People who slow way down, put their signal on & pull over to the side, then when I start going around them, suddenly decide that's NOT where they want to turn and jerk their car back on to the road.

Drivers talking on their cell phones w/out a doubt. Ok, don't flame me on this one but I find whenever I'm stuck behind someone driving slow, esp in the left lane, its cuz they are yakking away on their cell!!!

Even my kids now will say "Mommy they are so slow, futzing along because they're talking on their cell" LOL. Also recently Washington, DC passed a law outlawing talking on cell phones while driving altho hands free ones are legal. So it is a large problem in this area -- plus w/the traffic congestion I personally find it hard to yap & drive. (I usually pull into a parking lot or garage if I feel a need to talk).

I have to name a few:
1. People who throw cigarette butts out their windows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2. People who don't use their turn signals esp. when I'm turning onto a road and waiting for them to go by and then they turn!
3. When people don't go when the light turns green. Esp if it's a green arrow. I hate that it seems to take 10 seconds for people to get going on a green light. I mean you are driving. Shouldn't you be paying attention to the light!!! (we have notoriously short green arrows and not many people get thru)
4. People who drive slow when I am in a hurry! LOL!

I have a couple:

One is observing children not restrained and bouncing all over the vehicle or being held in the front seat.

In Illinois we have a law that the left hand lane on the interstate is for faster vehicles and/or passing lane. I hate it when someone pulls into the left lane and just sits there and doesn't attempt to move on over to the right lane. It bottles up traffic and no one can pass. Grrrrrrrr!

My top one is parents who don't believe in fastening their kids into a seatbelt.Hello?Safety..It takes what,5 seconds to put them in a carseat or a seatbelt?I don't even pull out of the driveway until both my kids seat belts are fastened&if I look back and see that they've taken them off..I'll pull over&sit there until they're refastened!!


#2>>People who go realllllll slow in the right lane,so when you try to pass them,they think that it's funny to switch into the left lane.UGHHHHHH


#3>>People who have their turn signal on,but NEVER turn..


#4>>People who ride in the back of a truck(in the bed of it)..I don't know why it bothers me,but it does..Especially,if there are adults in the cab&kids in the back!That just urks me to no extent..

My biggest peeve is when cars or trucks come hauling bootie up behind me then ride my bootie because I won't speed up! Now I'm not a speed demon but I'm usually 5-10 mph over the speed limit on the two lane country road leading out to my subdivision, but WHY do they have to be jerks about it? So close I can't see them behind me, or their lights anyway. Luckily I drive a suburban so I just ease off the pedal a bit until I'm doing the speed limit just to make em mad! Oh, and did I mention that Mr. Police Man sits right past where the two lanes open up to four? I quickly pull into the slow lane, they're mad and zip past me and they get busted...favorite game of mine! LOL

Throwing ciggy butts out the window is my next big one too! If you want to pollute your body that's your business, but don't pollute MY environment with your trash! GRRRR...

My next on is smoking in the car with kids. As IF cracking your window is gonna give those babies a breath of fresh air...puleese! In my book, second-hand smoke is child abuse.

Stepping off my soap box now...

So I decided I could post my pet peeves--or I could respond to all of yours since I think everyone has posted mine, LOL!


Nicole,


I hate it when people drive slow in the fast lane, and then you can't even pass them in the right lane b/c there is someone driving just as slow as them in that lane, grrrr!
