I hate ...well most people in general but what really gets me raging is the "plop and droppers", you know the idiot that speeds way up to get in front of you and then significantly reduces speed. I could kill them !!

People who can't drive themselves; by this I mean those drivers who, on their way to passing you (or vise verse) pull in behind you and stay there.
![]() One day going to work (6am Sunday no traffic) a woman gets on behind me, speeds up until she is less than a car off my bumper and stays there for the next 10miles, I exit the x-way as she continues to tailgate me. After speeding up/slowing down several times she refused to move, now it's been almost 20miles of no traffic 4 lane road and she's still so close she could count my hair follicles so I checked my brakes (better to be safe right?). Now she passes me like I did something wrong. ![]() Drive yourself or eat my bumper!!! PS. to have fun with these types while in the Porsche, on the exchange ramps I go as fast as possible and watch them as they struggle to keep from hitting the wall.

Common idiot sighting around here: People driving around while wearing a hoodie...with the hood up. No peripheral vision but they sure do look cool. Can usually be seen in a clapped-out Honda with an unpainted body kit.

Sounds like a personal problem. I wear an earpiece all day every day. It is unlawful in Washington State to talk on the phone while driving, without a "hands free" device. Plus, not having to hold a phone to your ear is WAY WAY less distracting, and it frees both hands. I spend hours on the phone daily. So if you're thinking that Blue Tooth Earpiece Guy is trying to appear "better than you," that's really your problem.
Plus.......it provides an explanation for when I talk to myself.

Okay, I see more posts about Bluetooth Guy. Again, I am Bluetooth Guy and the reason is for the practicality. And yeah, it stays on all day. Why? Because I forget it's there, plus, my phone rings a lot. I'm aware that a bunch of folks have a psychological problem with Bluetooth Guy pretending to be arrogant or "super-important" but again, that sounds like a personal problem. They're very practical, if your state disallows driving while talking without one, and if you're on the phone five hours per work day.

I don't mind the blue tooth earpiece, Supe. I think that's great. It's bluetoothearpieceguy.
Bluetoothearpieceguy looking straight at me and talking to someone on his phone, or bluetoothearpieceguy at the busy counter at the airport McDonalds talking on his phone and not ordering and holding up the line, or bluetoothearpieceguy in the front row at a concert is the stuff that mystifies me. I could edit my original post to say Stupid Mother Fer Guy but it would have been ineffective.

I certainly agree. You're talking about RudeAndObliviousGuy.

RAO guy was probably one of those that carried one of the first cell phones with him everywhere so folks would know how important he was.

Just had an encounter with a two old friends (husband wife) last nite. Ran into them at a pool hall near my house. I knew they would pass directly in front of my house on their way home (they didn't realize I had moved) and since I used to race SCCA with husband invited them to stop by on their way home for a drink. Hadn't really seen them in 4-5 years.
Hussband is one of the nicest guys I've ever met. Wife is fine but I'f forgotten how much she grates on my nerves. I digress...here's what annoys me with her and people like her: When they arrive I ask what they'd like to drink and volunteer that I have a variety of beer, spirits, wine...name your poison. Wife and I have a fully stocked bar with multiple brands of any liquor, I keep 4-8 different beer brands in the garage fridge at any given time, a variety of moderate white/red wins...nothing exotic or ultra-expensive...we just keep stuff largely for this very reason. So husband says "A whiskey or bourbon/water if you have it." Fine...I suggest Knob Creek...he's delighted because its one of his favorites. Wife says "Oh I don't know." I ask if she wants a cocktail, wine, beer soft drink. She's still indecisive. Then she takes it upon herself to go to the bar and go thru everything on the counter. Then she opens the cabinets and starts pulling bottles out looking at them...then she begins a running commentary about how she likes this blended whiskey better than that, or what kind of single malt scotch she likes but I don't have that do I? Mind you I had 4 different mid grade scotches and I rarely drink it. I would dare say I could provide 99% of the population their adult beverage of choice on the spur of the moment. Then she starts going thru several bottles of red wine and continuing her running commentary on what she likes. Finally, since she apparently can't find anything that meets her sophisticated palate, she says "Oh..I'll just have some Absolut and tonic...you do have fresh lime?" This whole ordeal took 15-20 minutes...much of which time I ignored her. I guess my beyotch is when I invite someone to my home for a drink, it annoys the PI$$ outta me for them to inventory, snoop and snobbishly critique my hospitality.

That's very bizarre behavior... scary that someone can be that "un-self aware."
Does she motormouth and push herself/her ideas/interests out in front and dominate/run away with conversations to the point that they cease to be conversations... merely everyone listening to her and waiting for her to run out of steam so they can talk, too? I know a few people like that. Some of 'em are wayyy worse when they get a coupla drinks in 'em, too. Ugh.
