Those three are huge around here. It seems as if no one uses their blinker, and when they finally do, they leave it on for 10 miles. I've even seen people drive with their emergency flashers on. It makes me wonder if they are even paying attention.

Then you have the people who just constantly ride your bumper. I've always wanted to "break check" these people, but I don't know what would happen when we get out and exchange insurance info. What do I say? It would be awkward.

It really grinds my gears when a traffic jam is caused by one on the other side of the highway. So what, the other people crashed, doesn't mean you have to drive 10 MPH and stare and take pictures!

You simply tell them an animal ran in front of you and you stopped by force of habit. My Driver's Ed teacher actually taught us to do the "brake check" when being tailgated, unless we were being tailgated by a Mack truck then he just said speed the hell up.

They were my team forever but I didn't have a football team. I go to play ball at Notre Dame, #6 recruiting class. I am then drawn into the Notre Dame Stadium and the awesome atmosphere of college football and become a ND football fan. Now I HATE ND basketball. UNC is where my heart lies. If I had to choose one team I'd chose UNC basketball over every other. BUT, I decided to just like ND football because I went there and experienced that but I LOVE UNC basketball. That is my sports passion.
I have no problems with that. Just the bandwagon front runners that pop their mouths of during basketball season when they were nowhere to be found during football season......oh wait they were on another bandwagon.........

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

Oh yea, when someone is walking across the street and they walk as slow as humanly possible and hold up traffic. I'm not saying run across the street, but at least realize that people are waiting. At least walk at a normal rate, don't stand around in the middle of the road talking to people.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

The thing that bothers me is when people hide to protect a lead in a game like Halo. You gain nothing by winning, hiding is against the fast pased action of the game and if you are winning you are probably better. I will never understand why people do this.
