List of Outrages

[Grimster]

Add to that...

People who think they need to go faster than the flow of traffic and everyone else should get out of their way.

In my defense. There's -5- lanes of traffic (one way) on the main drag I take home, seriously you CAN get the hell out of my way if I feel like going 90 in a 70 and you feel like doing 75 in a 70 in the FAR left hand lane! Also everyone else is trying to do 80 anyway.

31) Came home yesterday and my F@&*ING dog ate a hole in the wall. Through the sheetrock and half the insulation. Then puked it up on the carpet. He now owes his life to my daughter and SWMBO. I have zero tolerance for wall-eating.

32) People.

 

[Grimster]

Amen to THAT brother. Flashing lights that aren't a cop, ambulance, or fire truck. Only make me go 5-10 below. **** if I am going to get outta my lane now.

#23 People who speed up because you signaled to cross over to their lane.

If I have a 16 foot car I only need a 17 foot opening to merge IF YOU PISS ME OFF, I lived in the Bay Area for a while, that's NORMAL there (as I learned VERY quickly).

I also drive a GTO good luck "speeding up" to stop me merging I'll just get pissed and merge in front of the guy YOU are behind I was just being nice and taking the LARGEST opening I saw, not the one nearest the exit/off ramp/etc I was looking for.

However, this same attitude IS NOT GOOD when I'm in my dually pulling my 24 foot enclosed car trailer with my SCCA track car in it

Yeah sometimes I suffer from road rage. I'm working on it.

#35 Receiving conflicting instructions about proper methodology for citations in the biggest assignment of the year, which leads to...

#36 Working on the biggest assignment of the year past midnight, which wouldn't be too bad, but I'd much rather be watching a movie and drinking one of my beers.

It just drives me up the wall when the guy behind me can see there's a million cars ahead of me, as far as the eye can see, and they're going the same speed as I am but he still insists on riding me ass and flashing his lights. If I move over, he'll just be going the same speed in front of me instead of behind me.

If I move over, he'll just be going the same speed in front of me instead of behind me.

I normally leave at 3pm, there's not a lot of traffic then I -try- and stick to the fast lane and act like a nice guy. Inevitably some doofus will also stick in the left lane doing EXACTLY 70, on a 5 lane (one way) freeway with moderate traffic.

This is when my native German takes over, you simply DO NOT pass to the right. I try and wait while said blue haired granny realizes "people keep zooming past me to the right" and gets over but I inevitibly lose patience, and do the same thing (pass her to the right, usually shifting into 4th gear to make my displeasure audible).

If traffic is heavy, I just sit back, hit an inside lane, find something mellow to listen to and watch all the idiots trying to go 80 when 70 ain't happening. Meaning if I leave at 4 instead of 3PM. I don't "mind" going 65 in a 70 if it's necessary, I just schedule my work day so I don't HAVE to (7-3 instead of 9-5).

 

[northernlad]

Drivers that drive slow in the left lane and refuse to move to the right lane. Heck, even if they're going the speed limit, if there's someone behind you wanting to go faster, MOVE THE HELL OVER!!

Drivers that don't use their turn signals. Or almost worse, they use them, but at the last minute. Tell me, what's the point of letting me know you're making a left turn when you're in the middle of it! For !@#$% sake, you should be putting on your signal before you use your brake to slow down. Idiots.

#20 People that think that. 5-10 or whatever mph over the speed limit isn't fast enough then go around me. Riding my ass and flashing your lights is only going to make me go slower.

Amen to THAT brother. Flashing lights that aren't a cop, ambulance, or fire truck. Only make me go 5-10 below. **** if I am going to get outta my lane now.

Not sure where you all live, but in my hood its a state law. Git yer Sunday drivin ass in the right lane and keep it there or drive the frontage road.

On the flip side, screw the dude who can't wait a minute until you can move over.

 

[ChshreCat]

And when you're getting on the freeway, you better get your rusted bucket of crap up to freeway speed (or at least as close as traffic is getting to it) before you hit the end of the offramp! If your car can't do it, then it shouldn't be on the freeway!

Whats your point? The speed limit is a state law too.

 

[JohnnyO]

Sorry folks, but the left lane is the "Passing Lane". Sure it's the lane that (should) have the fastest moving cars, but you shouldn't consider it the "Fast" Lane. That would be pretty shortsighted of you. There could be some dipsh!t behind you, wanting to go faster.

Speed is relative.

Oklahoma doesn't have any of that pass on left crap.

40. Whoever in my company it was who decided that having a legitimate email land in the junk folder maybe once every few months was not worth everyone in the company wasting 15+ minutes per day deleting all the spam we get in our inboxes now.

 

[kjung]

18. Idiots who think you're supposed to get out of their way so they can merge when there's plenty of room in front of and behind you. Pick a hole and stick your car in it, *******!

That's one of the main reasons that I drive a beater. Go ahead a$$hole! Try and force me over with your nice new car, when there's plenty of room BEHIND me!!

Ahh, but when you're driving faster than everyone else, you ARE passing them !

 

[david_42]

N+1: People who pass on the right when you are in the freaking slow lane and there are three clear lanes to the left.

By the way, back home we call the shoulder, 'ditch' and that one-lane bridge up ahead does not connect to the ditch.

#37 Its 75 and sunny & spring training just started and i'm stuck at work.

 

[northernlad]

My point is, the left lane is for passing, not travelling. It does not matter your speed but, especially if you are too scared to drive at least the speed limit, you do not belong in the left lane if there is room for you to travel in the right.

You have not truly experienced outrage until you have travelled on an interstate in Washington. While other places hold the title of worst traffic, we hold the undisputed distinction of the stupidest people behind a wheel.

42. A dentist who wants to take the time to explain every little thing to you.

I appreciate the gesture, but I dont need to know what you're doing every 20 seconds. Just let me know if I'm about to feel pain and get on with it.

Coulda shortened that whole appointment by 20 minutes if he wouldnt have talked so much.

43. A damn numb mouth

The dentist that bumps up big money work since it is better to get it done before you decide to get knocked up... sure it makes sense, but I would have rather pushed off paying the money until the work was actually needed...

Also... I hate slow drivers and idiots. I have an hour commute in the mornings and people keep asking me how I find it. Well 50 minutes of it are on country roads and then the divided highway... just me, the radio, whatever thoughts I happen to be spinning (and hubby asleep in the passanger's seat), then I hit the signs for town and the road fills with stupid people that don't know how to drive or where they are going... when you pull onto the highway from the on ramp have the decency to get up to the speed limit before pulling into the passing lane, or at least let me get by before you pull your car right in front of me with no signal light at 40km less an hour than I am doing....

It is a quote from an Austin Powers movie. Not a good movie, but the line made me laugh, as it is #46 and #47 together.

 

[RIBeer]

48. People who yield their right-of-way at a stop sign. Seriously. If you just stop, then drive through, we would all be on our merry way much faster, rather that everyone sitting there waving at each other, and then making several false starts because you are confusing the s$*! out of everyone else

LOL. I prefer early morning classes to get them over with. But I would rather have no class on Fridays.

Culture is so important. One can learn an infinite amount of things by observing and immersing themselves in another culture. I prefer food and language as the things I immerse myself in.

And I hate the Dutch that post crap in their language on english newsgroups without any information on it. It's as if they feel entitled to it because they get free broadband. POST SOME INFORMATION BEFORE I DOWNLOAD A 4 GIG FLICK AND FIND OUT IT'S ONLY IN DUTCH AND IT'S CRAP!
