My pet peeves about cars and life in general

Pet peeves:
1. Windshield wipers that do not make a perfectly clean wipe.
2. People that write on my car’s windows/paint when it is dirty (basically all my friends did this but I went ballistic on them and they stopped).
3. When someone takes forever to leave a parking space when someone is waiting for it.
4. People who unnecessarily swing out to the left before they make a right hand turn
5. When a plastic bag, newspaper page, or any other piece of trash flies on the front of my car when driving on the freeway (I will literally pull off the freeway to get it off).
6. People who forget to turn their turn signals off after completing the lane change.
7. Rattling noises in cars
9. Drinking out of cups that are actually supposed to be jars.
10. People who wear sunglasses indoors or when it isn’t bright at all outside
11. Really dirty cars (on the inside)
12. The Skin clothing line
13. Bra's on cars
14. Raider fans
15. Long weddings ceremonies or weddings without alcohol


anyone have anything else to add?

That is a pretty good list...I really hate stickers too, dust on displays (tv's/computers) loud talkers (like way too loud for the distance you are away from them), bad laughs, dreadlocks...I am sure there is more but those are some of mine...nothing I would fight anyone over, but just a few little things that make me uncomfortable!


EDIT: food on peoples faces...

yeah, I wouldn't fight someone over it either. When you say stickers, do you mean on cars, or just in general?

Have what now? I got those little lever kind of deals with red on one side. If you can see the red side it's locked. If you can't then it isn't. How hard is that!? Not hard at all! And yet people just get out of the car and walk on their merry way without thinking twice, just asking for my shit to get stolen.

if I may add: people that never pick up their cell phones or dont carry it with them. What's the point of having a MOBILE phone if you're just gonna use it?

ok...I am talking about passengers in your car right...you arrive at your destination, your passanger gets out and closes the door, you start to get out of the car, and on your way out you hit the door lock button on your arm rest? You don't have a door lock button on your arm rest? Or a remote on your keys that locks the door remotely??

I hate it when you ask somebody a yes/no question and they think they have to tell you a long story to setup their answer. Half the time they finish the story and you still don't know whether their answer is yes or no.

If the story was worth hearing, they could answer "yes" or "no" at the very beginning, then tell their tale.

JUST GIVE ME THE ANSWER!!!

Nope, no power locks. I have to reach across the car and lock their door if they don't.

that hard plastic packaging that you need garden shears to get into and then you almost break whatever comes in it AND you get cut on the edges.

stickers of fruit that youve gotta bruise the fruit to get off.

people who dont signal so youre waiting there like and idiot to pull out when they wont even go by

people who go to the end of an ending lane before merging while there is a long line of slow-moving traffic--youre no better than the rest of us so you can wait like us

double parkers and bad parkers

hippies with 200 bumper stickers

ladders/chairs/2x4s/etc. on the highway

people who ride your ass when you slow down (to the speed limit) for a school zone--sorry for not wanting to run over a kid!

hmm. ive got more but im tired of thinking

I think i'm going to get at least one enemy by saying this, but i do this all the time. I feel that everyone should use both lanes all the way until it is time to merge. If people are dumb enough to merge early and go really slow, that is fine, but i wait until the lane actually ends before merging.
