Post the little things that invoke a murderous rage instead of slightly annoying you.

I absolutely HATE IT when people sneak up behind me and startle me. No, really, friendships have been ruined become some *** decides it's funny to be a pansy and sneak up behind me and make me jump (especially when playing FEAR). I don't know why, but I want to throw punches everytime someone does it, going into a cursing rage, and promising myself never to talk to that person ever again.

There are cereal dispensors (or whatever they are called) at my campus's cafeteria. Unforetunaly, there are these few people that go through the Lucky Charms and only go for the marshmellows. I mean, people use the big cereal scooper to go hunting for the colorful, little marshmellow bits.

I hate it when someone turns left into the middle turn-lane and then merges with traffic. HATE. IT.

Actually it's for making left turns OFF the road, but it is perfectly legal to do what he said :p

Center Left Turn Lanes

A center left turn lane is in the middle of a two-way street and is marked on both sides by two painted lines. The inner line is broken and the outer line is solid. If a street has a center left turn lane, you must use it when you turn left (VC §21460.5[c]) or start a permitted U-turn. You may only drive for 200 feet in the center left turn lane. This lane is not a regular traffic lane or a passing lane. To turn left from this lane, signal and drive completely inside the center left turn lane. Do not stop with the back of your vehicle blocking traffic. Make sure the lane is clear in both directions and then turn only when it is safe. Look for vehicles coming toward you in the same lane to start their left turn.

When turning left from a side street or driveway, signal and wait until it is safe. Then drive into the center left turn lane. Enter traffic only when it is safe.

You may drive across a center left turn lane.


Not only is it "legal", it's what you're SUPPOSED to do when there is traffic.
2007-03-02, 11:34 AM #14
Yeah, that's perfectly legal as long as you're not obstructing someone trying to use the turning lane. Now what I really hate is when people pull onto the shoulder to turn. The right shoulder is not a turning lane, and driving through it to cut through traffic to get to your turn quicker is a douche move, not to mention illegal (as it's essentially passing on the shoulder). This never seems to happen when I'm in Nashville, but everyone in my hometown seems to think the shoulder is their own personal turning lane.

Just reiterating that it doesn't say anywhere that you're SUPPOSED to do that every time there's a center left turn lane >.>

And that it still doesn't invalidate my original statement that it's really there to turn left >.>

more traffic stuff, but i hate it when people pull across the hashed yellow lines into the left turn lane at an intersection.i got into an accident because of that once. making a left turn out of a parking lot through the left turn lane and some dick head pulled out of ANOTHER parking lot across the yellow lines and hit me. and I'm the one who got cited because i couldn't prove that they pulled across those lines. that marked out section isn't a part of the road and its illegal to drive on it, though it is a rare occasion when one gets cited for it. this particular incident has had me burning with rage for almost a year now.

to illustrate my point, i have made a horrible drawing not nearly to scale but close enough to get my point across, i hope.

I can't stand people touching me, unless they're like really close friends. When people do that thing where they come up without warning from behind and pat you on the back, or clap you on the shoulder and leave their hand there while they talk to you.. drives me batty..


Also when people take the cheddar or such out of the fridge and then LEAVE IT OUT once they're done using it, and it starts to develop that hard translucent shell and gets greasy.. no matter what you do or how long you leave it back in the fridge for, it's totally ruined FOREVER. Almost nobody else seems to notice or care about that transformation, but it makes me so distraught.


When you go to a diner [most commonly happens here, but also at other restaurants], and the waitress calls you names like "honey" or "dear" like they know you or something, feels really unprofessional and awkward for me [and at least several other people I know, guys and girls alike].


When people don't wash their hands after using a public [or private] restroom.


People who turn their blinker on only after they're already most of the way through their turn.


People who hardly know me, recommending a movie or sommat saying: "It seems like the sort of think /you/ might really like." What does that even mean?

The middle-lane/turn-lane thing is legal here in Arkansas too, but ...

I still HATE IT.

So if we ever meet in person, this means I shouldn't slap you on the *** and yell "GO TEAM!" ?

I hate when people turn onto any four- or five-lane road. 90% of them do it incorrectly. You're supposed to pull into the nearest lane to your turn, then change lanes later. Most people will pull dangerously across two lanes to get into the one they want to be in immediately. If you're making a right turn onto a road with 2 lanes going your direction, you're supposed to pull into the slow lane, not the fast lane. If you're making a left turn onto a road with 2 lanes going your direction, you're supposed to pull into the fast lane, not the slow lane.

I hate the way some people drive on the road. I've already had the following happen:

-People who don't use their turn signal.

-Someone tried turning left on a 5 lane road in front of me and someone else beside me coming the opposite direction.

-People who drive way too fast in really bad weather(heavy snow, ice, heavy rain)

I've also had an incident where I was walking into a gas station to pick up a few goodies for the road and someone just starts backing up and coming close to hitting me. Thing is, the guy is talking on his cell phone(obviously not paying attention) and he has the nerve to give me a dirty look.

The one thing that made very happy though is I've seen someone accidentally pull out right in front of a cop. Serves him right...

I think you lost the thread. Epic is a great expression when the situation calls for it. Take 300 for example. If that's not deserving of the word 'epic' then nothing is.


As for myself, I hate people that ruin my plans. I like to set my day straight and plan everything out. Surprises usually set me off and I go crazy.

- People who wear shirts that proclaims they're awesomeness. A very small number of people can truly be called awesome. You are not one of them.

- Girls who wear those "I <3 Nerds" shirts who obviously do not love nerds.

- Europeans and the like who think the word "American" is an insult and use it as such. Especially when they're an idiot chav to begin with.

I hate when I try to buy a brilliant movie and a mainstream store does not have it.

For instance, for the last month or so, I've been trying to buy Patton on DVD, but nobody has it. There's a great 2-disc collectors edition out there, and I hate amazon.com's shipping methods. Then again, if I would have just ordered it off of amazon.com, I would have had it by now.... Maybe I should just got order it.
