Things that get on my nerves..
Posted Thursday, February 26th 2009
Cyclists that insist on driving on the street even though there’s a cycle lane. I just don’t understand this.
On boulevards which separate the two directions with about 2 meters of grassy area and a fence in the middle.. People that will cross one lane (direction) and then walk in the middle, in mud/water/grass until they reach a gap in the fence to cross.
People that not only take my parking space in front of my house when I’m not at home, but also park in front of the damn driveway gate so I can’t put my car in the driveway. NOT what I want to come home to after a day at the office.
Not really a pet peeve, but I really lose it when someone irks me about my stuttering.
I hate it when people are late. I can be on time. So can you. Being late is a sign of disrespect. I don’t care if it’s “your one fault”, “you can’t help it”, or anything else. If I can be out the door an hour early just to be there on time (if not 10 minutes early), so can you. No other way around it.
I definitely agree on the thing about people that are too easily offended. Grow a pair and get a life. Exactly the same about overzealous political correctness. Gets on my nerves.
Littering.
General lack of manners.
“Street Racers” that only want to “race” against cars that are obviously, obviously slower. Last night a douchebag in a brown-gold Audi A8 wanted to race my Leon Diseasel. He was faster, obviously, but decided to drive 20km/h so that I’d try and overtake and he’d accelerate. He did it once. I slowed down behind him, turned on my high-beams (Osram Nightbreakers ftw) and foglights and stuck behind him for a few minutes. He fucked off eventually.
Tightwads. During my postgraduate studies I had a flatmate that was incredibly tight. She put on those sticky plastic tower hangers in the bathroom to hang her towels. When it was time to leave, she actually unstuck them and took them with her. Also, it was crucial that the phone bill was 69.90 euros, and not 70, as I had told her. *facepalm*
People that do not have the courtesy to apologize when they’ve fucked something up. Own up to your shit.
People, that on a traffic light will wait for the light to actually turn green before they even attempt to get the car in gear. Especially annoying with older cars that have wonky gearboxes and it takes a few attempts to get first. Your pathetic carelessness just wasted 10 of the 20 seconds that the light is green.
People that have their indicators on while being IN THE LANE to turn left. Yes, I know you’re turning left. Now you’re just blinding me and your stupid ass indicator will be flashing in my head for the next 20 minutes.
People that will keep their foot on the brake pedal on the intersection. If the thing is on a slope, use your handbrake. Don’t blind me in the back. Especially annoying with newer cars that have LED taillamps and are especially bright.
People that don’t use indicators when changing lanes. Yes, I’m psychic. I know exactly when you want to turn left.
People that brake for rainbows. W00t, everyone loves being rear-ended.
People with LEDs in the windscreen washers. Awesome.
Ooh ooh, forgot one! People that have misaligned headlamps. Seriously, if you can’t do it yourself, take it to a service garage, they’ll probably do it for free. And you won’t blind people.
Dear god, I’m on a roll..
But otherwise, I’m a happy motherfucker.
