What little thing would you make illegal just because it pisses you off?

Unless you're going 50 in the fast lane on the Interstate and I'm going 80. Some people don't ever look in their rear view mirrors until I get close. Then they realize they were supposed to be in the slow lane.

And I go as long as I can, passing as many people as possible, before I get over (quickly and politely) when a lane is closed ahead. I'm not one to crawl along behind everyone at 45 mph, when I can safely pass and get ahead of most drivers. I'm never unsafe or disrespectful, but I am an aggressive driver.
You best not be driving 50 in the left lane of the freeway 'cause Imma ride yo *ss until you get over!!!! Then Imma stare at you as I drive past.......:glee:

Usually when I'm being tail gated I'm doing the speed limit--55, 60, or 70 depending on the road. There are speed traps all over the place and the cops seem to be speeding ticket ninjas.
Then there's doing 65 in a 65 zone when an 18 wheeler decides to roar up behind me. Sorry, if someone needs to pass me, pass me and do so safely like you state. There's no need for roaring up behind someone. If I had to even tap my brakes I'd have a truck up my arse, and when I have others in the car it's twice as scary. Our saying is "go kill (yourself) if you want, but leave us out of it..."

All I ask is that you remember that there are other people on the road who go over the speed limit for whatever reason. I don't get close on a two-lane road if the person in front of me is going the speed limit or above, but the parallel driving on a four-lane is ridiculous. Stay in the slow lane if you are just going to drive the same speed as the car you're "passing." Everything I do when driving is to contribute to the smooth flow of traffic, trying not being an obstacle in the way.

Most people just drive to get places. Driving is my very favorite thing to do, and driving fast is my passion. I really appreciate respectful drivers who get out of the way and let me do my thing.

And this isn't directed to you Mel. Just saying what's annoying to me. :)

Parallel driving on four laners IS ridiculous, rolling road blocks are assy behavior and ought to be finable IMO. Staying with the flow of traffic despite the speed limit is indeed the right thing to do, but I can't condone what I was referring to in my original rant: the idiots who are doing dangerous speeds on a crowded highway, weaving in and out of traffic that's moving at a fast pace like they're standing still and putting others safety at risk.

As far as annoyances go, people fly down our road like it's the autobahn, especially after dark. We find dead animals of all kinds out around the road all the time; we're the ones that have to remove them as we're very rural and no one else will. And just two nights ago someone clipped our mailbox, busting the wooden post and shattering the box. I feel like fast driving is fine, but doing so in the wrong scenarios can be disrespectful at best and deadly at worst.

I'd like to add to this thread the ultimate pisser-offer known to man...

Tearless my ass. The biggest annoyance is I've no one to blame but myself.

The deluge of the new perfume commercial that features that Goddess of facial expressions (NOT!) Kristen Stewart ripping her way out of some gauze-like material and running and jumping and punching through a wall. What's it all have to do with perfume?

So many commercials do stuff like that, it has absolutely no correlation with what is being sold and it makes me wonder why on earth anyone would believe that by buying a new car they'll suddenly be transformed into a perfect and beautiful person with a beautiful spouse with beautiful children and a beautiful Golden Retriever living in a beautiful house in a beautiful suburb.

Is the Golden Retriever supernaturally gifted? Sorry, it's a long running joke here to do with Dean Koontz books. Seems like they all have a Retriever that's supernaturally gifted. ;-D

Well - I just wasted some time looking for that video (don't know why!)

She needed some after all that exercise? View attachment 22697

They did say in what I found online that "She looked hot" :laugh::m_tired:

Did you watch the video? It's so lame.
I could not find it - just a bunch of promotional material about the making of the video with some French guys talking, with subtitles.

Okay - never mind - just saw it (the Fragrance is called Gabrielle) - I was looking at some other one :lol_pig:
