[Zippo910]

When your diving behind someone and they tap their breaks for no reason at all and do it over and over.

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*

Now you're talking. I do the same thing.

What I noticed over here in North America is following:

A lot of people like to drive in the left lane even though there's nobody in the right one. I guess in some area the right lane is so beat up from all the heavy trucks.

Anyhow you pull up behind them and from where I'm from and probably here too it is illegal to pass a car on the right. So you sit behind them and move closer. Wave at them, eventually flick the lights, honk and move further to the left so they for sure can see you in the left mirror. Nothing, they just keep going.

So after all the persuasion tactics have failed and your pulse has doubled you flick the turn indicator to the right and shoot past the car sending over the look of death while passing.

Once you passed, you look in the rear view mirror and in my experience about 90% of them change the lane to the right, after you had to pass them on the right.

That's when I would like to have a machine gun built in like 007 or a gadget that you could talk to them through their radio.

What?? You want people to change lanes?? Don't you know how much of a pain that is? Add to that having to use your turn signal and you can just forget it...Too much trouble!!

I hate it when you're sitting at a traffic light of a busy intersection, with a turn arrow. You can't turn left yet because of oncoming traffic... but then the light you've already gone through turns red, so all that traffic backs up. Of course, do the people in the oncoming lane wait until there is sufficient room to cross the intersection?

OF COURSE NOT! they just pull right out and just sit there in the middle of the intersection. Then of course their green light goes bye bye and they are stuck there, completely blocking the perpendicular flow of traffic.

But then those people... do THEY wait until they can successfully cross the intersection?

OF COURSE NOT! They just pull right out there and put their nose to the side of the car that's blocking their way and lay on the horn! Cause really, we all know how effective our horns are at getting other people to move, when they literally ahve no where to go. So then FINALLY, your turn lane gets its dedicated left green turn arrow... but can you go? Of course not. Cause now you got 2 people blocking you, and you get to sit there patiently and watch your green arrow go away JUST as the back up clears up and the people stuck in the middle get out of the way. So now you get to sit there through a whole other round of traffic...

and what happens? the oncoming people come right out to the middle of the intersection again...

i've had this cycle happen to me 5 times in a row once... i sat at that light for a minimum of 18 or 20 minutes. When you only live 5 minutes away from work, and you get stuck at ONE light for that long...

needless to say i was cussing pretty heartily at the 3rd and 4rth rounds of people that had blocked me off.

A-hahahaha!!! Sorry dude...so funny.

I hate that too...

But what I really hate...people that slam your door! That's all I'm a pretty paitent guy...nothing can really make me mad.

Oh oh...nevermind, I hate slow drivers that are merging on the highway and still merge going 45!!!! SPEED UP OR YOU GONNA KILL US!!!

That's all...everyone else summed everything else...

IF only everyone had the same dislikes as all of us..the world would be so much better.

this might have already been said but i hate it when you are already exceeding the speed limit buy about 5 mph and then someone passes you and you follow the flow of trffice and end up being behind him and he has slowed down to the speed limit and then you speed up and get beside him to pass him and you are all clear you put your turn signal on and then the way is clear and as soon as you start to move over he speeds up adn then you have to get back in the lane and he does it again till you are both exceeding the speed limit by about 15 and then you speed up and finally get over and he backs off and then you slow down and he is goign speed limit that makes me mad

Or you look at the weather forecast and see its going to be sunny for the whole week. Cool. Spend all Sat Morning detailing your car. Everything is perfect.

Take it out out for the inaugural ride and BAM, just up ahead, some dillhole has been watering the street for 5 hours and you have to drive through it and get grungy water, fertilizer and grass clippings all over your freshly washed car.

Or you park your clean car all the freakin way in the back of the lot only to discover that while you were inside, the grounds crew came by with their weedeaters and blew grass all over your car.

Or you park next to a curb in the city on the day when they decide to paint it. And rather tan putting up signs, they just go ahead and paint it with your car right there, getting yellow over-spray all over your ride.

Or you drive your spotless machine 5 hours to a car show, without getting 1 single bug squished on it, only to discover that you have to drive through a 20 foot mudpit to get where the show cars are supposed to park.

GRRRRRRRRRRR.

Seeing how I'm in Iraq....

I hate it when I get shot at.

I hate mortar attacks.

I hate how its hot in the day and cold at night.

I hate not having running water, or 110 electricity.

I hate not driving my camaro.

I hate not being with my loved ones, especially during the holidays.

Don't take the little things forgranted and be fortunate you are in the United States and not here.

I can't believe no one mentioned this one:
You are driving along in the middle lane on a 3 lane city street doing a little over the speed limit, there is no one beside you on either side, and no one within a mile behind you and there is a car about to pull onto the street ahead of you from a side street, and out of the two other available lanes, which one does he pull into? The one you are in!! So now you have to slam on the brakes or change lanes quickly to go around him, all the while cussing and spitting at the stupidity of the whole thing. That's one of my #1 peeves.

That stuff makes traffic annoyances seem rather trivial. My younger brother is over there with you guys. In fact he's in the 82nd Abn from Bragg too. Just remember we are greatful for the sacrifices you all have had to make and pray for your safe return. Not to mention you have a lonely F-Body for you at home Come home Safe.....Later

I've passed on the right or underpassed the CLOGS for all my 30 years of driving.
I really hate it when I'm behind 2 CLOGS in the left lane who are slowly overtaking a slower car.
As soon as the second CLOG passes the slower car he'll change lanes so now both lanes are CLOGGED.

Just curious here (not trying to start a flame war), but what is your opinion of the war in iraq? Do you fully support it and feel it was a necessary war? Heck, for that matter, does ANYONE over there question our president's decisions and actions?

Cause over here, everyone I know pretty much thinks he's an idiot and you guys are risking your necks for no reason. Hoping you keep safe and get back home soon, but would have rathered you guys never left in the first place.
