Or pull out a gun and shoot you. Road rage is scary.
Most have already demonstrated thier inability to multitask so am not too concerned.

I was at an inner city grocery store, an unSafeway. Some man was in the 10 item checkout line with his cart overflowing. In true inner city fashion, someone told him he was in the wrong line with all his groceries and full cart went off on the person. It was memorable.
There are many people who only follow rules that don't go against them and their behavior. Inner city people think they have to get an attitude, get in the accuser's face, yell and name call.Yep, they think they own the store...been in more than one confrontation over this...and because nearly all the offenders are Black, store security is afraid to confront them...can't be "racist" you know!

people who don't prepare for power outages.we had a 3 day outage when the tornadoes hit town the other day.in which i couldn't get a couple of ppl to go with me to get donations that "they need".i ended up getting 2 of them flashlights with batteries.
Today's pet peeve is plants that won't come out of the pots so you can transplant them. Admittedly we left them until they were root bound but still we almost had to get a jackhammer into them to get them out.
Another pet peeve since we have a few narrow country roads here is people who drive straight down the middle and won't pull off to one side so you almost have to go bush to avoid them .
When there are rolling hills, this is how bad accidents happen.
I can be stubborn about such things and do something to help the person coming toward me understand what they need to do. This is easier if you are not going too fast. I take my position, my half, where it should be and stop. The oncoming person has to move over, or stop as well.
I see a similar problem when walking on sidewalks or when I was at a mall. People will go 4 or 5 abreast, and expect everyone to move out of their way. I just stop where I am. When I walk with friends, it seems that one of my friends will step off to the side of an 8 foot wide sidewalk if someone has decided that their piece comes out of the middle. Not me. I just stop, in the place where everyone can have their piece.
...Take your place and stop if you can. Force them to move over. Never put yourself at risk of going off the road and rolling over....
...People who must be feeling insecure, feel it necessary to turn every comment or response ...
Squirrel!
Send me a link and I'll make the same suggestion. If they delete my post we can get a chain of people to post.Shaking my head !!! ...I go to a garden site often...a person asked what to do with stink bugs on her plants..so I truthfully replied, "Squash them"....which I do...and I got a note from the administrator stating they had to remove my post because it was inhumane....LOL LOL....I am too old for these eccentric ones...
OH I agree with so many of these. Here let me add one or two.
People who are nose blind and either wear too much cologne/perfume or use way too much fabric softener. It's not bug repellent people!
People who wear spandex in public - typically spandex that's too small. I don't care how old, what size, etc. I don't want to know that much about anyone!
I'm with you on both of those, LadyLocust. Nose blind people generally attract insects with those smells.
I am known to dislike it when people where yoga pants as outer wear pants, and the spaghetti string stretch tops that go with it. My whole family knows how much I hate this. It looks like Star Trek uniforms, completely skin tight. If I see a lot of it at one time while we are out, I call it a Star Trek convention. The twins middle school teachers wore a lot of these yoga pants, in all patterns, as pants. I wear these under long skirts in the wintertime to keep my legs warm. I consider all of this underwear, not outerwear.
@Meerkat I am that mean old lady who tells those children in the grocery store to find their parents and stay with them even if I know the parents are standing right there. Parents usually let them run free because they can't stand them either. I've had a parent give me a look before but have yet to have one say anything about it. The children won't learn if nothing is ever said to them. I'm rather narrow minded that way - also believe parents are responsible for their childrens' education not the tax payers. If a child can't function in a group, send them back home to the parents to deal with until they can. (My opinion.)
