Not knowing what they wanna do ... ie going through a Stop sign at 2 mph, then standing there in the middle of the road looking at you with these dumb*uck empty eyes. People that do 10 under and stay in the middle, blocking 2 lanes ...
Agree with your three and would add: 4. Running your windshield washers when moving in traffic (which sprays everyone behind them).
1- Big trucks w/ gravels or dirt and no cover (crap flying over the place) !!!! 2- Cut in front of you and sloooooow down. 3- Slow cars on interstate driving on the left lane....
What is your suggested signal distance? I generally don't signal if there are no cars within say 200ft of me front or rear. -DC
1 using a mobile phone when driving. 2 drivers who see me waiting at a junction but pretend im not there and wont leave me out. 3 drivers who follow so closely they are nearly in the car with me.
"I generally don't signal if there are no cars within say 200ft of me front or rear." Why not? Is it that much work? Are you afraid you'll wear out your blinker lever? It is incredibly rude and selfish esp. if there is someone waiting to turn right and you are approaching them from the left and they think you are going straight. Suddenly and w/o warning, you turn right onto the street that they are on. That person just wasted 5-10 seconds of their life because of the non-signaler. Here's another one: Garage salers. I hate them. They drive 5 mph looking on both sides of the street like a bird on a post then suddenly stop short and turn (or just stop) and then look to see if there is anything worth further inspection. I am told by friends who have had garage sales (Personally I think it's a waste of time as I give everything unwanted to the Rescue Mission and get a receipt for taxes) that people will try to haggle them down from say a quarter to 20 cents. How could you have the balls to do this?
i'll use my turn signal in an empty parking lot at 3 in the morning, just to pull out of my parking space... i'm so anal about turn signals, it's ridiculous... That's number one on my list... People who cut me off generally piss me off, but i've calmed down about that... People who drive ridiculously slow also agitate me, but i've calmed down about that, as well...
KEEP RIGHT UNLESS PASSING. People who stay left when there is absolutely nobody in the right lane should be ticketed. I'm serious. It's the most frustrating thing in the whole world. And I really don't like overtaking on the inside because that, too, should not be done. But people who are going 65 in a 65 zone in the fast lane AND who don't get over when you are right behind them bug me more than anything. After that main off-pissing point, in no particular order comes: 1. People who commit the same crime, but this time in the middle lane. Don't cruise in the middle lane at the speed limit. You aren't passing anyone in the slow lane, so GET OVER! 2. People who try to pass on the inside when there is no room whatsoever for them to get around. Wait in line like everyone else. I shouldn't be too hard on these people, because I may, perhaps, have done it from time to time when really frustrated, but it's not ok when someone tries to do it to me. 3. People who tailgate. While I may commit number 2, I never ever commit number 3. 4. Anyone with an exhaust wider than a 2-liter soda bottle. 5. Not signaling 6. People, generally women, generally in SUVs, pulling out of parking spaces without looking. 7. People who drive Mercury Grand Marquis or Ford Crown Victorias. These cars SHOULD NOT be available to the general public. How many times have you slowed down, afraid that the cruising car ahead is an unmarked cop and then, when you finally get the nerve to overtake him, look in and see a man born before they even invented cars? 8. Anybody who slows down to see an accident on the other side of the highway. This could actually compete for the number 1 spot it's so annoying. 9. People who go 70 in a 55, and then when it turns into a 65 still go 70. 10. People who aren't annoying at all but nevertheless quite baffling: anybody who doesn't have E Z Pass. If you EVER go through a toll, why on earth wouldn't you get E Z Pass? It's free. It's actually cheaper than not having it. 11. People who don't go when the light turns green. The accordian effect is due to an overly large synaptic gap in these people's brains. 12. Most minivans. Sorry, but they are annoying. If they are going slow, they are annoying because that's what minivans do. And if they are going fast and overtaking you, they are even more annoying, because the guy's driving a minivan and doesn't know his place. 13. People who drive in the winter with snow piled all over their car so it flies off onto your car. 14. Any big rig truck that ever tries to pass anyone. Ever. 15. People who fill up with gas and then, when you are waiting for their spot to fill up, get out of their car and go inside to buy gum, go to the bathroom, etc., rather than pulling forward and letting you in. These people really suck. 16. People who play music in their car that I can hear. 17. People who don't wear seatbelts. 18. People who don't put their lights on when it is raining. F U, it helps other motorists see you in their mirrors. 19. People who slow BELOW the speed limit when they see a cop. Trust me, you won't get pulled over for going 55 in a 55. Well, there's 20 for you. I thought I would just list a few, but they kept coming to me. There must be dozens more. Z
When I'm zeroing in on the back of the car in front at some bloody fast speed and them not getting out of the way fast enough. Some people are just a$$holes.
I love some of the reasoning that people give for doing some of the aforementioned things (and some not): I am going 65 and I'm in the fast lane, anyone going faster is breaking the law so I have a right to drive in this lane. Wow, that car looks expensive, I want to mess it up. --- Although this is generally my fault, I hate it when I am following at like 4-5 car lengths on the freeway and someone cuts in front of me to pass a truck or something. I don't like to follow really closely (especially in bad conditions) and usually lose position on the freeway because of it. People who don't pull up to the line on the stop lights and instead stop 2 car lengths back. This annoys me to no end.
1. Driving slow in the fast lane 2. Those god damned f-king dumb-asses who pull out of the hotel and the In-n-Out burger onto a street with a 45 mph speed-limit directly in front of me making me slam my breaks and potentially swerve into the oncoming traffic lane. I have flat spots on my tires from this. Oh, and they drive off as if nothing happened and give me this weird look at the light. * 3. The asses on bikes who NEVER EVER stop at stop-signs, roll right on by and then flick you off because *they* barely missed hitting me by 2 feet because THEY ran a damned stop-sign. * Between my house and the freeway entrance is 1 In-n-Out burger and 1 hotel. This happens to me at least once a week.
1) Being behind soccer mom's in their vans..The slower the better for them! 2) Being behind soccer mom's in their vans..The slower the better for them! 3) Being behind soccer mom's in their vans..The slower the better for them!
People in SUVs who change lanes without looking and almost drive over the top of my car. People who feel they have to police the interstate by going exactly the speed limit in the left lane. The gravel truck that was spilling rocks all over the highway putting 5 chips in my windshield, a dent in my roof, and one in my grille. This thing didn't even have a license plate for me to track down the operators with.
Driving too damn slow up to a signal-controlled intersection, then - Driving like a bat out of hell when light turns yellow, which - Leaves me stuck at the red light.
....small minded people who see a Ferrari and arbitrarily hate (making comments, gestures and erratic lane changes). I get three per day, easy. DL
1) Minivans, they drive too slow & I can't whats in front of them. 2) Cell phone users, people that eat & drive. Just pull over or get a hands free system. 3) Teenage drivers, I'm getting older so thats one more thing for me to rant about. Stupid kids.
I thoroughly despise people that: 1) drink and drive 2) drive w/o insurance (park the thing until you can afford it!) 3) will not accelerate down an onramp, then STOP at the bottom of the ramp. 4) don't keep their babies in car seats and they get killed flying through the windshield. 5) haul stuff hanging off the back w/o a flag, or in the pickup loose to be blown out. I've had to dodge a quilt, a couch, scrap metal, a washing machine, and cans of paint on the interstate in the last 2 years. 6) do not have any respect for anyone else's vehicle and damage yours in a parking lot with thier POS. 7) lean against my car in a parking lot, I've never caught anyone on one of my bikes but it would be ugly.
1. It rarely happens. People who are afraid to enter the freeway. They stop and look (on the entrance ramp) - before entering the freeway. 2. People who sit and wait, at a four way stop sign when you are 75 yards away. I love to do the Hollywood stop here. I love to keep them waiting. I just tap the brakes and keep going. 3. Slow drivers in the left lane. Have you figured out that in America, the fast lane is the right hand lane ?
Nothing really bothers me, as I am rather mellow, I take it all in stride. Having been a victim of a DUI accident, I would have to still disagree with you. There are many people who make a living because of people who drink and drive. So for all the families out there, that can put food on the table because of other drunk drivers, I respectfully disagree. Hit them once a week, deal with insurance, and keep a account where you can pile all your settlement money. It will be worth it. Then decide where you want to park the Enzo.
