In addition to ones listed the above:
  • Drivers who let their passengers put their feet up on the dash. How the hell are they going to check their right side view mirror before they make a lane change?
  • Drivers who let their pets sit on their lap while driving. An innocent person was killed last year because another driver's dog caused them to cross into the opposite lane.
  • Drivers who have "Baby on Board" signs on their vehicles and expect everyone else to look out for them because they're too distracted to look out for themselves or anyone else.
  • Drivers who don't unplug their extension cords from the block heater and wind the cord around the mirror. I've seen the cords unwind on the freeway and fly around whacking neighboring vehicles.
  • People who have their entire stuffed animal collection on the rear dash.
  • Drivers who tail you through a playground or school zone trying to get you to go faster.
  • Drivers who tag along the car ahead without stopping at a 4 way stop.
  • People who park tight against your driver side so that they can have ample room to get out on their driver's side.
  • People who empty their ashtray on the road or in parking lots.
  • Drivers who swerve one way in order to turn the other way.
  • Drivers who stop at the end of a merge lane and expect flowing traffic to come to a complete stop to let them in.
  • Drivers who expect you to stop in the middle of the intersection to let them in your lane because they're stuck behind a stopped bus on the other side of the intersection.
I could go on all day...

Okay, one real pet peeve but strictly applies to E46 M3 owners....

Why is it when I am at a stoplight in the M3, every person wants to race me? I say take it to the track & rack it!

The last one who wanted to race me was driving a Prius?!

there was a pet peeves thread back in january, there aren't necessarily "driving" peeves, but regardless, here's a blast from the past:

1) People who can't follow simple directions

2) People who don't follow through on a commitment

3) People who decide to pay the .81 in change by fishing through their pockets/wallets/purses (that have about $5 in change stuffed into them) after they're done with their conversation with their friend in front of them in line. The kicker is when they act surprised that their lunch doesn't cost an even $6 and THEN decide to start fishing for change.

4) People who ride the EZPass lane who don't have EZPass and then decide to move to the cash lane at the choke point and tie up 4 lanes of traffic (anyone who has ever taken the upper deck of the GW Bridge into NYC will undoubtedly have experienced this one)

5) People who blame society for how they turned out.

6) EXTREME left wing Liberals (not your every day run of the mill liberal, but the extreme left wing liberal.

7) EXTREME right wing conservatives. (not your every day run of the mill conservative, but the extreme right wing liberal)

8) Anyone who doesn't admit that they bought a high end car "just because they wanted it"

9) Met/Jet/Devil/Islander fans. oh, and Bosux fans.

10) People who park next to my vette when I've purposely parked 100 yards from the closest entrance where no one has parked in about 10 years.

11) When people who work for me use some stupid excuse for why they're late when they don't have to be in he office until 10 as it is. And THEN leave before 6 as if they're entitled because it wasn't their fault that they were late.

12) People who use the phrase "i could care less". just for the record the phrase is "I COULDN'T care less", if you COULD care less, you obviously care.

13) Fans who stand up in front of you at sporting events looking for their wallets to pay the concession guy $8 for the cotton candy and funny hat for their 4 year old kid who hasn't watched 2 minutes of the game, and who fail to realize/consider the hundreds of people sitting down behind him who are now blocked from seeing the sporting event that they paid to come see because you can't get your wallet out of your pants while sitting.

14) Anyone who watches the "OC" for the plot

15) All HUMMER owners

16) People who die their hair purple and then pierce various parts of their anatomy and then get an attitude when you gawk at them for being different.

17) My parents who screen every phone call at their house by looking at the caller ID and yet, despite the fact that I've had the same phone numbers for over 3 years, they still let the answering machine pick up because they "didn't recognize the number"

18) People who stand in the doorway of the subway car and don't get out of the way when you're trying to get on or off the train. And then give you attitude when you push through them (even though you've said excuse me about 5 times)

19) People who blame/curse at the cop for giving them a speeding ticket despite the fact that they were in fact speeding and deserve said ticket.

20) People who ride the shoulder to get ahead of the traffic jam and then cut back into traffic up ahead, as if wherever they are going is more important than the hundreds of people that they just jumped ahead of.


and #21 - People who have a long list of pet peeves

Cell phone users are my number one (and today I actually saw a school bus driver come across an intersection talking on a phone).

Next I would say AZZholes that haven't learned what a decel lane is for an insist on slowing down in the drive lane.

Someone who is so slow, after three years he still hasn't figured out his parents don't want to talk to him.

I couldn't resist Gresch..I know, this is war.

He-he, these are good.

I'd have to say Cell Phone drivers are my worst nightmare. Like the guy in the Ford Explodition I saw talking on a phone that made a left turn from the right-hand lane across three lanes of traffic and through a red light in 5 o'clock traffic. Not from a stop mind you, he was on the move. .

Them and the guys that lean their seat so far back they can't see where they're going (is that the 'gangsta lean'???). Their seat is so far back they have to sit up just to look out the side window.

Actually, most of the ones on that list are legit grips for me . Oh yeah, I really hate drivers that don't know what a turn signal is. Especially when the just "mosey'd on over" into the lane I just moved into to get around their sorry, slow ass!

ONE pet peeve when it comes to driving. ONE. This happens so much over here..But if you're going to cut me off by pulling out in front of me even though you're going in the same direction I am, WHY THE F@*& DO YOU SLOW DOWN?!?! I dont mind being cut off at all, at least the guy/gal is aggressive. BUT DONT SLOW DOWN WHEN YOU GET IN FRONT OF ME, YOU F*@&IN PR*CK!!

How much do one of those BigFoot trucks cost? I have an idea..

out....
