The pet peeves thread

Harley Davidson motorcycles are a true engineering marvel. No other vehicle can turn gasoline into noise and vibration as efficiently as they do.

…Let me add to this. Driving from Richmond to Baltimore. Nothing else to add, just that corridor sucks. I’ve taken 3 different routes from Richmond to Baltimore, and they’re all bad. You get all of the crappy drivers: so slow as to be dangerous, so fast as to be dangerous, congestion (pick a reason, it’s valid), construction, traffic volume, lack of turn signals.A special one from last night, the ■■■■■■■ who was driving too fast for conditions and tried to thread the needle between us, and a car in the next lane. I’m very glad our brakes worked well, or things could have been considerably worse than everyone’s BP going through the roof, and our dogs getting thrown to the floor of the car. How this ■■■■■■■ didn’t hit either the car next to us or us is beyond my comprehension.

Last evening, driving north on 13th East a care was literally gunning it and squeezing between cars i.e “Brickyard 500” I mean inches off the rear bumper. Now the speed limit is 35 MPH. Well, at least 5 or 6 cars had to panic break because this ■■■■■■■ was suddenly injecting himself in between a normal safe distance. It’s about a 2 mile strip and the car probably shaved a total of 20 seconds total. WTF!!
I simply can’t imagine what kind of personality disorder incites someone to drive so recklessly.
I sometimes fantasize about the joy of a mounted grenade launcher for people like this.

People who insist on cutting though neighborhoods at 50+ miles an hour to shave maybe 20 seconds from a known traffic light. We have a ton of kids in our neighbourhood. I worry someone will be grievously injured some day. WTF!!!

Now doing that would really tie up traffic.
