i have not read the whole thread but if KarmaSlider hasn't stated what drives him nuts most is the mis-use of your and you're then this whole thread is meaningless and the world is confused.

I correct people on SportsHoopla for that now... lol. So yes, it does irritate me now.

Just witnessed a new one today.

Car pulls in to a parking lot with a single entrance from the road. Stops one car length from the road, blocking the entrance to let out the passenger (who presumably works there). She took her ol' retarded time. Double whammy.


Also, people who don't pull up far enough in the drive through (even though there is plenty of space in front of them) and keep me from getting to the speaker or window.

People that don't know who has the right of way at a stop sign, 4 way or 2 way. There is an intersection here where a secondary road intersects a main thoroughfare (secondary highway). The stop signs are on the secondary road, of course, but it never fails that I will pull up to the stop and there will be a car sitting across from me at the other stop and they have their left turn signal on. When traffic clears, I proceed STRAIGHT across while the shithead across from me pulls out to make his/her left. They will then throw their hands up or give me the finger because they think they have the right of way because they were there first. FUCK YOU!!

I totaled my car because of this. I knew the rule, the other guy didn't, and I swerved to get out of the way, then another car hit me. I got blamed for the accident, of course, because I was 17, and the guy who actually caused the accident drove away before anyone got there.

Remember, the rules are different based on 4-way vs. 2-way stops. The right-of-way for who was there first only applies to 4-way stops, not 2-way stops.

I prefer roundabouts (aka traffic circles) - Although the double roundabouts can be tricky.

I've seen just as many bonehead roundabout maneuvers as I have at 4-way stops. (Ooh, there is a car approaching the roundabout so I'm going to stop in the middle of the circle in case he doesn't stop and hits me.)

I went through that crazy rotary around the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. That thing had to be like 8-12 lanes. It's been quite some time since that trip, I kind of forgot the amount of lanes, but it was nuts. I hope I am not exaggarating.

edit: I exaggerated, lol, it has 6 lanes. I swear it seems like way more when you come up to it and don't expect a rotary.

Yup, 2-way stop. I was going straight, he was turning left. I was there first anyway, so he couldn't have even used that argument. I'm not even sure he ever stopped at the stop sign.

Also, people who talk loudly on the quiet floor of the library. Which is happening now. I can't even see them, but I can hear them. :tsk:
