Summer time, hot out, I pull to a stop at the light. Bicycle guy with goofy helmet and tights and all is in the left turn lane to my left, stopped with one foot on the pavement. The road commission was restriping the crosswalk by putting down a film of glue with small roller then applying reflective white strips. Bicycle guy asks the worker guy, "Does that stuff really stick?" Guy answers back without looking up, "Nope."

Good one. Idiots who have their cellphone ringer on max volume. Then don't answer it. They let it ring. And ring. And ring.

People who text in a movie theater. Just because you're not talking doesn't mean your screen light isn't distracting.

I used to always park as far forward and to the left as possible for people in that situation. Then I quit caring.

Some straight pipe Harley guys. Geez, like i really want to hear your bikes flatulence whilst you sit at the traffic light cranking the throttle to wide open and back to idle every 2 seconds. It's not like they're riding some old knuckle head with a leaky carb and a wild cam and they can't hold an idle. Just seems like a "look at me, my mommy didn't pay enough attention to me" behavior.

I could never figure out why there is not a trash can in the drive through line. Seems like an easy fix considering the wait??

It happens all the time to me right around the corner from my home. My response to the offender is always the same... "dont worry about anyone else this world was made for you"

thats the one!!! and then he is not using it while talking to someone in person. the one that REALLY got me was the guy sitting in church with one on, like he was going to take a call while the preacher was talking. get a life!


people that read books and drive

people that talk on the phone and act like they are the only one on the road.

drivers that are not considerate of others. yes, i move over so you can pull out. if you dont use your blinker, i dont make room for ya. if you are going 25 and trying to pull into traffic going 60, i dont make room for ya either.

the guy that has to pass me only to stop at the red light that was already red.

people that change lanes for no reason. you know, your on the left lane, they are in the right, no other traffic and they have to pull in front of you, even though they are not turning.

wow, im starting to feel better!

people that wear so much perfume/cologne they leave a trail, or you smell them before you see them. i know you liek to smell it, but what makes you think i want to smell it? (i am alergic to some of it BTW)

people that throw cigerettes/ trash out their window. especially the ones that dump their ash tray at the stop light.

oh yea, the ones that never turn their high beams off, even during the day. high beams are not a spare set of lights for when the lows burn out. like the deuche behind me this morning with his HB's on.

ok, my meds have kicked in, i can start my day now.

The really strong perfume lady!

We used to have a customer that as soon as she walked in everyone in the building knew she was there. We had a 5,000 sq foot building with 5 separate HVAC units. I worked in the back of the building. Her perfume was so strong I could taste it from the far part of the building. We all did a happy dance when we heard she was moving out of state.

Teenagers hanging out at playgrounds in packs dropping F-bombs. I approach them & tell them I don't care to explain copulation to my 6 year old.

Asshats that park in the fire lanes at busy strip malls so they can run into the pizza/video/ect store real quick, further clogging the parking lot.

Religious zealots who ignore the no soliciting sign on my front door. They say " we're not soliciting". I ask, " so if I attend your church, I won't need to give any money?"

Better yet, the heavy smoker lady who hoses herself down with really strong perfume because she thinks the two cancel each other out.

Wouldn't you like to get out at a light and take a bat to his headlights?

Just calmy walk back, smash each side until out, and then give them the ol'"two thumbs up" salute.

Found another one one the way home from my morning job... A-holes who are in the left lane wanting to make a right so they just push you out of the way figuring you like your car so you'll slam on your brakes. At on intersection in town this happen a lot though nothing as close as yesterday.

This sick phenomenon has existed at the 2 gyms I have been a member of for the past 25 years. I always try to avoid eye (or any other type!) contact and hurry the ph-u-ck up and get dressed and get the hell out....our guy is a conversationalist!!! There is a couch in the dressing area and he is always sitting on there bare a$$ed reading the paper with his legs crossed YUCK!!! And yes, no towel or anything between his balls and stuff or the couch!!!

Not about advancement opportunities, questions about the company or anything else that might have shown some intelligence or interest in the job. He asked what kind of food I liked.

busted!!!
