People who enter the highway at 30mph. :rolleyes:

This morning, I got stuck behind a 1968 Dodge Charger doing exactly that. What a fucking shame. If I'm going to either spend a buttload of money to buy a classic muscle car or a buttload of time and effor to restore one, I would at least get some use out of it :rage:

Another major pet peeve I have is when dicks in their stupid lifted small-pen15 mobiles block the right-hand edge of an intersection so that cars behind it can't turn right :rage:

Lane Campers are my #1 pet peeve, and then there's the people who changes lane to the left for no reason even though they're perfectly fine where they were originally.

Then there's the one's who changes lanes with no regards to how fast the other lanes are going, and also people who changes lanes without signalling.

And then there's the ones who brakes for anything and everything instead of simply letting them damn feet off of the gas pedal and it'll slow down.  And that goes for the assholes who drives like they have their left foot on the brake pedal.

And then on local streets, you have assholes that passes on the right when there's no fuckin' lane at all and are looking to run over some bicycles.  And then there's people that comes to an almost complete stop when making a right turn, FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE GOD DAMN LANE WHEN IT'S AT LEAST 2 LANES WIDE!!!  WTF IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE!!! YOU'RE HOLDINIG UP TRAFFIC!!!!!!

Same for those that STOPs at a Yield sign at a traffic circle, that's EMPTY!!!  WTF!!

I have more but that's it for now

There's no parking on my campus, other than garages and a few lots.  Student parking is all off campus, I think.

Damn! Wish I've never seen a car double park. I see it done more often during the winter time with snowbanks taking spots.

Another annoyance when parking is when people park way too close to your car. I mean, is it really that hard to adjust! I hate coming back to see I have to squeeze to get into my car.

Here you can only have two auxilary lights and it's a moving violation.

If I come up on someone who's going slowly in the middle lane, and I go into the left lane to pass, and they speed way up so I can't pass and end up having to accelerate to at least 80 mph to pass them at get back over into the middle lane.

I hate those people. It happened to me yesterday. Some lady in a Lexus GS400 was going 55 mph in a 65 mph zone and I came up on her doing 70 so when I pass her she automatically speeds up to 75 mph, forcing me to floor it and get up over 80 mph and pass her, and then she automatically drops back to 55 mph after I squeeze in front of her.

Those people give me road rage. :rage:

These people I believe are a bit dangerous. Making a conscious decision to impede another's progress. I find this happens a lot on two lane highways. They'd be going along their merry way and I'd end up catching up to one of these drivers.. then attempt to pass. Then all of a sudden these lunatics are matching your speed during your pass. Two ways have this nasty habit of having ONCOMING TRAFFIC headed at you. These lunatics only seem to do this to ruin other people's day. I call them Unabomber drivers. People with serious chips on their shoulders for other people on the road that want to get past them while they're driving all alone and slowly.

I usually stay the hell away from them. I won't bother passing. I'm just waiting for the day when one of these twits sideswipes or shows me a weapon or something. Passing them or attempting to do so and having them act crazy just doesn't seem worth adding unwarranted stress to my day.

Luckily there was the left lane for me to use, not an oncoming lane. That would've been even worse.
However, the people in the left lane weren't even doing 80 mph so I was closing in on them fast.

Welcome to Canada. I think it's done pretty much everywhere in this country and no one ever mentions it... or gets visibly irritated by these kinds of actions. Grr.

Has anyone mentioned the boneheads who drive in a snowstorm, fog, or heavy rain with their lights off?  This pisses me off no end.  I'll flash my lights to them as a reminder, and inevitably they'll step on their brakes, as if I'm warning them of a radar trap...in a snow storm.  At least if they do that and don't figure out to turn on their lights instead, I can feel good because at least I pissed them off, wasted their time and confused them.

On Saturday afternoon I was driving home from Winter Park, and I passed a lady on the highway who had two small dogs sitting in her lap, draped over her left arm, panting out the driver's window.

What a selfish prick! She can't break physical contact with her rat-dogs for more than 2 seconds, so she lets them sit on her lap WHILE SHE DRIVES? I wish a trooper would have saw her, pulled the car over, dragged the two dogs out by the scruff of their necks, and shot a bullet between each of their ugly pairs of eyes.
As I write, highly civilized human beings are flying overhead, trying to kill me.

I have written here before about the TX DPS trooper who passed me and the lady in front of me with her dog in her lap with his paws up on the steering wheel to nab a speeder.  Curious priorities.
Freedom is dangerous.  You can either accept the risks that come with it or eventually lose it all step-by-step.  Each step will be justified by its proponents as a minor inconvenience that will help make us all "safer."  Personally, I'd rather have a slightly more dangerous world that respects freedom more. ?

The dog was probably not doing anything illegal.
