How about the trucks that are all in a line your creeping up slowly to let someone out that may want to go, they have tailgated each other for the last 5 miles,nobody pulls out,until your right up there, you know he's gonna cut you off,when you let him out he fully expects it,then he pulls back in line and you gas it to get the heck away from them all,a few minutes later,here he comes full speed ahead,right on your icc bumper,that's what reall peeves me,then I gas it and I'm gone,taking a chance on a ticket,but I don't have to worry about that fool,advertising me running his front door,or rear ending me when a deer or something causes me to stop or avoid something. Just glad this doesn't happen all the time. i hope i'm retired by the time the big boys get that lower speed setup on all trucks. I just know they will have wrecks all over the country then.

How about this one,
Those drivers that race like mad to get ahead of you to a stop light. Little do they know that my Pete 379 dump truck is a triple digit hot rod truck. Heck all my chrome and the 550HP painted on the side of the hood should tip em off. My only gripe is that it's a 10 speed. Even with a shortage of gears I can still leave the light pretty good. Gotta shove that right pedal through the floorboard, my 12 drive tires will get it to the ground and find traction.

and then 1 mile down the road they take a left....

Often times you are lucky if they go that far.
When I lived in VA over 11 years ago there was always one minority set that was VERY famous for pulling out in front of people (not just me) and then make another turn a half mile or even less up the road. -
Its because of things like this that i got pissed off one day and built a push bumper for the front of my pickup. Now when someone sees a full tube bumper that weighs few hundred pounds by itself they dont seem to be as eager to cut me off. Only one has tried and his poor little honda was nudged by my f250 and away he went like a bullet.

These folks all have one thing in common. An attitude that says, "This road belongs to me so get out of my way." Just listen on the CB during a traffic tie up on the freeway. Within a few minutes, a driver will start yelling over the CB for everyone to get out of his way because he needs to make time now. What ever happened to "common courtesy"? I dont' think that it exists any more. A pity.

common courtesy went the way of common sense and the dodo bird extinct! common sense isn't common anymore. just take a walk thru wal mart anytime and you'll see people let their kids run wild thru the store try to run you down in the parking lot just to get one slot closer to the store when they really need to park all f the way at the end for the excersize. like tonite the one that really gets me is the heavy lady that gets the electric cart just so she does'nt have to walk!
