Pet Peeves

Well I discovered a new one today...People who use their cell phone in the restroom. Rest rooms are like libraries...they should be quiet places for reading, and going about your business. I found it disconcerting hearing my "neighbor" say: "Okay baby that's okay...blah, blah, blah"

What are yours?

    Yeah, but there's an upside; If you like talking to yourself that earpeice is a good cover.

    I love making a lot of noise when the person in the stall beside me is on the phone.

    As for pet peeves, not knowing when it's your turn to go at a 4 way intersection. Some jerk almost crashed into me about 5 minutes ago. I would have loved to drag him out of his car and smash his geeky face into the asphalt.

    4 way stops can be a nightmare...indecision kills me at those intersections.

    Driving with no regard for the speed limit. This usually means varying from 5 to 15 MPH under the limit. Drives me bat isht crazy. What kind of person drives down a highway with no idea of the speed limit?

    1.) People who don't know how to use the turning lane, and then jam up traffic. Really pisses me off.

    2.) People who use the bathroom at the gym, and don't wash their damn dickbeaters afterwards! Really pisses me off.

    Slow **** drivers in the left lane. Truckers who pull out in front of you when you're about to pass them. People who go 80,then 70,80 then 70. You can't tell I just got back from a road trip.
