if the person in front of you does. Don't whip around them like an ******* cuz you are in a big hurry to wait at the next red light.

Do you also make sure to slow way down and take the turn extra easy, especially when there's someone behind you?

Don't forget to have a satisfied little smirk to yourself once the car behind you finally gets to move on.

Little cars that act like they're pulling big trailers are the worst.
 
stupid motorcyclists not wearing helmets who try to get into a "road rage style" race for lane position against an automobile


this was on a city street - a sort of major local street but one with one lane of traffic in either direction and a parking lane on the right (with signs saying "No Driving in Parking Lanes")and with cars sporadically parked along the way - FYI, the limit is 25 mph

I was at the front of 2 other cars, I was driving about 28-30 mph, approaching a red light a couple blocks ahead, when I notice in my side mirror a guy on a motorcycle coming up on the right, riding in the parking lane. He was trying to get in front of the guy in the car behind me, who was bound and determined not to let him in. We get to the light (it's red) and I'm in the left turn lane - the car that was behind me is next to me on my right, and the motorcyclist pulls up to his right (technically in the "right turn" lane)

Of course, the guy on the motorcycle was NOT turning right, he just wanted to get ahead of the guy next to me - as I'm sitting waiting to make my left turn, they both gun it and the motorcyclist gets ahead of the car, so the car gets into the right to pass the motorcyclist, who had to slow down because there was a guy ahead of him waiting to make a left turn. So I see the car pull ahead and in front of the guy turning left that was blocking the motorcyclist. At that point, I lost sight of them.

If you're gonna be STUPID that way on a motorcycle, at least wear a helmet.

(And it wasn't even a big motorcycle, it was actually more of a big motor scooter.)

Let me first start off by saying **** off. I never mentioned a red light. I never mentioned cross walks and residential areas. The areas of which I spoke are ones where the speed limit is typically 40-55. Now, I'll continue by saying that all of those instances you mentioned suck big time. The girl's death is awful. But they're easily avoidable. If a driver uses his or her ****ing eyes, it's really not too tough to see about 200 meters ahead and whether there are bicycles or a mailman in the shoulder or people walking across the street. Now get off your ****ing high horse.

"meters".... pshh
 
Stupid **** on facebook like "if you remember riding a bike without a helmet and turning out okay like this"

This is how Trump becomes President.

Even better when they add a comment something like "I dare you to post this as your status for one day."

You're talking Celsius right? You need to clarify that for us Yanks, otherwise some will think it's quite cold.

Yeah man, not Fahrenheit or Kelvin. Been a pretty mild winter actually, summer will probably be a scorcher.
 
Wifey and I went furniture shopping last night. Ugh. A couple of pet peeves hit hard.
-RC Willey. That place is worse than a used car lot. You can't even park without a salesman jumping at you.
-People who walk through a door and immediately stop, blocking all access to those coming or going. Ironically, my wife is horrible at this.
-When it's been a while since I last drove in an area and they've since reworked all the streets/intersections and now nothing is the same.

I hate these two as well.
 
Probably already mentioned, but in case not: people who talk to you while you're using a urinal in a public restroom. Talking about people you know, of course; I don't think I've ever had a stranger do this, thank goodness.

I like the outrage at a stranger talking to you at a urinal. In my many years of working in nightclubs i've seen some very odd things in toilets, best thing I ever saw was one guy spewing into a urinal must have gone on for a good couple of minutes until another guy walked in and fell into the urinal, onto the vomit, while the other guy continued to vomit on him. Only way it could have got better is if he had a golden shower. The dude covered in vomit got up and bolted for the door, one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
