Cruising along not bothering anyone and then BAM! Some skippy mcgee slowly pulls out in front of me - makes me slow down - then when I'm ready to passsssss ughh they decide they're turning! Really? NOT A SOUL BEHIND ME DAMN YOU! Ruin my mood ruin my morning. Rates right up there with the (profanity of choice) that have to make a complete stop before they can turn!

This is how frustrated and pissed off I get at rude (profanity of choice) drivers!

    Don't kill me Foxy.. But honestly, re-read the driver's handbook. Because in two lane traffic, on left hand turns, you ARE supposed to stop first, UNLESS the thoroughfare is visibly clear. ( no oncoming traffic for 250 yards.) Annnnd passing via the slow lane is illegal. Relax, dear. There's no reason to get that upset over driving. As for the pulling in front of you and THEN slowing down.. That's just rude and irritating. Going by speed limit or just under?? Use the right lane! Left lane is for passing, and left turn usage ONLY! Everyone seems to forget that it is not a travel lane.. But no one really upholds that.. So oh well..

    None the less hope your day gets better. Throw on some PJ and have a great day! :smile:

    I think Foxy is referring to single lane in each direction roads.
    I'm with you Foxy! Nothing pisses me off quite so much when I am driving as some douchenozzle pulling out in front of me cutting me off to drive 10Km below the speed limit. If I had to break so you could pull out you didn't have enough room to do so. My ultimate fav move after they do this when they start driving a bit over to the shoulder as if to say but you can pass me. Not with oncoming traffic, or on a corner, or on double yellow you motherf****r, I actually know how to drive.

    I feel you! That type of shit is a daily occurrence here.

    Just yesterday I was turning on the green left-arrow light and some asshole coming from the opposite direction just plowed on through the intersection even though it was red on his side.

    Had I been going any faster, there would've been some awful bodily injuries.

    Courtesy, attention and common sense - wish people would use those more when driving (not to mention use in life, in general).

    No one has common sense anymore. I hate just about every other driver when I am on the road.

    One thing I do not get, if there are 2 right hand turn lanes coming off the highway and you need to make an immediate left after the right, why would you get in the turn lane all the way to the right. Just so as soon as you turn right you can try and cut me off when you have to make a left 100 feet later. Idiots. Thinking is an art being lost on the planet.

    I live in a rural, agriculture area and not only do I have to watch out for douche moves by people in cars, I also have to contend with farm equipment (tractors, sprayers) and semi trucks doing the same crap!!!

    It is rare anymore when I'm stopped at a red that some a**hole isn't running a light. In fact I'm surprised when it doesn't happen!!!

    :lol: I refer to any slow driver as a Sunday driver - which refers to all the old, disabled, handicapped retirees out there - no offense I have grand parents too I'm just saying. It's like the slow Sunday drivers who have no where to be anytime soon just slowly driving to church or slowly just driving because they are out for a cruise. Sunday driver just means a slow driver lol lol lol lol - and again no offense. MI drivers are often referred to as drivers that are in a hurry to get no where.

    "left lane camper"...cars that get on the freeway, go over to the far left lane, and set the cruise control to 50...the speed limit is 60! I can't pass the other slow pokes in the center or right lane because YOU ARE IN THE WAY!

    the cops are "supposed" to ticket people hindering the flow of traffic, but nooo-o-oooo-o, they are too busy shooting and killing innocent citizens.

    I admit that I back in if at a concert. (I forgot to at PJ in Cincy and no one wanted to let me out of the freakin' parking deck.)

    You live in the land of what we call the Maryland Swing. Why is it that people in Maryland feel the need to swing into the opposite lane of traffic to make a right hand turn?

    deadend, my guy insists upon the back-in at concerts. Really helps.

    What about Sunday walkers/shoppers? Like the folks who just stroll about the aisle (particularly precious when they're pre-occupied with their phone) - "I'll just stop right here with my cart and block your path. It's all about me."

    dont. get. me. started.
    Author's Note: I just got home from the supermarket - it was fine when I left but a block away it started pooooooooooouring rain and didn't stop even now. So I'm extra cranky.

    What's wrong with backing in to a parking spot? My friends do that all the time. Also driving through the empty sections of the lot. Why is that bad?

    My biggest pet peeve in the store is those that leave their carts in the middle of the aisle and then walk to the other end. The way to get them back is to throw miscellaneous items into their carts. The hope is they don't notice until they get home and unpack and wonder why they have these random things they purchased. My wife now laughs when I do it. She used to get pissed at me but eventually was turned to the dark side.

    I'm glad mca isn't here...backing in drives him bonkers! I knew a UPS driver, he said backing into a parking spot or driveway makes it much easier to drive out of when you leave, less blind spots. I always backed in to parking spots when we had the truck.

    Because they hold up an entire lane of traffic as they get their car lined up JUST SO with the parking lot lines. People can pull in much faster than backing in.

    I love the stray carts in the lot. My favorite!

    Ani, I'll have to do that next time in the store. I kept running into that in the two stores I had to go to today. And Hedo (Jedi), I agree. Hopefully they are in an expensive aisle!

    Cruisin down the highway on my way home from work, dude in a cube truck spins out to pull out in front of me and I shit you not about 50 yards down the road stops so he can turn left! There was oncoming traffic so a complete stop was necessary. :anguished::angry:
    There was no one behind me and you could see that as I was on a long straight stretch. My only question is what the actual fuck, I mean were they just born that stupid or do they really work at it.
    Worst part is that it had been a beautiful day on the road for work, no idiots, barely any traffic, sun shining, music cranked and then douchenozzle! :confounded:
