People that use the center turn lane of a road as an on-ramp because they can't wait until traffic stops from both directions to pull out from a driveway.
People that have to order food for the whole office (on seperate orders of course) in the drive through line at McD's or other fast food joint.
People that drive with their dogs in their laps.

Quote: People driving without snow tires. (kind of a location specific thing)
I drove in Detroit for many years w/o snow tires, and pushed a whole bunch of people back onto the traveled portion of the road.. IN all those years I only got stuck one time.. (The rear U-Joint came loose and dropped the drive shaft on me.. After that I was stuck)
Of course, though I did not have SNOW tires.. I did have good agressive "All Weather" tires,, Usually kelly Navigator 800's.. These tires make even snow tires look mild in some cases.
True story. Jeep stuck in the ditch,, People trying to get it out, I stopped to pitch in,,, Finally I notice a lot of pavement showing next to/near the FRONT tires (Rear in the ditch) figure if they turn the wheels one way, back up a foot or so, then turn them the other way in 4WD, it will walk itself out.. Men look at me like I've grown antlers.. Woman reaches in and with one hand pulls the driver out and dumps him in the snow bank, Does as I suggested... Right down to the "Walk it out on it's own" part. And on the road again.

People who think my right turn signal is telling them to pass on the right.

I've done this before on a rare occasion. I generally won't do it until I've waited at least 5 minutes for a break in traffic. Most of the time if traffic is that bad I'll go right and then find a place to turn left to turn turn around.
BTW, if you pull up behind me and then honk because I'm not risking my life to pull into traffic you'll be waiting a REALLY long time. I'll make sure the road is really, really clear before I finally go.
A car horn is an emergency signaling device, not a "move idiot you're too slow" signaling device. I don't believe I have ever used the horn on my current vehicle. I think I used the horn on my previous vehicle once when I guy was about to back into me.
Wow yall are a bunch of grumpy old campers. Ok, here is mine-
My wifes crockpot. We both work 40+ hours a week, and at least two or three times a week she uses this thing. Most of the time its chicken, but sometimes pork or beef. The chicken is awful! You would think that it would be nice and juciy, but when you bite it, its dry and nasty. Pork is the same way. But the beef, if she puts potatoes and onions and carrots well now thats pretty good.
And when we cook pinto beans in it, its good.
I understand that it helps her, she can come home and dinner is ready. She normally gets home before I do, otherwise I would cook.
Last year her old crockpot died from some mysterious cause, and I'm thinking its about time for this one to die too.
I havent said anything to her yet, I just keep my mouth shut and eat the stuff and tell her I wasnt really hungry, but I dont know how much longer I can take it!!!!!
In some state going into the center lane from a side street or a driveway IS legal and is done normally. Some left turn lanes are marked with broken lines to indicate it is legal to do that. Nevada says is is not but CA drivers do it still because in CA it is legal. Even people who are not from CA do it here.

Here in snow country we're just coming off our winter driving season. How about folks who've driven the same road for 10-20-30 years but when it snows one inch and covers the painted lines they can't figure out which side of the road they're on. On a five lane road!!! Or can' go over 15 mph because it snowed! Driving is about moving you know! How about the blue tooth folks? they're all like special brain surgeons that MUST be in touch continuously. Then when you hear them they're like "You want the soft taco shells or the hard"?... I'm sooo important. Oh, and in Mich. using the left turn lane for a moving merge lane is illegal.

you need to come clean on this......just keep in mind that she's cooking for you and trying her best when you tell her. I wouldn't tell her on a night she has it planned or directly after eating it. Wait until there's a moment you can slip it in such as if you're talking about something else you both don't like or she doesn't like and then just tell her "it's not your favorite". No reason to give her the reasons why....just tell her you don't prefer it.
