Shut up.

Just shut up, already.
 
Why do people continually use the left (fast) lane, invariably with their cell phones perched on their ear, and go less than the speed limit?

I mean, this is probably the biggest peeve of most people I know. You'd think those folks would have received the memo by now.

Apparently not.
 
What pisses me off more than that, is going 10-15 miles an hour over the speed limit in the middle lane, and having guys in big trucks riding your ass and motioning you to get over when they can go around you if they would like to

Man, if that's what drives you crazy in Atlanta, Portland is even worse. In fact, I've never seen a worse city where I have to pass on the right--and I've driven in New Zealand!

I hate when I get dirty looks at reds lights because I'm a teenager.
 
Laos and Thailand are 10x worse than New Zealand. In Laos you overtake traffic into the oncoming cars.

I'm sure they are. I brought up NZ because that was the country where I've done the most driving on the left side of the road--ergo, where you pass on the right as a matter of course.
 
Why is it, when I do a home plumbing project, it's no less than two trips to Home Depot, takes three times as long, and nearly twice the expense than I'd planned?

Yeah, whereabouts did you go in NZ?
 
What pisses me off are people who are too damn sensitive. Like the people in W. Va who want Barbie banned, or the people who bitched because Obama had a beer at a basketball game, or the dumbass people in the Iowa house who think that children sneaking a peek at a playboy is somehow child abuse. Good lord, get a life.

Agreed. If you've ever driven on the Sunset Highway, I-5 between L.O./Tualatin and Portland, or I-84 between I-5 and I-205, you'll see these morons.

Here's a pretty funny link, if you haven't seen it.

Why the hell do I need to leran this chemistry and math crap. I will never use it.. never. I'm going to be a zookeeper, that means I need to know how to clean, prepare food, train, and talk to people. Even zookeepers I talk to said the only thing that will prepare you for this job is internships, so why the hell do I need to know this useless crap.
 
I hate when portland police just flip on their lights to go through a stop light in no hurry.

I hate it when police make turns and/or change lanes without using turn signals, speed, and the like when you know they're not on a chase or other police-related business.

Sure this guy spent a little too much time recording this, creating a blog or story since cops put their lives on the line but, they should still abide by restaurant property guidelines.
Or, you drive past a crime scene or accident and portland PD (or yours in Georgia) leave their engine cars running using up tons of gas for no purpose. Why don't they turn off these cars? Its not like they are going anywhere. Waste of tax dollars going to car fuel being burned up for no reason.

Way OT, but I love your sig, Main Event.

Hugo Weaving, Natalie Portman, Count of Monte Cristo, 1812 Overture, great writing.

I'll stop now.
 
I'm ranting about myself. Why the fuck do I always put off doing papers until the very last minute? So far I've always gotten good grades, but one of these days I'm going to royally fuck myself over and get a deserved F. So fuck me. Why the fuck couldn't I have at least written a couple fucking pages last weekend? Why do I keep coming here instead of just working straight through and getting this thing finished so I can get some sleep so that I can enjoy tonight's game instead of falling asleep halfway through? Lazy motherfucker.

One thing I learned early in my college years is that I needed to complete papers/projects/presentations when I started them. Working by bits and pieces just didn't yield a good result. So after my first two years of 24-hour burnout sessions to hit a deadline, I started to set my own 'deadline' a week prior to any major assignment. That way, I still would work from start to finish if possible, but then the pressure was off and I could revise it and improve it as the actual deadline approached. My grades improved, I wasn't as stressed about things, and )gasp) I actually learned more as I read/revised throughout the week.

I hate the people who appear to be in fine shape that take the Max after the game from the Rose Garden to the stop before Lloyd Center. Lloyd Center is not that far away from the RG people! Fucking walk you lazy bastards. I hate these same people getting off at Lloyd Center who refuse to move to the middle of the fucking train to allow others on because, as they say "I'm egtting off in a few stops". Yeah. SO IS EVERYONE FUCKER! Move the fuck inside so everyone else can cram themselves in. I fucking hate these people. I need to take the train past Lloyd to get home, but I find myself contuinually walking to Lloyd, and then hopping on the train from there because, as I said, it isn't that far, and it beats getting smashed on the Max. Fuck I hate those people. If it's any of you on here, MOVE TO THE FUCKING MIDDLE!! YOU ALL GET OFF AT THE SAME STOP!

Interesting, my pet peeve is a combination of your two. I get really annoyed when seniors are out on the road during rush hour or lunch hour. Unless you have a specific appointment time, you're supposed to be stay off the road to allow those of us paying your social security more time to work. I don't have time to drive behind you at 15 miles below speed limit... I'm not a morning person and am often running late. I don't need anyone else's help to make me late and I only have 1 hour for lunch! :tsktsk:

And beets, I hate beets.

Some people just thrive on pressure and do their best work during those times (at least that's the story I tell my boss, hah). It you're getting good grades maybe it's not so bad. I got through college procrastinating the whole time (even managed to graduate with a decent GPA). In fact, I'm at work and procrastinating right now. :lol:

dude, are you me? hah

shit just falls into place for me usually. sometimes there are rough patches but I get by on little work.
 
Driving in snow....the ones who drive at a snail's pace, even on dry pavement......as opposed to the ones who think, just because they have a 4-wheel-drive, they can go blitzing 20-miles over the normal speed limit.

In either case, they're tremendous road hazards.
