OT (somewhat) Pet Peeves

Hey guys, post your pet peeves here!

I have 2.

1: This is a big one. REAR FOGS on a bright sunny day. I just saw an AUDI AllRoad with them on today. AHHHHHHHHH!

2: Trucks that gets into your lane no matter what you do. Lights, horns, once (strobes and even sirens) and he can clearly see me cause I can see his face in 2 of his mirrors.

Thank you.

I am done.

Lwin

The A6/S6/allroad (not AllRoad...its actually supposed to be allroad) have a dial for the lights that you pull to put the fog loghts on, and its way to easy to activate the rear fog light and not even know it...my mom does it all the time, and yes, when I drive behind it, and bothers the hell out of me, too.

And for my pet peeve, uh...oh yeah. People who forget how to drive in the rain...rain doesn't mean going half the speed limit.

People here in LA have a different problem when it comes to rain and fog: they never learned to drive, period. We have so many accidents in the rain and fog... a 180-car pile-up on 710 because of fog... Every time it rains, you are guaranteed at least 10 accidents within the first 30 minutes of the rain...

Mine....

1.)Tailgaters- they tick me all the time, really hate driving with one, make them let me drive normaly
2.)People who dont use blinkers
3.)People who dont bother to see if their taillights are burnt out and drive without them for some reason
4.)People who drive with their parking lights on
5.)People who like to hit the breaks when they see a cop even if they are doing the correct speed
6.) people who just are driving dangerously cause they cant be bothered to slow down a little, cant people just relax a little and take it easy? (yes i do like to speed sometimes but i am safe about it.)
7.) drunk/high cops--i have delt with one.. cost me over $200
8.) unrealistic speed limits..55 on open "country" roads
9.) Trucks and SUVs that have the headlights right at the right height that i get blinded in all 3 rear-view mirrors.
10.) cars that sound like giant bees
11.) people who play the subs as loud as they can, making the trunk rattle like crazy and you can hear and feel it 80' away from them, what is the need for that?

1. Gigantic stereos in cars with nimrods driving them around trying to attract attention and when people look they're like 'what a loser' even though the nimrod driver is like "yo g my system is so dope look at everyone checkin me out'
2. People who DRIVE IN THE LEFT LANE. that lane is for passing. PASSING ONLY.
3. People who drive in hte left lane and don't get the f*ck out of your way. They deserve to die.
4. People who flash me when I have my fogs on. They are NOT very bright, in fact, I'm wondering if they believe the fogs are my low beams and my low beams are my high beams.... in any case, they're stupid, because my car isn't very bright in front.
5. People who don't use blinkers....
6. People who don't use blinkers, so I put my hazards on to show them my disgust, and then they don't use their blinkers ON PURPOSE. They also need to die.
7. People who think its too much TROUBLE to use their blinkers
8. People who think its too much work to use their blinkers
9. People on SVX forums who are defending why they don't use blinkers.
10. People who don't know what the gas pedal is at green lights... ie, they idle through intersections
11. People who can't drive in bad weather... this either means the SUVs who go 80mph in blizzard conditions (too fast) or the people who go 30mph when they're on a freaking highway (STRAIGHT ROAD). News Flash people: You can go 55 in almost ANY weather.... its straight, its not like you're going to turn anytime soon.
12. Trucks that throw big rocks at you when you're behind them.
13. Old people driving buicks
14. Old women driving porsches.
15. People who are so fat that they're cars are cantered over to one side. Wait, before you yell at me, I'm just saying it annoys me when I see them pull into McDonalds. BLECH. One time I saw a minivan that looked like it was about to tip over onto the drivers door... I drove past it, it was this REAAAALLLY fat woman.. the most disgusting part? She was using her STOMACH as a tray. I **** you not. She had her mcdonalds burger SITTING ON IT! AAHHHHHHH MY EYES!

1. people who are convinced that their opinion is the only correct one and will defend themselves tooth & nail even if it is blatently obvious that they are wrong.

It's a Darwinian thing.

I used to, secretly in the deepest recesses of my heart, fervently hope that all the bad drivers would remove themselves from the road.

Unfortunately, it appears that all they do is eliminate the innocent.

!!1!! Retarded people that have flashing lights on their car... I've seen cars with red and blue flashes on the window side of there mirrors that were really bright. They guy was driving a civic or something and almost caused an accident because people thought he was a cop. and then people who replace stock brake lights with strobe lights... Its the most distracting thing EVER.
!!2!! the people in mercedes and BMWs (other cars also, these are just more prevalent) that think they are the only people driving on the road... I can't even begin to count how many times i've been cut off, or almost run of the road by stupid people in expensive cars.

i think that about covers it for now.

1. Anyone who doesn't drive exactly like I do.
2. Anyone who doesn't realize that my opinion is the only one that counts.
3. College girls that aren't interested in older, married men.

For the record, all three of these are jokes.... Lighten up people!

Did someone mention yellow cars yet ? That's not one of my pet peeves. I get peeved (ticked) by people posting their pet peeves on some internet site.

NEONS!!

My biggest pet peave is Neons!
Oh yah, and people that have not figured out what the stick on the side of the steering wheel is for. You know that one that makes that arrow looking light on the dash blink. What the hell is that for?

-G

P.S. The Neon comment really has nothing to do with ca$h....The rental car company tried to take my reantal (a sufficient Mitsubishi Gallant) car back and make me drive a Neon and I personally depise them. We had words...therefore I am peaved about Neons!
