Things that just irritate me...add yours too.

A couple things have been adding up, I'm gonna keep it clean but feel free to add your own.
  • The "Shoot the Paparazi" ad on the top of the ORC pages. I'm trying to listen to music or watch something and there's that $#%^ing camera noise.
  • People who drive 55 mph in a 60, then 68mph up a 60 mph truck lane then 55 down the other side.
  • People who park along the ends of parking spaces thusly blocking the driving lane.
  • People who play 20 questions with me at work about what parts I can and can't get, get the prices, then leave.
  • Horses...I can't delve into as much detail as I'd like here, suffice to say that I don't like them.
That's all for now folks. In light of recent ORC events it would probably be prudent to list things that didn't happen on here. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Things that bother me.
[*]People travelling either excessively fast or excessively slow for conditions (i.e. doing 70 when it's snowy, or doing 45 when the road is damp when it's too warm out to possibly be icy). In fact I'll expand that to say people travelling slowly in the fast lane on expressway and those that hit the brakes when people come up somewhat fast behind them (I swear to God I've seen that happen more than I care to recount).
[*]Bad customer service, being ignored, people who just give up when they can't find something in the computer, and all that stuff.
[*]The weather. It's never doing what I want it to. When I want to play in the snow, it won't snow, when I want to take the boat out chances are it's raining. Obviously that is unacceptable and the weather should check with me first.
[*]People in general that are too stupid to be alive but obviously it's illegal to correct the problem. Most people at one point or another fall into that category, depending on who I'm annoyed with at the time. At the top of the list are people only looking out for themselves, people who vote for people or donate to groups and don't take the time to understand what they stand for, and so forth.

I think that's enough for now.

Drivers that....

I can't see in my mirrors because they are so far up my tail pipe only the top of the car is visible.

Swap lanes three times just to get around me and slam on the brakes in front of me because the light is red (I could see that, why couldn't they?)

Pass me on the right trying to do 15 or 20 mph faster than the traffic is flowing, get caught up in slower traffic and then do the same damn thing again. Typical situation is that just when they have a chance to run the way they want, they swoop over two or three lanes to make an exit.

Are on their cell phone and have absolutely no idea that there are actually other cars on the freaking road.

Pass trucks on the right when they get caught in the fast lane. They don't have time to help fix the problem for the rest of us just a complete right to f'up traffic and come close to being killed.

I could go on... but I feel better now. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Yeah, those are good ones as well. I found another one tonight...
  • People who have a protected left turn and sit there with their teeth in their mouth and the foot on the brake/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif

- When the Traffic in the SF Bay area is so bad , that it takes 2 hours to drive 40 miles....

- People who drive with their perpetual blinker on.

- People who don't drive the Flow of traffic, and are driving 55 in a 65.

- *******, playing their Bump, Bump, Bump, in the car next to you at the stop light, and it's so loud that it rattles your vehicle.

- Cops who give you dumba$$ tickets, 1mph over, no turn signal, etc.

- People that cut off Semi Truck drivers and have no clue that the Semi Truck and it's 40 tons , won't stop like their lowered Honda Civic.....I'm waiting to see the Semi truck not stop and go bump de bump right on over them.

- people on 4x4 forums who start crap with others, and they think it's funny or they think their cool , and when they get called on it run to the moderator saying " Mommie, Mommie, he's not playing nice ".


- Drunks or High school punks on the Rubicon Trail as well as the Deusey Ershim trail that phuck things up , roll over and crash right in the middle of the trail , so you have to perform proper trail edicate, and either winch them out, weld on their truck or help them in some way , and get a bunch of BS for doing so......I wish I would just crawl over them, instead of helping, but what comes around , Goes around. and I'll need their help one day...

- My wife won't keep it shaven, and I hate getting that "Natural Dental Floss" in my Teeth...

- I could go on ad infinitum, but I'll leave it at that for now.

When I was cruising in my sports car listening to some George Strait these little ****s(*******) in an impala or something with giant wheels had their music shaking my car apart and were trying to start a fight because a white guy with a flag on his car was listening to country music /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Damn people. Nothing against rap music, it's good. These idiots wern't...

were they white or black?

*******: White punks trying to act like their black rap stars or Gangsta's

They were white, thats why I called em *******. That's what made it so funny.
Picture a purple pimp car with giant wheels and some kind of glitter flake on the paint. They hear your music (that is turned down) and crank theirs up to make your ears bleed. White guy with what looked like a grille(on his teeth) leans out the window yelling stupid stuff and they follow you around while you're looking at all the cool cars out that night.

Some people are just way too intolerant of others. They hate me for listening to country, I hate them for acting like they were going to start a fight. That seem even? I'm the bad guy btw /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Funny stuff so far, so I'll add what annoys me....bad telephone etiquette, especially at the workplace, between employees from another department.

Example: phone rings, I'll answer, and say "hello?"

Person on the other end says, "Who's speaking?"

Sometimes for fun, I'll answer, wait a minute, don't tell me let me guess! Ummm? Let me think now...Moses? LOL!

Example 2:Is when someone calls,(phone rings a 100 times!) and asks for Charles(the boss). Sorry he's gone to break. Then they'll ask, is Eddie there?(second in command) No, I don't know where he's at.
Then they'll say well, OK, nevermind, and hang up! Aggghhh! Couldn't they at least leave somekind of message, who they were, or what they needed? I guess they think I don't have work to be doing.

I sometimes think when they say, OK, nevermind. I should stop them and say, oh by the way Charles, and Eddie told me to tell you, if you called, NOT TO CALL IN HERE ANYMORE! LOL!

Now, I feel better. LOL!

First off watch the language.

Second of all that should be changed to politicians on both sides of the aisle, because if anybody believes any of these folks are in their best interest they're fooling themselves. In fact I'll expand that to include anybody who doesn't have the ability to realize that.

I'll add socialists/marxists in the US Political system, and those who want to increase redistribution of wealth (I work hard to get what I have, and I don't need it being given to someone not willing to do the same).

Taxes. This year I've paid more than half of what I made last year in taxes. I had to live in the workplace in order to make this, and should be allowed to keep most of it. The entire taxation system is less than fair currently. It needs to be seriously revamped, and pork barrel spending (also on both sides of the aisle) should be ditched. Politicians should be placed on the same retirement system and same health care system as that of the citizens (subjects?). Politicians should be prohibited from receiving anything including meals from any lobbyists, and doing so should result in immediate dismissal from the governing body they're a member of. I would prefer that laws start to make sense, and I would prefer the current laws and regulations be pared down to what is absolutely necessary. There are so many laws on the books currently that it's nearly impossible to know if you're breaking some obscure law or not.

Ok, that's my rant for the day, I feel better now.

I've got another one...

Trying to walk into or out of an area yet you're blocked by some group of inconsiderate stupid c**k-su**ers that don't have enough sense to take their conversation out of the flow of traffic.

Interesting that god forbid, ignorant and assinine are now curse words. It's like we're going back in time /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Also about your comment on wealth redistribution, you hate FDR, TR, JFK, Clinton and Carter? Rather go back to a world where 5 percent of the society has money and the other 95 are near death every year if something doesnt go right? You have the chance to make the money that you do because of the taxes you pay. It's a great idea to drop them, to have a bigger paycheck. Then wait 50-100 years and see the result of it on your nation. Crime will soar, nature will take over.

But i'm sure we're all in agreement some serious reform needs to happen(but it wont).

Read Cookie Monster's post and you'll probably find the language he had a problem with. Just because his post was after yours doesn't mean he had a problem with you. Look at the bigger picture.
