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.

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.

A more recent one: Every website or company wanting me to install their app. No, I will not install your app on my phone that wants access to location, bluetooth, filesystem, contacts, and email. Just make your website work for mobile.

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.......
