@Glassman Not sure what isle you were on, but if it was the "feminine" products isle, better to just pass on the left and move on!!!

Bluetooth talkers.
Liers
Thieves
Those stupid people that drive 15 mph under the speed limit on single lane roads to only speed up when you get to a place to pass them..then slow back down..
People that think there preferences are more important than my rights.
Rude people.

And you live in allergy central! If I made my daughter go to the bathroom to blow her nose at a restaurant we'd never leave....and since moving here I seem to be developing allergies....

@Julian Do you have UV lights in your HVAC air handlers?

Nothing to pollen but a lot of people are very sensitive to mold spores. It's worth the $400 per unit. You can find them online for self install. I have the blue tube fresh-aire line.

  1. People who book conference calls and don't put spaces or dashes in the participant code to break it up.
  2. Jet skiers who follow you while you have tubers/skiers etc out and come too close jumping your wake
  3. Jet skiers who come up from behind you and cut in front of you (within 50') while you are doing 30mph! This happened on Saturday--I laid on the horn, they just kept crossing! (had a passenger on board too....if she'd fallen off....would have been bad)

Inviting friends to go boating @ 10:00 and they say "ok, we'll be there around 2:00. I'll just call you to come pick us up." ???? I have determined that the best friends to go boating with are the ones with boats!

On my move from KS to FL I did this 3 times at gas stations... I was pulling my camper and pulled beside the vehicles and turned my truck in front of theirs so I could fill up.
Can't really tell but I'm standing next to my truck getting gas when I took this photo. This guy realized he should have moved and patiently waited for me to fill up and move to a parking spot. Another car I did this to was a little Honda Fit, that guy was pissed! Got in his car and drove between the pumps pushing the trash can out of his way with the side of his car. The third one I got the camper so close to their car the passengers had to wait till I moved before they could get in.image.jpg

This happened to me on the way back from Shelbyville. Had to wait to get to the diesel pump, old lady filling up, then a guy in a truck pulled in behind her and took the diesel pump, so I waited. He finished (paid at pump) and goes inside for 10 minutes!!!!!!!!! Comes out with a big bag of chips in his hands and takes his sweet time.....

Peeve - People who pull to ramp to launch or take out and are not prepared. I understand if the person is new, that was me once, but I hate making people wait. Don't put your plug in (unless you forgot), don't put your Bimini up and don't fill your cooler on the ramp. Just sayin...... :mad:

People that pass a car waiting to turn left on the shoulder.
People that put both bags in the overhead.
People that piss all over the toilet in the stall rather than standing in line for the urinals.
I agree with 2nd and 3rd but passing and/or driving on the shoulder of a 2 lane road in Texas is legal and preferred and some situations, one of them to pass a car turning left. The shoulder wouldnt be the dirt part but paved like the rest of the road albeit perhaps narrower than a lane.

§545.058 - DRIVING ON IMPROVED SHOULDER
(a) An operator may drive on an improved shoulder to the right of the main traveled portion of a roadway if that operation is necessary and may be done safely, but only:
(1) to stop, stand, or park;
(2) to accelerate before entering the main traveled lane of traffic;
(3) to decelerate before making a right turn;
(4) to pass another vehicle that is slowing or stopped on the main traveled portion of the highway, disabled, or preparing to make a left turn;
(5) to allow another vehicle traveling faster to pass;
(6) as permitted or required by an official traffic control device; or
(7) to avoid a collision

1. The "other" site.
2. Being kicked off the other site for trying to supply a member with information that may better allow him to sell his boat.
3. Having to pussy foot around trying to give a fellow jetboater direction to the promised land.... Jetboaters.net

That's what annoys me today!
