Don't be that guy. Pet peeves.

[ScarletHayes]

SIAP, but one of my classic traffic pet peeves took place today.  Ok, state trooper has someone pulled over and...   and everyone is braking.  People, he's not going to leave the guy he just pulled over to nail you for doing 75 in a 70!  Use your friggin head!!!!!!!!!  He's occupied.  Maintain your freaking speed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   

Now if you're driving down the road doing 100, with a turret mounted on the back of your truck, and you're taking pot shots at fellow drivers?  Ok...   then he'll probably leave the guy on the side of the road and come for you, but otherwise?   Quit braking and MOVE!!!!!!!

My buddy and I always said pulling someone else over was our favorite place to see the cops.

Yes!  Exactly!  Go for it.  The guy is occupied.

Not sure if I already mentioned this.  Getting ready to head out here so I’m not looking, so anyway…. It’s winter.  You’re up for the day.  You slap on a fresh pair of socks and then, IT happens.  You step in that damn wet spot!  I friggin HATE that!  Funny thing is that we take our shoes off at the door, but it still somehow manages to happen on occasion.  Man I HATE that.  Especially when I’m getting ready to walk out the door in a few minutes.

There are  a lot of them out there. I had a guy sit next to me at a bar while I was eating and he started spitting chew into a cup. Disgusting to do in public anyway but right next to people eating? This wasn't a dive but the bar at a nice restaurant. 
In a class at ASU I heard snapping sounds behind me and a guy had out a big pair of clippers and was clipping his toenails. The things were flying all over the room. Oblivious to about 30 faces turned in disgust towards him. 
There are a lot of incredibly gross people out there.

The VP of our company took his shoe and sock off during a meeting to inspect his ingrown toenail. I ***** you not, his foot was on the conference table in front of a group of 7 or 8 people. I've also had the unpleasantry of watching him shove a pen cap in his ear trying to dig out whatever was in there. This is an educated man with a masters degree.

The Head of my residency program would do something like this when he sat in on a lecture and got bored. He would take off a shoe and sock, tear off a too long toenail, and pick his teeth with it. This was a 55 year old MD. And his farts were legendary. Anytime , anyplace

WTF

Pulling in forwards is just dumb and lazy.

Everytime I do it, some gigantic truck will park on either side of me by the time I get back to my car, and then I can't see squat backing out.

Bingo.  Where I work the parking lot is Thunderdome.  Some of these vehicles parked next to me are so damn big I gotta be practically halfway out of the spot before I can even see.  With the cars zipping around  the way they do it's a minor miracle you don't get clipped.  

When ya back in all ya gotta do is pull up a couple inches and you can see everything when you go to leave.  Again though, I won't do it with multiple cars behind me.  I'm not going to hold people up, especially at work.  Most of 'em are probably cutting it close on being on time as it is.

I don't mind making people wait for me to back in. I have to wait for them to back out, which takes a lot longer because they have to stop every six inches so that they can crow their neck around like a complete and total jackass, in a futile effort to be able to see anything.

The way people drive too fast in busy parking lots is why I don't even bother to look for a good parking space.  I would rather just park out in the back 40 and walk two minutes to avoid a wreck with some moron driving too fast.

Correct.  I never park up close or near others if there is empty space farther out.  Drives my wife nuts.  She will drive around the lot looking for a "better" spot to save 50 feet of walking.  Also why park next to ***** who are going to open their doors into yours?  Makes no sense.
