The Light's Green! Whataya Waitin' For?

[Jzero]

Jzero's pet peeves:

1. People who slow down waaaaay too much when making a turn
2. People who don't signal
3. People who think that "No Turn On Red" is optional when printed in black on a white field.
4. That clown who is 15 cars back and lays on his horn as soon as the light turns green.
5. People who go straight in the left-turn lane.
6. People who cause gridlock.
7. People who stop when merging when they don't have to.
8. The person BEHIND the person who was forced to stop who decides HE can merge first, without looking back to see if he is merging into anyone's passenger seat...

But my biggest pet peeve is the one that totalled my last car:
People who turn onto multilane highways thinking they can cut across all lanes. You get your a55 into the NEAREST lane and then move further when you know you're not running a college student into a telephone pole because A) you ran a stop sign and B) you crossed 4 lanes into the farthest lane.

Grrr.
And just about everyone in PA does EVERY ONE of these things constantly. I swear that kids taking drivers' ed in PA must be given a NJ drivers' ed manual and be told "Do the opposite of what this says."

<< I hate when I'm at a McDonalds drive-thru and the person at the window gets their change and food/drink and doesn't pull away right away. This stupid bitch in front of me yesterday spent about 30 seconds screwing around, putting cups in drink holder, making sure they got the correct stuff etc, fvck you slut, drive into a spot to take care of that, some of us have to get back to work and don't feel like waiting around because of you. >>



You don't check your stuff before leaving the window? Don't you know? "They frak you in the drive-through!" >>



I check my stuff, but I have the decency to pull into a parking spot first and clear the window for the next car.

Anyone know the feasibility of installing missile launchers under your car's front bumper? I've been in plenty of situations where launching a missle and fragging the car ahead of you would be most beneficial to the interests of smooth traffic flow. Of course, debris would cover the road and might be hard to navigate through...


In college (just past the horse and buggy years) we rigged up a couple of pneumatic tubes in the front of a corvair and fed cheap perfume plastic pellets to it. Tubes were aligned with the headlights and firing controlled by a simple double push button on the dash.

First push turned on headlights. When headlight was on target (like a laser sight), the second push fired both barrells. The pellets hit the target, broke on impact and the drivers never knew what hit them. How would a male driver explain that their car smelled like cheap perfume. But you knew. Phase 2 replaced the perfume with essense-der-skunk.

I also hate the people who feel the need to cross multiple lanes of traffic in one fell swoop. On my way home from work is an intersection of two of the busiest roads on my end of town, I am getting into the left turn lane, and some woman in her beat up Ford AEROSTAR tries to go across two lanes of traffic and into the turn lane in front of me. Needless to say I honked for about three seconds and flipped her of.

The other thing that bothers me is people that sit for five minutes before ordering their fast food. I was at Fazoli's not long ago and this 20something woman was yelling at her kids while I heard "May I take your order" at least twice. I had my windows down since it was a nice night and I said "Quit yelling at your kids and order your food b!tch!" rather loudly, and she heard me and gave me a dirty look, then ordered.

Hey, hey, hey. A NJ driver picking fun of PA drivers? ROTFL! Anytime I'm up in North Jersey, I notice that the roads are a frickin' circus. My favorite is the common cut-across-3-lanes-of-traffic-because-my-exit-is-only-300-feet-ahead. And without turn signals, of course.
