1. People leaving garbage in my car. I don't care if you drink or eat in my car if I'm driving, but take your damn garbage with you.

2. Queer Channel Radio stations that play the same artists 40 times a day. I honestly don't think the Red Hot Chili Peppers Greatest Hits album ever comes of of 94.9 Zeta (Miami)'s player! At least play something off of Uplift Mofo Party Plan!

3. Old Drivers - Definately since I've moved to God's Waiting Room.

4. Fast Talking New Yorkers. You guys know what I'm talking about. The one's that tell YOU what they're going to pay for YOUR product. AAAAAaagh.

5. Not at all Racist, but the Cubans and Hispanics down here that try to talk to you in Spanish and then get mad at you because you don't understand! Sorry, I speak English. Maybe you should assimilate (sp?).

Douche bags that throw their lit cigarette butts out their car windows. I wish their vehilces would explode after doing that or I should be able to drive in front of them and toss used TP out my window at them

i know what you mean, esp. when riding a motorcycle!! its happened several times to me on my bike, i actually one time had the cig. hit me and land on my lap little did the lady know that hit me with that i would follow her til she stopped and then hand it back to her, she about shit herself

There is alot of shit that bugs me but that would take forever but one thing that sticks in my head right now(which i just seen a few moments ago) is when you see people in their cars smoking with kids in the car and the stereo system blaring right behind the kids seat, i mean what the F@#$ sure you need to let them here some good music but not blow there hearing out!!

Actually...cockroaches. And it's true to some extent. As is getting sick from soda cans having rat piss/fecal matter and cockroach eggs on it too.
There was a show on tv the did Believe it or Nots....found out what things were truth. What things were absoblute bunk. There have been proven cases. Doesn't happen very often (think playing lottery and hitting the gazillian dollars with power ball)...but it has happened.

I really don't like it when I do my taxes in February and mail in the fed's right away for a refund. Then, stash the local and state returns for mailing on April 15th and discover them, unsent, in a file cabinet in mid-November.

I don't like people who drive below the speed limit. Or those idiots who stop in the middle of a major highway to go around an amish buggy at 10 mph. I almost hit one of each the other day due some ass doing that....

Sorry Folks, I am one of those pot bellied drivers who drives under the speed limit, although I am not single and I drive a 1991 Plymouth Voyager that smokes like hell.

Thats Ok, John, I don't like the impatient people that think they are gonna get so far ahead by driving like an asshole, you know the ones that have no consideration for anyone else on the road, the "I'm more important and I'm in a hurry so get outta my way" type people. The same ones that pass me like I'm standing still every morning when going through a school zone out here on 422. The ones not smart enough to think " Hey , If I keep driving like this I may hurt someone " You know the type right ?

He, I'm a leadfoot. Can't help it, I always need to be somewhere 5 minutes ago...It's my life style.

Here's one of my peeves that I alsmost became a victim of on Monday afternoon.

I've always been a fan of 4-wheel drive, but folks, it don't mean shit when you're braking on ICE. I was on RT.26 going back to work from my lunch break, and there's a little side street near the new intersection at Blue Course Drive. Well, I saw the guy in a new Dodge Ram flying down the side street, and I could tell from looking at him that he wasn't going to get stopped. I slowed down and got into the middle lane, and sure enough, none of his wheels were rotating, but he was still moving... fast. He came 3/4 of the way into my lane, (I could hear his tires chirp and squeal when he hit the main road), but since I anticipated it, he didn't hit me.

Still made my heart race though.

Staceman · Post by **Staceman** » Wednesday Feb 16, 2005

Major pet peeve for me, is people who don't answer email, when there was definitely something in the message (like, a question or two) that warranted a reply. Especially when it's someone you thought you were cool with. It proves to you that they just looked at your message, and said "screw him/her, they don't deserve a reply".

Or, people who do answer, but don't reply to everything you had asked in your message. Like, a 3 word reply to several paragraphs. Man I hate that.

Mackovyak · Post by **Mackovyak** » Wednesday Feb 16, 2005

Yeah, there's no need to drive like a maniac. Or the people who drive like that in their Mercedes or BMW and look at you like you should move out of the way when you're cleary doing 5 over the speed limit, just because you're in a jeep. Screw 'em.

On the other hand, speed limit is 40 on US1 in most places. You know it's winter season when the cars begin traveling at 15-20 mph in the center lane and amazing enough, you can't see anyone driving.

-----------------------

I also hate people who go the wrong way in the bike lane. Is pedaling with traffic a hard concept to follow? There's arrows painted on the lane for God's sake!

Post by **Jim Price** » Wednesday Feb 16, 2005

Not a grievance, but this past Monday I saw an old man in a minivan turn right (the wrong direction) from 17th Street onto Pleasant Valley Boulevard (going one way in the other direction). I happened to be following a Logan Township cop, who immediately put his colored lights on to greet the bluehair...It was good for a chuckle.

Another grievance - on a narrow sidewalk or hallway, slow moving pairs of people who walk side-by-side and insist on taking up the whole width of walkway, so nobody can move around them. It makes me feel like playing linebacker...

All of the driving stuff mentioned above bites my ass. I'm normally a very calm person but insanity on the road bothers me.

As a sort of addendum to the walking slowly in hallways... I was at Monroeville Mall the other day for the 1st time in a long time. The amount of people that just stood in the walkways like they owned it was staggering.

Also... this one really really bites my ass...

Say you're at a place like Sheetz or Eckerd, where they have more than one cash register at the front, and theirs an obious bank-syled line formed with the next person in line going to the next available register (common courtesy, right?)... the donkey-raping shit eaters who pretend they don't notice, or just flat out don't care or think they're in more of a hurry or more deserving & whip in behing someone at a register, but in front of the forimg line.

Man, those people should just be wiped off of the planet.

I hate when you wanna see a chick naked and she won't take her clothes off... Like it's a big deal !! Lets see the shit baby !! Oh yeah and when you want blown and they won't do that either ! Almost forgot that one .

1) I hate locked doors when there seems to be no reason for it. Like for instance when I worked in a restaurant you always had to run down a manager to get a towel out of the locked linen closet, or cleaning supplies out of the locked chemical closet (no good chemicals either). Plenty of opputunity to steal these things besides taking them out of the closet, so I don't get it. I just hate limited access...if you have doors use them. This is because we live in a paranoid country with people getting paid to simply make up rules for the sake of their being rules.
2) I hate girls who call me before going out to see what I'm wearing. Can't you use a little creativity and dress yourself?
3) I hate papercuts
4) I hate when guys spit, esp. in the kitchen sink. And why must you spit anyway? And why must you brag to us that you can pee anywhere?

Here's a biggie for me...CELL PHONE ABUSE!!!

If you can't be detached from your cell phone conversations for the five minutes it takes you to go into a grocery store to buy a loaf of bread, you have some problems! When I used to work retail (at Coconuts, R.I.P.), I remember trying to ring this one woman up at the cash register, she was more interested in her cell phone conversation than making sure I gave her back the proper change! I probably could have handed her candy bar wrappers and bottle caps, she probably would have never noticed!

I don't know if it still exists on the internet, but about 2 years ago I saw this video of these two guys who dressed up in cell phone outfits, and then went on roving patrols to "bust" cell phone abusers. When they found somebody abusing or being loud and obnoxious with a cell phone, they would grab the phone, throw it on the ground and stomp on it, and then run off. It was HILARIOUS! Most of their victims looked shocked; one guy got all pissed off and chased them a mile down the road!

I need to see this, sounds like a warped version of Trigger Happy TV...

Here's another driving related one... You are riding in the passenger seat of a car, and the driver has to look over at you every time they speak.

I always just say... "I'm listening, I can't help but hear you, you're only 2 feet away, keep your eyes on the road".

And to JP... I really dislike cell phones. I've never had a cell phone account, and I never will. In my view they have one good use: emergencies.
I used to keep an old thrown away cell phone and charger in my car just for emergencies, no account or anything. As long as it will transmit, you can dial 911. But... the battery charger died and a replacement was too much money for something I luckily never had to use.
I'll get another cast away one sometime soon.

Bad drivers make me hostile. Here's some more unforgivable driving sins that haven't been mentioned:

Taking an inhumanly long time to make a right turn. It's not brain surgery, eh?
Slowing down to a near stop before getting into a turning lane.
Trying to merge into highway traffic at 35 MPH.

And some music-related sources of personal agony:

Breaking strings.
Getting halfway through a solo and realizing I am completely out of ideas. This happens about, oh, every song or so . . .
Mic grabbers. (You know, the self-designated drunken backup singers.)
Michael J. Cox

And one professional wrestling gripe:

The obligatory 20-minute HHH monologue every Monday night. (JP, you going to RAW this Monday? Watch for the HF1/SideStep section!)

i cant stand stupid people. you know the type. the ones that you explain the same thing over and over and over and they never get it. i work with one. i have been trying to teach him how to run tv and phone lines. its not hard. you go from j box to wherever the homeowner wants it. there is a floor plan showing exactly where to put it. he has been trying for almost six months and still has no idea. i havent even begain to try explaining the complicated stuff yet. at this rate it will take him several years.

i have my driver experiences nearly every day. i live in greenwood so i get to see the 17th street madness constantly. the area right in front of the new sheets has got to be the worst. there are two turning lanes people!!! not one .........two. if you are in the left lane stay in the left lane. if you are in the right stay in the right. why is it people see that intersection as the perfect opertunity to change lanes. i have been in two accidents on that very same intersection.
