RE: Pet Peeves
door dings are the worst.. and Cheng you should have kicked that little kids ***.. i mean crap i would have told the parents... because once they left the money on the table it was yours.. that little kid stole from you..

RE: Pet Peeves
Road Rage and Cup Holders together foil my morning drive....
Highway on-ramp, two lanes merge into one before merging with the highway. Everyone is being cool and alternating as the two lanes merge down into 1. Then an idiot comes up on my right and is glued to the bumper of the guy in front of him which puts him to my right and slightly behind. I'm making room for the guy in front of him so we can do the nice merge things...but the idiot continues to stay glued to the guys bumper and starts squeezing me as the lane narrows down....I am holding a cup of coffee in one hand because the roads are not smooth here in the big apple...I go to tap the horn to let this guy know that I am there (he is staring straight ahead)...but of course he ignores me, so I have to brake...and of course I hit a bump...and of course coffee comes flying out and on to my shirt. This is a brilliant start to the day.
I want to go after the guy and tell him what a complete ahole he is, but I decide it is not really worth it. To add insult to injury, my coffee spills all over the radio as I put the cup into the dash cup holder. I should have let the guy go when I saw him riding the other guys bumper...a clear sign that he was an ahole.

RE: Pet Peeves
In my suburban, I was on the freeway doing about 70 when I see this p.o.s. toyota pickup in front me, with a bunch of trash in the bed, and the tailgate down. I watch this golf ball sized rock roll out of his bed, take a nasty kick off the cement, and head right into my windshield. Now there is the worst smashed spot in my windshield about the size of a baseball. I hit the gas to catch the guy and see if I can make him pull over when I hear a crazy loud smack front underneath, and the truck starts shaking. I pull over on the freeway and see about 50% of my tread missing from the left rear tire. Guess ill head to compusa another day.

RE: Pet Peeves
A few more things for me to add:
I hate...
...people who park in handicapped spots who aren't handicapped.
...crumbs in my shift boot (or even large pieces of dust)
...when people pick thier kids up at school and park and wait for 10 minutes in thier cars right in front of mine so that I can't back out while thier snotnosed kids walk really slow like they think walking slow is cool and then when they finally get in the car, thier parents yell at them and sit there for another 10 minutes while I'm waiting around giving them dirty looks. And if, heaven forbid, I honk my horn, I've got a major problem and what business do I have honking at them!
And finally, people who cut you off in the bike lane when you are waiting for someone ahead of you make an unprotected left on a two lane road. Some idiot did that in his little corrolla and got next to me right when it cleared up and I wanted nothing else but to kick the crap out of him right there for being such an idiot. I got a little heated and boxed him into the bike lane by staying next to him. He had to stop for a parked car. In hindsight it was probably a pretty unwise choice, but it really pissed me off!

RE: Pet Peeves
- People who don't signal, and make last minute lane changes.
[:@] People who don't accelerate on the on-ramp, and have to stop because they drive too slow to merge into the traffic.
[:@] People who brake BEFORE the off-ramp
[:@] Cars passing you, changing into your lane and slowing down.... That one gets me every time.
[:@] People who call the leftmost lane "the fast lane"... it's the OVERTAKING LANE, and not meant for you to dawdle along in just because you can see a truck on the horizont.
