I've got to vent about stupid people

  • Every bit of this has to do with CONSIDERATION FOR OTHER PEOPLE! There is basically NONE of this in this country anymore!!!! I've run into all of this just this week!

    Why is it that every time I pull into a parking lot there is a Civic, Neon, Cavalier, or other compact car parked cockeyed with at least 1 tire on or over the line? You drive a car that is 5 feet wide trying to put it in a spot that is 8-10 feet wide. If you can't do that 100% of the time then you don't deserve a damned driver's license. I drive a freakin Tahoe and can put it dead ass in the center of the spot 95% of the time and the other 5% I back up and do it again. I expect to see a dually truck or Surburban on the line once in a while. I can live with that but if you drive a 2 door speck you don't have an excuse. If you're not pretty damned close to the center people who drive large cars, trucks, and SUVs cannot park next to you. Your little POS is taking up 2 spots!

    Why when people walk into busy fast food restaurants 1 person will go get in line and the other will go ahead and take a table? 99% of the time it's a woman over 50. The person getting the food won't be back with it for at least 15 minutes when the place is packed so there's no reason for some woman to get straws and napkins and sit down and occupy a table for those 15 minutes. There's a flow to the whole place. You get your food, you sit down for 15 minutes to eat, and you leave. By the time you get your food there will be other people getting up so a table will be free.

    Why do people drive in the left hand lane below the speed limit for 3 miles blocking traffic only to finally merge over....and then turn right! I've dealt with 2 of these this week. The hold me up forever and finally put on their blinker. It's 2 moves, first to the right lane, and then they put on the brakes to turn. Why didn't you just ride in the right hand lane to begin with and not piss off everyone on the damn road?

    Why do people at the drive up ATM not understand how to take their money, receipt, and card, pull up 15 feet, AND THEN put everything in your wallet. There are 8 cars in line and we all know you see us in your rear view mirror.

    When there is road construction you'll sometimes see a sign that says, "Right lane closed ahead. Merge left." Within a mile the right lane will end but some a-hole (or 6) will go right up to the end of it to finally merge just so he can get ahead of another 2 cars. I hate those people but I hate the ones that will let them over EVEN MORE. I will rear end the car in front of me before I let one of these people over. If I ever rear end you due to this I'm sorry, but as Big Worm says, it's the "principalites."

    Why in the hell do people go to Wal Mart and buy $180 worth of groceries and go out through the lawn and garden section? I go in to buy some toothpaste or some Roundup and I have to wait in line behind some damned woman with 2 weeks worth of groceries while she digs through her purse for coupons while the cashier has to separate out the things that she can't buy with food stamps.

    Good call. Do I know you or are you stalking me? If you're stalking me that's fine but just keep your distance. ninja

    I used to live in Anderson. Don't think we know each other, but you've mentioned Anderson a couple of times and it stuck for some reason. I'm too old, tired and cranky to stalk anyone. Additionally, it can carry jail time and I'm not much of one for roommates.

    That's cool. I just didn't want to find you hiding in my garage when I got home.

    And that happened to me this morning on my way to work! Two cars running exactly 50 MPH in a 55 zone side by side on a 4 lane highway. After about 3 miles of tailgating the dude in the left lane he finally sped up just enough to about 55 for me to pass him on the right. Next thing I know, I'm running 65 in the right land and he's in the left lane running right with me about 2 car lengths back. He ran behind me for the next mile or 2 until he damn near slammed on the brakes at a stoplight. He went from taking his sweet ass time to trying to race me.

  • Don't it grind your gears when you’re in the right hand lane doing the speed limit and some alpha hotel comes racing up your backside then whips around to pass you only to veer off onto the exit ramp .... couldn't wait the 10 to 15 seconds to exit.

  • One addition to your fast food gripe, and this applies to all food/concession lines....the d-bag that is in line in front of you for 8 minutes and he's on his phone, he's tweeting, he's checking his stupid Facebook page, etc and then it's his turn to order and he goes "Oh am I up? Wow. Let's see. Uhhh. Wow what do I want? Uhhhh. Sorry. Give me a second here. "
    You idiot!!!! You've had 8 minutes to decide what you wanted but you spent all that time tweeting what you were doing and letting your 4 Facebook pals know where you were and now I have to wait on your dumb azz to figure it out.
    One more...the guy that pulls out in front of you, causing you to hit the breaks to avoid nailing him. Then he doesn't have the courtesy to punch it and at least get going....then he turns a quarter mile down the road. Seriously? You couldn't wait for me to pass given that you were turning 65 feet done the road?

  • I can relate to all of your scenarios. However, you have to love the liar. One who preaches being honest and then lies themselves. Oh, and how about the holy rollers who profess their Christianity and in reality live a life God would be ashamed of. Ok I feel much better to have vented. Thanks man!

    Tripp, as an over the road truck driver, I understand your complaints. (by the way, my truck will do the speed limit and then some,so I'm not the truck blocking the left lane) As for the people who won't merge over, a lot of them just don't read road signs. I will watch people ride the ending lane till the last minute even when theres not a back up. then suddenly the brake lights come on when they are panicking trying to figure out what they need to do.(cell phone?)
    As for fast food, I love the person in the drive thru at lunch time who is getting lunch for all 20 people in the office and wants to place each order seperately and pay for them seperately. It would make much more sense for this person to get there lazy butt out of the car and go inside.
    Back to the highway, some people dont know how to do a steady speed ,so they are the ones suddenly keeping up with you when 2 minutes ago they were holding you up. Some people need a pace car in front of them.
    Now some truck driver complaints. At night,if you are going to do the same speed as me, (pace car again) don't ride on my left corner with your head lights in my mirror because you can't see down the road if you are behind me. Either back off to where you can see or come on around me.( but don't come around me, move in front of me and then slow down.) If you insist on riding on my corner, don't be surprised when I turn on my turn signal and move to the left lane in front of you with little or no warning. (Yes, you are suppose to use your turn signal when changing lanes)
    When it's raining, turn on your headlights. All that spray coming off my tires that makes it hard for you to see, it also makes it hard for me to see you in my mirrors.
    One last thing. I try to use the left lane only for passing (what a concept) but when i need to move to the left lane and turn on my left turn signal, I'm not asking for permission to move over, I'm telling you I am moving over. Hate to be like that but I've got a load to deliver.

    i was sympathetic on this thread until i realized that on most of my football trips to columbia from the mid 80-s until about six years ago is that i was guilty of all these offenses

    the fact i was drunk and stoned out of my mind had a lot to do with it.

    so, when you get all concerned about the other driver, give him, me, a break, its just how i roll....well...how i used to roll...not anymore

    but, wait. i just bought season tickets. look out any gameday between greenville and columbia. its a jungle out there

    what was bad was when i got coked up in addition to all the other stuff.

    the good old days
