This is where driving a manual transmission is fun. Downshift to 4th without matching revs; the car will slow without the brake lights coming on, causing the driver behind you to panic brake.

I understand that it's possible this person was some sort of emergency worker or something, although in that case he should have a blue roller on the roof- but most likely just a jagoff.
BTW, it was probably mac behind you.

Hilarious until they plow into the back of your car and you get seriously injured.

Profanity doesn't bother me although I rarely use it myself.
That said, it's Sunday afternoon at the ballpark, ton of kids including my 7 year old daughter in front of you- you seriously can't forego the f bombs for 3 hours?

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
one of my office mates is a very, very, very loud eater. He's currently eating some asian dish and somehow he's making very loud crunching sounds out of rice. I dont' get it. You almost have to TRY to be this loud when eating.

People with voicemails that go "Hello? HELLO? just kidding, I'm not here right now." Seriously, you aren't funny. FU

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
When I was room mates with my super bestie, we recorded our outgoing message in a voice we came up with for a character we created on our cross-country drive. (Think the ultimate buddy pic) The character's name was Lumpkin, which we found out a few months later was the name of a tight end at OSU, and he collected locks. Roomie had one voicemail box, I had another. Anyway, the message went *BEEEEEP* "Hello, how are you today? Press one or two. Thank you!" *BEEEEEP*shafnutz05 wrote:People with voicemails that go "Hello? HELLO? just kidding, I'm not here right now." Seriously, you aren't funny. FU
We were legit in tears after we recorded it, and it still makes us laugh today. Which pretty much makes us idiots.

Yesterday I had a Hunt's Snack Pack pudding for the first time in years. Is it just me or is it harder to rip off the lid?

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
Dude, I get that sometimes there's a full house at the urinals at work and sometimes you have to use a stall to take a leak. However, if you would be so kind as to either sit down or put the seat up, it would be just grand. You can even use your foot or a square of TP so's your hand doesn't get dirty and you have to wash it.
Quit sprinkling the seat!

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
When I am in a stand up to pee situation in a stall, unless I am in a dingy bar, gas station, etc, I always grab a handful of TP and just do a quick ring around the seat. It's just courteous.

If there are special motorcycle spots at work do not park your f'ing motorcycle in spots other than those unless they are full.
