Question The Pet Peeves!

Does any one else have Pet peeves when it comes to driving or in your car, little things that happen occasionally that eat you up inside that make you want to go postal on everyone on the road!? i have a couple and have invented the solutions to those problems that work quite well, anybody else feel free to join in.
mine are:

PEEVE I: Your driving nice and fast on a highway passing cars and enjoying yourself, then all of the sudden some DOUCHE BAG going the limit pulls up beside another slow ass, so that they are perfectly beside each other and both lanes are blocked off and all you have to do is wait for one of them to turn off before you can resume light speed.
SOLUTION: If your in the fast lane (left) turn on your right signal and honk your horn every five seconds, odds are its some oldie or goof, so you dont need to worry about offending anyone.

PEEVE II: Your passenger has an arm or a leg in the way when you are shifting so everytime you shift you hit them slightly, so they akwardly move there arm\leg outa the way, then a minute later put it right back
SOLUTION: purposly shift in to forth and NAIL their arm with your elbow, then shift into fifth and nail their leg with a fist. usually extends the time from a minute to five or ten(depending how hard you cream em) and relieves alot of stress.

I think my biggest pet peeve is more of an obsessive compulsive thing, but any who. I have to have even numbers. An example is the radio in my Jeep, the volume is indicated in numbers, so I have to have it on 10, 15, 20, 25, etc. I do it in my husband truck also cuz his radio is the same (numbers). If Kev turns the radio up & the display shows 18, I have to put in on 20. It is something that absolutly drives me crazy. I also do the same thing with the cruise control in the car & the temp thermostat in the the house. I like nice even numbers!

To peeve #2, more times than not a quick punch to the forehead has the desired result as well.

I do the same thing (15 is an odd number by the way). In my case if it isn't divisible by 2 I get really weirded out and will have to move it over to the next number though for some reason I don't have an issue with 5 or 1. On the stock stereo there are notches on screen that show volume level. the box has to be the highest or lowest dot for each notch or I will chnge it quick. If I roll down my windows they have to be 10, 25, 50, 75 or 100 percent rolled down and oh yes I check. My sun roof is either closed in the upright position or completely open as well.

My biggest pet peeve is when u are behind someone and they take forever to turn. You know, they slow way down on the road and take thier good ole time turning in. I hate that.

i heard about that. must be a crazy stupid place to own a car. Try to do something stupid like that here in phoenix and there normally is a guy in a huge truck with huge wheels that is going to get pissed and block the road. I see that happen all the time in traffic. Honda drives up fast on the shoulder passing people monster truck sees him coming up and the monster truck will get on the should and hold the car back thats just one of many examples

my absolute biggest pet peave is when people from out of state (especially new yorkers, no offense) drive the speed limit in the left lane, not passing anyone, and no one is in the lane to the right... or when someone gets on the highway, (again new yorkers are notorious for this) cuts alllll the way across to the left lane for NO reason, and proceeds to hold up traffic... it's not our fault that you can't drive over 15 mph in your damn city, don't take it out on us... oooohhhh.... really gets me going... last time someone did that i cut around them, went in front, and damn near stopped on route 287 in the left lane... but once someone else was coming i sped back up...

Louisiana drivers do the same thing. They drive under the speed limit in the left lane. I live 20 minutes from state line. We go over to Louisiana quite often to go shopping or out to eat, or to go for booze (I live in a dry county). None the less we always have to pass in the right lane. You can get behind them, tailgate, blink your headlights, honk the horn, and even make hand gesters....... They just stay in the left lane.
