I do not want to open my wrapped bagel ten minutes down the road just to find a wad of soft spreadable cream cheese that you somehow managed to cake in the center hole of my bagel. Please spread the soft spreadable cream cheese.

Even worse, when they take the tub of butter and place it on your bagel. Its not cream cheese, its disgusting, and I even order it with "less spread" yet it seems to be more than one could ever need on a dozen bagels. Maybe dd should use bilingual ordering screens so everyone understands what the **** I want!

Big 18 wheeler with oversized load flags, but carrying a pool that stretches into other lanes... Which of course freaks people out and then suddenly lose connection to their feet and can't pass it.

At least the ABS works. Ugh.

[greenformula92]

Specifically while driving the 18 wheeler. People who drive in the middle lane but are going slow enough to be in the right. Forcing me to pass them illegally to the right or get out into the left lane illegally. Another good one is someone going slow. You move over to pass them and they speed up. So you move back into the right lane where you belong and the slow back down again. This continues for 50 miles....the truck is limited at 66...maybe idk put your damn phone down and do at least 66...its not like I'm doing 80 here. Another one is the fact that ppl assume because its big that it must be slow so they pull right out in front you....its not exactly a walk in the park to get 80,000 pounds slowed down from 50 to 10 cause you don't know how to step on it. Another good one is people stopping in the ez pass express lane, specifically the toll on the turnpike right after metlife cause they screwed up. You can't stop there...its like stopping in the left lane of the highway. I can't tell you how many people almost wound up wearing my KW hood ornament because of that. Getting it stopped isn't like stopping your Honda, how about a little common sense

These are the same things that grind the gears of every truck driver I have ever met. Isn't the statistic something like 95% of truck accidents are caused by people driving cars?

Driving the PA turnpike during rush hour I routinely see people almost get themselves creamed by trucks. My favorite still being the douche nozzle in an Audi that hit the back of an 18 wheeler weaving in and out of lanes because he was in such a big hurry in a traffic jam. Although the karma of watching the idiots radiator explode was glorious I am guessing it screwed the trucker over by delaying the load.

That's not illegal in NJ on roads of 2 lanes or more.

[transampete]

Cruising along with the cruise control on and getting ready to overtake someone when they suddenly speed up move in front of you and then slows down to the speed they were going when you were overtaking them in the first place. Like somehow they were policing your speed or something. This problem works in reverse too. Cruising along with the cruise on when suddenly someone is tailgating you and so you move over right but they don't pass instead they block you behind a slower car. WTF pass me already. Oh yeah, left lane dicks too. If you're not passing people move the f#ck over. I'm not flashing my high-beams just to say hi. I drive all over this state for work and I actually have someplace to be. So get out of the way!!!

One more thing, put down the phone and drive.

Although I do it too. I'm pretty sure it's illegal to pass on the right any time.

That's the statistic I heard as well. And being out there I believe it. And I have to say that a lot of ppl in PA really don't know how to drive. So I know your frustration

Thanks Bill. Roads with two lanes or more in the same direction it's perfectly legal to pass on the right.

I'll keep this as a reference just in case I get pulled over.

I didn't comment further because of the ambiguous way it's written. That's just what's in the book.

Looks like it's legal but only if certain conditions are met. What's the definition of "substantially continuous line"?

Looks to me that its one of those laws that's left to the officer to interpret. And I think we all know what what amounts to

[1320B4U]

Out of everything posted, the bagel and cream cheese bit pisses me off as well. I like 'less spread'..please do not build up the cream cheese like its boars heads' finest. Cream cheese (imo) is like mayo or mustard, less is more.


..oh, and people that refuse to grow up. Stop living at home when your 30++++, move on w/the rest of your life. If you run into a hard patch that is fine, but refusing to leave after a few years b/c one doesn't have a game plan is downright crazy. I have a few friends that like that (or used to). Stop driving something that costs more than what's in your 401k, there is plenty of time to acquire fun ***** when your more liquid, we're too old to be that stupid. 40 is coming up quick. I've learned to surround yourself w/positivity, which is so much more healthy for body and mind.

My job/company, people in NJ can't drive (and half of them of from PA), the roads are a POS and there are too many stupid traffic lights! And I only have a 10 minute drive to work and it still grinds my gears. And who's this Bubba character?

[heavy_chevy29]

-in general, people. more specifically the people that feel the need to voice their opinion when it really is not necessary.
- people who drive really slow, or text, or are on the phone
-people who talk extremely loud when on a cell phone in a public place. like they are some how showing the world how important they really are.
- people who have a CDL that can't back a truck and trailer up in a timely fashion (or drive the truck in general).
-anyone I used to work for
- customers that need things fixed the same day and bitch about the price (when i show up to their house and complete the repair same day)
-gas prices
-anything government related (especially OBAMA CARE)
-paying taxes
-lack of quality in products compared to 20-30 years ago
-the fact that society accepts that lack of quality is ok
-anything insurance related
-the cream cheese thing is a good one
-the one thing that really gets me going is when you are standing on line at a store (what ever it may be). there is a big line. everyone is waiting to pay and leave, but there is one ******* that feels the need to pay with change, exact change, or won't leave the counter until they count and verify the change that was given. for some reason this sole act really gets under my skin more so than the rest

thats just the tip of the ice burg. i could go on for days.

Stress much? LOL.

theres just a few things in life that annoy me. LOL. believe it or not i'm a pretty calm person

[1320B4U]

Interested in the lack of quality items now than 30 years ago. Just wanted to see what you meant being it was the 80's where quality wasn't known to be that great.

I think things are built better now than they have ever been.

I associate that with the same "the (insert government agency) killed the muscle car!" or "things are too damn expensive now!" rant.

In fact, people who say things like the aforementioned quotes grind my gears.
