People who fail to understand the concept of right-of-way. If you got the intersection first, you get to go first. Do not 'wave' me forward, it really won't help.

In Minnesota, that happens often. We sometimes wait up to 30 seconds before anyone does anything. Ah, politeness.

That really doesn't bother me as much as when people ask me and my twin on our birthday if we shared the same birthday. Yes, a*****e, yes. For the 20th time, yes.

This isn't a pet peeve, just my brother being a lazy slob

He refuses, point blank, to ever do house work, his bedroom is an absolute tip, he lies around the house in his underwear, smelling.

And today he came up with his most useless and annoying excuse for refusing to clean today

to qoute him 'I'm a graduate, I dont have to do this type of crap'

To which I replied 'Mum's a graduate, Ria (my sister) is a graduate, that excuse is bulls**t!'

he thinks he can get away with it as he's the only one who can drive, but we only live a mile out of town, so its only a short walk, and now, me, mum and sis just generally walk, so he has no excuse...

/rant (maybe)

(p.s. he's 27, lives at home rent and food bill free, all housework and washing done care of my mum, who works a lot...)

In my first post I said I worked at the YMCA. Now I work at a grocery store because I wanted a year round job, sometimes its my job to collect carts and so I have like a whole ton of carts and I get to the crosswalk and theres a stop sign that NOBODY follows (which probably annoys me more than it should) and then some one will stop at the stop sign and wave me on like its a gift that they are letting me cross.

You have a stop sign I have a crosswalk I should have been across the street five minutes ago and now I'm behind on the carts

Thank you! I was 'waved' across by someone standing at a flipping crosswalk!!! He glowered at me when I refused to move!

Only sometimes. If it's a 4-way or all-way stop intersection, then it's first come, first served. Where I have a similar pet peeve is when I'm on a cross street where the other street has right of way (no stop signs) and my street has stop signs and I want to turn left. I pull up and stop and wait with my turn signal blinking because the other street has traffic, so I wait as I should. While waiting for the traffic on the other street to clear so I can turn, another car comes from the opposite direction as me on my street and stops, as they should. They want to turn right, same direction as me. When the traffic clears, they stare at me and wave me on. WTF?! It's not a 4-way stop, so they now have right of way as I'm turning left in front of them. It doesn't matter that I got there first, they still have the right of way. They get mad because I won't go. Politeness is OK to a point, but if they had just gone ahead and turned right away, they would have been out of the way when I made my turn, as their distance to travel is much shorter than mine. Their politeness just delayed us both for no reason.

Some of you people need to go back to driver's ed. Yeah, you know who you are.

My brother wiahes me Happy Mother's Day every year. He says I'm the biggest mutha he's ever known.

People who cut me off and THEN signal. If they just cut me off I'd be like, whatever. But then they have the nerve to turn their turn-signal on after the fact, as if to taunt me, and I just lose it.

Burglars. Go steal from someone who can afford the time/cost of collecting on their insurance. Like a company. Don't put me through the anguish of replacing my own stuff on my own free time and taking time off of work to deal with the insurance company. Because honestly, just thinking about it makes me want to buy a gun and shoot your ass instead.

People who correct you when you slightly misquote/misspeak. Ok, yeah, I pointed at the Computer Monitor and accidentally called it a TV. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEANT. Whatever, I said "Infinity and Beyond" instead of "To Infinity and Beyond". JUST GO WITH IT.

Yeah, that annoys me as well. I encounter 4-way stop situations more often though, so just ranted on them. :)

A few pet peeves:

People who do not know how to merge onto the highway. There aren't too many that do. It doesn't mean slam on the brakes at the end of the ramp, or to drive 20 mph and try to eek your way out into traffic. Drive! moron Drive!!!

People who do not know what the "yield" sign means.

People who drive slow in the passing lane.

When I was towing a horse trailer, people who thought, ooh a trailer, I have to beat it and pull out in front of it. Sorry, I will not throw my horses into the back seat of my vehicle. I'd rather run over your ass, than to slam on the brakes towing precious cargo. My dually would flatten their Saturn anyday, and be unscathed.

18 wheelers on the highway. They are every where and completely back up traffic in the passing lane because they can't get out of their own way. They get in the passing lane going down hill right before the highway grade starts up hill.

This just happened to me a week ago at Lowe's. I have a cart full of crap, the counter is not big enough for everything so the cashier is ringing stuff up in the cart, the jackass behind me, places all his stuff on the counter. I haven't paid yet, he is standing there at the register like he's going to pay for his stuff before me and he's breathing down my neck. Back Off Jack! Can't people just wait their fricking turn.

I work at a military installation. It's the only place I have ever been in my life that I have opened more doors for men.....and then they walk through and don't even say thank you! Yes, I'm a low life civilian in their eyes, but I'm also a woman!

You are out somewhere, go to the ladies room. Assume there is toilet paper in your stall. Finish up, alas, no TP. :(

This always bugs me too. Why, if you are going the same speed as everyone else, do you feel the need to be in the far left lane where everyone else is trying to go fast?!

I once opened a door for a woman and she said to me "Do I look like my arms are broken?!"

It has haunted me ever since...

People who do not understand the difference between a merge sign and a yield sign.

The majority of trucking companies govern their trucks to save on fuel. Seriously. Back in the early 90's, the first trucking company I worked for actually set their trucks to go no faster than 62 miles an hour. The last company I worked for set theirs at 72 mph. Top speed. It sucked. It sucked worse when you had 550 miles to go before you could call it a day, and some 4 wheeler in front of you can't keep a constant speed. Do you know how long it takes to pass someone doing 60mph, when you can't go faster than 62 mph??? Sure, I could hang behind him and do 58 for 5 hours, praying that he would have to pee eventually, but finally you say screw it and pass him, even though it's going to take 5 minutes.

Then the b*****d gets irritated cause you are right in front of him, so he passes you, than eventually slows back down to 60 mph. Rinse/repeat. It happened more than you think.

Oh, and I always knew when someone getting on the interstate was going to exit within the next few exits cause they would dawdle below the speed limit in the right lane, till they exited. The shorter the distance, the slower the speed. :)

Poison Ivy pisses me off pretty bad.

I thought this was a coincidence, but it happens to me all the f**king time now, so I guess maybe it's some kind of trend.

I'm driving on the on-ramp of the highway. There will be another car driving slowly in front of me on the ramp, and nobody else in sight.

We both merge from the ramp into the right lane - them still in front of me. I move into the left lane and pass them.

AFTER I PASS THEM THEY MOVE INTO THE LEFT LANE!

WHAT THE HELL?! Why? I mean, it really doesn't affect my life at all, being as how I've already passed them, but why are they moving into the left lane? They aren't passing anybody - in fact they were just passed. And it isn't like they stay behind me to keep pace. They continue at their original slow speed. Why?

My dad says people tend to drive over there because the pavement is smoother because the passing lane isnt used as much as the not passing lane.

I cant tell the difference

The presumption that tall = basketball player.

I don't play. I've never played. I've never WANTED to play. I don't care that basketball players are tall. You're short, ever thought about being a jockey?!?

- People in the passing lane who are driving abreast of the traffic in the right lane so that no one can get past them.

- People who switch on their turn signals to indicate that the person in front of them is about to turn. If you're not turning, don't put on your signal.

- People who pull out in front of me and then drive really slow. I personally think this is a national conspiracy against me. Everyone knows me and my car and purposefully pulls out in front of me and drives really slow.

- Tottery old women who can't walk let alone drive who get in the way and stop because (as my father puts it) they don't know whether to pee or beller.

- My wife's driving.

Did you just go through bad traffic this morning, Boot?

Gah.
