bad drivers- list your pet peeves!

Women drivers.


No survivors.

Tail gaters, I'll break check
People who slow down to 40 to exit the free way
people who pull half way out in to the lane to see if it clear to go, its not cause I'm about to crash into you- my truck is bigger so get out of my way
People who go around you on the freeway so that they get to the exit before you. -seriously you're not getting a special prize for beating me there.
People who drive with their dogs in their laps. - if they get into an accident the dog will be killed against them.
People who only let their blinkers blink once, did you accidently hit it?

When that stupid **** going 55mph won't get outta the left lane...

I have SO many driving pet peeves. It's all I think about when I'm in the car.

1. When someone is weaving in and out of traffic every 8 seconds because it's absolutely unacceptable to NOT be the very first car.

2. When someone gets in the other lane at a red light and then jumps the light to switch lanes and get in front of everyone else. Like their time is so much more goddam important than everyone else's.

3. This morning I changed lanes to pass this gas truck and as soon as I did, it changed lanes too. Then, after I got back in the other lane, the car in front of me was going 30 in a 55 (yes, it's icy and we don't NEED to go 55 because we're smart and we left early so we could take it easy and not crash, but we don't need to go 30 either), so I switched lanes again to pass her and the car in front of her switched lanes immediately afterward and then went even slower! So yeah, people who get in front of you even though you are clearly trying to pass, or people who get in front of you and then go slow.

4. No one seems to understand how a 4-Way-Stop works. I've seen people sit at the intersection waiting for another car to pull up from another direction before they'll go.

5. There's a local radio station with a commercial about how confusing an uncontrolled intersection is. But it's not. How confusing is "yield to the right"? Not confusing.

6. People who smoke in their cars with kids in the car.

7. People who try to wave you through an intersection even though you have a stop sign and they don't.

8. When people block the intersection. Just because you can't go doesn't mean I shouldn't be able to!

9. People who don't stop for pedestrians when the pedestrian is on a corner (pedestrians in the middle of the street can **** themselves; walk down the street 10 feet and then the law says we have to stop for you).

10. People who don't stop at the red light when they're turning right because if they did, they would be behind you, the person who has the green light.

11. People who don't turn into the correct lane or don't establish a lane before changing.

12. People who don't obey the rules of the 4-Way-Stop because they're turning right and somehow that makes them exempt and they can just go whenever the hell they want.

13. When someone is going to pass you, but they do it so slowly that you end up right on the *kitten* of the person in front of you because it's taking so long for that dill-hole to pass you.

14. When people nearly hit you and it's their fault, but they still give you the finger or yell obscenities at you.

15. Not drivers, but when people on bikes don't follow traffic laws or ride three across instead of in a row so you can't pass them, even though they're going 10 MPH.

That's not all (I really hate pretty much every other person driving on the road who isn't me), but I have to pee, so, I'm gonna call that good.

People who speed in the shoulder!!! Have seen this twice this month!

I saw this last spring. I'll admit, I was intentionally being a *****, but this guy came speeding up behind me and he was darting in and out of traffic, so I got up next to the car in the right lane and then just paced it so the guy couldn't pass. Obviously his *kitten* was on fire or something because he sped around the both of us on the shoulder, just to turn at the next intersection. Not sure what the emergency was; the hospital is in the opposite direction and the only thing out that way is a couple of businesses.

I am the bad driver everyone flips off... I'm just easily distracted oh wait is that the door, I like butterflies.

USE YOUR GODDAMN TURN SIGNAL. IT WILL MAKE EVERYTHING EASIER, WITH THE CASUAL SIDE EFFECT OF OCCASIONALLY SAVING LIVES.


I hate it. Car manufacturers have done everything they can to put it in a convenient place. It takes almost no extra effort, and people still don't use them or, worse, use them incorrectly.

*people that park crooked (or take up 2 spots ) in parking lots

Don't even get me started on parking!

Okay, just one:

My son has a disability and he has gotten speech therapy, occupational therapy (is still getting) and physical therapy. The place that he goes to works almost entirely with children with disabilities, so in addition to their handicapped spot, they also have two spots that are reserved for patrons with disabilities (I felt too guilty to park there for a long time because my legs work just fine, but after I told the speech language pathologist that, she laughed at me and said it was perfectly fine for me to park there because my son is a patron who has a disability). Last winter, this woman used to always park her big jacked up SUV (not even a nice, new SUV either; it was a POS) in the reserved spots even though there were other spots available, and when the owner went out and asked her if she had child in therapy there, she said no, her kids were just upstairs in piano lessons. And she was just sitting out there reading a magazine! Why, why, WHY does she have to park in a spot that is specifically reserved for other people just because it's closer (or closest on one side) to the door when she's not even getting out of the car? I had to park two lots over in the library lot and carry my son through the snow because she wanted to sit close to the door. She was told several times not to park there. And on the one time that I beat her and took the second reserved spot, she parked in the handicapped spot! WTH?

I hate when I am passing somebody traveling 10 miles under the speed limit and when I'm coming up on them, they decide to hit the gas. WTF!?!

You are freaking them out.

Look out for what's happening more than 3 seconds ahead of you, so you can make the change with 1-2 car lengths between you and them. There you go, everyone comfortable.

Another peeve: frigging headlights are too bright. I don't think they used to be this bright. That or they're higher than they used to be, now that everyone apparently needs to drive an SUV or freaking sports utility vehicle. I'm blinded half the time I drive at night.

I really hate those people who sit at stoplights forever, with a green light, then eventually go. Also, those people on the highway who will drive incredibly slow, then you pass them, then they zoom up on your butt and tailgate you until you get over.

and not to forget the ones who change lanes without using brake lights, leaving you four car lengths behind a completely stopped car!
