3) Move the hell over when you see emergency vehicles on the side of the road. And if one is behind you, GET THE HELL OUT OF THIER WAY.
I was behind someone while OTW to an emergency code 3 call. I couldn't get around him and he wouldn't move...as if he couldn't hear my siren...please. Got cancelled from the call...and now I had the time to stop him....mmmm hmmmm.

4) Heavy traffic and intersections. People who crawl into the middle of the intersection instead of waiting at the white line...so when theri light turns red and the opposite traffic can go, everyone gets jammed up because the minivan is in the middle of the "box". I do rather enjoy being the first in the line when this happens though, I don't even hesitate to hit the gas hard then lock up the brakes and lay on the horn until they can move out of the way. I actually made a woman cry before. Hopefully she never does it again. not nice of me, at all...but this really really bothers me. You just taught her a lesson. When that happens to me, I get on my PA. Again, Impeding Traffic or Blocking an Intersection. Oh yeah...I let them know.

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.
I've had a person try to get out of a ticket before because.."lo siento...pero, yo no hablo ingles." Well....."Esta bien, porque you entiendo espanol. Y ahora, yo quiero su licensia y aseguranza tambien." The look on her face was priceless. And when she began speaking english accidentally during our conversation (she slipped up when I spoke to her in english), she admitted she thought she might get out of it by claiming to only know spanish. Guess what happened next...........*tapping fingers*
6) People that can't take a hint that you want ton end a conversation.

7) Kids that don't listen to thier parents.
AMEN!!!

8) Parents that think it's cute that thier kids are satanic little bastards with no respect. Or better yet...the parents that think it's okay because the kid is their little angel...and they would NEVER do that....please.

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

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. Another AMEN!

1- When the parking is just too tight and there is NO way I can get out of the car without having it open all the way to your cars door, I'll VERY CAREFULLY rest my door on your car to get out. I do understand. But, and it might not happen in your case, but when you get out of your car, your weight is no longer in the car making the car rise up. This is how scratches occurr. If I pull into a spot where I'd have to do that, I move to another one.

2- Talking on a cell phone is not much more distracting (to me anyway) than having a discussion with someone in the car with you. If anything I can pay MORE attention to the road when the person isn't right there for me to see.
Oh, I agree that cell phones can be fine. It's the people who put the importance of talking on their cell phone on a higher priority than paying attention to the road. This is why I like my blue-tooth. SOME people can get so lost in converstation, that they pay no attention to anything else.

"Dirty Mexican!" "Damn FOB, go back to da pill-a-peens" "Hey mon, joo got da ganj?"
Not cool at all, man.

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 .

Run into them....hehehe...Sorry. Shouldn't have said that. Actually, my regular brakes on my TREK mountain bike are awesome! I can stop on a dime w/ those puppies.

Thank you very much.
Another peeve, how about the a-hole that just has to pull out in front of you, even though there's not another car for miles behind you, only to turn off 1/4 mile down the road? Completely agree.
