Remember my story of the guy ripping one during Harry Potter? That's the only time I've found a disturbance in the theater funny. I still think it's funny!

I only use this lane to pass somebody - for good reasons or bad , or to get out of a Trucker's way as he merges from an on-ramp(I can't explain this innate respect for Truckers I have). Those are the only times I'll be found there.
2) Turn your blinker off. If you can't HEAR the tick-tick-tick, you probably shouldn't be driving.
I try to signal them, to tell them "you look like an idiot, in the 'fast lane' with a left blinker on" by blinking mine irregularly for a few seconds. Sometimes it works.

5) You can speak English. I know you can. So don't show up to the court/DMV/etc acting like you can't just so you can get special treatment.
People actually do that? hmm, I can pull off a pretty decent Aussie, and British accent (yes there is a difference), but I guess that's still english - so

6) People that can't take a hint that you want ton end a conversation.
have you ever pulled, the "my cell's vibrating" scam? Works every time.

8) Parents that think it's cute that thier kids are satanic little bastards with no respect.I know!! WTF, accept you were a bad parent, and try and fix it!

9) Teacher, cop, and military salaries. Pay these people who are the absolute BACKBONE of your society, please.

10) CNN. Everything about it.I HATE Fox News. They are so rude to guests who don't agree with them - and their political facts are crap. I'll watch anything else but that.

11) People who stink. But mainly the people who DON'T tell them they stink.
I've got a great story about a rancid guy I had to sit next to, and eat...for later...

12) Being afraid to approach something that is different, or avoid it. My GF's son has a facial deformity, and we have to endure whispers from adults about dropping the baby, etc...whereas beautiful innocent children just come out and say "so what happened to his face?", so we can explain that it's just a birthmark. Adults can learn from their children in so many ways.Good for you guys, too many parents/guardians try to hide any 'problems' with their kids - they're ashamed or something stupid. Again, good for you.

13) Professional athletes (especially baseball and basketball). Give me a break about your money woes. Go on strike because $20 million dollars a year isn't enough? Kiss my ass.
I don't hate sports, but I have a big problem with this, and concequently never watched much. Why do you need millions a year, to run around with a Ball?

14) IM speak.

15) Again, IM speak...because it's that bad...

I started a thread about that, a while back...good times...

That's okay in my book - if the fool parks so stupid that he blocks your access, then by all means use his/her vehicle (carefully), after all - that must be why he put it so close.

That sucks, man. So you've got a bit darker skin...uh - so what? I recognise a difference, and then squelch any stereotypes untill I meet the person. Nice suit, btw... definitely stylin'! I like it!

Personal experience Alert: For a while in Middle/high-school, people aparently thought the 'new kid' was gay. You see I moved into the district half-way through the year. All because - an get this - because I was able to lift one leg up and cross it over the other, not like a girl, but the other way...:eek: One of my friends who was in and around the crowds told me. I couldn't believe it. I am quite the contrary, I feel wierd around gay people - girls and guys alike. I don't have any real problems with it - I'll never say anything rude or deragatory - Hell, it's their life. I just feel wierd when I'm around them.

I ride a bike on the weekends while I am saving up for a new car. I am sorry, bikes cannot stop on a dime (unless you have the ones with the sweet disc brakes ). I almost t boned a couple of these morons who stop in my path blocking the sidewalk .

I've got a bike with sweet disk brakes, and they are awesome!
