I'm sure these have all been covered, but its a long thread so:

1. Idiots who drive slowly in the left lane (It's even worse in CO than in OH IMO).

2. Idiots who don't react when a light turns green (although "don't react" means 2-3 seconds followed by a quick tap of the horn from me, not an immediate blaring of the horn 1/4 of a second after the light turns green).

3. Idiots who use their horns a lot. I hate the sound of a car horn. To the thread starting post, if I lost focus and didn't react to a light turning green within a scond or two, I'd be cool with a quick tap of the horn. If a dude lays on it, I might flick him off even though I'm in the wrong initially.

4. Idiots who don't know to pull half way iinto an intersection during a green light so they can turn left when the light turns red.

Add people who drive under the speed limit and your list is perfect.

You mean to say that you haven't almost been run over by a Suburban driving soccer mom? Or even a guy in an F6032 super duper turbo diesel with a gun rack in the back? Lucky man. That's not to say that getting run over by a shit bucket is any better. Atleast those usually cost less though.

Another pet peeve: People making a left hand turn onto another road and somehow miss the fact that they're supposed to be to the right of median. Instead they end up careening head on into oncoming traffic.
Oh and one more. People who don't know how to park their damn car within the lines. I carry around stickynotes in my car just so I can leave people like that a pleasant little message.

Not that I can remember. Personally I think that a lot of the Kerry voters are pissed off and like to punish the rest of us for driving 5 mph under the speed limit. There are many rich liberals up in this area so you can't judge the person by the car. Kind of like an animal loving vegan that wears leather shoes. I love to throw that one in their face.

Haha, nice. I'd love to see the look on their face when they get nailed with that one. :lol:

Another pet peeve, folks who leave their trailer hitches on while driving. I realize it makes a great second bumper, but what annoys me is when I'm walking through a parking lot and get a banged up shin from one.

People, it's the motherfucking passing lane, not the fast lane. Speed has nothing to do with it. If you are not passing, move the fuck over.

If you are going 120, and I am going 130, I am going to ride your bumper till you move out of the passing lane.

The cops should ticket people for not moving out of the passing lane when not overtaking another vehicle. Or we should be able to...

If you are going 130 (or even 85), you are well above the speed limit and are being just as inconsiderate as (and more illegal than) the person whose bumper you are riding. Maybe you should leave a little earlier to get wherever you're going...

So I'm coming home from West By God on Sunday and as you can imagine traffic around C-Bus, Zanesville and Marietta was heavier than a normal Sunday.

I'm doing 75 in a 65, passing a long line of trucks that had been holding me up for miles. This little Scion thingy fltying up on my ass and sets his tractor beam to 6 inches from my bumper. I'm not going to go faster for this guy. I'm already ten over on a holiday weekend with the cops out in full force.

So this goes on for about 4 minutes or so. I get past the trucks and shift to the right lane The Scion comes flying up beside me, passes me and then dives in front of me and slows down to 65. I wanted to kill him.

People don't know how to merge....it took me 3 and a half hours when it normally takes 2 at most to get from the Canton/Massillon area to Columbus on Sunday. Yeah yeah yeah, I know it was the holiday weekend but still. Traffic was fine until 71 goes from 3 lanes to 2. I went 15 miles in an hour and 1 mile past that merge area I was doing 70-75 again. People are idiots. Good thing I had a bunch of The Office on my phone, I propped it up in a cubby thing above my radio and watched some episodes while it was stop and go at 3 miles per hour.

Nope, wrongo. If you are in the PASSING lane, and you are not PASSING another vehicle. You should be killed.
