"Man, it really makes me mad when..."

My biggest pet peeve is when anyone,4 wheels or big truck pull past the stop bar! A few inches isn't so bad, but the morons that pull 10 ft past it drive me insane! The stop bar is there for a reason!

My other is when someone pulls out in front of you on a hill that you just happen to be pulling nicely and you have to hit the break, drop 2 gears and watch everyone in the right lane pass you.

 

hey injun that was me in tampa---i was just waving to you
no seriously dont take it to heart--i think i get flashed more by guys than girls
which is very annoying to say the least
i sure like seeing a nice rack--but not a fat old man yanking his crank

 

#### Injun, you must attract as many psychos as Nana!

 

Thats or when its a 4 way stop and you cant make the turn because they are to far forward, so you wave the guy on. Then the next guy inline, instead of waiting, pulls up to the same spot. Thats when I just swing out infront of them and make them back up

 

At night. When a big truck in opposing traffic gives me his high beams because he's convinced I've got my highs on. Often there's not even a mention on the radio, just a blast of light.

Mostly I resist, but every once in a while, it chafes just enough (and there are few enough innocent bystanders on the other side with the offending party) that he gets a longer, fuller return blast.

Yes, they're aimed properly; no they're not silver star lamps. I keep very, very clean headlight plastic.

If somebody is coming at me that I think might be running high beams, I just look at the fog line. If I'm relatively alone on my side, and I'm 100% positive it's a high beamer opposing me, sometimes I'll douse all of my lights for a quick two count, run black, and then light back up. Call me crazy, but that one works almost every time. I think it pokes a hole in the night driving glaze. (Again, note that I never do the full-black trick if anybody's within a half to three-quarters of mile of me on my side.)

 

I hate it at Pilot when one driver is getting his trip report scanned and another driver comes in needing his trip report scanned. So he goes to the second clerk. The second clerk goes over there and waits on the first clerk and there's grid lock.
Driver 2 has to wait regardless, so wait on that first clerk and stop wasting my day!

But like someone else says, you deal with the same crap day in and day out, you just let it roll off you. I'll usually joke about a bad situation.

 

I hate it when you have to go to the clerk to get a trip pack scanned. I know how to scan it, don't need someone to hold my hand and do it for me.

 

Yeah thats exactly what I mean. My favorite place in here in Ohio, Rt 16 W getting onto rt. 37 in Granville. It's a tight swing anyway and the place the stop bar Ft 10 back , and Im sure it looks weird to drivers. However it's the minimum amount of room Big truck need to swing it!
I did like you suggested and just pulled out and sat there waiting for 4 cars to back up.
If I was a trooper I would spend all day on stop bar violators and vehicles tailgating big trucks

 

I cant stand the high beams also. but I answer with my air horns of doom (152 DB of train horn). Then the person that cuts right in front of me slams on brakes to take an exit. I don't pass anyone or even try if I am within 5 miles of my exit. Even though I am not governed what so ever. I just don't do it because if I have to start my slow down before I am fully on the ramp due to being heavy/wet roads/ short sharp ramp/ whatever we all know sometimes you have to start slowing down before you get onto the off ramp and I don't want to cause anyone else to slow down due to it. But I also hit my turn signal 1/4 from the exit to let people know I might be slowing down once I see what type of ramp it is.

My all time pet peeve is TXTIN while driving. I light these fools up with the air horn soon as they are not next to my rig as I know they are about to swerve due to being scared out of their skin because they were not paying attention what so ever to what is going on around them.

And I swear they don't teach people how to merge any more these days. I was taught to floor it on the ramp and then slow down to meet the speed of traffic.

I think if injun were to pass me then I might be incline to speed up and get on the cb and be like hey I know you wave then slow down and signal her over. Then just end at that to leave her wondering who that was lol.

 

I would know who it is. The only guy driving around with arrows and spears stuck through his head.
