In no particular order, here are some random things that piss me off: 1. Drivers who don't use turn signals. 2. People who go through the drive-through at the coffee shop and order $100 worth of coffee and sandwiches. 3. HOV lanes. 4. People who talk far too loudly on their cell phones. 5. Infrequent flyers at the airport who hold up lines and departure times because they don't know what they're doing. There needs to be a separate airport for noobs and rookies. 6. garamet. Fellow Wordforgers, please feel free to add to the list.
Neighbors who think it's okay to play their music loud enough for everyone on the block to hear. Especially when it's music I hate. Especially on a nice day when I'm trying to relax and read on the porch. That turn signal thing you mentioned. Loud lawn care. It CAN'T be necessary t0 use a leaf blower (or three) that's louder than an F-15 at takeoff power (or three), just to move clipped grass around, for almost a whole hour. Lane-splitting bikers. Unsolicited sales calls. Especially at dinner time, or in the late evening when we've sat down to watch TV. Traffic jams. People at work who work so hard they don't know what time it is, and bring work for me to do at quitting time that they need at 8 AM. Work.
People who carry on their conversation in a doorway. Yeah, what are the odds somebody may be entering or exiting that room? Gotta be a million to one, you fucktards. Non-driving shitstains: no signalling, running stop signs (hey nobody's coming so why not? And if they are, I can pull out in front of them, they won't mind) not turning on their headlights when it's raining, dark, or worse yet both of these things. Bags (potato chips depending on the brand for example) that won't stay closed when you roll up the opening! Fuck me running, I'll pay extra if it means your bags can be resealed properly without having to put a clamp on them! Putting a scope on a muzzle loader. Really, a scope? Weather that won't make up it's mind. Dump the rain, then move on out and let the sun do it's thing. Quit pussy-footing around!
Unsolicitied sales calls - when you are on the do not call list. Traffic. Endless, endless traffic. Giving to charities, then having the bastards sell your informaton and receiving hundreds of more phone calls. Never, ever again will I donate over the phone - I did so after 911 and is still hasn't stopped. My sports team being complete idiots. Or as my wife calls it during football season, 'angry sunday.' Oh, and family members outside of my immediate family being stupid and self-destructive. Outside of that, I guess I have it pretty good at the moment.
Slow walkers on crowded sidewalks. People who ride the subway for that once a year baseball game/concert/major event who don't know how to crowd on to the train and stand in the way of those of us who know it's not too crowded to board. People wandering around, staring at their phones. Drivers who turn in front of bicyclists. People who call but have nothing in particular they want to talk about. But I'm going to see Van Halen tomorrow, so fuck all those losers.
People who endanger (and sometimes kill) children and pets by leaving them in parked cars in the summer. What gets me is why do people leave their damn windows shut tighter than a dicks hats band (one of my dads favorite expressions in the old days). Why not routinely leave your windows down several inches. Makes the car cooler when you get back in them anyway. It will make no difference security wise.
Every fucking DAY here! Especially a main hallway entrance into an area that's literally a half acre of cubicles with a couple hundred people. I've actually lost it once or twice and yelled at the people blocking it. Ya know there's a conference room right inside there?
People cruising in the left lane at or below the speed limit, causing a bottleneck of angry normal people behind them, often precipitating a series of risky maneuvers by said angry people when the tiniest opportunity to pass comes up. I occasionally hear the excuse "They're going the speed limit!" Well, whoop de fucking doo, the left lane is not for doing the speed limit, it's for passing all the pansies who are doing the speed limit!
Unless it saws "left lane for passing only" that isn't true. I cruise at the speed limit in the left lane quite a bit because it is often noticeably smoother than the right lane.
Yours and Chardmans constant use of this stupid "kill yourself" response is one of the reasons that Wordforge these days sucks.
That one I've gotta agree with. Anyone that goes to that, or repeats the same stupid gif hundreds of times, is someone who I don't think is that bright.
It's like I can see your foreheads bulging, your eyes becoming beady, you picking your ears, and you having a distinct need to check the No Spin Zone as you type.
HOV funny: in Seoul Korea our motor pool/main office was actually "off base" by a couple of blocks and we had to use the HOV lane or we would wait forever to merge, which in itself is dangerous. Just the way it played out exit-wise. But the HOV lane had a camera on it so they could catch the cheaters. So it became a tradition of ours to flip the camera the bird and smile at the camera whever we passed under it!
Maybe you Canadians just are too stupid to do them right? Here in California you can get on and off the freeway from the HOV lane without having to cut across the other five lanes.
People that refer to FoxNews as "News". Ignorant dickheads. Likewise, people who think that their stupid posts are somehow deserving of more than the same stupid gif. Here's a hint: If ya don't like the gif of Bender laughing even harder, stop posting shit that deserves nothing more than Bender laughing even harder. These complete strangers:
Independent study after study have proven that HOV lanes actually create traffic and provide no net overall benefit. Yet hippie leftie governments keep building them, all in the name of environmentalism and social engineering. If you don't believe me, do a google search on "HOV lanes" and "accidents" or "congestion".
Yep, they do. Lane additions, whether of the HOV variety or the open free for all variety only add to the number of drivers selecting that route. More lanes = more traffic.
