politicization of common sense and basic decencies.

Brainwashed white college kids participating in BLM riots.

Nissan drivers in AZ, having to sit thru 'girlfriends' events. Rather shoot myself than go the 'girls' some stupid gathering.

In fact, just hanging around the opposite sex (not your own GF) is annoying, followed by being around strangers for long periods of time. AKA group events.

Thread is broken just like the random pics thread. :(

People that say “axe” instead of ask.

Loaded semi trucks stopping at the red light....in the left lane........going uphill

People who don’t pronounce the g at the end of words ending in “ing”.

Semis in the middle or fast lane impedin traffic. ;)

1st car in the right lane not turning right on red.

I was behind a Ford Shelby pickup truck. I had no idea there was such a thing, but I expected it to be driven at least up to the speed limit. He left the stop sign like there was ice on the road. It was sunny and 95 degrees so chance of ice was zero. The speed limit was 50. He got all the way up to 35. I finally had a chance to pass him. He was just out for a mosey and I was out to go somewhere.

I have no idea the specs of the Shelby pickup, but I suspect it is faster then the average pickup. Not with him driving.

Edit: Wow!

Political commercials which end with:

"This ad approved by (insert d'bag name here)".

Why would we care about something like that? All those ads are pretty lame, anyway. And that's being very generous!

People that do not pull up to the line at a red light, but stay a car's length back.
It's like they are going to get a rolling start or something.

Just as bad - the ones who go past the line......an entire car's length - or more! :eek:

Well, you can't expect everyone in the "slow lane" to turn right. That doesn't irk me as much as when that 1st car in line--despite having adequate space to do so--won't scooch over to the left side of the lane to allow others behind to slip through and make that right on red. Or people who gridlock when stuck at a red light and block intersections and driveways.

As you are crossing through and they stop in front of you!

I was thinking more that they are so far forward their vehicle doesn't trip the detector under the pavement and/or they block a large truck/vehicle from making the turn in past them. Then they are trying to back up while the truck/vehicle sits there unable to move. A big unavoidable mess....

Totally agree...I don't want your stinkin app on my phone.
If I can't get it without....so be it.

My traffic pet peeve is when driving and approaching an intersection where I have the total right-of-way.
A car, on the side street, coming to one of the stop signs stops early. Then, when I am withing 50 yds of the stop, he/she decides to quickly move ahead to fill in the space.

They don't realize what the thru driver sees. My brake foot automatically clamps down hard when seeing this....I don't want to take the chance.:(

Articles about electric cars that use electricity puns "Volvo's Shocking new Polestar 2 EV." "Lightning strikes again, as Mercedes released second EV."

Service manuals with zero reference to changing out corroded fuel lines. :mad:

This is on my Honda VFR motorcycle.

I have two service manuals....one by Haynes, the other by Clymer. Neither one mentions AT ALL anything about fuel line replacement. Even though....this is one of the most common repairs made to ANY vintage motorcycle (or any vehicle for that matter).

Of course, I can figure it out on my own. But with all the crap in those manuals that I will never need......you would think.......

People who painted over door hardware, especially in older houses. My 80 year old cottage has brass hardware and I have spent days removing multiple coats of paint. Once I get the parts removed from the doors I cook them in hot water for a few hours and most of the paint comes off easily.

Drivers who react to every stimulus by braking.
Drivers who use the brake pedal instead of the button to cancel cruise control.
Drivers who don't use entrance ramps to accelerate.
Drivers, period.
People.

This happens to me at least weekly when approaching the stop sign before entering a two lane state highway... some moron/s cut across the stop line I am about to stop at forcing me to slam on the brakes to avoid hitting them. Worse yet, their left turn to where I am approaching has no visibility of cars approaching the stop which any person with one functioning brain cell would figure out they should go around the stop line just in case.

Get off my lawn!!

It's a requirement added many years ago to prevent crap ads that have nothing to do with the candidate that they would never personally approve.

Drivers entering a freeway on the on-ramp and not matching the speed of the traffic flow. They expect the driver(s) in the far right lane to slow down to let them in. This creates an accordion effect and, at worst, bumper-to-bumper traffic in the right lane. Speed UP!

the women that have to swing left to turn right........you're not driving a semi.........
self-appointed speed police.........if you don't want to do the speed limit, pull over.......
stopping 300 feet away for the railroad crossing.........the train isn't going to jump off and hit you 5 car lengths away...........
outracing the motorcycles to a red light..........yes they're old bikes, but is it really that important.....

One of the ladies I worked with talked about how she always had problems getting on the highway. She would pull to the end of the on-ramp and stop. :eek:

So I waited until the 5:00 PM rush hour to teach her how to do it in her car. Apply the loud pedal, and get as much speed as possible to match traffic speed. I did it with no issues 5 times in a row. So she tried it. Amazing enough, when going traffic speed it is easy to merge in. When a long 18 wheeler was coming, tap the brakes, and slow enough to pull in behind it.

She finally learned, and a month later mentioned she no long feared getting on the interstate.

Interesting.

To me they are all crap ads....no matter the content.....:D

I haven't read through all 40 pages, but here's mine -

Landscapers who insist on backpack-blowing all the debris from the STREET over to my property, driveway, and cars.

Do they get paid extra to detail the pavement after they do the grounds ?

Sorry, it pisses me off and I don't understand it.

Around here the lawn crews blow all the debris out into the street. Of course motorcycles have a hard time with that, and it gets all over any car that drive through. And it is illegal. It does not stop them.

Agree 100%. Lawn care comes through the HOA property on Wednesday, street sweeping on Thursday morning, just in time to blow grass and debris all over everyone's cars in the parking lot.

My new pet peeve is the other HOA - doing landscaping on the park 4 days out of the week. Monday through Thursday, like clockwork, 9:00 through 12:30. Makes it very frustrating to work at home and try to take calls. Drives my allergies nuts too.

On a two lane road.

Service vehicle parked blocking road up ahead.

Oncoming vehicle stops - you know - because they want you to get around the service vehicle.

The problem is......the service vehicle is not blocking them. They do not need to stop. They need to keep going.

So I can get around the service vehicle.

This is normally when my arm is out the window motioning them (with much vigor) to proceed.

But unfortunately, there's a vehicle ahead of me who just sits there.

So we have everyone stopped.

No vehicles moving.

Idiots...

Thinking about the blower thing moving debris out in the street, it happens to me when driving past. Once in awhile a gardener will see me and direct the blower away. Most are unaware because of the noise and indeed can walk out in front of your car.

But thinking, I should carry a battery blower with me and get out and blow right back at them.

Coupons that expire a week later.

Just today. I had "someone" (Not reveling who it was for fear of sleeping in the basement for a long, long time) helping me navigate to a place we'd never been before. I'm driving, watching the road, and she says, "OK, turn that way." Like I've been watching for hand signals from her. The best one was when we came to a tee intersection and she said, "OK, turn here."

On a windy two lane road in the country with blind corners, people who drive the center of the road into the corners, forcing the opposing oncoming car to take an evasive action.

This happens on the road up to my road, so I bought 2 cans of white pavement marking paint and laid down center lines on the corners. Reduced incidents by 75% and received many thank yous while defacing county property.

Sounds like the Prius I followed onto the highway today. Only he had no problem making the gap in traffic. It was I, the car behind, that had a difficult time merging into traffic. Even a gap in traffic that starts off fitting several semi-tractor trailers will dwindle down to nothing if you're doing 10 mph slower than the prevailing speed and make no effort to accelerate and match it. Who gets onto a highway and dawdles along at 50 mph?

I love it when fine upstanding neighbors have several huge nasty oil stains on their concrete driveway from the junk crap cars they accumulate and are too lazy to clean them up EVER.
They're usually accompanied by even more oil stains on the street in front of their house and dead brown grass instead of yard.
Does wonders for property values.

Let me get this right, there is a guy here on a Porsche forum complaining about other people's oil stains? :eek:
