Don't you hate it when........

[Joe 1320]

You take a friend for a ride in your freshly detailed car and upon your return, the passenger side door is covered in their fingerprints.

Seconds after you passed someone because they were holding up traffic by going 10 mph under the speed limit, now decides that they need to pass you for no apparent reason.

The neighbor's cat loves to climb on your newly washed and detailed car.

You decide to stop at the gas station that was on the other side of the road on your return trip, only to find they have raised the price earlier that day.

The fast food restarant you stop at has a drive through without an overhang, but you only discover that because it's now raining.

The only time you get stuck at a light next to another Hot Rod is when you're driving the family minivan.

A police cruiser is directly ahead of you in traffic on the one day you're late for work.

Two truck drivers decide to play "keeper of the speed limit" by driving side by side in traffic at considerably slower than the speed limit.

You purposely park out in Siberia at the local Wal Mart, almost to the point of needing a cab to get to the front door. When you finally make it back to your car, a mud covered pickup and a minivan are parked on either side of you and no other vehicle is remotely close by.

You settle for your second choice color on your dream car because the first choice is nowhere to be found, only to have it show up on the lot the very next week.

The parts you ordered last month and installed have just been put on clearance for half the price.

The custom wheel you just bent from hitting a curb has been discontinued.

The receipt for the lifetime warranty part that just failed, is missing.

The next day delivery you just paid for is guaranteed to arrive at it's destination in 3 days.

The one time you actually aren't watching the gas pump, the automatic stop mechanism isn't working, causing fuel to stream down the side of your fender and onto your new shoes.

Feel free to post yours as well.

Joe, have you had a bad day?

I have a friend who 20 years+ ago had a 79 F150 4wd decked out. He parked it across 2 spaces at the opposite end of the parking lot at the mall, not a car even in the entire section only to have some jerk park sideways 2 inches in front of his truck. It was full time 4wd so he put it in low range and pushed it into a light pole. It caved in the drivers door about 6 inches. It was a rag anyway. Didn't put a scratch on his grille gaurd. There wasn't another car within 50 spaces of him.

I asked the local Wendy's if they would put an overhang on their drive through. I've already had to replace my drivers door lock switch.

Actually no..... we're just making fun of stuff at work.

(1) When you spend all day washing/waxing your car and decide to take it for a cruise only to find out the route you took happens to be underconstruction.

(2) When some $@!%@ decides to cross over the median or shoulder to pass someone up and creates a cloud of dust that hovers in the air for a good 10 secs. as you pass thru it.

Oh here's another one. You're driving down the road and some guy is blowing his yard into the street.

Re: Don't you hate it when........

Most of these sound like the story of my life.

Hey Joe I thought this one would make # 1

I hate when you stand in line it seems forever and when it's your turn they tell you that they are out of what you wanted

[Joe K. 99 Zeee!!]

Here's a couple:

People decide to close the door by using the window.

You just finished washing the car and are out on the road when your passenger decides they just have to lower the window.

I've been accused of jumping down people's throats over this one. They hit the switch and I'm like "Ahhhh!!! Stop!! What the heck are you doing!!!" In return I usually get a puzzled stare.

I hate it when I drive 300 miles unscathed to the Car Craft Summer Nationals just to get poured on 5 miles from the Nats with rain so hard that the car gets sideways on the interstate several times then finally arriving at the park to find that it's a giant mud puddle and the price to get in was raised to $45 and have to get in a hour long wait to get in and look for a place to park with the outside temp already at 80° with 100% humidity and the windows up and no AC cause I just got done doing the cam and the state I live in is the only state in the entire friggin nation where you can't buy an AC recharge kit, and we are sweating like pigs driving 2 mph in a 180 mph car and after all that there's no place to park except in the boonies next to a van cause after driving for 5 hours we didn't get there until 8:00 AM.

Other than that, accidentally calling my girlfriend by the wrong name usually causes me some grief.

[Joe 1320]

Holy crap Kevin, that's one heck of a long sentance. I feel your pain, though.

[Barry 94Formula]

You stop at the local supermarket to pick up one thing. As you walk in there is no one in the checkout lines. You pick up the item and head for the checkout and every line is now packed with people with full carts

[pugmire]

You go to the soccer fields to take in one of your daughter's soccer games, only to get back and see that some kid has decided to draw on the hood of your new Z with a rock.

When on long trip, I always use my cruise control and drive very predictably well over the limit, in the right lane when possible.

It really annoys me when people cannot keep a consistant speed. I can recall passing people up to 7 times. After 2 I begin holding up fingers in the window to indicate how many time we have passed.

I also hate it when I'm following traffic in the left lane, passing cars in the right lane with someone tailgating me. What am I supposed to do? slow to the speed limit and get in the right lane with the slowpokes so he can be 1 carlength ahead of me? NOT. Then, as soon as there is a small clearing in the slowlane, these idiots will switch right to pass you. I LOVE to speed up when they do that, so they cannot get in between me and the car in front of me. Often times the car behind them takes up the slack also, and they get stuck in the slow lane. *HAHA*

We are ALL in line in the left lane to get past the slower traffic to the right. What makes these people think they are so special? It is like going to the bank, and walking right up to the front of the line. Very rude!
SO.... I make a point to screw with them every chance I get.

Do you guys know what a "courtesy pass" is?
OK, say you are in the left lane, nobody is in front of you and you are coming up on a car in the right lane. Now, you notice a car gaining on you from behind but cannot move right because of the slower car.

A courtesy pass is when you gun it to the approaching cars speed until you pass the slower traffic to the right, then switch lanes right and slow to your original speed. This is a courtesy to the faster driver, so he does not need to slow down. It is easy to do, because your cruise control will go right back to your original speed after you take your foot off the gas.

I yell at people when they pet their FEET on the dash.

The wet window thing ticks me off to, and confuses people when I holler at them about it.

And god forbid, someone sets a duffle bag in the trunklid. (motherinlaw)

And I almost killed my fatherinlaw when he opened the door of my Blazer into the side of my old Iroc -TWICE-. (he is forbidden to touch my convertible)

You know what I hate. You spend 3 hours detailing your car (b/c it's black). Go inside for a drink, come out and find one little pocket of water dripped out of somewhere, ran across half your car and managed to absorb 3 pounds of dirt and pollen.

Here's some Murphys while were at it.


1. Everyone has a photographic memory. Some don't have film.

2. He who laughs last, thinks the slowest.

3. Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.

4. When the chips are down, the buffalo is empty.

5. Those who live by the sword get shot by those who don't.

6. The 50-50-90 rule: Any time you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there's a 90%probability you'll get it wrong.

7. It is said that if you line up all the cars in the world end to end, someone would be stupid enough to try and pass them.

8. You can't have everything. Where would you put it?

9. The things that come to those that wait may be the things left by those who got there first.

10. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

11. Flashlight: A case for holding dead batteries.

12. The shin bone is a device for finding furniture.

13. A fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing well.

14. It was recently discovered that research causes cancer in rats.

15. When you go into court, you are putting yourself in the hands of 12 people who weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty.
