Things that bug me...

Ok, today I thought I'd do things a little differently. I've been thinking of what the next post should be about and I kept thinking of a few dozen items but none of which were topics that I could fill an entire blog with. And so I decided, why not just list them as the blog. I'm sure some are topics that bother you too. You'll recognize them as you come across them.

Here they are in no particular order:

- "Children on Board" signs in cars that have NO children aboard.
- Stop signs in parking lots. WHY??
- Speed limits in parking lots. Again, WHY??
- People who drive in the left lane at ten below the posted speed limit.
- Asian drivers who always look terrified behind the wheel.
- Stupid road signs: "Caution, falling rock", then why did you build the road so bloody close to the rock wall??
- Elderly drivers who can barely see UNDER the top-half of the steering wheel.
- People who use maps... while driving!
- People who drive Priuses... it's NOT a car!!
- City bus drivers.
- Billboards that say you should be watching the road!! WTF??!
- Drinking and driving.. d'uh.
- Police road blocks... "Have you been drinking, sir", "Why yes, why do you ask... is it the plastic horse from the mall sticking out of my hood that gave it away... *hic*?!"
- F*rds... do I have to say more?!!
- People who buy pickup trucks as a family vehicle... what ARE you thinking?!
- Those people who ruined Hummer's rep. It used to be a utilitarian vehicle.. I know, I know, too many syl-labels for them!
- Always moving into the faster moving lane of traffic only to have it come to a stop and then the lane you WERE in starts to move.
- Laws that say you can't use a cell phone in the car but you can apply makeup.
- These same laws are those that once said that if you put radios in cars, the drivers would be too distracted to drive and we'd all die in one horrific crash.
- Front-wheel drive cars with all-season tires.
- Cops who use their emergency lights for the heck of it.
- Green or brown cars... they're GREEN or BROWN!!!!
- First year drivers in Quebec, practically lying on their backs, driving their $500 car while listening to terribly-distorted dance music on their $5000 sound system.
- A fleet of Harley Davidsons driving by... five blocks away and you can still hear them!
- Fire trucks at the grocery store... do they really need to take a 50-ton truck to do the groceries??!
- Sex pill ads at the back of car magazines... what does one have to do with the other?!
- Parking spot hunters.
- People who pass you on the right, in a left-handed merging lane!
- The BMW 3-series.
- The Porsche Boxster.
- The tree-huggers driving Subaru Foresters.
- Diesels.
- Driving behind diesels.

That's all for now... if you can think anything more, let me know, I'll post it.
