    Does anyone have any?!?!?! :mad:

    What is it that pisses you off on the road?

    *Driving 40 in the left lane when the speed limit is 45!

    Why cant the old geezers, or the people talking on the phone drive in the right freakin lane!

    *Two cars driving 40 right next to each other when the speed limit is 45!

    Get a clue you bastards!

    * Parking in two different lanes!

    Especially the 50 year olds driving Corvettes who do it on purpose to show off. You dont look cool when you do that! People who dont do it on purpose SUCK as well though.

    * Driving past someone in the left lane only to come back in the right lane and stopping right at the red light.

    WTF! This pisses me off alot! I was just about to make a right dumbass!

    * Driving past someone in the right lane only to come back in the left lane to slow down traffic!

    AAAAAAAhhhh!


    What is pissing you off today?

    All pet peeves of mine. I like to drive 50 in 30-35 zones. And 75-85 on the freeway. Get the hell out of the left hand lane, if you are going to go speed limit or below!

    I also hate those slow drivers who cut in front of you, only to drive slow.

    I hate it on a two lane street...at a light...when the light goes red. there are two cars in the one beside you and you will be the guy leading your lane...but then one of the guys in the other lane decides to get in front of you. So i assume...alright, i guess he's gonna jump the gun and i'll be fine...but then he drives like a f***cking grandpa...and goes back in the other lane after holding me up proving that he never needed my f***ing lane...dammit...i could have been at my destination by the time he pulls out of in front of me.

    How about the people who drive in the left hand lane on highways 5 mph over the speed limit? They think just because they're driving over the speed limit, they have the right to be in the left hand lane. Screw that. The sign says "SLOWER TRAFFIC KEEP RIGHT". That means if you drive 5 mph over the speed limit, your ass should be in the right hand lane behind the trailer doing the speed limit, allowing people doing 10 mph over the speed limit to use the left hand lane.

    I hate uptight drivers who are totally impatiant and get their panties all in a bunch because it'll take them 3 more minutes to get to the mall. I hate unsafe drivers who have to go twice the speed limit. What, are they too good to drive at a safe speed? I hate people who go around me on a two-lane road, and then I end up behind them at the next light -- what the hell did you gain from that . . .

    So if you're doing 10 mph over the limit in the left lane, does the guy behind you wanting to do 15 over get to b**** about you?

    I was just throwing out numbers, but basically I meant if you're in the left hand lane and you see someone in your rear view mirror, the courteous thing to do is switch lanes. Allow the car to pass you then return to the left lane. Dont' stay in the left lane just because you are doing over the speed limit.

    Agreed, provided it is safe to switch lanes at the time.

    I hate when people merge on a freeway going about 30 when traffic is moving 65+. God thats irritating. Wouldnt logic say that you would want to join traffic at the speed its moving?

    At least some Houston freeways have a lane designed for exiting/entering the freeway.

    In Austin, its on ramp, immediate merge...sometimes the on ramp becomes a parking lot.

    It's pretty funny when I'm taking my sweet time driving safely and someone flies by me risking everyone's life and a couple minutes later we are right next to each other at a red light. It happens all the time. Slow down, live another day, don't kill someone else because you were on the internet five minutes too long.:D

    People driving out of control also pisses me off big time. I just wish people would be more considerate of others while driving.


    Just about two days ago I was driving close to my house. Its about 5:30pm which means heavy traffic. Well I come to a light, its green, but the traffic is bad in the front that if I went any further I would be blocking the intersection. Well so I obviously dont move any further. Well this stupid ass person behinds me decides to start honking away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its not as if he/she could not see in front of me. I was in a smaller car, while he/she was driving a huge ass SUV. After I've given them the finger, it decides to get in the right lane, pass me up and clog the intersection.

    Nice going you r****ded b****. :rolleyes:

    Another thing that pisses me off is when I'm getting out of a parking lot and have to make a right. Well I come to the median on the right hand side and what happens? The r****ds driving in the lane I'm trying to get into stop right besides me on the right (instead of passing me up and standing on my left) and wait to make a left. Then they give me the most perplexed and dumbest looks imaginable. grrrrr........:mad:

    I think this is pretty funny. A school bus was dropping kids off on a 4 lane road with a median (Dairy Ashford). I was driving the opposite way as the bus so I didn't stop but since it was a school zone I had slowed down. I saw this car also driving slow in the other lane as the bus (same direction). But instead of stopping for the bus, the car continued driving. So for like 3 seconds, I got my :mad: face on and started doing the head shake as I drove by. The woman driving the car saw me and we made eye contact for that time so I know for sure she saw me. I bet she felt bad after that. I just laughed it off later and turned the radio up even louder.

    Nothing pisses me off more than school zones that are in effect and hour before the school ends, and an hour+ after the school ends.

    I am a very aggressive driver by nature, as a result of learning in Houston. There's nothing better than hauling ass on the freeway. I weave my way in and out of traffic frequently.
