Drivers who have no clue what a passing lane is.

I always knew drivers from MN and WI had no clue but now the friggin Texans and Skokies won't get out of the way. This AM Skokies in the passing lane going 55 in a 65 WTF.

55 in a 65???!!! In california, if you're doing 65 in a 65 people are honking and flying by you like you're sitting still.

I'm one of the people flying by...

80 is the norm on the 15 freeway.

I was pretty pissed made me smoke my damn VR a little too fast. Then when you pass them with a dirty look they look confused.

Drivers who have no clue period are a big peeve of mine.

Whether they don't know the speed limit just went up on the road, or that you're in the left lane because you want to pass everyone and the jackass is just cruising along.

And what is it with not knowing how to use a turn signal?! I don't want to hit your car buddy.

I could go off about drivers for an hour, but I won't.

from a previous post on another site;

I hate;

1)When people stop in the middle of store aisles, etc and set up little conversational cells so we all have to walk around them.

2) When people are so self absorbed that they have no clue that there are other people around them and continually walk into the space that other people have been rightfully occupying.

3) Drivers who will stop in the middle of the street to pick up/drop off somebody when there are plenty of parking spaces.

4) The fact that you have to sit through 45 seconds of bull**** when you just want to watch a f*cking DVD.

5) When people ask questions that they know the answer to just to feel important.

6) The fact that bars have strawberry, peach, etc "Margaritas" and "daiquiris". These drinks have lost their true identity to a generation of drinkers that would rather deal with a huge headache/hangover than deal with a drink that tastes like booze.

7) "shark researchers" - twits that spend a jillion dollars to determine that sharks bite things because they are hungry little f**king eating machines.

8) Democrats who only vote democratic to keep their free money coming.

9) People who pay for things that cost more than $5 with change.

10) When policemen don't stop at stop signs, don't use turn signals, and drive recklessly.

11) When the guy in front of you in the food checkout is buying steaks and seafood with food stamps, while you are buying bologna with cash.

12) When people who have terrible children judge you for scolding your child or smacking the ass if they don't listen.

13) When people who have terrible children let them run amok.

14) terrible children.

15) When people have dogs that are mean, especially if they encourage that behaviour (does not apply to guard dogs or dogs purchased/bred for that purpose).

16) That we have to tiptoe around racial/sexual issues for fear of offending.

I have a huge list also, but I'll just limit my take to one. I'm currently working in a service oriented industry. I enjoy taking care of my customers. I feel I should be given the same courtesy when I am in the market for something. As a new home owner, I have spent literally thousands of $ dollars $ in the last 2 years on various new items and improvements on my new home. I hate it anymore when I shop at the LARGE (depot style) HOME CENTER (no name given, you figure it out) and they are absolutely TOO busy to assist. And when I do get assistance, I have to pretty much beg for it. I'm not the handiest guy, but I do have all the tools and the desire. There are some things I will not attempt just because to do it twice would likely leave unsightly marks. So, I have enlisted their help in getting things done, and here is a short list of their incompetence.

Ordered a shower door(too small), French door to the patio (too too large, special order, and they measured the opening), screens that never came, had to order 3 times finally got them after 4 months, they delivered the deck lumber to the wrong address, (lane vs. court, ct. clearly printed on the invoice), and not to mention but I will, 2 different tankless water heaters. First one was installed and LEAKED. I guess it was untested before it was shipped to the store. I shop there to save money. The water heater was $249 and $175 to install it. My local plumber wanted $600 for the job. And I would of had to wait. So, I depot'd it. Bad idea.

To be totally fair, all items were corrected, but the delays were insufferable some times. 2 weeks on the new French doors. I had to live with plastic in the opening because they took my slider out. It was new and the installer recycled it. 2 days on the defective water heater.

Oh well, I have lived and learned from this.

good one herf - I quit shopping there. I'd rather pay more at the mom and pop shop and get answers from folks that have done the work. Rural King is the best.

Lowe's is easier to get answers.

I'll add one more short people got no reason to live.

Bassdude, drivers from MN and Wi? don't the pig farmers(that would be people from Iowa)go south too? The first time I went to Detroit I was driving 65 in a 55 zone. Cars were zipping by. One was riding my A$$. He finally went around(there were 4 lanes). When he got along side me the guy in the passenger seat gave me the finger several times and then they zoomed away! That was my first experience with the Detroit Police Department. LOL Ask me about smuggling guns into Canada from Detroit some time. LOL now that was funny!

1- Taxes.

2- Women using the Men's bathroom at our office and leaving 'spent' feminine protection behind.

3- Bullies.

4- Commericals. Especially during the NFL games. TD, extra point, commercial, kick off, commercial.

5- Any bar rail whiskey below Kesslers in quality.

6- Body odor.

7- The NBA.

8- People that claim Racism in situation where racism doesn't exist.

9- Strippers that approach you for money after they are done dancing and you weren't/aren't anywhere near the stage (Rugrunner told me to put that one in here).

10- Adroomi.

That about covers it.
