We have a couple of stations out here that buy the same feed. Flip the station, same songs on both.

I counter this by doing my grocery shopping at 9am.

Americans are too lazy to wake up before 11/12, so I get first dibs on all the good stuff.

just took a 3 hrs trip from va to nj and back this wkd for eminem concert. each trip turned out to be about 5-6 hrs cuz of fucking people stopping/slowing down for no reason. people stop in the middle of the hwy like there is an invisible stop sign. n i hate fuckers that wait in line at the toll and they dont get money ready until they actually pull up. FFFFFFFFF

This enrages me to the point i want to box said asshole in so he runs off the road... [but he would hit me instead and then somehow it would be my fault]

I merge-block all the time now. I pick my spot (in the merge here circle) but don't move fully to the left until the last moment. People in lane 2 see I'm not trying to gun up and get extra spots, so they allow my merge to occur at that final moment.

I do that now too. Straddle both lanes until the left lane ends so no one gets by, but probably not the best solution.. There's always the one idiot though.

Can't stand people who use their brakes all the time on the highway if there is no need to use them- I work 20 miles away from my house and I rarely use the brakes on the highway. So annoying.

When your in your car at a red light and there's that small enough gap for a car to attempt to squeeze between you and the curb and they proceed to give you a stress test as they slowly inch by and you can't really do anything but watch through your rear view mirror.

On the other side of the coin are those drivers who are going straight or left and still insist on being over to the right, thereby blocking anyone wanting to go right. Happens here all the time. The driver in front of me will have a left turn signal on and be near the center of the roadway, but just as they pull up to the stop sign or light they move over to the right. I don't get it. If you're turning left, your tires should be inches from the centerline.

Slow people in the HOV lane. I don't run into these much these days because of the time I get into work there's no HOV restrictions. But years ago when I had an hour commute OMG it drove me nuts. I use to carpool with a friend of mine and these motherfuckers would be driving in the HOV lane at the same pace as the none HOV lane.

One time there was this cunt in front of us on the HOV lane going slow as shit and she didn't even have a passenger. So not only are you a pita but you are so dumb you are risking a $300 ticket to drive at basically the same speed as the REST of traffic! I remember this one fondly as after a while a state trooper pulled up behind me and my friend, we couldn't pass up this once in a lifetime opportunity. We moved over to the right and let mr state trooper get right behind that bitch and light her up!

NEFARIOUS · 08-19-2014, 08:42 PM

^Try PAYING TOLL expecting to go faster, but NOPE... You're stuck behind an asshat hogging up the lane doing almost as slow if not slower than the rest of traffic... At anywhere from $1 to $5 per trip!

It's not rocket science, the Lincoln Tunnel goes 12 lanes into 3, Holland is 9 into 2. People are neither nice, nor confused.

I can't stand people who try to butt in over a solid white line before the circle drawn here, and from a complete stop. They must be from the West coast originally....

I love when people does that just to hit a red light

People that can point out multiple problems all the time, but can't seem to suggest any solutions.

1. Tell me the problem.
2. Tell me the solution.

If #2 does not occur after #1, make your face beat up your hand.

DemolitionJim · 08-20-2014, 12:39 PM

getting paid to do someone else's work because they are slow, while not getting paid more because it's "part of a team and what is supposed to happen".

this is the bullshit. I do not get paid to do the work of two people, but I do the work of two people on a consistent basis.

2011CrazE89 · 08-20-2014, 12:56 PM

Having your CFO call you every 5 minutes. And requesting 3 hour projects in 20 minutes. How the hell can I get anything done if you have me on the phone all Fn day!

My job, in a nutshell, is providing solutions. So I always get a description of a problem and then silence as the person waits for a solution. My inbox is full of problem descriptions. Just another day at the office.
