Pet Peeves - Page 2

You know what I hate, too? When someone had a long, long time to get out of on ramp lane and waits until the very last minute to merge left. You think they're exiting but oh no here they come. It usually ends up cutting me off and it pisses me off to no end. Foresight, dinglecheeses!

I also hate it when someone does something sh!tty, like exiting a carpool lane over the double yellow line and then expects you to be alright with them cutting you off.

I also detest people who tailgate me. Especially if they are in a BMW or a Mercedes. The closer you get, the more brake I use.

A lady in a Mercedes was tailgating me last year and got busted by the cops. I laughed all the way to work.

Answering machine greetings by children who are too young to be understood by anyone but their parents.
People driving while concentrating on things other than their driving (makeup, cell phone, movies, newspaper, painting her toenails). Worse than the drunks, I say- at least the drunks are trying to pay attention. And I think there are more inattentive drivers than drunk ones.

If a guy in a red Ford Fusion ever does any of those things on the 22 fwy, I apoligize in advance.

The blinker thing has always bugged me. People rarely use them anymore.

And the double line crossing idiots on the 91 express lanes! OMG. Especially the one that pulled in front of the car in front of my family. The lady slammed on her brakes to avoid hitting him and they (my family) hit her. The guy that caused the accident by illegally crossing the lines just kept on driving. F-er.

Another pet peeve is when everyone at work has a computer problem... they call me - I tell them to reboot - they say - I knew you would say that. Hello? Then why not reboot first and then call me if that doesn't work.

Also - I am not in charge of supplies just because my office is next to the supply cabinet. I don't order them. I dont' know what's in there. I'm not the person to ask if someone else already took something. Not me. It's just a cabinet by office. nothing more.

Despite this, I continue using my blinker.

No kidding!

I also hate the guy in the lane next to me, I'm signalling to get in his lane, he finally passes me, I move over and then he gets in my lane (usually with nobody behind me in the lane either) WTF is up with that?

Ya know what I hate? People who get in my way. If I want to change lanes, there shouldn't be anybody there! If I want to go faster, there shouldn't be anybody in front of me.

When everybody learns this, the world will be a much better place to live!

You're in a long line, let's say at Gibson Girl at Disneyland. The menu is in plain view the whole time for everyone in line. A couple gets to the front. The CM greets them and asks them what they're going to order. The couple stands there with a blank look.

Woman: Sorry, we don't know what we want to order yet. What are you going to get, Hephaistion?

Man: I don't know, Sparkle, what are you going to get.

Woman: I don't know.

<--------Everyone else waiting in line and the CM secretly.

I'm with you GC - that makes me bonkers. Um hello you've had 20 minutes to figure it out.

A new study agrees.
