Whats Your Pet Peeve?

[nubs]

People who drive in the left lane while not passing.

OK - as a bicyclist I'll counter with idiot drivers that

- make right turns without looking for bikes
- have to enter traffic from a side street and block the bike lane while they're waiting
- make left turns and only look for other cars coming against them
- on roads with no bike lanes drive around bikes with 3-5 inches of space

I ride about 16 miles each day and I'd guess that if I didn't keep an eye out for idiot drivers I'd get hit between 2-3 times each day. It gets a little frustrating...

I'm guessing that you're one of the bikers that actually hugs the fog line. I have no issues with you and will swerve into the oncoming lane (with traffic coming at me) in order to miss you by several feet. It's the [censored] bikers that take up a third of the lane that will hear the swoosh of my side-view mirror in their ear. If you make an effort to hug the shoulder, I'll return the courtesy and miss you by a comfortable margin. Move more than two feet off of the fog line and I will send you a message.

When you're pouring milk on cereal and the cereal redirects the milk out of the bowl...jesus f'in christ.

I'm a cyclist too, and lots of drivers piss you off when you're on a bike...

But, another thing I hate, even though I'm a cyclist, is cyclists who don't obey traffic laws. The worst move IMHO is the one where they come to a stoplight/intersection while riding on the street, but then when they reach the intersection they are now magically a pedestrian, and cross the street in the crosswalk with the "walk" signal. It makes it really hard for a driver (even one who is paying attention) making a turn to not hit the cyclist.

Spelling errors...dating an engineer who doesn't care about spelling at all...it's like a ship's wheel in my pants...it drives me nuts [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Oh, and those who barely go over the speed limit in the left lane and make all the speedsters pass on their right.

When I ask people who call me if I can call them back shortly because I'm on the phone, or eating, and they still try to start a non-urgent conversation.

A car behind me flashing for me to move out of the left lane when I'm already doing 70-75.

I hate a-holes like you that think YOU can dictate the speed limit on the highway.

I really, really hate you.

Edit: I throw whatever I can get my hands on at you as I pass you in the middle lane.

I'm partial to half-full coffee cups with the lid on.

They can pass through the 75 m.p.h. wind before exploding on their windshield.

The best part is, they usually speed up after this...

It would seem OOT has a road rage problem.
