    I love this thread! haha. So much better than doing work :)

    I have a few:
    1) The a-holes who drive like raging lunatics bobbing and weaving through traffic franticly cutting people off because they are in such a rush ... and then you pull up next to them at every red light because they actually gain no time or distance driving like a complete douche-bag.

    2) People who speed on side streets where there are kids playing near a school. Slow down tough-guy!!! I can see you have a really really REALLY nice car with loud exhaust. No need to drive like a douche-bag. (NOTE: this is the same guy in the #1 example above.)

    3) People who drive with their directional on. Are you ever going to turn?

    4) The people who dont let you merge onto the freeway. God forbid one car gets in front of the them.

    5) Nosey neighbors and Rude neighbors. Or the ones who look at the ground while crossing paths. A simple "Hello" can go a long way.

    And last but not least:
    6) TAILGATERS. These idiots drive me crazy!

    People who say things like, "that looks like a fun lil jump" or "that is a nice lil section" referring to impressive pics on message boards, when in reality, they wouldn't hit anything close to it.

    Example (some pic on this site.. not me):
    [​IMG]

    Joe Poser says: "nice lil jump there, looks fun. I will hit it up when I am in the area"
    vs.
    JonnyNez says: "holly, that is huge! thanks for sharing pic."

    Look, DHP...we all know you go big. The problem isn't GOING big, it's LANDING big! You have no issues going up, it's coming down that you need to dial in! You usually have the sac, but not the skills...

    Not saying that I do, sometimes I get scared for you b/c I am usually behind you and I don't wanna crash into you after you've crashed already!

    1. People that get on the freeway the DIVE over to the far left side of the freeway (fast lane)... and drive slower than the speedlimit.

    2. People that eat while driving. Cellphones are illegal while driving.. what makes a giant ass breakfast burrito ok?

    People who think the only place to drive their huge pick up at exactly 65 mph is the passing lane on the freeway. Next time you are in a line behind some guy who aint moving coz he has the biggest, most poluting car on the freeway, you can be pretty certain it´ll be a guy in a pick up.

    Arseholes who leave trash on the trail and give beer drinkers a bad name (I would have added bottled water drinkers too but they already have a bad name:lol:).

    Anyone who thinks their beliefs somehow trump everyone elses and insist on trying to convince other people that their way is the only way and if you don´t agree, something bad will happen to you. Things that come to mind: religion, dietry habits, religion, sexuality, religion and I think there´s one more............oh yes, religion.

    People going 0-40 from a red light in 60 seconds. When an 18wheeler pulls ahead of you from a red light, time to step on the gas there, buddy!

    Cyclists who don't follow the rules of the road, in particular, blowing through stop signs and riding in the middle of the lane.

    Parents who just have to go grocery shopping or any other shopping with a double wide stroller.

    My biggest though is the effin aholes that park in the Handicap spaces "just for a second" when conducting errands. And then they are surprised by the keying their vehicles get.


    It doesn't talk back to you! :D
