Lets bring common sense back!!

Grimmerick

Most of these I agree with heartily, but some seem like 'please conform to my preferences' rather than really dumb things. People pass me in the fast lane all the time because I refuse to sit behind someone going slower than the speed limit for miles when I'm going comfortably along at slightly above the speed limit. And I don't turn right on red because I don't have to, unless I feel like it. I'm not in that big of a hurry 99% of the time.

technically no one is supposed to be in the fast lane it's a passing lane you are supposed to get in it to pass someone then get back out of it again. So you are supposed to pass that person that you don't want to sit behind and then get back over in front of them. Sorry but just because you aren't in a hurry doesn't mean someone else isn't. Pregnant and on the way to the hospital my friend got stuck behind a person like that.

Passing does not have to be at the top speed of my car. I merely was saying that if I'm passing some slow people at my speed, but you'd like to pass me even faster, that's not my problem.

ETA: I really wasn't trying to start an argument, just making my observation. Please don't take it as such.

Oh definitely if you are going to get back over then you don't have to feel that rushed by the person behind you, I mean don't take forever haha but I am more patient with that, It just annoys me when someone rides in the fast lane at just above the speed limit and has a line of cars a mile long behind them. No worries

Here's another: If you order hot coffee from somewhere, don't try to sue them when you burn yourself trying to drink it...WTF...if you want cold coffee, ask for some ice cubes!

for me..... my hubby is severely lacking in common sense... dishes go in the dishwasher, not the sink..... that is why we have a dishwasher.... clothes go in the laundry basket in your closet with your clean clothes, not ALL over my house. If your putting things on top of things in the recycling bin, it probably needs to be taken out.

in life in general... cyclists IF you plan on using the SIDEWALK, please announce your presence BEHIND me before you ride up on me and my dog so she doesn't try and take a chunk out of your *kitten* for scaring the shyt outta her. Tourists.... I get that you want to take pictures and see the sights, but pull the hell over and do it on foot. Some of the traffic your in DOES actually live here and are actually trying to get somewhere, like work.

Let the people off the train before you try to push your way on.

If you are traveling with child, do not drown out their attempts to get your attention by turning up your ipod.

Do not laugh at the man with a small child who gave up his seat to the very pregnant woman.

oh, and if you are in a store and your 5 year old says they have to pee, please don't ignore them !!!!!

If the sign says "Right Lane Closed Ahead" please merge your happy *kitten* behind me. Don't speed up and try to squeeze in front of me.

Going against the already 3-page strong thread. Why the heck is this a thread subject in the first ****ing place?

to answer your question
1. Because I want it to be (most important)
2. It's in Chit-Chat so we can post what we like (within forum rules)
3. being that it's three pages obviously people like it, so why not (what's it to you)

I quoted someone's thoughts on this thread for you, here is what she said.
Now THAT isht is funny!!! Yes, you have made my headache filled day with this thread!!! (thats reason enough for me to post)

Now to ask you a question....or two......ok three.
What's your problem? Why did you post if you had nothing of worth to contribute? Was it just to be rude?

I can see that you are fairly new here so maybe you don't know about the chit/chat part, so if you were just ignorant to the fact that this is posted in the correct place then you can ignore what I have said, if you were trying to be rude and it sure sounded that way then please read on and let it soak in.

Sorry about that guys just can't let my thread die with the last person posting being a d!ck.

When you're driving down the highway, and you see that there is someone trying to merge on the right and there is NO ONE in the left lane, turn on your blinker and slide over.

Agrred. A little more common courtesy on the highway. I ride home and in the space of 1 mile have to change highways 3 times. Merging twice from the right and once from the left.

Courtesy. Left, Right, Left, Right. That's all we need to do. Let one in, slide in, let one in, slide in.

Just because you are in the lane being merged into, doesn't gibe you proprietery rights. If you have a probelm with the design, don't take it out on the poor driver trying to merge. Write a nastygram to the DOT or the Local Corps of Engineers or Dept of Highways, whatever.

And by the way, I ride a motorcycle. When I point to the spot in front of you, I'm not asking permission; I'M TELLING YOU WHERE I AM GOING!

Since I've been seeing this time and time again here's a piece of common sense I think a number of people clearly need:

THE CHIT CHAT, FUN AND GAMES SECTION OF THE FORUM IS NOT ONLY FOR WEIGHT MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION. IT IS FOR CHIT CHAT, FUN AND GAMES.

Thank you.

Children should not drive carts in the grocery store................they run into things.......and people.......and they sit the cart in the middle of the aisle.

If you are going to get over in front of me, use a frickin blinker........are your hands broken (then you shouldnt' be driving).......oh wait your cell phone is in your hand

I can see in your side view mirror that you are texting while you are driving.........and you are going 10mph under the speed limit and hitting your breaks randomly with no one in front of you. Obviously you can't do both at the same time very well. Just pick one.

When you're drunk, be extra vigilant when zipping your fly. Don't just assume everything's where it should be and pull the rip cord. This small consideration avoids flesh mesh. :drinker:

The thread is DEAD cheerioh!

Handicapped parking spaces are for people with real disabilities. Not because your disabled mother died and you inherited the tag.

Not all "disabled" people need a wheelchair or even a cane. Some people simply just need to walk less, so it can be hard to tell sometimes.

Though I guess it gets obvious if the only person that walks out of the car is some energetic teenager skipping his way to the store!

Again you contributed nothing of worth, you don't have to be snarky just because you don't understand what the chit/chat forum is for, just tuck your tail and hope this thread goes away so not everyone on here will see what kind of person you are on others threads, You are way older than I thought, shouldn't you be more mature than you are? I guess it takes all kinds in the world. No I don't think anyone knows what you mean, why don't you sit and explain yourself since you brought my thread back oh and go ahead and answer the questions while you are at it. It's very amusing

Interesting news story I saw a while back, the news crew actually went to a metro parking lot and watched people park in the handicapped areas, now most of the people really were handicapped, but man they caught a lot of people that weren't but had the tag for it. Then they would go up and ask them what their handicap was (only if they were pretty sure they weren't) One woman was walking in like 5 inch heels, and she got so mad. She was like I'm not telling you anything and tried to run off. They also caught a military guy (he admitted he knew he was wrong) they caught a bunch of other too but that lady was the worst.
