Riding in the back

I used to hate this one too but then read a book about traffic design and ideology (it was about as exciting as it sounds) and discovered that late mergers (it's a technical term) actually help out everybody by using more of the available road surface and cutting down on slowdowns and delays.

Also the number 1 cause of me wanting to swing my 60000lbs of trailer into their lane and slap the little beyotches off the roadway. That will improve flow be removing clutter.
 
Like Screaming_Emu, I get aggravated when people decide not to follow general rules like this. What's even more irritating is when my wife does it. 'Cos you sure as hell can't control a woman from Texas, much less one who is smarter than you and works for the Govt. And knows how to shoot.

Married up, I did. And because of my good fortune, I quietly grind my teeth when she picks up something in a store, keeps it in the cart, wanders around shopping for a while and then returns it to a totally different shelf somewhere else in the store.

I am thinking about punitively, randomly, rearranging her possessions in various places in the house.
 
You know you're low on the social strata when a Southerner can comfortably diss you! :)

Riiiiiiiiiight.....Like the people of California do much better. Ask L-16B about the time he drove with amorris311. California drivers are far worse than New Yorkers.
 
True story... When I was young, one of my first trips to New York, I was waiting in line on the New York side to enter the Holland tunnel. There was a VW in front of me, he had several opportunities to merge and took none of them. I had enough and my horn wasn't motivating him. The next opening I saw for him, I used the weight of my Cadillac to VERY forcefully move him into the merging traffic. I thought nothing of it at the time, I was under the impression that was normal there. He did merge though. :)

Northern VA perfectly embodies the "typical suburbia" that I absolutely cannot stand.

Mcmansions everywhere. Everyone drives Hummer H2s and Chevy tahoes...you know...because going to the mall is an adventure worthy of 4WD and tons of ground clearance. Nobody pays attention while they drive. Nothing but strip malls and chain restaurants. And you get to pay twice what I pay for my mortgage just to RENT a condo for the privilege of living there.

Amber laughs at me when we drive there. I'm so glad to be living out with the hillbillies and meth heads.

I have driven extensively in 46 of the 50 states.

Northern VA drivers are, in my experience, the absolute worst.

I can get even more exact. Old Ox Road, north of Dulles has the worst drivers on earth. Speed limit, 55. Most drivers do about 35, even though there is nobody in front of them. I invent new swear words every time I drive to/from work.

I used to live right off Old Ox towards Centerville. That entire area is nuts. I'm glad I wasn't a gun owner at that time. ;)

Better than Massachusetts driving.

Drive up a highway entrance ramp>Stop on ramp> Go into reverse and attempt to back up into other traffic entering the highway.

Or how about the line of cars that think a stop sign is optional and causes the main road to stop (no stop sign) because of people running the stop sign. When I finally got the nose of the vehicle in the way of one person they looked at me like I was insane for taking my right of way. :bang: Also have nearly been sideswiped several times by people cruising through left turn lanes and going straight. This seriously happens every day I'm in the state.

Terrible driving? COLUMBUS, OHIO

Nah, that is just because the highway system is poorly designed in the area. Same goes for entering Cincinnati from the KY side.
