Morons who drive 60 in the fast lane. Move your piece of junk OVER!
Folks who think their CC LB will fit in the parking space right next to the store entrance.
Folks who let their dogs s**t in my yard.

1. When I go to a fast food place and, for example, say "I'd like a cheeseburger and a medium coke, and I need that to go." So they punch the stuff into the register and say "Is that for here or to go?" YARRGGHHH

2. People that (:P) talk on their cell phone AND smoke a cigarette at the same time WHILE DRIVING. I've seen TWO in the past week and one had a baby seat in the back. Sweet Jesus people!

3. Drivers who can't even do the speed limit

4. Traffic

When it's 95 degrees out and some idiot asks me if it's hot enough when I have 30 pounds of mail slung over my shoulder and I'm walking all day.

* TV shows that show people puking. That's all I've been seeing lately. Puke, puke, puke. Thank God it's not smell-a-vision.

* When I'm the only one on the road, (meaning there is no long line of cars behind me) and I'm traveling at the speed of light, and a person on one of the side streets waits until I'm just about to get to his corner and then pulls out in front of me ... goes 5 mph, then slows down and turns into a convenience store parking lot.

lotta those bug me too...i'll add a few of my own though.

loudass motorcycles.....not cool at a red light, not cool at THREE AM EITHER!!!! (had to mention that one again...) (oh and NO just because you have a motorcycle does NOT mean that you OWN the road!!!! drive in the CENTER OF THE EFFIN LANE like EVERYBODY ELSE!!! that one irritates me a lot especially when im goin the opposite way and their handle bars are in my lane if not more... i know non motorcycle riders need to pay attention (that goes back to being aware of whats around you whilst driving!!!) but if idiot motorcyclists would drive like morons that would help too!

bad hygene. not after a hard day, but its 7am, your breath smells like dogcrap run over twice in wet grass on a hot day. f'in toothbrush...they DO have a purpose! ALSO that tub looking thing with a faucet dealie on the wall ITS CALLED A F'in SHOWER USE IT!

complete disorginization ......im not a clean freak, or ocd, but at least not everything is everywhere, also keep your thoughts organized....i have a note pad at work for a reason, because I FORGET THINGS... it happens but write it down and theres your reminders!

People that don't respect motorcycles (BTW, I move from the center to the left to the right portions of the lane to make sure you see me in your review).

People that toss cigarettes out their window that hit me while I'm riding.

Boldface added above, for emphasis -

Please note, as a motorcycle rider/driver/operator. . . .
The proper location to be riding a motorcycle, is in the 'groove' of the left side (driver's side) of an automobile's track.
To ride in the center of the lane can (emphasis on 'can') cause the motorcycle to go out of control from the 'crown' in the lane, or the oil that can/does drip onto the roadway. (When you've had a motorcycle slip out from under you, at 60+ mph, you'll understand!!! Been there. Done that.)
Also, being in the left 'groove' makes the motorcycle and rider/driver/operator more visible to oncoming traffic and to the vehicle in front of the motorcycle, by keeping the motorcycle out of the blindspots.


I've ridden in the center of the lane, and also in the right-hand 'groove', and car/truck drivers have passed me IN MY LANE!!!!!
That isn't safe! (Not to mention that the 'pucker factor' went off the scale!!!!!)

So, just a thought. . . ride a couple of miles down a busy street, on a motorcycle, and you might see why the motorcycles are doing what they are.

Noise???????? That's another story.

please note that the 'groove' is NOT down the middle of BOTH lanes. when the lines are under the tires of the motorcycle you are not in any 'groove' gtfo of the opposite lane. i share the road and motorcycles are no different. share the road. just because some people like to ride 2 wheeled death machines doesnt mean they own the road. please note that im not talking about those that ride responsibly, and i do like bikes, just not the ones that i have to dodge while driving in a seperate lane.

O.K., before this gets out of hand. . . from what you originally wrote, it looked/read as if you were saying that a motorcyclist riding in the middle of the lane was what bugged you.

I see now that's not what you intended.

I'm out.

x 2.


I also dislike bicyclists riding in the wrong direction of the road, or weave across the lanes.

They want respect on sharing the road, but have no lights, do not obey traffic lights, and blow through stop signs.

Black flies and mosquito's! They have been so bad around here the past week that it's almost unbearable to go outside. Even with the "Deep woods" Off they are still really bad. Hurling their tiny little bodies into my face/eyes/ears. Ugh!

This will be fun.

-Jobless housewives ('homemakers' - to be politically correct) that drive hummers. THEY CANT EVEN SEE OVER THE STEERING WHEEL.

-Self proclaimed intellectuals

-Anyone who drives a prius.

-People who criticize me for driving my half ton f-150 and call it a gas guzzler.

-Young girls who smoke. This drives me absolutley up the wall. I see a pretty girl that Id like to get to know and she whips out a stick. Pretty girls dont smoke. Period. I never will.

-15 year olds who talk about how drunk and stoned they got last night

-The rust on my truck

-Giant rims or spinners, especially on trucks. Stop it.

-16 year olds with brand new cars. My first car was a pile and I drove it like a mercedes.

-Tuners. Kids suping up four cylinder crap wagons to desparately make them look cool. A 2 door hatchback honda with giant rims and a 'system' will never be cool. ever.

-Honda ridgelines. You dont have a honda TRUCK. You have a honda, get over it -- buy a ford.

-DODGE OWNERS. Arrogant ******. Get a real truck.

-Tramp stamps.

-Flat brimmed baseball caps.

-Disrespect.

People who refuse to say the pledge or sing the Nat'l Anthem and show no respect for those of us who do.

The people responsible for taking discipline out of public schools.

Parents who enable bad behavior either through ignorance or lack of concern.
