    dude, that the typical MO of a Vette driver... dudes in their 50's with gray hair driving a new Vette with their last name on their plates doing 35 in a 50.
    Funny, I was literally stuck in this scenario last week and had no way to get around him. Hell it was so bad at one point another white hair dude in some Chevy pulled up next to him at a light and were talking through a green.

    90% of Vettes are waisted... take them to a track and let em run.

    The Corvette, a poor-mans rich car. I hate those things, a waste of metal. If your going to buy a sports car, buy a real one.

    Yes, because there's so many real sports cars available for 50k. And get it straight, they're made of plastic.

    Well, if you want to get technical, it's fiberglass reinforced plastic.

    When you try and be nice and let another driver in front of you when stopped in bumber to bumber traffic and then the a$$holes don't even acknowledge a thank-you. F-you to buddy. Oh yeah, the people that want to stand in the middle of the isles and BS, get your a$$ out of the way.

    HAHA, I haven't heard the "cranial-rectal inversion" thing in YEARS, nice.

    I had a new pet peeve this morning - there's a small gas station by my house, and this woman was sitting in front of one of the two pumps, seemingly doing paperwork. Requiring me to of course try and turn around in this tiny parking lot and back in to the other side of the pump. At first I thought she might be waiting for someone in the store, but nope, just as I'm finishing pumping, she packs up her stuff and drives off. Just sitting there making life inconvenient for others. ****.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    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?

    Bingo! we have a winner! Exactly.. i was doing my business the other day in a restroom.. and this dude in a stall was having a loud conversation with his mother in law about her daughter.. WTH?

    turn off the cell phone while you're in the can taking a dump. Some people just can't fathom missing a call for 5 minutes.

    I've got 99 pet peeves, but a **** ain't one.
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    To elaborate further on that. Walk into an empty bathroom with 10 urinals and some dude walks in and parks next to you... WTF!

    Another one: Back in my corporate days.. the A-holes that use a hand shake as a power trip tool... aka you shake their hand and at the normal time to let go, they don't as you do and they keep holding it with that lame arss power trip grin on their face as your hand and arm is limp. Just want to kick them in the sack.
