You know what really grinds my gears?!

[WRXtranceformed]

I could make a page long list. But for driving, people that drive slow in general, people who slow down to below 55 on the interstate to let someone merge into their lane (this happens a lot in the south, mostly South Carolinians), people on an onramp WHO DO NOT MERGE ONTO THE INTERSTATE AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS (this probably boils my blood the fastest out of anything), women drivers, old women drivers, people who take forever at a drive-in ATM, people who go exactly the speed limit in the passing lane, big rigs in general, dump trucks full of mud and rocks, landscaping trailers with mud and rocks and debris flying off, traffic in and around gas stations Walmarts and hardware stores. And those stickers on the back windows that show how many kids dogs and cats you have.

Poorly aligned headlights. Usually on cars HIDs. fix you're shit. VA inspection should include headlight alignment.

Every. Morning. On. My. Commute.

I go from Route 50 to Route 28. The on-ramp is this awesome S-curve with huge sweeping bends. Not challenging for drivers or the most top-heavy of vehicles.

And somehow, every morning, it turns into a 0-70 WOT run for me.

Your.

Lifted trucks are the worst.

Especially when you drive a lowered car without fancy dimming mirrors. Every night on my drive home an Excursion parks up my tailpipe and blinds me until the light turns green.

VA State Inspection does include headlight aiming. It's just that no one does them.

Grammar nazis who make exceptions to fit their own style.

Hmmm... I've looked at the list (it's been a while though) and don't remember seeing it. Yeah, they should do it.

Driving irritations:

-When someone is turning off to a side street and comes to damned near a complete stop to turn
-People who are distracted dicking around with their cell phone and miss the green light
-People who change lanes without looking
-When someone is in a situation where they're close to missing a turn or exit so they either slam on the brakes or cut across several lanes of traffic thereby creating the perfect conditions for an accident.

The nonsensical nature of ALL OF NOVA TRAFFIC.


Another pet peeve of mine.. People who say they are from "NOVA". And particularly people who say "NOVA" with that stupid smug look on their face. NOVA is a big god damn place. I make a point to say exactly where I'm from. Vienna.

eta: And I'm on my old grumpy alumni soap box here... Kids these days with their sense of entitlement. *Stepping off*

People who don't clean snow off of the top of their cars and it goes flying once they reach speed.

[WRXtranceformed]

People who can't drive in snow

People that don't wash their hands after using the bathroom. I observe between 10 and 25 drug screens a week and 95% of them are content to piss in the cup, put the lid on and walk right back out the door. Then they want to shake my hand before they leave my office. Sorry, I'm not interested in shaking your junk jiggler two minutes after you leave the bathroom.

pay out the ass for a laser alignment and they don't center the steering wheel

THIS!!
Seriously, why should everybody else pay because you weren't paying attention. Just drive by your turn and turn around at the next safe opportunity. Consider any delay as payment for your own error.

When it's friday and there's no new posts in the friday funnies thread!

[Sully]

Not using turning signals. I.e. nearly all people in Harrisonburg.

Ken- you probably will agree with me on this one........ people who stop at the line at an intersection to make left turn...blinker on.... I grew up taught to creep out into the intersection with blinker on and turn when you can. Sometimes I want to just push them out into the intersection.

As a bus driver, dbags who pull past that white line and then get in my way while I'm trying to make a turn :grin:

When people rebrand my Shit that Sucks thread 5 years after the great hate, and call it "Grinds my gears"
