Now for the airing of grievances.

I gotta real beef with these folks that are just sure they got texting or social network updating/reading (includes MFP now) down while driving.
And this after they have sat at green lights while the cars in front are gone for 10 seconds, while driving they keep going out of their lane on both sides, and despite all this display of their poor ability to do 2 things at once, keep trying to do it.
Then when they reach a break and pay attention to driving fully, now feel the need to get in front of me after I finally got around them for safety's sake.

Someone has the pole ready? Good. Now for some feats of strength, very appropriate for MFP.

    Oh and weaving back and forth between lanes claiming "oh it's the wind". PUT THE PHONE DOWN AND LEARN TO CONTROL YOUR VEHICLE!!!

    I am with you on this HB!!! I am amazed everyday how many times I see people texting/FB'ing on their phones while driving. Some people try to be slick and hide it, others don't even care and are so obvious about it. :explode:

    It's ILLEGAL for a reason! It's dangerous! :mad: :mad:

    I rode with my sister in law (age 67) last Sunday to a baby shower, praying the whole way there that I'd make it alive. She wasn't texting--she was distracted. She can't talk to other people in the car, drink diet Coke, choose what CD to play, and drive at the same time. I cannot tell you how many times she crossed over the center line or went off the side of the road, but at least a dozen.

    I said something to her and so did the other passenger. On the way home, she was better, but it still happened. I won't be riding with her again. I'll drive myself. I told my husband, too, that his older sister scared the heck out of me.

    MFP needs a "scared s---less" emoticon in the Add Smiley collection.

    Edit: Speaking of MFP, having ALL of my recipes in alphabetical order would be a wonderful thing. And so would being able to change/edit recipes.

    No one had to join me with mine, though I'm glad many dislike seeing it.

    This is for your own grievances too, work, business, ect. Go for it.
