WHAT THINGS IRRITATE YOU THE MOST WHEN YOU ARE OUT DRIVING? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Ireneparalegal · 09-13-2005, 12:17 PM

I cannot stand when someone tailgates me. They have no idea when and if I may have to stop abruptly. The way they tailgate my ass, I know I will be rear-ended. I almost always have to change lanes to ease my fears.
My second peeve is those damn cell-phone people. Who the hell is so important to talk to that they think they can almost hit me and then have the nerve to get irritated at me!!!??? I didn't almost hit you, YOU almost hit me!!! I should be angry.

I think about this everyday- People who do not use their blinkers.

What, am I a mind reader? Can you be more dangerous to oncoming traffic and the people behind you?

When you buy a car are blinkers an "option"?

I wish cops would bust more people for not using them, it is a freaking hazzard.

marmalade · 09-13-2005, 02:26 PM

mainly the fact that other people are driving, and I can't.

Good question, Irene. I go through this everyday. I hate the tailgating, especially in the wintertime when you are forced to drive slower, I hate when people pass you on the right and then they end up going no where, I hate when people make left turns on a busy street and if they see you coming they slow your speed down, and they don't really have the right-of-way. And people in front of you turning left or right without signaling.

- People who do not signal
- Tailagaters, especially in crappy weather
- People who insist on riding my ass when Im going 5-10 OVER the speed limit
- Drivers who catch up to me. I hate having other cars behind me, Im so paranoid
- People on bicycles who like to drive in the middle of the road
- People who cut out in front of you only to drive slow or take the next street
- PARKING LOTS

This list above.... ^^^

And also....

-people who are on their cellphones
-people who are doing personal grooming WHILE driving (makeup, brushing hair, etc) Go home and DO that! Geez....

When you're driving on a main road and people on the cross streets approach the stop sign, and go like 5 feet past it. Then you have to swerve out of the way in case they go right through the stop sign. Its soooo annoying.

Gizmo1 · 09-13-2005, 04:04 PM

I hate when ppl ride my ass....I have my permit and my dad will let me go 5mph over the limit, then ppl will come up and ride my ass...im always like GEEZ IM A NEW DRIVER BACK OFF!!! I get so excited when a person doesnt ride my bumper...I love it when they give you space!! I also hate it how ppl excessivley speed...like 5 mph isnt bad on the highway...some back roads you should go the limit....but when ppl road rage....damn....nothing is that important that will warrent you to endanger yourself and others to drive like a fool.

That's pretty much my major complaint, too.
I think if a cop observes someone driving and turning mile after mile without using signals, the fine should be that the car is impounded for one week. They do that, and you'll see everybody always using turn signals!

As for tailgaters, I don't like them on the highway because I try to keep it at a steady 60-65 mph to keep down fuel comsumption.
On the surface streets, they don't bother me because I can always hit the gas and the 400-hp engine in my Cadillac will end their tailgating right away!

dawsongirl · 09-13-2005, 05:51 PM

everything.

The other day, it was this lady who was trying to get on the intersate. There were two lanes that merged into one and we happened to in the one that DID NOT have to yield. So the lady in front of me stops. HELLO...WE DON'T HAVE TO YIELD!

I had problems with her earlier too. She was trying to turn into a parking lot crossing traffic. She could have turned twice and backed up and gotten out of her car and did a dance, but she DIDN'T TURN. HELLO! I almost didn't make the light. And then it took her 30 mins to turn.

So I guess 2 of mine are:
- If you don't know how to drive the interstate or it scares you, please stay the hell off it. Especially if merging freaks you out. I don't have the patience to wait behind you while you stop at the end of the on-ramp. pissed:
- and for god sakes...learn how long your car is and that it doesn't take an hour to cross traffic.

So do I! Especially if their vehicle sits higher than mine.

YoliUSA · 09-13-2005, 05:53 PM

-Tailgating
-People who honk their horns just to bother you (that used to happen when I was in driver's ed)
-People who dont use their signals
-People who invade the other lanes

People do that coming out of parking lots all the time. Again, they have no idea how long their car is.

That reminds me. You and someone else are sitting at a corner on a four-lane street. You want to turn right and the other person is either going straight or turning left. You pull up enough so you can see the traffic coming. So the bastard/bitch in the other car inches forward. So you have to inch forward to see around them. And then they do it again!!

Rene · 09-13-2005, 06:32 PM

i hate it when other cars are around b/c im learning and i dont want to hit anyone

Pitooey · 09-13-2005, 07:33 PM

Tailgating is my #1 pet peeve

Someone mentioned this... that a car goes in front of you then drives slow (WHY???) You jumped in front of me???

I see this on the highway all the time Speeders galore. Here I am going over my speed limit and people are just going by rapidly and they never get caught. Now if I were to do it I would get caught.

Animals jumping in front of the car like Deer, possum, muskrat, frogs, butterflies, anything.....
