    His license plate read "LOLGAS"

    Women will say much more through text rather than through talking. So it's easier to open up avenues..

    Most likely, that woman was deceptive, and did not want to have a voice conversation, due to the presence of a stud like raj in the midst.

    A just point, but I was specifically referring to this one jerkhole on my bus who does this every day at the second to the last stop before the "everybody off" stop. So it's only to gain him those extra 10 seconds. It just annoys the snot out of me.

    Drivers who won't turn right on red even though there is no sign or warning about not making right turns at this red light.

    It is NOT ATH-A-LETE.

    People who think drinking a flavored vodka is manly.

    *rubs hands*

    -THE PACK. You know what I'm talking about. Either in cars or in a crowded public area, this phenomenon grates on my last nerve. Groups of people bunch up for no apparent reason and go slower. Maybe it's some protection instinct. GET THE HELL OUT OF MY WAY. Sure, life is about the journey, but the actual journey I'm making to get to the good part of the journey shouldn't involve slow-asses in my way at every step.

    -SLOW TRAFFIC KEEP RIGHT. That means if someone is faster than you in the left lane, YOU ARE SLOW. Get the hell over and let them pass.

    -CHECKERS WHO THINK. Don't think about what I'm giving you. Just put the numbers in the machine and let it tell you the change I'm due. It's why you're a checkout person. If my total is $7.23, and I give you a ten, two ones and .23 cents, if you can't calculate that in an instant to be a five-dollar bill, just don't try. It's best not to think on it. Also, don't think about a price match or a sale or a price that doesn't seem right. If the bloody price comes up as .01, that's the price. I know it is right because I'm a deal hound. Don't screw it up for everyone- go buy some yourself instead of calling your equally stupid manager.

    Wow. Aside from being a genuinely nice person, now I know why D really married you... Sweet sassy molassy.

    I call that the hill phenomenon. Go up I-45 and watch how traffic can do an accordion thing when you get to a hill. Something else that gets me is that traffic on a major freeway should NEVER reach a complete stop unless there is an accident.

    You must be talking about the Clear Lake area, where it is the worst along that stretch.

    i hear so many people saying "REAL-A-TOR" on the east coast that it has made me wonder if they're somehow right.

    but i know they're not. who the f is teaching these people that word? Why didn't I hear it growing up in texas?

    People who take pictures of each other and purposely put a expensive drink in the photo so people could see. Nobody gives a ****.

    Dudes with harley's who think their harley is faster than a superbike, no just stop it before I embarrass you in front of your hippo girlfriend.

    A couple more, based on this bland joint I just ate at:

    -Mexican restaurants with store-bought tortillas

    -Mexican restaurants that charge for tortillas.

    -Dallas

    1) People who are rude to waiters/waitresses. 2) Cheap tippers. These seem to go hand in hand. Anybody that turns into some kind of Bobby Knight service perfectionist when they go out to eat needs to just stay home.

    3) People who have no sense of community space. Let explain this- if a sizable crowd is walking down stairs, or traversing an airport terminal, it's not ok to stop just anywhere to have a conversation. No man is an island! Rather than finding a space out of everyone else's way, too many people expect other people to flow around them. Nuh-unh.

    4) Hairdressers who want to have in-depth conversations. Concentrate on your job! You aren't really interested in me, so let's not pretend, ok?

    5) Lou Dobbs.

    - People who take a long time to decide if they want to turn. They'll drive very slowly all of a sudden, look around (especially in a commercial area), and you can almost 'see' them debate in their heads if they want to turn, and then thy finally do it - slowly..

    -Teenage assholes in jacked-up trucks hoping to race you. They'll also blatantly check out your GF/wife while they're at it.

    -Water cooler racist jokes followed by a "I'm not a racist, really" comment.

    -Guys who act like they know everything about sports.
    They'll even regurgitate ESPN's comments and pass them off as their own.

    -People who chew gum with their mouth open.

    -Terrible waiters/waitresses that expect a tip after lousy service.

    -Pennies.

    -Most clothes are designed for fat people. And if you want fitted, you need to spend a lot more money unless you live in places like NYC with H&M.

    Barry Warner & John Lopez. BMoney got Lou Dobbs already but that's a great one.

    People that smack on their food loudly. I know you're hungry but calm down son!
