People that pull out on you so you have to jump on the brakes and there is no one behind you and then they go a hundred yards and try to make a left turn with a seemingly endless line of traffic coming. Best, CB

I hate all the stupid people that are out driving around at 10 under the speed limit in the morning when everyone else is trying to get to work!

I also hate people that NEVER LEARN HOW TO DRIVE IN THE SNOW.

Hey newsflash, if you feel like you have to go 15 mph because there's some snow on the road, you should have stayed home. There's never a reason to go THAT GD SLOW. Some mornings I wish I could just push these people off the road and continue on my merry way at 35-40 mph like I should be going.

Too many to list...here are a few.

1) People who walk diagonally across a street...instead of directly across.
2) When you let folks back out of a parking space...and...they don't acknoweldge your act of kindness with a wave.
3) People who pass you on a highway...then slow down after they pull back into the lane.
4) People who make an appointment with you...and...don't show...no calls...no emails. I work on commission...my time is valuable.

One of my biggest pet peeve's is the misuse of apostrophe's. Seriously, folks, its the year 11' already, you should be able to look up they're proper use on the interwebs.

I am currently involved in a project to build a 1975 HD Ironhead Sportster...it was a basketcase (meaning a bunch of parts in a box...go figure) and I am building it because I always said my next bike would be one I built.

So, my biggest peeve is guys who show off their stock bike with a couple of chrome add-ons and proudly proclaim they "built it".

I don't know how many of you guys ride but a lot of you do wrench your own trucks and have your own build projects, so I ask ya, if somebody showed up in a brand new stock F-150 with a few bolt-ons (chrome exhaust pipe caps, etc.) proclaiming they built it, would that aggravate you?

On the road...just a few...

People who are too stupid to turn their brights off before they crest the hill. You can see me coming douchebag, dim the damn lights.

People who are in such a hurry to pull out in front of you, then go slower than the posted speed limit.

Morons who forget how to drive in the slightest snowfall. I agree with ghunt... stay the F home.

People who can't park between the lines. Buy a smaller freaking car.

People who stick the nose of their car 3 feet into your lane while waiting to pull out.

People who couldn't negotiate a left on yellow to save their lives. Either go or don't, but make a damn decision.

At home... a few examples...

My wife not being able to open anything in the kitchen without spilling or dropping it on the counter and/or floor.

We have a toilet seat with a built-in potty seat that comes down from inside the lid. I hate it when my 2 y/o puts it down and then I sit on it in the dark and smash my *****. 3 times and counting...

How said 2 y/o can stand in front of the toilet for 10 minutes without a drop, then turn to one side and let loose Ole Faithful.

The fact that our dogs seem permanently affixed to the one square foot of space in front of my feet, whether I'm walking or not. I swear when they die I'm gonna make them into slippers. No one would know the difference.

I could probably go on for awhile. The older I get, as was mentioned by ford2go, the more there seem to be.

Oh yah... one last one... punks who don't know how to wear a pair of pants. They're called underpants for a reason... we're not supposed to see them. And why bother with the belt if you're not gonna use it? Idiots.

I hope that wasn't the only "error" you found with that [tongue-in-cheek] post!

No, but I tend to use many commas because that's how I speak.

People who can operate a car with so much techno-trash built into the dash, it resembles the bridge of the starship Enterprise........Synch/On Star, nav units, cellphones, lap-tops, high end audio stuff, TV for chrissake!...........But the concept of what the turn signal stalk is for is a COMPLETE mystery to them!

Just read the whole thread. I have to agree with most of these. In particular, those who fail to clean up after their dogs in a residential area. Littering, in general. The moron who drives fifty mph on a highway posted at sixty-five, then keeps on driving fifty through a small town marked twenty-five. You take a risk to finally pass them then they blow by you in the little town!!!

But my biggest pet peeve? People driving impaired by drugs and/or booze.

People who plow snow into or across the road. If you can't plow a driveway without going across the street you either shouldn't be plowing or the driveway should be done with a asb snowblower.
