    Is there anything more annoying than when you are waiting at an intersection in the left-hand turn lane and the traffic lights cycle through without giving you a green light? I am on the road 8+ hours a day and this happens more than you would think. It drives me crazy. Oh, and what also annoys me is what I call "stupid" traffic lights. These are the lights that give a constant flow of traffic a red light only to give crossing traffic, when there is none, a green light. Oh, and don't get me started on the people who like to go straight in the right-hand turn lane at a red light when there are several people who are trying to make a right turn.

    :mad:

    Maybe I should find a new line of work...

    I hate rainbows...

    You'll just be sitting there, minding your own business, then they crawl up your leg and start biting the inside of your ass, and you're all like, "HEY! Get out of my ass, you stupid rainbows!!"

    God damn. I thought that only happened to me. I fight them real hard too. Because rainbows are not supposed to have the color brown and they're trying to steal mine.

    A traffic light turning red for no reason and you just sitting there like a moron with no other cars in sight is more annoying.

    Just because they have a rainbow sticker on their car doesn't make them a "rainbow."

    I suggest locking your doors in the future.

    I hate it when I get an itch on a foot, when the shoe is on. :mad:

    And don't get me started about when you sit down with wet swin trunks and your cheeks start itching. You start shifting and then the madness kicks in. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :mad: :mad:

    Then there's that time when you need to fart and can't let it rip, because people are around.

    I could go on and on and on...

    On some occasions, these lights have a sign that says "no left turn from 4-6 p.m." (or something like that) and the sign has either fallen off, or turned, or they forgot to add one. :( (North or Left turn from Westheimer at Fondren)

    You may have noticed these lights change their frequency from rush hour in the morning to rush hour in the afternoon. Such is the case of the light turning left (West) from HW6 onto Forest Trails, just before Clay Rd. It doesn't stay green long in the mornings, but it does in the afternoon. Barker Cypress Rd. at Clay also switches to a FAST frequency late at night.

    I agree, they should make "schmart" (a'la CaveMan therapy commercial) lights that know that there is no traffic on the side that has a green light, and shut it quickly to let the other traffic go by. :cool:
    For this, I recommend Tough-Actin' Tinactin or Gold-Bond. I use Gold Bond. It's mentholated, and it cools my feet's skin.
    Easy. Don't sit down when you get out of the pool. Remain standing.
    Either take a dump before the time you know you'll be in that crowd, or take Pepcid AC.
    Please do so. :eek:

    When people are walking from the parking area to the entrance of lets say HEB, instead of going straight across, they walk in an angle and take forever.

    And... are you walking behind them that you're annoyed? Why does that annoy YOU? :confused: If you have to wait for them, then go around. Don't let this bother you, man.

    Did you buy them :confused: ? How does their identity annoy YOU? "Then don't buy it... Mister annoyed..." - G-Lo

    The light near my house does the 'skip the green' at the intersection I go through to get to the 7/11 late at night. There is also a 'no turn on red' sign, so basically you just have to sit and sit until it finally cycles a green. Ridiculous.

    It's not athlete's foot. It's just one of those random things.
    I was in one of those shuttles that transports rafters
    My dump schedule is set. I don't have to take a dump. Just a little shift that generates an air bubble and a lonely fart. I've never taken GasX or Pepcid AC.

    Here are a few more:

    People that merge into your lane at slow speeds.screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeech!!! :mad: Move A-HOLE!!!

    When there is a long line at the Whataburger in the morning and it moves quick, until it gets to the person just in front of you, who cleans the place out. :mad: The good thing is that everything is fresh. :)
