Oklahoma Howdy to Tibby,
Here's a few for you:
People who fly onto major highways from on-ramps without even looking.
Tail-gaters
People who turn out of the wrong lane on a multi-laned highway to exit, causing brakes to scream for blocks.
People with the stereos you can hear for a mile, the ones that rattle the bones in your spine when they get close.
People who drive 15 miles under the speed limit during rush hour.
Road ragers who flip out over nothing.
Loud exhausts that rattle the windows.
Oil-burners who leave a cloud over several blocks.
I'll try to think of some more for you.
In Christ,
Tom

Oh, those a good! I can’t believe I left them out!!!! Thanks!Those setrio systems i don't get. One of my work-out buddies owns a sucessful Windowtent/Car Sterio place in town. When is isn't busy, I'll stop by after school, and you will see people with broke down hoopies, smoke coming out of the hood, each door a different color, and stop by to make a lay-away payment!! Someone needs to adjust there priorities! Hey, my friend ain't complaning, he is rolling in it! haha These people... And the people in hoopies who think they are part of the Cast of the Fast and the Ferous! Oh yeah, one more: Disgruntled cops lol j/k We love you BEP! |

LOL there are so many things that annoy me when driving:
- huge transport trucks that drive slowly, especially when driving in the "fast lane" (which they're not supposed to be doing!)
- people who make left-hand turns well after the light has changed, as well as those who race advanced greens
- people who don't signal
- people who cut in front of you superclosely, particularly while going at highway speed
- people on cell phones while driving
- people who don't have their headlights on during early morning, dusk, or even at night(!)
- people who do all of the above and have a "baby on board" sign on their window

Tibby, I think it might be good to know it's spelled "satire." That should save you a point or two, not that it will matter much in the long run. This essay was doomed before your professor announced it.

Or how about the people in the next lane that speed up to block you as soon as they see your turn signal go on. Especially those who are blocking an off-ramp!  Or the people who don't check their blind spots-ever. Or the people who careen into your fender, and then glare at you like it's your fault. Or who are trying to create a sonic boom on a residential road with limited visibility. I almost got hit twice this way-and it was the same driver both times. Nope-not kidding. |

When you put Calvin and Hobbs on your profile, you lose your write to point out other people issues…  Just think, in a few more months and a Drivers Ed class, you might be able to actually contribute to this thread... or be the cause of a similar one... Everyone, good stuff. How about those guys who speed up as you try to pass them? |

I really, really hope you spelled "write" the way you did for the sake of irony...Otherwise, I'd have to cry.

I think the thing that bugs me the most about traffic is, um... the traffic.  --Oh Wait! One other thing: Someone screaming in the back seat, "Are we there yet?" |

Lottsa good posts but here's one I didn't see and it REALLY BUGS ME!
the driver who stops in the Walmart P.L. lane and waits for a space close to the door when there's not even anyone near a parked car to back out. If I can "squeeze" past them, i can go around and park in the back of the lot and be in the store before they ever move.
One time, I even got in the store and back out only to see that same car still waiting for a close up space.

Or the guy (or gal) that waits right behind you while you're trying to back out, wanting to be the first to grab your space... |
