The fact that you can actually frive a car with the emergency brake on . . . It's a "brake", right? And an "emergency" one at that!

People who think it's OK to go 100 Mph in a foot of snow just because they drive an SUV.

Rubberneckers.

Amen, amen, amen, amen. Ugh, this annoys me so friggin' much. I go and cross the street thinking all's clear, then some jackhole comes turning right at me and doesn't even slow down. :ar15:

I can't wait till there is transportation that uses sky...

I know there are helicopters, planes, and such but something that is smaller, slower, and has the ability to hover...

And not expensive too

NOO. its not like their car is gonna experience fatigue the way i am if i have to stop and wait on them. and i lost count the number of times i've nearly been hit by someone who likes to stop with their back tires on the stopline. :wall:


I saw a women hit a bicyclist today on campus, then she took off. I wrote down her plate number and gave it to the kid she nearly flattened.

Panhandlers. Especially the ones that feel compelled to spin some BS story about how they don't live around here, and need money to get home to east buttchuck, but for some reason can give me local directions when I ask them - then I point out their folly. At this point, they usually start cursing at me, and I point out that they're the ones who asked me for money in the first place. Buttheads.

When cycling, I get the same type of thing. I'm going straight and a car going in the same direction makes a right turn directly in front of me. If they could wait just 2-3 SECONDS, I'd get through the intersection ahead of them. It's just ridiculous how impatient people are.

Haha, that's awesome. I hope he uses it to stalk her and kill her. Would serve her right.

Panhandlers. There's this guy that shows up at an intersection by a Mall and about 10 different businesses and industrial parks. Dude's asking for a handout right next to "Now Hiring" signs. There is roughly 4400 jobs within one miles walking distance of this bastage! ARGGHH!

People who come over to my monitor (at work or home) and touch the friggin screen! Stop leaving your slimy tracks all over my pristine gaming surface! ARGGGH!!

People that just assume I'm gonna move out of THEIR way when I'm walking in a populated area like say a mall. Ladies with their damn baby strollers just use them as human bulldozers. Really pisses me off. One day I just shoulder checked like 20 people (guys, ladies, and old people) man it felt good to just smash em.

People that drive right on my ass when it's stop and go rush hour traffic.

All these damn cars with their headlights that blind me at night.

Loud useless conversations over cell phones, no one cares get a life.

Too funny! When I was vacationing in Rome, everyone just assumed that the dumb American would move out of their way on the sidewalk. So I devised a new strategy - every time I saw someone coming directly at me, I'd just put my head down and keep walking. They'd move every time.

Good one, Musashi! :beer:

How about, people who give money to panhandlers... those guys make better money standing on a corner than working a minimum wage job because enough people feel sorry for them.

Really, though, most people don't bother me.

My #1 daily pain in the ass is having to wait for my work PC to catch up with me.

You just need to be bigger or look meaner, I never have this problem :cool:

Just get a look on your face that says, "OK, the next ASSHOLE who even LOOKS at me wrong is getting frigging DISEMBOWELED, right here, right now... no lines, no waiting..."

People get out of your way, kinda like moses and the red sea :D


I REALLY hate those types of restaurants you go in, where if you give em a tip, they break into song, or let out some sorta war whoop or something...

Went to this place a while back that makes like specialty ice cream stuff, it's really good, but when the person in front of me in line gave em a tip, the perky little chick behind the counter gives out a "WOOO!" and rings a little dinner bell thing... I'm thinking to myself, "There is NO BLEEPING WAY these permasmile-having weirdos are getting a tip from me"

So I get up there to order, and the chick has the nerve to ask about the situation... so I told her. Look, you guys have something wrong with you I think, so to cure you of your whooping habits, you're getting no tip from me. CYA.

There's nothing wrong with being cheerful and everything, but damn, it's like these people had been taking SMILEX or something :roll:
