Thirteen Things other drivers do to ANNOY ME!


Thirteen Things other drivers do to ANNOY ME!


SPECIAL SHOUT OF TO MY FRIEND KELLY. MUST READ HER TT AND COMMENT.


Now as someone that has totalled a wopping three cars without a single accident being his fault I thought it would appropriate to list thirteenthings that annoy me about other drivers. I'm sure I can list more than 300 but I'll limit it some. If anyone wants to know about my previous accidents I will more than happy to make it a nice blog post. Sorry for the long introduction. Here we go! Buckle up **wink**

1.) Turning signal. Those orange blinking lights that some people dont realize they have. They are not just there for the heck of it. They actually have a purpose! A good one is warning other drivers your going to drive your oversized SUV into their lane! I'll admit its not just SUV but they are the most annoying. As a Honda Civic driver I get scared when a Tahoe comes right towards me!

2.) Talking about turning signal. Some people OVER use them. Some people aren't even making a turn and drive with them on. I know we are busy but I hope you aren't that busy inside your car to forget that your turning signal is on. BTW If you see a Blue Honda Civic next to you waving madly making weird hand signals dont get scared. I'm not a gaster warning you that I'm gona bust a cap in your ass. I'm just trying to help you and everyone else on the road by signaling (HAHA!) you that your blinker(Oober british) is on.

3.) There is something that I cant get over and will never forgive someone for. My mother is quilty of this one seriously. We had a HUGE fight over this last weekend when we were driving home from our local Walmart. (Has anyone noticed that Walmart is taking over the world? More on this later) . People that ride their brakes are the most annoying mother f.... on the planet. There isn't anything more annoying then driving behind someone singing your favorite song loudly hoping no one hears or see you making a fool of yourself when the idiot infront of you taps their brake for no apparant reason. I almost shard my pants everytime someone does that. Then latter on you dont take them seriously and you almost rearend them. Seriously throttle control isn't that hard. I've driven both Automatic and manual and just laying of the gas some slows you down enough without you needing to tap the brake every few seconds.

Wow my list keep getting longer and longer. I need to cut back some... NAH!

4.) Something that scares me almost everyday is when your driving along the interstate and you just happen to look over at the person in the car next to you(I do this a lot) and you see they are doing their make-up,smoking,dressing themself, brushing their hair...teeth(seriously seen this before) and talking on their lovely little cellphone all at SAME! time. Scary... Wonder where their attention is. One guess...

This reminds me of something. Has anyone ever gone on a long road trip and you travel with a car. Somewhere along the way we get so bored we start a small little competition with this one car. Both start doing this and we both know. We race that car to our destination and we consider it a personal victory if you pass them. When you eventually loose them they pass you an you think "WTF?! Oh No Bitch not today!" and we speed up. Then when we finally take out Pitstop to stock up on Soda,Chips,and general shit we can eat on our million mile trip that car gets way ahead of you again. We race to find them and finally catch up on them. Then when you pass them. You KNOW they notice but the rule of the game is your not allowed to look at each other and then you start doing things like playing with your hair or acting like this is the BEST song ever! Maybe its just me but I get caught up in this on every road trip.My last one I was stalked by a car carrier carrying a bunch of Hondas! Maybe I'm just weird but its fun

5.) People that cut you off. If you merge infront of me or pull out infront of me and I have to hit my brakes to avoid hitting you your considered an asshole automatically. This is unaccetable. This happens to be all the time. There is no one behind me and I'm going at a nice cruising speed enjoying myself then some idiot pulls out infront of me and decides not to speed up! If your going to do that atleast go faster or wait till I pass.

6.) Yield! Ever heard of right of way! People need to be considerate and yield the right of way to people. I can udnerstand we are in a hurry but follow the rules. Its not that hard. The road would be a lot safer and less confusing.

7.) Orange light. That light means slow down, I'm gona go red soon bitch. Not HIT THE GAS!!!!!! GO GO GO GO GO GO COME ON! This is how one of my accident was caused that landed me in the hospital and I still have back problems from this from time to time! Some as tard rearended me at a red light and pushed my car into a busy intersection. I got T-Boned on the passanger side and hit head on. Not a pleasant experience to say the least and the idiot still had the nerve to ask me "Why'd you stop?" My dad sued his ass good **smirk**

8.) The Left lane. I'll admit I'm a left lane driver eventhough I shouldn't because one of my accident was caused by a drunken driver crossing the median. The left lane is for car trying to go faster than the speed limit. I know legally they are correct in driving the speed limit in this lane but come on! Your being a complete asshole. I move over for those that are going faster than I. Be considerate.

9.) Drinkign and Driving. There is nothing more dumb than drinking and driving. You not just putting yourself risk but you putting ME at risk. I see some of my friends do it all the time. Needless to say I'm not friends with them anymore. After being hit by one of these idiots I cant be friends with someone that is that iresponsible.

10.) Back roads. If your going to drive below the speed limit and slow down to 10mph around every turn dont take the whindy backroad. Some people drive these roads to get a thrill. Not the safest things but it should be fine if idiots like this stay of these roads.

11.) HID! I know its the hip thing and you think it looks cool when you drive around with your illegal blue or purple lights. Its really annoying for the other drivers. Even through my tints these lights bother me. I have to rub my eyes if one of those pass me on the highway. There is a reason to have blue or purple lights.

12.) Brights. Dont drive with your brights on. Simple yes? Its ok to use this on back roads at night(when no one is around BTW) but there is no reason to use this on the I-95!

13.) Music. I like to blast my music but to a respectable level where everyone else doesn't have to listen to my excellent choice of music. Not everyone likes the same music. When I'm at the light I dont want to hear "Hey Shorty its ur birthday..." I dont like 50cent (I could make SO many jokes) so I dont want to hear it.

heheheheh

 
At 9:51 PM, Blogger PatentPrincess said...

Haha, I could probably think of 300+ things to put on such a list. Most of my pet peeves are related to how people drive. #8 makes me CRAZY!!!

Thanks for the visit :)

 
At 9:57 PM, Blogger YellowRose said...

I agree with you on all those! The one that gets me is no turn signal...makes me so mad! Where I live, Atlanta, I have to say has the rudest drivers...I hate it.

Good TT!

 
At 11:42 PM, Blogger Happy0303 said...

Too funny! Just today I had someone in front of me put on their turn signal while driving on a curving street!

 
At 12:22 AM, Blogger Jen said...

My T13 is up!

 
At 1:23 AM, Blogger mar said...

Your nr. 1 is also MINE!! and Walmart isn't present in Spain...happy TT, mine is up :)

 
At 3:08 AM, Blogger Norma said...

It's a good list--but 3 accidents and you're only 20? Part of driving is defensive. I've been driving 50 and haven't had an accident.

Thanks, Chris, for visiting my TT.

 
At 3:14 AM, Blogger Red said...

Just reading a couple of these gave me road rage! Totally agree with you on virtually any of them...

I have a special beef with people driving while on the phone. One such idiot slammed into my Mum’s car only a few months ago, and just the thought of what could have happened makes my blood boil!

Grrrrrrrr! And… relax.

 
At 4:31 AM, Blogger Carmen said...

Yep, you live in the same area as me. Drivers here are on crack. I can totally understand road rage. ;)

 
At 4:45 AM, Blogger Louise said...

Ooh, that could be me.

Why, why don't people indicate on roundabouts?

I'm generally such a nice person unless I'm driving then everyone upsets me so much I get really mad.

My TT is up.

Good TT Chris.. I love the one about the loud radios. I always get to hear the extremelt loud/obnoxious music comeing from the car next to me, and sometimes from the car behind me.It is insane!

 
At 5:18 AM, Blogger Stephanie said...

I hate stupid people and that includes most drivers. I admit sometimes I do something that I was I would have done differently but, come on people!! Use some common sense.

My pet peeve is when you are in a traffic jam because a whole lane had to merge, and some jerk 3 cars behind me pulls outinto the empty merge lane and drives up to the front expecting to be allowed back in at the top of the pack.

Thanks for visiting my TT.

So true, so true! How about the cars that weave from one lane to another on a 4 lane highway passing one car, switching lanes, zooming ahead to pass a car on their right then cutting in front of it to zoom ahead and pass a car on their left. They never make much progress cause you end up catching up to them anyway when they get stuck behind a truck and a slow car beside them but they are dangerous! I hate that.

 
At 5:59 AM, Blogger Andrew said...

OK, I'm gonna stay out of your way on the road, Mr. Road Rage Waiting to Happen. :)

I LOVE this list. You left out tailgating. (not the fun, football picnic kind, either)

My TT has a couple of totaled cars in it, too, also not my fault.

 
At 7:05 AM, Blogger Amie said...

HAHA great 13! i never read a 13 that had me nodding my head in agreement so many times...

thanks for stopping by my blog!

 
At 7:08 AM, Blogger Lazy Daisy said...

Great list...many of my personal favorites too! I agree with Carman.

 
At 7:21 AM, Blogger Heather Smith said...

Funny 13! I totally understand! I also can't understand why one drop of rain turns makes everyone go crazy while driving. Just slow down to a safe speed and go on. Don't stop on the highway!!! Mine are up here and here!

 
At 7:28 AM, Blogger Suzy0928 said...

Thanks for stopping by my list today!

I noticed people in CA are REAL bad about not knowing how to yeild.

Many of these things bug me too. I've been in two major accidents NEITHER my fault.

 
At 8:15 AM, Blogger Mama Duck said...

Ha ha ha, too funny, thanks for sharing!

 
At 10:04 AM, Blogger Sherri said...

the best remedy I guess is to be a defensive driver...most go the other way!

Thanks for visiting my TT:)

 
At 10:27 AM, Blogger Kelly said...

Agreed!
I personally LOVE the people that speed around you just in time to hit a red light!
Always funny.
Always.

 
At 11:45 AM, Blogger Lynda W said...

Great T13 topic! You had me laughing out loud and also shaking my head because I know exactly what you mean.

Happy T13 and thanks for stopping by my blog.

 
At 1:14 PM, Blogger Cristie said...

I love your list, especially #1 because I drive a Tahoe! lol. I have one to add, people who tailgate, riding so close that they can count the hair on your head. I hate it, I have been rear-ended before, I guess you can tell, and I DO tap my brakes to tell them to back off, If that doesnt work, I just look up in the mirror, point a finger (which finger varies) and say, Back off Asshole. So far, no one has pulled a gun on me! I linked to your friend btw, thanks for stopping by my TT.

 
At 1:45 PM, Blogger Susan said...

My TT is up here. Drop by for a visit sometime!!

At 3:08 PM, Blogger twiga92 said...

Oh, yes, so many of these drive me nuts! And living in metro Detroit, I deal with A LOT of these. On a daily basis. Blech!

 
At 3:16 PM, Blogger Amy said...

OH MY GOD! You had me just laughing at these..they were great!!!!! Thanks for the visit too!

 
At 3:27 PM, Blogger Roscoe said...

Yep, all those 13 things annoy me, too.

Thanks for stopping by my list earlier.

At 5:14 PM, Blogger Jo said...

Most of that stuff annoys me big time. But, holy cow, I hope I'm not driving in your neck of the woods!

 
At 5:23 PM, Blogger Fleur De Lisa said...

Leaving the turn signal on for hours and "going around the world to the left" kills me every time!

Hilarious list! Thanks for dropping by my TT earlier.

 
At 11:37 PM, Blogger the_yecart said...

As a fellow Left-lane bandit, I feel your pain. Geeeze people, Get in the right lane already!!! Your slow-arses are really annoying.

My TT is up too.

 
At 10:44 AM, Blogger karen! said...

Hey, good list. People drive that way all over the place, huh.

 
At 8:25 PM, Blogger angela said...

#6...I hate that...people do NOT want to let you in...I don't get that. It's not like you get way ahead by not letting someone in,,,
