How can you not list people who stand up and/or move down the row at a Cyclone game while a play is going on?
You don't think you are being self righteous? Sometimes there are reasons for going faster than you. I don't go over 9 over ever, unless I have to. And I never hang out in the left lane because it's not right. But I have to pass people on the right, which IS illegal, because of dicks that think they can dictate their right to be where they want.
Isn't it also illegal to go above the speed limit?
More driving peeves....
People who come up to a stop sign at approximately the same time as you, and so just slide through on one of those "California" stops. Really? You didn't have an extra 10 seconds?
People who sneak through at a 4-way stop when the person in front of them goes. I want to ram these folks.
People who do signal, but then drive for 13 blocks before actually turning.
All-time worst peeve, for me: Texters. They pi$$ me off. If I can, I'll veer at them and honk my horn.....the look of utter terror on their face is so worth it. And most of the time I get flipped off.
Yeah. I'm the butthead.
I don't think driving is intrinsically difficult, but I guess I could be wrong.......

Yes, 4-way stops. No one seems to know the rules. First one to stop goes. If you stop at the same time, the one to the right goes. Easy. Previously, I would rush to stop so I could get in and out quickly, but the sight of me rushing to the stop sign paralyzes some Iowa drivers, so they just sit there, even though they were clearly there first. Or someone on the right waves me on just because they are so darn Iowa nice. Just follow the rules. Now, I try to pull up more slowly and make sure that I stop after someone else does, but they still wait. Drives me nuts.
P.S. Maybe the problem is my vehicle.
The lack of 4 way stop knowledge astonishes me. So many people wave me on.
A couple weeks ago I was at an intersection to cross traffic in Dsm. I was at a stop sign, as well as across the street someone pulled up to the stop sign. We both proceeded to wait for a girl who pulls into the turn lane (has the right away to turn) with no oncoming traffic, and waves us both on. I'm like, wtf??? I pointed at her and said she had the right away. The 1 across didn't wait, left. I was like wowwwwww, someone doesn't understand the basics of driving. It is scary how some of these people end up with licenses.
I LOL'd at this, I had a mental picture of you actually seeing this happen and confronting the perp with that line. If I saw that happen at Hy-Vee, I'd lose it.
The 4-way stop problem goes to another level when you have 2 or 3 other people all being "Iowa Nice" and indecisive. I'm waiting for the day when all 2 or 3 of them finally surge forward at the same time and crash into each other because they aren't decisive enough to put on the brakes once they finally move.
No, don’t believe I’m being self righteous in this situation. I didn’t say I park in the left lane and stay there. If I’m there and some jerk flys up on me and tailgates me, I’m under no legal or moral obligation to move over.
And it’s not illegal to pass another car from the right lane.
I can't believe it took 5 pages for this to show up. Well done.
Not that I disagree with you, but how far do airplane seats recline? About an inch and a half? Of course, there's so little room it does make a difference, I guess.
I hate when there are three lanes.
1 .Right turn only
2. Straight
3. Left turn only.
There will be a long line to go straight waiting at a light and some jerk drives all the way to the front in the right turn only lane and then wants you to let them in to go straight.
Of course if you don't they get angry as if you're the jerk.
Also people in the left turn lane with their turn signal on and when they get the green arrow they slowly crawl into the intersection as if they are having second thoughts about whether they actually want to turn left.

When you only have a quarter inch between your knees and the seat in front of you that bit of recline is a mother ******
Yeah and the guy just said he thinks it is okay to hang out in the left lane because he is going 10 over so he is speeding too.
My wife worked transport for years and she'd tell me a bunch of stories about how dumb drivers are and their lack of awareness for ambulances on the interstates. Oh don't worry, just a passing ambulance with a dying baby inside trying to get around you. People just don't get over.
- car owners who put their registration stickers all over their license plates instead of the correct spot
- people who can't carry on a conversation without constantly using swear words

I didn't say those words, but I did confront someone with some passive aggressiveness once. I saw a lady put a carton of milk next to some bread and walk off. I grabbed it off the shelf and followed her to the checkout line. I waited until she started unloading stuff on the conveyor belt and sorta loudly said "Here you go, maam. I think you accidentally left this over by bread" and then set the milk down by the rest of her crap.
The lady ended up buying the milk.
