Driving pet peeves

Has anybody mentioned the jackwad that takes 10 minutes to creeeeep past the semi next to him, then finally eases out of the passing lane - then speeds up 15 mph when he gets in the right lane? WTAF is that?

 

heres a parking related one. Ok for instance in our VA medical facility theres parking and the spots are angled on both sides as you come in so the flow of traffic goes in one certain direction. While at our last appointment we are looking for a parking space and this gal turns her turn signal on like shes turning up where we are going. problem is its only wide enough for one car, and she was going against the flow of traffic. I pointed to her to keep going around and she backs up still trying to turn up the wrong way. After about the 3rd time she figured it out and went around the parking lot in the correct flow.

 

I hate drivers going 5 mph slower than me and the bastards going 5 mph faster than me ..

 

people in general that drive slow on a single lane road (or next to a semi truck on a 2 lane road) and get all pissy when you try and go around them by speeding up to prevent you from doing so. Like WTF do you expect me to do, drive behind you the rest of my life?

 

The idiot drivers on the Cajon Pass !!!!!

 

I have a parking pet peeve. You're driving around in a parking lot looking for a parking spot. Someone comes out of the store and gets in their car. You pull up waiting for them to leave. But NEWOUGH!! Rather than leaving and opening up the spot. They have to start texting. Sitting there taking up the spot for someone that needs it.
Really pisses me off.

 

Or worse yet, they start their car and then just sit there on their phone with reverse lights on and foot on the brake.

 

That's exactly what I'm talking about. You see them get in their car, start it up, brake or back-up lights come on, and then? Nothing. They just sit there there like a 80 year old constipated woman trying to take a dump.

 

I hate the no turn signal quick lane change going uphill NB . You're doing 65-70 mph in your lane and some who doesnt like being slowed down frantically lane changes into your lane . This slows your momentum down causing cars behind you to brake check

Also in inclement weather ..... Rain , Snow or fog slow the F*** down and keep a couple car lengths between . A few weeks ago I was heading down the pass and fog was so thick maybe under 50ft visibility I had cars passing me like I was standing still . I was going 45mph as was the majority of the cars with hazard lights on

On Christmas Day I was heading SB down the hill at the exact moment there was that 35 car accident . I was almost near Oak Hills when I started seeing cars crashing into ea other

This accident would've been avoided if the drivers were more aware of icy conditions and slowing down

 

Here's the 35 car pile up on the NB lanes of the Cajon Pass at the Summit . All road condition signs in the Pass had "Icy conditions " on them yet this was the outcome !!!!

I hate shopping center parking lots, and this is one of the reasons I cut across the parking spaces instead of driving closer to the shops where all of the stop signs and crosswalks are located...

I drove to PetSmart to get some stuff for my fish tank, and when leaving the shopping center while PetSmart is located, I encountered an asshole in a blue 2008-2010ish Toyota Corolla. This guy was sitting at a crosswalk, but there was nobody crossing. I beeped the horn, and he gave me a "WTF?" gesture. At this point, everybody and their mother started leaving the store, and this dickhead started waving everybody across. He had to force people to cross who weren't read to do so, all in the name of getting revenge on me for beeping at him. So, all the people cross and he gets going, albeit very slowly. He turned on his right signal and and moseyed through a right turn. I eventually got pissed off and drove around him, which prompted him to beep at me.

So that makes two things I hate...

Parking lots, and people who decide to teach other motorists a lesson...

 

I posted this once before:

 

City cops vs. suburban cops...

My friend's brand new Subaru got hit by a drunk driver while parked in front of his house in Philadelphia, and the damage was relatively minor, but it's the principal of the thing. My friend got the license plate number of the car that hit his and called the cops. The cops said there was nothing they could do and his insurance company picked up the tab for fixing the Subaru.

Back in 2013, someone called the cops on me in Doylestown for taking pictures in public, and half the fucking police department shows up!

This applies to driving because in the city, police have bigger fish to fry, but in the suburbs they will pull you over for an inspection sticker being one day past expiration and then start handing out tickets for every little thing they can find.

 

Fucking Priuses.

 

I drove my aunt's Prius V once, and one thing about it that really pisses me off is that it beeps when you are in reverse. WTF?

 

A Prius in the fast lane, - always wrong.

 

I saw a Bentley Continental GT in that mess!

 

Call me a weirdo, but I think the Prius V is so cool. It's a wagon that gets 40+ mpg!

My tastes generally lean toward fast import cars, but I do love me a good Prius wagon.
