Pet peeve? People who bitch about construction traffic, and then bitch because a bridge falls in. OK, ALL hypocrites fit that bill.

Saw one of mine this morning. Petty, passive aggressive types who pace a large truck or other slow vehicle and hold up and entire roadway during rush hour.

Lane closures on the interstate that go on and on for miles and miles with no construction, then there is 100 yards of construction activity, then miles and miles of continued lane closure after with no construction.

Have fun on vacation!

My two, er three, big pet peeves:

1) Girls? Who, like, talk? In questions, like, all the time?
2) Maroons who don't know the difference between yield and merge.
3) Maroon pedestrians who think they know the law about traffic having to stop when they decide to step into a crosswalk, but don't know the laws of physics about minimum braking distances. ('Pod, you probably know the three crosswalks I'm talking about... heh)

Pet peeve?

Trout fishing when a grumpy alligator gar takes a shot at your hook, sinker, 20-feet of line and starts considering the rod, reel, your right arm, etc.

(Happened to me yesterday.)

1. “Lose” is how to spell the word that means “to misplace”. It is not spelled “loose”.

2. Do not start a story with the word, “So...”

3. There is no such word as “heighth” The word is “height” and it ends with a “t” sound, not a “th”.

4. Do not add two spaces after each sentence when composing type on the computer. That was a rule for typewriters. It does not apply to documents typed on the computer.

5. Do not use text messaging abbreviations in email such as “How R U?”, unless you want to give people the impression that you are an adolescent with an attitude.

6. The word for the electricity from the sky is spelled “lightning” not “lightening”.

7. “Asked” ends with the “D” sound and “Asks” ends with the “S” sound. Neither one ends with the “K” sound. No, I am not talking about people who pronounce it “axe”. That is another topic entirely.

Pet peeve?

The roads are filled with dehydrated idiots!!!!!

You want idiots? Just add water. Water in any form!

It could be solid, like ice, snow, hail (this is the worst).

It could be liquid, like rain, drizzle, or just puddles on the road.

It could be gaseous, like fog (idiots will NOT slow down when they cannot see).

I was driving back to Norfolk from DC Monday, running along with traffic in the fast lane (I refuse to say how fast I was going as it would violate my 5th amendment rights) when a few drops of rain hits my windshield and the traffic slows to 40 MPH immediately!!!!

DEHYDRATED IDIOTS!!!!!! JUST ADD WATER!!!!!
