On-Road Pet Peeves.....

I really hate this guys, with crappy cars, i mean a really crappy car, trying to act "fast and furious" just because they added some decals, neon lights, a louder exhaust tip... they think they have the coolest car ever.... damn those guys.... i always look at them like: well, i can see why you are furious, but where is the fast??

 

People that slow down to turn into a driveway and they have to come to almost a complete stop in the lane and then turn, when theres noone else coming in the other direction. Move the hell over.

Teens that try to impress their girlfriends by how much noise their car can make trying to get around you in traffic. Then flip you off when you blow their ass off and make them look stupid cuz they didnt realize their 91 Chevy Beretta does not run with a Mustang GT.

The list could go on, those are the two that come to mind.

 

My pet-peeve about driving...

People don't realize that the other cars on the road have people inside. To them it is just another car to get around or piss off. People, this isn't a video game or an imaginary race. Half the time, I would rather walk into a room where everyone had guns than a Wal-Mart parking lot. You have a better chance of being hit with a car than hit with a bullet (even if they wanted to shoot you).

Vehicles are weapons in the hands of the inexperienced, impaired, or irresponsible.

 

I certainly understand this and can sympathize but I also hate the a-holes who push the limit by trying to be the second or third guy after the left turn light turns red. Nothing more annoying than your light turning green but you have to sit there because Mr. I'm-in-a-rush is still making his turn. This is just as bad as running a red, hell it is running a red. I like to just lay on the horn for these guys. Sometimes you can scare the beejeezus out of someone cause they think they're about to get hit.

I also love the folks who are random wanderers and ride or cross over the line into your lane. My favorite thing to do to these douches is pull slightly ahead of them and start drifting into their lane, then act like nothing's wrong when they honk or give you the evil eye. Not the smartest things to do but very satisfying.

Finally, I ride a motorcycle and I hate every frickin Mustang, Camaro, Riced-out Civic, WRX, (insert sports car here) who thinks they can race a sportbike. Are you serious? I've got news for everyone out there, unless you have $20,000 in modifications to your car or you have a fancy import car that costs a quarter million YOU CAN'T EVEN HANG with a modern sportbike. I don't stunt but most bikes can smoke a car while riding a wheelie. No joke.

 

i agree about people stopping in traffic. that also goes for people that dont know how to merge onto the highway. i hate when people creep down the on ramp then by the end they come to a complete stop and then have to wait for an even bigger gap so they can get up to 60+ mph again. they call it merging for a reason!

yeah that one drives me crazy

yeah, that reminds me of the guys that have too much money on their hands so they take their truck to a shop and leave it for 6 months so they can enter some kind of "race" then as soon as they get it back they burn the tires in the parking lot, then run it head on into a pile of dirt, get it stuck then have to roll it right back into the shop..... idiots.....

dude, you're posts always make me laugh the hardest! i love all the random hilarious pictures you find!

 

People who don't take care of or neglect their TACOMAS!!

 

Roland wont read this that till tomorrow, its past 4:00pm, he's already gone to bed for the night

 

that would be me, i neglect the hell out of mine, i didnt buy it to baby it i bought it to trash it and have it still running fine 10 years later. Toyotas are made to be abused

 

oh yeah i got one! people who are CLEARLY in the wrong, (run a red light, fail to yield, pull out in front of you etc...) then flick you off when you honk at them!

 

also, people who are at front at a red light, then sit there when it turns green cause they are too busy on their phone or reading the paper, then when you tap your horn, they look back at you and flick you off, like you're the stupid one...

 

People that pass only to turn 100 yds up the road. <--They do this when I'm driving an 80,000lb loaded garbage truck way too often.

people that drive slow in the no-passing zone, then speed up in the passing zone

Business people that drink coffee, eat a muffin, read the paper, work on their laptop, all at the same time while driving.....they do that around here.

 

people that have to drive all the way to the end of an on ramp to get on the highway when there were at least 2-5 chances to get in. they don't realize that this is the reason traffic backs up during rush hour. i have to deal with this everyday getting on to 95.

 

people pulling out in front of you....no one behind you for miles, then turning at the very next road......30 friggin yards away.......have patience people!!!

on the interstate.....i really hate big trucks/tractor trailers drifting into your lane, almost making you run off the road.
people who talk on their cell phones on the interstate especially(anywhere when they are driving really), people who ride their brakes, people who change lanes like its a sport, people who try to show off.........while just making themselves look stupid as hell......cant stand that shit. and tailgaters.........they really give me serious road rage.....and people who haul ass in a residential zone.......ass whoopins need handed out!!!!

im sure there are more, but im too tired to think of anymore right now!!!

 

definitely forgot that one.......drunk drivers piss me off to no end!!!!!

 

Pedestrians that cross the street without looking and take their time doing it.
