    Yeah yeah yeah I get it but there's a difference between an instance where people are courteously merging like a zipper all's well and good, and the scenario where you clearly have the asshole who's just gunning it to the front of the line. You know em' when you see em'..

    Exercise to get rid of that excess rage. Breathing techniques help me. Also just stop giving a shit about stuff you can’t control. After my kid came into the world I realized to stop giving so much energy to the small stuff. I just turn on a song I really like and start jamming. Queen- Bohemian Rhapsody is a great song to jam away the stress to. You got tinted windows now so just drum solo away.

    I saw a 3 car road rager going on. Speeding down the street, 2 cars stopped side by side having words. 3rd guy pulls up behind and jumps out and runs up to the other and starts screaming. That guy pulls the miracle needle threading and somehow squeaks in between the 2 cars in front of him, turns hard right and punches it. The other guy runs back to his car, jumps in, turns hard right and goes after the other guy. 3rd guy went straight and called it quits at that point. Peoples needs to chill.

    When someone throws a cigarette butt out the window that inevitably goes under my truck in a shower of embers; not a good feeling when you're hauling a trailer full of hay. Considering the problem with out of control fires around here, I think offenders should be shot on site.:quickdraw:

    Also, not so much a pet peeve as a wonder, Prius owners that think they are going to save on gas driving with a lead foot :confused:.

    Modern police cars and all of their ultra bright lights and flashers. Utterly blinding at night or in inclement weather.

    On the other hand, police auction V8 Chargers are a wonderful thing.

    Don't bother saying anything to stupid drivers.
    They seem to get offended very easy. I told one guy to "PUT THE PHONE DOWN A-HOLE!" as he was texting while going past me.
    He tried to justify himself breaking the law by saying I shouldn't call him names. I guess I hurt his feeling.:sadviolin:
    I should have just let him get a ticket. (in Leftern WA., not likely.)

    @Gr8fl will know exactly what and where I am talking about...

    I was driving to work on 611, and I was about to get in the right lane so I could get off at the Doylestown exit just past the Shell station. I was accelerating to pass a vehicle in the right lane, and there an older model (2000-2003ish) silver Ford Taurus in front of me. I glanced to my right to make sure the right lane was clear, and then I looked in front of me just in time to see guy in the silver Taurus hit his brakes and turn on his left signal. I had to slam on my brakes. This would be totally my fault but for one thing...

    That section of 611 has four lanes, two going in each direction, plus a center lane for making left and right turns. This twatwaffle was attempting to make a left turn from the passing lane!

    I beeped, and the Taurus driver moved forward a few inches but didn't get over. I had my windows up so he couldn't hear me, but I was shouting "this is not a turn lane, you fucking idiot!" I laid on my this time, and he finally got the message and moved into the center lane. I beeped again as I drove past...

    People make mistakes and some people are stupid. You can’t control either one of them. I’ll beep but I quit screaming, they can’t hear you and it’s not worth the stress Charlie. Hope you learn that soon or you’re headed for an early grave. I think one day it will just click and you’ll mellow out. Just at the end of the day it makes you look like an asshole and you’ll stew about it longer then the offender.

    I gotta say I'm amazed at the mileage those things get even with a lead foot. In the Seattle area it seems 99% of Uber drivers use them, and they drive like they are running from something. I always watch the mileage on the big screen on the dash and they're always averaging right around 50mpg!

    For beeping at someone to avoid a collision? I thought I was going to be prying pieces of a shitty American-made sedan out of the front of my truck...

    Also, directly engaging with motorists and beeping at them for no reason is a big no-no...

    How would I get shot if he couldn't hear me?

    On that I agree, good you were paying attention. That’s absolutely not a turning lane (especially just before the divider...).
