1 Big Pep Peeve of Mine......

[bmason01]

I personally cannot stand to see a car, parked at the edge of the road, facing the road, and it NOT have a for sale in it or it not be for sale.

I just get excited, no matter what type of car it is, to see if its a deal. But I have came up on 3 in the last 2 weeks that have been parked in the "perfect for sale posistion", and have NOT been for sale.


Random thought if the day. End rant.

I hate it when cars parked in short driveways look like they are waiting to pull out into traffic. I had a bitch total one of my cars by pulling out while I was driving by, so now I watch cars in this position like a hawk.

When I realise they are parked I feel cheated. All that anxiety for nothing.

I hate when people park on the side of the road, because the driveway is full or whatever, facing the wrong way.

I hate it when they're too expensive, or when you do a autotrader search and the PERFECT car is 2000 miles away!

And this! Haha/ This happened to me this morning actually...

You know what really grinds my gears, when you're at a stop light or 4 way stop and signaling to turn left, waiting for the opposing car to go straight. Then, after waiting a few aggravating seconds they turn left whilst signaling they will be turning halfway through the turn. That is what grinds my gears.

How bout when a second car parks on the side of a residential street directly across from an already parked car. So there's barely enough room to drive a car between them. Whilst there be ample room elsewhere on the street to park.

This really gets me worked up.

When you are waiting at a traffic light and the car ahead of you inches forward a bit, stops, inches forward a bit more, and a bit more again.

It looks like he/she is way too impatient to wait for the light to turn green! Must be in a real hurry and he's gonna just scream down the street as soon as this light turns green. He's totally anticipating when the light will change based on the color of the light to the perpendicular traffic.

annnnnd, when the light is finally green he/she takes off like a snail.

This! Except usually its the person behind me that is doing it. By the time the light turns green, they are less than two feet from my bumper.

I find this so frigging annoying especially when I'm stuck in traffic on a steep hill which happens at least twice a day, and they are long hills. I don't care how good you are at driving stick, its nice to know that if you roll back 2 inches that you won't hit the car behind you when taking off. And in traffic you're not doing it once, but 30,40 times before you get onto flat ground.


I think if we had more people that were not so damn lazy in this country this wouldn't be a problem. People don't usually creep up with a stick and they have enough sense to leave the dude in front of them some personal space.

I also hate door dings, so I always park like this.

I find a corner spot and park really close to the curb. what's really annoying is when the prick that is inevitably going to park next to me parks like on that line so it didn't even matter than I did that.

I never understood the logic of this.

My ire is reserved for people who don't zipper merge. Don't stop, don't try to rush in right behind the guy in front of you, let one guy in, other line lets you in, back and forth it is so simple and clean.

There's an intersection here south of Dallas, cloverleaf with access roads on all four sides. All you do is charge up the clover, slip in behind the guy on the access road, who is sliding onto the bridge you are coming onto which leads to his leaf off as you slide onto the access road which leads to your merge onto the interstate. Simple, clean, nobody has to even think about thinking about it... except that 75% of the time some jerk stops dead at the top of the cloverleaf to wait for traffic to clear. People coming on the access road don't know what to do with that, people behind the guy nearly slam into him because they are looking backwards at the access to judge their merge speed... I have seen at least three accidents including a tractor trailer at this intersection and there's no reason for it, just freaking zipper ok?

Hmm, I also hate when people use wrong words in common sayings. It's another pet peeve of mine.

Ah the old zipper merge. Try dealing with this in a semi-trailer and all the *******s who try to race ahead of me. I dont let them in. Been known to run people off the road. Im bigger, and not moving for an ******* driver in a hurry. Matter of fact the last guy that did this to me had a highway patrol two cars behind him. Lit him up for it. It was hilarious. That day I learned that sometimes the law is there when you need them to be.

Every day on the way home I have to get onto a 6 lane highway (3 in each direction) and it works beautiful when you accelerate up to say 70mph and merge right on in, maybe tap the brake if need be if traffic is going slower.

But 9 times out of 10 it seems like there is always some dickweed in front of me who thinks its smart to merge onto a highway with a 65mph limit while going 35mph.

I also watch this constantly while I'm on the highways here and guess what. 3 lanes in one direction going 70-75 turns into STOPPED traffic when ONE person tries to merge on going 25-35. People in the right lane start to move over into the center, people in center move into left, people start stopping and it all jams up.

So I guess mine is the fact people can't grasp the concept of merging at the operating speed of the highway so not to impede the flow.

Here in Metro Detroit, it is the I-75/M-59 Interchange. An awful experience for any driver forced to endure it and back when it went in was claimed to be a safety innovation. Proves there is a difference between theory and real life.

As for me, I love to use wrong words in common sayings for the effect. I have noticed some of the likes my posts have received are when doing that but I would continue doing that even if I did not get a positive response.
