    1. people being scared of passing tractor trailers.
    2. people turning on their turn signals as they slam on their breaks and turn. without warning.
    3. people leaning on my CAR.
    4. people that send the same text message over and over if you havent responded.

    ^^Lmao. I totally feel the same.


    1. I hate people who grim at my car, just because its a GXP and theirs isn't.
    2. I hate when people chew in my ear.
    3. I hate working a ridiculous amount of hours and not earning sh*t for it.

    i agree with people leaning on my car... the color i have now isnt too horrible.. but my previous two vehicles were red and you can see the lightest scratch on it and yet people with jeans feel its ok to just rub those little metal rivets all over it... aghhh

    1. Coming out of a store to find some A#$hole parked so close that I can hardly open my door, even after I take the time to park a good distance from everyone else.
    2. Even worse is finding a new ding/dent. Come on people...just because you don't give a sh*t about how your car looks doesn't mean I don't. Have some respect for other peoples property!

    turn signals are for people that havent committed to moving yet. they are just saying that they want to move over. i never use my turn signals unless im moving in a tight space so no one hits my car or to let people ahead of time that im going to be slowing down to turn soon.

    lane changes require zero signaling from me. but yeah, onto the goods:

    1) parents who dont control their kids and in turn their kids are always acting like they just smoked crack
    2) people who dont get the concept of driving in traffic (move slowly, but always moving. not start and stop)
    3) anyone who puts a straight exhaust on a n/a four banger. your car is loud and sounds like ****.
    4) people on motorcycles (harleys and crotch rockets) who always stay in a lower gear instead of shifting and making less noise.
    5) anyone who thinks its okay or constructive to sit in lawn chairs in their FRONT yard. go in the back you ****ing porch monkeys.
    6) girls that act like they cant do anything in fear of altering their beauty (breaking nails, ruining hair, etc.) [my girlfriend plays football with us, she's awesome]

    the list goes on and on, i could be here all day.

    Some of it is actually a safety thing. Loud pipes save lives. If you hear them, you notice the. Many people won't hear a bike and therefore won't see a bike.

    you can say that all you want, but the exhaust is still pretty loud if you dont have the stock pipes. there is no reason to be cruising at 6k RPM.

    and if you cant hear a harley with some pipes then youre deaf.

    I will be honest, before I got a bike it was annoying and sometimes it still is depending on the situation. If I am in an area with fairly light traffic and lots of intersections I will sometimes stay in a low gear. I have had to kick a car before because they started to change lanes right into me. Most people will look and see motorcycles but some will not and it only takes one to kill someone.


    1. I hate people who don't use blinkers.
    2. I hate people who turn their blinkers on way too early.
    3. I hate people who don't shut off their blinkers.
    4. I hate people who feel the need to tailgate me and get mad at me when they have to pass me when I am going 3 over the speed limit, not 10 like they are.
    5. I hate people who need to text all day. I text everyonce in a while but there is no need to constantly be on it all day.
    6. I hate people who come into my work and buy a 50 inch tv and expect me to hold it for them while they clean out their back seat of their pickup. USE THE BED!
    7. I hate people who don't believe me when I tell them their TV won't fit in their vehicle. 90% of the time I am right. I have done it for 3 years, I know what I am doing.
    8. I hate people in general for the most part.

    Ok. My 2cents. I have a boat in a marina. There is a rich family that thinks it is ok to play football in the parking lot. After a couple beer my balls get real big (happens to everyone) Had to explain the finer points of how I relly like my cars and not so much like you being near my rides. I think it went over well. They don't play football any more -

    People who slam their car doors into my car!!

    I was sitting in my gf's car and some bimbo girl got out of the car next to me and just flung her car door open, smacking our car in the process. She ran inside the store before I could catch her...

    Then just a couple weeks ago I saw another dumba$$ blonde girl fling her door open and smack my car!! I saw this from my dorm room so all I could do was yell out the window at her.....IT PISSES ME OFF JUST THINKING ABOUT IT

    - Tailgaters, plain and simple. Riding my a** ain't going to make me go faster, it'll make me slow down to piss you off more
    - Lack of turn signal use. It really isn't that dang hard to move your finger a few inches to use your blinker. Pure laziness when you don't use it, makes you look like a douche.
    - People who sit in the far left lane on 95 coasting at 60mph when the speed limit is 65mph.
    - Unruly kids.
    - People who can't walk an extra five feet to put a cart away, seriously lazy people annoy me the most.

    It goes on, especially work related, but I really am not feeling up for adding more

    I hate people that can't maintain a constant speed within 5 mph when not in traffic.

    Followed someone on my way home today that fluctuated between 30-45 in a 50 mph zone and not just on hills. ER!
