    What grinds my gears...

    is people who could care less about the speed they're driving until I try to pass them. Very frustrating, especially when I'm using my cruise control so I know I didn't slow down.

    This x 1000.

    Also, people who don't accelerate in the acceleration lane as they're getting on the freeway. It's 65 mph, not 35 mph.

    Yep...
    OR...
    the twatwaffle who blows thru the yield sign in the onramp..forcing ME to swing over into the left lane to avoid being hit...

    Yield means YIELD..meaning YOU yield to ME..

    On the subject of parents and their annoying talking to their kids..I had one in the store the other day..I heard EVERY part of their iternary for the next 20 minutes..then kid started screaming..like SCREAMING..and mom walked thru the store with her kid like that, oblivious to the cain he was raising.

    I am a parent..raised my son to almost 14 years and hes a damn smart, well mannered kid..and guess what, not once did I make an *kitten* of myself in public when he was younger (now, these days, making an *kitten* is all in good fun..because of the embarassment aspect)..showed up to pick him up at his very prestigious soccer camp yesterday hauling my flat trailer..which contained a sheep transport cage, loose hay and some wood flooring..shame the lamb wasnt still in the cage..but Id dropped him at the processor before..yep...looking pretty redneck..poor kid..LOL

    I had a serious peeve to share, and then you introduced me to my new favorite term, twatwaffle. I am now happy for stopping by this thread.

    People who have issues with cyclists.

    Thank you.

    Sometimes you have to go on the sidewalk to avoid the psychopaths that are trying to kill you when there is no path or shoulder. Whatareyagonnado, lay down and die? After getting hit by a stupid lady once, if I have to go on the sidewalk for a few seconds I will. And I ride in New York City, dude!

    And not all cyclist are a-holes. Some of US actually respect cars and pedestrians. So please don't lump US all together like that.

    Not nice.

    Walking 3kms in the sun to check out a MMA club that said they are open, only to get there and find they were doing a once a month women's class. so no men even allowed to ask questions. After even checking they were open.

    Now that grinded my gears big time, will find somewhere else to train .

    oh that's annoying.

    I would have been seriously peeved.



    I'm rather irritable today for a lot of reasons- but I HATE. Don't ask me why- but I HATE when people leave 5 seconds or whatever on the microwave.

    Now- to be fair- I am one of those people who can barely wait till 1 and it goes DING (unless I walk away)- but I ALWAYS clear out the timer- HATE when there is time on there still. No idea- makes me crazy.

    to keep with the theme, living in a town with no bike lanes and hardly any sidewalks. :wink:

    other things? children. cell phones going off at inappropriate times (i was just at my grandmother's funeral and someone's phone went off at full volume not even five minutes into the service, Nice). being flirted with in any way. but the worst is repetitive sounds - heavy breathing, snoring, alarms buzzing, tapping, muffled music from someone's headphones. i've had full blown panic attacks from being trapped with a sound where i can't do anything about it.

    People going under the speed limit while in the fast lane....that won't move over. -____-

    People who have the need to be right all the time, even when they are painfully wrong.

    The sound of someone blowing their nose is worse than nails on a chalkboard to me. lol

    Women/Men (usually women) that stand in the middle of an aisle or entry way because they see someone they know and want to chat.... I don't care if you chat, but do the courteous thing and move to the side a bit so foot traffic can flow normally....
