People who deliberately drive EXTREMELY slow, simply because they have no where to be anytime soon. GET THE F*** OUT OF MY WAY!!!

And people who pronounce the word schedule, "SHED-jool". Go back to "SHOOL" (school)

.... sorry Enzo.. I am guilty of the "paddles" one!
I agree with the slow drivers.. EXPESSIALLY (bad spelling) Left lane drivers.
My peves include un-organized ppl, lazy ppl, and rude ppl...

1) people who push their beleifs onto others.... especially the ones whom force us to comply with what they think is a "good thing" ( EX: 90% of all politicians).

2) people who dont use their signal lights. i mean 'comon, all it takes is a flick of the wrist, but it seems like tons of people are too lazy or distracted to abide by a simple law. people who lack a left hand / arm are excused from this peeve, but that is really the only excusable reason for not signaling.

3) able- bodied people who park in a handycapped parking space. pisses me off for obvious reasons.

4) people who tailgate me at night with their brights on. if they just "gotta go NOW" and cant drop their lights down and give me a few carlengths, i'll slow down to 25 MPH. its like a "time out" for people like that

5) oncoming cars with their brights on - you wanna blind me, thats fine, but dont expect me to not flip my highbeams on just for you, and mine are much brighter

People who just HAVE TO pull out in front of you when you are going a good speed when NOBODY else is behind you, then they go sloooooowwwww.

People who LEAVE their blinker on so you never know when or if they need to turn.....or....they turn in the OPPOSITE direction!

People who sit at the light when it turns green...

People who park so close to you in a parking lot that you can't get in your side of the car

People that drive slow in the fast lane, then when you try to drive around them on the right they speed up so you can't get in front of them

when people say WARSH(wash) or BATROOM(bathroom) or TERLET(toilet) etc.

People that go in the express line at a store then pull out a check that they didn't pre fill anything out on and they take forever, "what date is it", "what's my total?", etc.

ok that's it for now, too tired to think of rest but I'm sure I can think of plenty more, lol

1> People who learned somthing recently, then try to teach you like they've known it forever.

2> People who think they are high in society, but really look like idiots.

3> People who litter out of their car window while they're driving in front of you.

4> THE SIDWAYS HAT THING AS POSTED ABOVE!!!!!!!!!!

5> People who are intimidated by your car so they have to rev theirs or pass you (slowly LOL)

6> DRUNKS!!!!!!

7> Most parents these days (there are still alot of good ones though)

8> People with their undies hanging out.

9> People at a store or some place of bussiness who are rude to the employees

10> People who drive and text

11> Couples that fight in public and try to make one another look bad to the general public.

12> Thievs

13> People who talk in crowds loud so everyone can hear their life story

14> Kids trying to spend every last penny from their pocket full of change on candy in the gas station. ( You know, how much is this> What about this, can I get this with this much?)

15> Girls walking down the sidewalk picking their wedgies.

16> People who are starring at you, then when you catch a glance at them, they look away real fast.

17> People who fart in the middle of a crowd.

18> People who flick their ciggarett butts out of their sunroof when you're behind them.

20> People on their cell phones in the middle of the check out lane.

21> And the worst on of all, the dirty men starring at my wife. And by dirty, I mean foul smelling, nasty looking, bum looking like dirt bags that cant pay the dollar to wash their clothes at the laundry mat cause they spent the last of it on their tall boy two hours ago!!

And about the sandles thing above, I wear my sandles with my socks all year round

Sorry for the lengthy replie, but I think everyone on this great forum, will agree with me on my whole reply... Right??
