Stupid Pet Peeves

[LogGrad98]

Agree with the parking lot thing. I just love it when a family of Walmart Hippos (sadly NOT an endangered species) is spread out across the entire width of the drive aisle, waddling their way forward at a snails pace, not looking around themselves at all, and maintain this formation all the way to the door. Btw, they continue this inside as well.

Closely tied to this is the moron that turns into an aisle and sees someone headed for their car, so they put on their turn signal and wait for a family of 8 to unload 3 carts into a crowded Suburban, then have to do a 15 point turn to back out to be able to drive away, all while a line of 30 cars forms behind the moron waiting for the space. Good hell it won't hurt the tiniest bit to walk an extra 30 feet to get into Walmart.

Aw come on. You can hate me, but I love to do this. Wave someone through when it's not their turn, then start to go when they start to go, then stop when they stop and wave them through again, then do it again. It is the most awesome thing. It makes my day better. See how many times you can do it before they snap.

It should be legal to shoot you.

Also it should be legal to ram your car or something for this 4-way stop thing.

another traffic related pet-peeve (in two parts)

part a: Drivers who don't stop before the sidewalk when exiting a parking lot/garage
part b: Drivers who whine about pedestrians as though every year hundreds of drivers are Killed by pedestrians


for some reason, autumn always seems to be the worst for this

I do a lot of driving(60-250 miles a day) but I also get my happy *** up and walk around. Drivers are 100 times worse than pedestrians.

LOL. Pedestrians on sidewalks are one thing, pedestrians who insist on using the street as though it's a sidewalk when there's a perfectly good sidewalk right there are another!!!!

People that shop at walmart. About once a year I go to Walmart thinking I will be quick and it won't be a complete nightmare. I always regret it.

Gotta know when to go, need to learn the Walmart Hippo migration and feeding patterns.

Do you stop at the sidewalk and look before exiting a parking lot or do you just roll all the way to the curb?

Try it some time. It is hilarious, I cannot stop laughing just thinking about it.

I only do this in Utah where most drivers are annoying. I think it makes me feel better when I'm stuck behind the barricade of drivers/deputized citizens that are going 64 in a 65 zone and feel it's their duty to help us all go the speed limit, or when every time I get on the freeway there is a car pacing me with 3 lanes open but they are in the exact lane I need to merge into... and they force me to haul past them or slow down to get on the freeway. Seriously, move over one lane for 30 seconds. Will it kill you?

People who think everyone sucks at driving are the people who actually suck at driving.

I used to tell my road rage friend this all the time. He would freak out and I would explain to him that the world was not out to get him, he just sucks at driving. I don't ride with him anywhere now.

I am sure this has been mentioned, but people who can't or won't handle a 4-way stop correctly. I HATE people who wave me through an intersection when they clearly had the right of way. I have seen more than 1 accident caused by the confusion of other drivers when one idiot is waving people through out of turn.

good catch, I forgot to mention that one. I get kind of indignant about it. I will not go. I turn my head and look away from them until they go.

I stop if there are pedestrians if I'm pulling out of my driveway or a parking spot.

We have a lot of tourists in my neighborhood, dozens at a time walking down the middle of the street and many of them pay no attention to traffic at all. It gets annoying.

Anyhow, today on the el downtown I was surrounded by people talking to the air. It was like the Tower of Babel. Too much noise pollution.

I like Chicago.
