Stupid Pet Peeves

[moevillini]

Drivers that don't know how to make turns and turn their car into the lane for oncoming traffic. Even worse when they're going too fast. And worse yet when your car is the oncoming traffic.

My neighborhood is pretty congested with cars parked on both sides of the street. That narrows the lanes for moving traffic considerably and doesn't allow a wide margin for making turns.

I've lost count of how often I've come close to being hit head-on.

I had to jump the curb to avoid being hit when I was turning right and a guy turning left turned into my lane, honking as he went, instead of turning in to the left lane like he is supposed to. One of my biggest driving pet peeves.

See, you're the disease I'm talking about. Because you're an entitled prick, the rest of us get to deal with garbage all over the floor, beach, parking lot.

I litter every chance I get on public property. It's really not a big deal if my Kit-Kat wrapper is crumpled up on the street.

I feel the same way trying to read. Like I could sit there staring at a wall and no one would talk to me, but crack a book and now everyone wants to get all chatty. It's as if it makes them nervous that someone is reading so they have to run interference or something.

Welcome to marriage. Nothing but silence until you un-mute the TV, check a box score, contemplate responding to charges of racism on JF.

One of my biggest as well, especially since it pays right into one off my other pet peeves, people not turning because there are people also turning when there are plenty of lanes to go around if everyone would just turn into their corresponding lane.

I used to bitch about this until my wife's friend got ran over by a UTA bus and got the ticket for it by a Sandy cop. Anyone else would get ticketed for it but not UTA. In fact, I saw on almost a daily basis someone getting pulled over off the I-15 90th south southbound off ramp turning East (left) for skipping lanes in the intersection so they could pull into then Lowe's or turn right the next corner. She got hit on the corner after that IIRC and got ticketed by the same city cops that were ticket trapping for the opposite two blocks earlier.



Keep in mind that I've been driving UTC to SLC for 15 years so I have to chill out on driver stupidity or go insane.

For me it's when I need to pee. I swear I could piss myself and my wife would keep having the same conversation we had yesterday and the day before. Or yell at me for walking away while she as talking to me.

Exactly what I'd expect from you.

Yeah, my wife loves to start talking as soon as the main character of whatever show we're watching starts explaining what's going on. I feel like I wait for silent moments to interject, but maybe I'm just as bad.

99% of the time I simply walk away and take a leak. She needs to find an adult that isn't me that she can talk to on a regular basis. She has no life.

I'm sure she agrees with that.. same thing with mine. They need girlfriends so they can leave their bitchin at someone else's lobes.
