Pet Peeve #1

Some bloggers list all their pet peeves all at once. My list is ever growing and changing, so I thought I'd do a new blog series on the little things that annoy me.

My first and biggest pet peeves is: bad drivers!

Why is it so important that you get to your destination 10 seconds faster than I do? I can never understand aggressive drivers; those that fly past you at ungodly speeds or tailgate you trying to get past. There are also drivers that use only the gas pedal and the brake. And those that are driving to a stoplight and brake only at the very last second.

Then the distracted driver that is clueless that they are straddling the white lines taking up 2 lanes, or the ones going 10 miles under the speed limit because they're on the phone or texting. Or putting on makeup, eating or reading the newspaper! Swear to the Gods, I passed someone reading the newspaper while they were driving.

If someone is tailgating me I decide that it's a good time to wash my windshield. The spray makes them wash theirs too... you'd think they'd get the hint and back off, but usually they don't. I end up having to tap my breaks at them several times to get them to back off.

When I pass someone who is clearly distracted I swerve slightly towards them suddenly. This sometimes gets their attention and then I point them to God with a certain index finger. ,,!,,

I also ask them to do lewd things to themselves! I know they can't hear me, but I feel better.
