IMPATIENT drivers in the FAST lane!:D (Those who want to go 20MPH OVER the speed limit)!

Yeah, them too.
I'm talkin' 'bout those inconsiderate boobs that are at 5 mph under and passing some guy going 6 mph under the limit.

Life is too short to worry about how other people drive. I just try to get home safely everytime I go out there.

But if you need to be frustrated by drivers - you need to experience places like Boston, Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Tucson and Phoenix. Whatever you do, don't make critical driving decisions based on others turn lights or brake lights.

1. Truckers that drive in the right lane through town making it hazardous to enter traffic.

2. Drivers that merge into 70 mph traffic doing 40 mph.

3. Cops that run stop signs and exceed the speed limit without siren or lights flashing (in other words, because they can).

Used to have quite a few pet peeves. The older I got I lost some of them.

Currently my most frequent pet peeve is all those folks that think I (and the rest of the Nation) owe them a living.

Second would be, people lacking integrity and acceptable morals.

I started a list on a "word" document and was going to import the list
But it filled my 160GB hard drive:eek:
So I gave the topic of my pet peeve some thought:rolleyes:
And decided that my pet peeve is having to listen to those who do not understand my point of view:D
Don't they realize I am right!
Have a nice night you all...and keep making sawdust.

ps: I'm peeved that I could only use 4 images in this post, and auto correct made me take two out. GeeWhiz

Bingo! I'm convinced this is exact behavior is what shapes many of the attitudes about Police and authority today. I see the respect of authority at an all time low and I think it is because many (especially youth) model what the see those in authority doing and become resentful when they are punished for it while those in authority continually get away with it.

You mean like, "Oh, I forgot to pay those taxes," until a person is nominated for a high position in government? (Say, a cabinet post?):mad:

Try "forgetting" to pay your taxes for a year or two and see where it gets you.

To sum up a few of the previous posts, Inconsiderate People in general, Inconsiderate Drivers especially. Here are some that really bug me though:

• Drivers that race up a slowing lane of traffic of the freeway, then flip on their signal and want in at the last minute.
• Drivers that think the "gore zone" at an on-ramp or off-ramp is there for them to pass or merge.
• Drivers that wave out another car from a parking lot when the light in front of us is green. Maybe you're being considerate to that one car, but you are being very inconsiderate to the cars behind you. Wave them out as you come up to a red light.
• People that use a relative's handicap pass to park closer. (Yes, I've witnessed this...in my own family!)
