Or even worse, under the speed limit.

I also hate 3 cars abreast all going the same speed- usually the speed limit or less- and blocking all 3 lanes.

Yes.

The way God intended us to slide down mountains.

Without i-pods filled with head-banger music. Without a belly full of Jaeger-bombs. Without flashing butt-crack and tramp stamps.

And with some respect for other people on the mountain.

Call me old fashioned.

Isn't it great how generalizations are made about people based solely on what they look like?

[QUOTE=dd74;5138680]...people for whom I'll hold a door open, and they make no acknowledgment of what I've just done. QUOTE]


Add to that people who park in handicapped spots and are not and just hang a phony tag in the window as they run into the store.

People who cant stop talking about money, you know the type they walk around and announce to the world they are dining at most expensive place in town or they speak do loudly in public about "well I may buy another Jag or the new Porsche or maybe I'll replace my 14 month old Ferrari with a new one"

Here is my suggestion,,, where a great big neon sign on your head with an arrow pointing at you which says "Hey look at me"

Uh, not all people with very legit handicapped tags LOOK handicapped.

I know that. I grew up with a handicapped sister in the 60's and 70's long before the "handicapped spots" were around. Just when I see someone hop out of a sport 2 door car and make a run to the door of the supermarket it pisses me off. I really cant stand those who look around to see whose watching and then take out there little tag and hang it so they can park close.

I realize too that some of those people get those hanging tags since they are the legal guardian of a handicapped person.

Fun fact of the day. In Texas they have 2 types of handicap placards. Blue for people with physical handicaps. And red for people with "Other than physical handicaps".

WTF is that? Other than physical handicaps ??? Mental issues? If that is the case, I've had one wife, and several girlfriends who would qualify.

I feel about the same as Dottore. However, the guilty party could easily be a skier. But percentage wise, it is a much higher likelihood that it will be a snowboarder, which probably has more to do with the age/demographics of you average snowboarder compared with those of the average skier.

1. Drivers that don't stop at pedestrian crossings.

2. Groups (usually teens) that walk three abreast on the side walks, and don't get out of the way for people walking the other direction.

Deaf people qualify for handicapped stickers....how do you know if the person running into the store is deaf? Unless you yell at them not to park there?

Annoying? All who slide on snow should worship Glen! This guy went from neon pink-dirt bag stuff in the '80s to doing big descents in the Alps in this century -- all while meeting and greeting the fans at any little midwestern bump in the meantime.

Annoying are those who care about the whole ski-vs-board thing. Such thinking should be left in the 1990's. Everyone knows that the most progressive stuff is being thrown down on two planks, just as it has been for > 200 yrs...

I'm not in Texas, but I'd hazard a guess that Red signifies heart?
