Guy at work using the "Oh are you losing weight?" to hit on me. I've been the same weight (well within 5 pounds) since I started this job in March. He didn't know me before I started and has no idea I have lost 130+ pounds. Drives me nuts! Probably more so since I was so heavy, I have issues with anyone commenting about my weight period much less using it to start up a conversation. :grumble:0

When you walk into a clothing store and the sales clerk asks you "what brings you into the store today?" What??? Ummm...groceries? :noway:0

Group texts.
that doesn't annoy me- what annoys me is the MASS of "reply all" via text or email- like seriously people? don't you under stand this?
Or when you text back and instead of staying in the group message it sends out individually, so you end up getting a ton of texts from random numbers like "Who is this?" C'mon! Isn't it obvious I was responding to a group text?!0 -

Cyclists really grind my gears. either you follow the rules of cars or pedestrians- not both.
cyclists know that you follow the rules of cars if you're on the road...it's generally the lay rider that does not know what they're doing.
They also shouldn't ride on narrow roads with no shoulder or a shoulder that is a 6 foot deep drainage ditch!! Cyclists also should not ride in groups of 40 in 3 abreast formation. They need to remember that a car will barely feel them as they bounce off our bumpers.
Agree fully on the 3 abreast, annoys me! Or the Cyclists that are out on a major road during rush hour slowing things down. I don't mind most of the time, but when I am trying to get to work on time....0 -
People driving 15 mph under on a freeway, first of all, and then when five or six cars are doing that and that one guy who decides to go 14 under gets in the fast lane blocking you!!!!
I was just about to post something similar. Last weekend I got behind a guy going 50 in a 70 in the middle lane and got stuck for a few miles because traffic was too heavy in the lanes beside us to be able to pass. :explode:0 -

A "lay rider" is still a cyclist. They are on a bike. AND THEY KNOW the rules (I will make exceptions for children obviously). They simply choose to be annoying.
I beg to differ...they are riders of bikes, not cyclists.0 -

That exact problem. yes- that's the problem and it makes me crazy.
mass emails- old corworker sent one out to the small group of us (we are all same age-ish) and said WE"RE PREGNANT!
and EVERYONE hit reply all. So my fckign in box was flooded with CONGRATS.
my standard reply of "HIGH FIVE YOU CAN HAVE SEX!!!!!"I messaged separately.0 -

Totally agree with you on that, get to the right or get off the road!folks who cruise along, at the speed limit or below, in the left lane..
Ive traveled alot lately, trailer in tow and I wish people would understand..the left lane is for PASSING..not cruising!
yep! or a variation..cut me off..as Im trying to pass you..loaded down trailer with hay and sheep (which all probably cost 3 times what your little POS car does) and THEN proceed to slow down..0 -

They also shouldn't ride on narrow roads with no shoulder or a shoulder that is a 6 foot deep drainage ditch!! Cyclists also should not ride in groups of 40 in 3 abreast formation. They need to remember that a car will barely feel them as they bounce off our bumpers.
Agree fully on the 3 abreast, annoys me! Or the Cyclists that are out on a major road during rush hour slowing things down. I don't mind most of the time, but when I am trying to get to work on time....
apparently it is the drivers who don't actually know the rules of the road...
share the road *****es and stop trying to clip me when you have plenty of room for your big *kitten* SUV to get through.0 -

hmmmmm 3 riders side by side on a busy road is just arrogant.
I had a issue with one the other day. I was in the right hand lane setting up to turn right with my indicator on. a bike rider that was behind me was unhappy he couldn't get beside me on my right so hit the back of my car.
then in typical rider fashion got beside me and kicked my door and mouthed off.
This is not a one off either, it speaks to what I am speaking about0 -
OK, so first of all I had to google fleshlight. Sooo glad I did not do that at work! :laugh: And dishwasher?! Yuck! :sick:
I'm definitely in the group that hates motorists who don't use their indicators.
Today my pet peeve is stupid questions. My telephone conversation today went something like this:
Customer: I ordered a letter and I had an email 3 days ago to say that you'd posted it but it's not turned up.
Me; I'm very sorry about that but once a letter leaves our office we have no way of tracking it.
Customer: Oh, well can I come and collect it?
Me: well no, because we posted it three days ago so we no longer have it :laugh: .
This is not an unusual conversation for our office, we have to do this every. single. day. :sad:0 -

Were you in the bike lane?
I've had the opposite experience: I am riding in the right lane, the driver to my left decides he needs to turn now, looks at me, and makes the turn. Into me. Not fun.0 -

Yes, that would be fine...just keep your bumper to yourself.0 -
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.0 -

There was no bike lane. it was at a intersection with people crossing the turn I was about to make.0 -
Drivers who:
-block an entire lane of traffic because they insist on turning at the break in the median (usually the exit for the oncoming traffic's turning lane) rather than going to the actual provided turning lane a few yards away.
-cut me off to turn a block ahead although there was no one behind me and waiting 2 seconds for me to pass would ensure they didn't get rear-ended.
- leave two full car lengths between them and the car ahead of them at stop light. I often daydream of parallel parking in front them just for giggles.0 -
RemakesMovie sequels usually grind my gears.0 -
The fact that fleshlights don't clean themselves.
Can I watch?0 -
people who treat the homeless like they are walking infectious diseases0

Rule of thumb: always be able to see the rear tires of the car in front when coming to and at a stop. This allows most vehicles enough room to maneuver evasively from potential threats approaching rear quarter.- leave two full car lengths between them and the car ahead of them at stop light.

I generally happily share the road, and it's not all cyclists, its the ones that don't obey the laws. I can't drive my car three abreast, neither should a cyclist.
I also do have one argument about how the people driving cars should act...we pay taxes based on our car that we drive on the roads, the cyclist does not. Although I also don't think this gives drivers a right to be a**holes.
I ride a bike and drive a car - I am in no means a cyclist, but I ride on streets with little traffic or on trails because I don't think I need to be on a main road.
And I do not drive a big SUV0 -

If you passed him or WERE passing him within 50 meters of the intersection, you did wrong. If you were stopped and he was riding up between card and the curb, he was wrong.There was no bike lane. it was at a intersection with people crossing the turn I was about to make.0 -
Read my post correctly... he was behind me0
