Worst pet peeve while driving..........
Replies

5. People who tend to sit in their cars in parking lots until you move along to find a different spot before they leave..........one day this lady, in my gym parking lot, did this.........she tried to get me to move along and yet she was going on her way out of the parking lot heading for home. She waved at me to go on ahead and I waved at her to come out.......took at least 5 minutes to get this woman to move
:laugh: I have totally done this just to piss people off. It really annoys me when people have to "wait" for the closest spot to open up...just park somewhere and walk, you'd probably get to your destination faster than waiting for that car to move.
^^ This.
Why do people stress out about finding a close parking space so they wont have far to walk and then go in the store and walk for hours??
I agree. I hate the parking lot stalkers. I park in the back and walk - it's better for me. Unless you're handicapped, parking lot stalking is pure laziness - especially in smaller lots.
Depends though..........if there is a good reason for it, then I say more power to them to wait for you to leave so they can have the spot. However, if they look as though they aren't in any hurry at all.......nothing physically wrong with them........nor is the weather cold......then I do agree its pure laziness on their part0 -
People who think it's okay to cruise along in the PASSING lane on the Interstate. Did you ever see the sign "KEEP RIGHT EXCEPT TO PASS"? That means you. You aren't the police and it's not your job to keep everyone under the speed limit by driving in the passing lane. Even if you are exceeding the speed limit, pass if you are passing, then get TF over into the right lane unless ther is a line of slow cars. If you are in the passing lane and someone comes up behind you, you are supposed to MOVE OVER and not force them to pass on the right. Otherwise, you have people zipping by on right and left and trying to merge back over and that's when YOU are causing an accident. Ahhh.. I feel so much better now!0

You guys are *kitten*.. If you just moved over like you should in the first place.. no one would tailgate you.. try checking your rear view mirror.. if you have 15 cars behind you and none in front of you... I sure hope your getting tailgated!
Ahahahaahahhahahahaaj!!!!!!0 -
Other drivers who go 15-20 miles UNDER the speed limit. It's their right to go whatever speed they want to go, but it seems to always happen when I'm not able to pass, and I'm not the most patient person in the world.
And yeah, people who are going slow and then speed up when I go to pass them.....that pisses me off more than anything!!
When people honk at me for not automatically going on a green light....as in seconds after it turning green. If there aren't a lot of cars behind them, I have been known to sit there even longer to really give them a reason to honk at me. Jerks. (this has happened a lot in my area; apparently there are people more impatient than I am...haha)0 -
Stop sign observance--
STOP LOOK GO!!!!
NOT STOP LOOK and then creeeeppp thru annoyingly!!!!!
Jus' sayin'
There was a time I agreed with you on this...then I got a ticket for "not yielding at a stop sign". Which means...you STOP at the sign, and then creep forward before taking off!! BS, I know!0 -

Amen!
It's called a PASSING LANE for a reason.
I don't think we are *kitten*..........I think we are making a lot of sense here..........if you are going the speed limit.........even five miles ABOVE the speed limit and someone is tailgating.........that is a huge problem. Its people that are tailgating that is the problem in that scenario because they think of themselves as a nascar driver who seems to think that if you aren't going 100 mph, then you are going too slow. 15 cars or not.........if there are that many behind us, it just means the road is a normally busy one.......and if its bumper to bumper, then they have the same problem as the person behind you whose tailgating.
(strictly talking multilane highways here) Here the left highway lanes are actually passing lanes and you are supposed to move over if someone is trying to pass. It's called common courtesy. It's really none of your business why someone wants to pass... you aren't the police... maybe they have an emergency, maybe they DO think they're a nascar driver, heck maybe they are one, who cares? I have seen people clog up all the lanes with free sailing in front of them because they are all going the same speed and all refuse to move. It's stupid - and the people who refuse to move do so simply because they are stubborn and really for no other reason but they think they own the lane and omg why should they have to move over? Geez people even are slow to get out of a cops way - probably because they are too distracted by their texting or whatever else is more important.0 -
1) Not using turn signals
2) Waiting until the last possible minute to get into the correct lane
Yep, that's about it. I am not a very cranky driver.0 -

Regardless of the actual situation, tailgaters are a hazard. Because of them being so close, if you slow down or stop, chances are they will rear-end you. My father went through many cars back in the day because he did this and when the one he was tailgating would stop at a red light or slow to turn, even with signal, he didn't have the room to stop without impact.
If people going too slow in a lane or section of the road you think they ought to be going faster in, either speed up and get in front of them or roll your eyes and get over it. Don't decide to ride their bumper in hopes they'll quit being an *kitten* and speed up themselves. Chances are the person doesn't give a crap that you're behind them.0 -
Umm, maybe there are no other parking spots?

I hate when you can't find parking and there's no spots left, and then you see that some idiot has used up two spots and forgot how to park. UGH.
Hahaha...big pet peeve for me too. On one occasion I have left a note on windshields stating "wow, you are so awesome at parking! I can't believe I am witness to such an amazing event. I'm also so glad that now your 1995 Dodge Caravan with the wood panelling won't get it's door dinged"
I wish I would have been there to see the look on their face when they read it.
When I was in college I use to drive a little beat up Ford Escort with a sun roof, and when I pulled into the parkade at school I saw someone taking 2 spots...so I actually managed to SQEEZE my little car into the spot beside the idiot taking 2 spots. I actually has to exit my car via the sunroof, but it was well worth it. When I got back to my car after classes they guy was waiting because he couldn't get out. haha. He was so mad, and all I could do was laugh and tell him maybe next time he shouldn't be such a tool, and that if he likes I could teach him how to park.
That memory still makes me smile.
You are awesome!!!0 -

This is immature and dangerous. Doing that to the wrong person could have horrific results. People need to grow up.
Just let them pass. This isn't a driving game and you don't know who's in that vehicle you're messing with.0 -
People who don't check their mirrors and just pull across you and force you to break.
People who nip out just in front of you causing you to break and then go half the speed limit on a section of road you cannot overtake on.
People who go all the way around a roundabout in the left lane and don't indicate to come off.
When you are waiting in a queue of traffic, people nipping down the NO ENTRY section of road and stealing a parking space ahead of people who'd been queuing correctly.
I could go on and on...0 -
Wow! You guys are a bunch of *kitten*; powerless, passive-aggressive ones. You're also a bunch of *kitten* because you wouldn't behave to someone that way face to face.0
-
All I hope is that all of you who like to play games with other drivers don't run into someone with road rage and a gun. It's just plain stupid to get into a car and play games, like braking hard for a tailgater or blocking people in. Just because you are in an automobile doesn't mean you are invincible.0
-
When you are in the drive straight or turn lane and the person next to you in the TURN ONLY cuts you off and goes straight anyway. . Then turns to look at you shaking their head like YOU are the idiot LOL. happened to me yesterday

Another one....
Having spent almost 20 years in Alaska.. when someone tailgates you when there is ice on the road, slowly decrease your speed until you know *they* can stop (and won't hit you) if you have to stop. First few snow storms of the year were like bumper cars on the roads. There are 2 military bases within 6 miles of Anchorage and it seems all the people stationed there were from the south and had never driven on ice and snow.0 -
I hate those people that dont see that you are stopping for a school crossing because they are texting, smoking and eating while driving and flippling gnawed chicken wings and cigarette butts out the window as they check out their makeup in the mirror, and they plow into the rear of your car or motorcycle during about 60 mph, driving you screeching through the cross walk sending kids scrambling for their very lives, thus careening your vehicle into the car that is coming toward you, causing your tire and wheel to come rocketing off your vehicle and thus kills the little cute chihuahua that has the little pink dress with ruffles along the hem that the old lady with the walker is walking just before she has a cardiac arrest, due to this catastrophe. Thats about what my worst pet peeve while driving is, I guess.0

You don't know that's true or not. Someone tailgated a friend during a snowstorm - 1 lane road. He stopped in the middle of the road got out and got in the guys face to confront him - the guy of course was like sorry and apologized profusely out of fear (friend is a bigger muscley guy). You just never know who it is you're pissing off for no good reason or what they will do. Driving isn't a game. Doing stupid things to prove a point only proves you're stupid.0 -

when someone tailgates me I step off the gas, slowly slowing my car down. and my second biggest pet peeve is when someone cuts you off with a bumper sticker/license plate frame or whatever saying "Jesus loves you" I had to cut you off just to let you know Jesus loves you and I'm an asshat.
Oh and to the person that says i wouldn't act like this to someone face to face, I almost had a truck come in my lane on top of me I honked, he flipped me off and called me a C*nt, and I followed him to his next stop, got out of the car and yelled at him.0 -
You know what I LOVE doing?
When people tailgate me I start to go JUST the speed limit (i usually always am over shush) and then when they go into the other lane to go past me i speed up so they can't :laugh: it is actually the funniest thing ever.
That sounds like a request for violence.
Other pet peeves include:
Hogging the left lane.
Speeding up and slowing down erratically.
What the poster described above, preventing someone from passing, is illegal and is an act of aggressive driving.
Another item that is aggressive driving is "brake checking" someone. If you're driving aggressively like that, you're asking to start trouble. It's too bad that traffic cops don't seem to care about the drivers that do things like those that are actually dangerous.0 -

Says the guy hiding behind a cartoon.0 -
I hate:
People who dont indicate, especially on roundabouts!
Tailgaters
People who blatantly park in 2 spaces just to keep their crappy Rover away from other cars!
Tractors who go on a busy single carriage road but dont pull over to let us through, its 60mph and you're doing 25 - at least have the decency to let me by after 20 miles!
Backseat drivers (aka my little brother) I passed my test and have been driving 5 years, you havent even got your licence yet so if you dont want to walk back home then dont criticize my driving!0 -
I've had people aggressively tailgate me before in a 50 zone with average speed cameras when I'm actually doing 50 - even though both outside lanes lanes were clear and they could easily overtake. How lazy is that?
People that don't acknowledge you letting them out
People that don't wear seatbelts
Cyclists that don't wear helmets and especially those who don't have lights in the dark - how am I supposed to see you???0 -
Morons who text while driving! What a great way to drive...looking down!!0

Yeah really? Well I can't see whats funny about tailgating someone so bad that if they had to break for not even half a second you would be rear ended?!
And you call that NOT dangerous driving?!0 -
People in other cars that think I can't see them picking their noses. I always honk to get their attention then the kids and I point and laugh. Good times.0
-
Tailgaters & men who pick their noses..., gross don't they know we can see them?0
-
People who completely drive through stop signs Ch89 Sec9 $100.00 ;-)0
