Agree, and also people who whip out their phone in the middle of a group conversation, make a call and then shush you, or scold you for talking about weed while their on the phone with mom. Fucking walk away.

There are lefts here that have a zealous sensor. So if one person has a case of cranial flatus and launches a few seconds late, THAT person makes it through on the yellow ... or sometimes the Long Pink (It wasn't really quite red yet). The persons behind Daydreamer pay the penalty for an extra three minutes.
Locally we have hills. There is one stretch on the drive home from Rednekabad (glorious cultural capital of region) where, if there is no traffic, I can coast clutch-in for over four miles, just enjoying Gravity's Gift. However sometimes I end up behind some Bay Area retiree who sees the merge at the bottom of the hill and brakes hard at the worst possible spot because there's someone waiting to make the uphill left turn against traffic ... confusing the turner and forcing me to scrub all that succulent velocity that would have j-u-s-t carried me to the next downslope. Of course, Oldnessmobile then gooses that V6 up the flat section in a dazzling display of dis-economy. ~sigh~ cn

People who covet sensationalism.People who forward misinformation on Facebook, and then when corrected continue to post anyway 'just in case'. I am tired of seeing photos of sick children and abused pets with the idea that a 'like' or share will allow them to get help. I showed a girl three different sites debunking these stories and even testimony from the parents about how traumatizing it is to see their sick (and in some cases deceased) kids pics being passed around Facebook, and she still shares them 'just in case'. She is no longer my friend.This also goes for 'hacker' warnings, 'gang week' alerts and the like. Before spreading fear one should take 2 minutes and check snopes.com or Facecrooks.com.

I hate when a corner of the trash bag falls off the rim of the can but the rest of the house just continues to shove shit in there so when its time to take the trash out I gotta reach halfway down the fucking trash to get that last corner so trash doesn't spill everywhere.

this. There is an area that I have to drive through on my way home from work that cuts down to 25 from 55. If i'm going 65 just before the 25 warning sign I can coast alll the way through the 25 zone perfectly. That is until some old bastard decides he needs to be going 25 when he goes through the warning sign. There's no cops here, why must you go so damnably slow. It's not even residential till mid-way through the 25.

ha ha to funny. I was always in a hurry, late or just had to get shit done. Then I retired and life has slowed down, sorry!! You change without realizing for a while. People were always watching me in their rear view, now it's the other way around. First, I try to avoid rush hour so I'm not in your way in the first place. Nest, at the first opportunity I WILL PULL OVER AND GET OUT OF YOUR WAY.
If you think about It if there is a cop waiting with his radar gun I would rather have you in front of me than behind me. I have avoided lot of tickets in my time using this method.

I also will get out of the way, since I like to drive for mileage. That makes me slower to accelerate than anyone not in a Buick Diesel, and my chosen rate of cruise is also below that most would like. Interestingly here in Ca there is a state law *requiring* anyone with five or more people behind him to pull over, regardless of speed limit. It always mildly amuses me to see how few drivers seem aware of the rule. It's a choice between amused or enraged, and I won't do enraged. Not granting road rage that first purchase is a discipline of mine.
I do not think I could be at ease blasting through a 25 at 60 or so. I had a nice car once and enjoyed carving the twisties in the Bay Area on the occasional Sunday, but most of the time, one vision kept me at or not much above the posted limits: that possible bicyclist just around that blind right turn, fussing with a flat where there was no shoulder. Kept me honest. cn

Just get out of his way. He will take care of himself. The nice thing is you don't have to do a thing, he will do all the work himself.

The renters who call with emergencies and then when you show up (after arranging the time with them ) pretend they are not home by refusing to answer the door or phone . Especially when you know they are in there .
