    if you have a gas leak in your house, do NOT call the gas company. call your plumber.

    the gas company will just shut off your gas and literally take your meter away. that means they won't return it until your house is up to their codes and standards and will cost you A LOT of money.

    the plumber will shut off the gas, find your leak and fix it, and turn the gas back on.

    trust me, this cost me about $1300 more than it should have.

    Actually, don't call anybody. The phone could cause a spark, igniting the gas (and you).

    Go to a friend's house and call :D

    I was under the assumption that you can only take a left turn on red if both the streets are one-way.

    Kudos to the "couldn't care less" crew. That drives me crazy

    i think he means as long as there's no opposite traffic for the turner to yield to, which is basically what you're saying.

    Every man should know how to change a tire and jump start a car.. I don't care how well off you are, if you don't know how you're not much of a man IMO..

    Yep. I probably should have worded it the other way though.

    Calling someone "bro" is second only to "brah" on the "lamest things you can call someone" scale. Never call me bro unless you want me to think you're a f*cking tool.

    As long as you DO get over, I'm okay with that. However, if you choose to continue going 50 MPH in the left lane, then you and I have a problem, because nothing in this world aggravates me more than slow drivers with zero empathy. I'm not on the road for a Sunday stroll. My view of driving is to get from point A to B in a timely fashion going as fast as I am comfortable (and feel safe) driving (which can be 10-15 miles over the speed limit, depending on the type of road). Get in my way (which I define as going 5 MPH or slower than me), and I WILL try to pressure you to get over, by either tailgating (not excessively, mind you) or swerving slightly (so as to get you to notice me in your rear view mirror). Sorry, but if you refuse to acknowledge that there ARE other drivers on the road, then I will do what I must to drive the point home. Deal with it. (And keep in mind, I'm talking generally and not specifically to you.)

    Sorry for the derail. 99% of the time I'm a total lax and chill guy, but this issue really gets me heated (as do other driving problems). Gotta rant somewhere.

    my new neighbor is a Miss Hawaiian Tropic winner...invited me over for dinner...................and......


    I politely declined! I think my beautiful wife of less than a year would have gotten a tad upset (ya think?) OR she could have said, "SCORE!!!!!!!" I really didn't want to test those waters! :cool:

    This bothers me less than drivers who "cut" into a busy lane therefore slowing down another entire lane as well as impeding the forward progress of the busy lane.

    The funny thing is that most drivers who tend to ride people in the fast lane also tend to nearly always cut into the busy lane.

    I don't do that, and yes, that bothers me, too. People who try to cut over at the last second of an exit (like, oh, say, the bridge from I-10 to the tollway) should have their genitals stomped on. Wait in line like the rest of us. Also, if you're faced with a lane merge during traffic, and you fail to adhere to the "left-lane-car-merges-then-right-lane-car-merges" standard mentality and instead speed up as to NOT let the other car in, then I should have the right to drag you out of your car, skullf*** you, light you on fire, and piss on your ashes. Besides, it's likely you're a giant douchebag, anyway, so no one will truly miss you.
