Things that really annoy me.

Tim

I haven't made a good post on here for a while, so it's time for something everyone can contribute to.

But before I begin my initial list, I'll pre-empt the one thing half of you are sure to write. "People who still use IE6". HAHAHA yeah you got me. Zap.

Now then:

Here are some things that really annoy me.

1. Idiotic gas station employees who, when changing the gas price signs, put the 8's in upside down. The 8's ARE NOT symmetrical! There's a big side and a small side! Look at the hole in each side, you can see the difference. And gas station employees have at least a 50% FAIL rate at getting the 8's in the right way.

2. People who hang those fake plastic balls off the trailer hitch of their pickup truck. Sheer moronic level brain activity. These are the same ones who wear a baseball cap, drink, smoke, and listen to country music really loud while driving. Many of the things from #3 can also be found on their vehicles.

3. Any vehicle that is jacked up, slammed down to the ground, or has non-factory oversize rims installed. And of course, 40-something inch tires on it. Also, anything that is now chrome that did not leave the factory with chrome on it.

4. People driving in front of me who have a very literal interpretation of speed limit and stop signs. Speed limits are merely a suggestion, and stop signs DO NOT mean stop. They mean "slow down a reasonable amount, make sure no other cars or people are likely to hit you in the intersection, and proceed on your way".

I'm sure I'll think of more later.

I occasionally listen to country music extremely loudly while driving, deal with it.

For anybody dumb enough to come here for traffic advice, please ignore number 4.

Or everything. Your call.

#2 does make me want to weep for western society as well. Listen too, I'm from Dundalk Maryland originally. There is not anywhere else I know that embraces tacky as much as we do. Pink lawn flamingos and decorative ornaments made out of Natty Boh cans are considered art here, and to that, I still can't get past the level of tacky that are fake testicles hanging from a truck. I kind of wish I could kick them and transfer the pain to the owner.

Stop signs and yield signs - 75 Pa. Cons. Stat. § 3323

(b) Duties at stop signs.--Except when directed to proceed
by a police officer or appropriately attired persons authorized
to direct, control or regulate traffic, every driver of a
vehicle approaching a stop sign shall stop at a clearly marked
stop line or, if no stop line is present, before entering a
crosswalk on the near side of the intersection or, if no
crosswalk is present, then at the point nearest the intersecting
roadway where the driver has a clear view of approaching traffic
on the intersecting roadway before entering. If, after stopping
at a crosswalk or clearly marked stop line, a driver does not
have a clear view of approaching traffic, the driver shall after
yielding the right-of-way to any pedestrian in the crosswalk
slowly pull forward from the stopped position to a point where
the driver has a clear view of approaching traffic. The driver
shall yield the right-of-way to any vehicle in the intersection
or approaching on another roadway so closely as to constitute a
hazard during the time when the driver is moving across or
within the intersection or junction of roadways and enter the
intersection when it is safe to do so.

I live in the same state as Tim. I'm now going to look for him and if I see him behind me, I'll be sure to come to a complete stop at every stop sign.

Other than disagreeing with #4 I could care less about the rest of your post. Stop signs mean stop. Doesn't mean you need to stop for 10 minutes while you do your make-up. But it does mean stop. As someone who's house is very near a wicked intersection and my 5 year old daughter runs to the door every time she hears a tire screech to see the accident - stop signs mean stop.

This is probably the most epic thread I've been in. I'm pretty sure there is a bloodline between Tim and I. I KNEW there was at least ONE other person that gets highly irritated at things others call ridiculous or not necessary. NICE! I've got a book worth of things to annoy me, lol!

@Tim @JBoogaloo Ignorance is NOT bliss.

AlexDeGruven

This post rules.

1. I can kind of get behind this.

2. I agree with this 100%

3. Agreed in the less-than-tasteful arena. It's difficult to customize a car to make it look better. It's much easier to customize a car to make it look like an utter disaster.

4.1 - Agreed.
4.2 - :tim:

1. Who gives a flying fuck if they put the 8 on the sign upside-down? I'd prefer if they got rid of that stupid 9/10 of a penny and charge me 4.00, not 3.999.

2. The truck nuts are the most idiotic "invention," and I agree with this. On part B, I don't give a shit what music you're listening to, as long as I don't have to also.

3. Yeah, I guess. The thing that bothers me most about customizing are the people who put fake hood scoops and/or fake Escalade-style intake vents on the side of the car. I saw a guy in my old neighborhood put a hood scoop on top of a hood scoop. On his Toyota Celica.

4. No. Never. A stop sign is a stop sign. Fuck you if you roll through a stop sign. Fuck you a thousand times, fuck you.

To all of you who feel strongly about #4, please do not ever come to California. We have the California Stop and it doesn't actually involve a stop much at all.
