What makes you mad that probably shouldn't?

[Doc Intrepid]

This is mine as well.

Interesting though. I would have thought that this would have been a more popular answer.

Naaah...this SHOULD make you mad.

The OP established it as things that make you mad that probably SHOULDN'T.

If I am ever killed in a traffic accident, I'm betting $1000 that the person that kills me will be talking on a cell phone when they hit me.

Your employer teaches its drivers to always back in to a spot if at all possible. The logic is you are more likely to see potential backing hazards when you first arrive than when you're about to leave (You sould be scanning the lot as you approach the parking spot). I agree and being a graduate of their class (left and right steering wheels) I usually back into spots, so should you. See if you can take the class.

I know it's irrational but I can't force myself to back in unless it's a spot that's easier to access by backing rather than pulling in (some end spots are like that) and there are no other spots in the lot. I will pass up a spot by the door for one much farther away so I can pull in or pull through.

I scan the parking lot for backing as well as potential personal safety hazards as I walk to my car. A boxy vehicle with a lot of blind spots? Sure, back it in. Most passenger vehicles? I don't mind waiting for you to back out--I get your spot. Waiting for you to back in--makes me crazy for no good reason. Pet peeves don't have to be rational

How will I collect?

Either that, or by some young parent reaching back to smack down Jr... who couldn't hear them cuz he was groovin' to Baby Einstein on the 9.5" headrest LCD and 5.1 SS system in the back of the Honda....

OY.

Oh, let's see...two things that piss me off (aside from not being able to find a job)...

A big one is getting behind trucks in the passing lane on highways. Nothing bad against truckers per se, but it's a hell of an inconvenience sometimes, especially when I'm approaching the mile-mark to an exit that I want.

Another big one is people who don't use turn signals...gives me this horrible urge sometimes to get out and choke them till their tongues hang out...

Thankfully, that hasn't happened. Yet.

 

[wreckchick]

On the driving thing... brakes before turn signals...

Who taught you how to drive? If you signal first then I'm aware you'll be braking, if you BRAKE first I don't know what the hell you're about to do!

Oh and the baby thing... "Can you cover my shift on <name a holiday> I have to be with my family." Umm, just because I don't have kids doesn't mean I don't have family you ignorant <BLEEP>. Ask to be scheduled off, I already have plans. (see also: sidewalk mooses with strollers)

Sat in my office from Thursday last week till today including weekends cuz of this guy. Bleh, wasn't allowed to do any work because we were waiting for the "call." I can't say more than what this article does....

- People who drive in the passing lane at slow speeds while talking on their phones.

- My future in-laws.

- Dog owners that don't pick up poop.

- Stepping into the above mentioned.

- Loud-mouth-know-it-all divers.

- Teenagers in cars with loud music.

I'll stop now.

Mo2vation....you have some children issues/phobias bro...lol.

Since we've tapped into the parking lot area....How about people that sit there and wait all freakin day for a parking spot to open up that's close to the front entrance??? blocking you as you're trying to get around them. If they had just taken the spot that was a little further out, they'd already be in the store and half way done with their shopping by now!! geeeeeeeeez!

Phobias? No.

Issues? Maybe.

It doesn't take a village.

I'm not the only one who believes this.

<making a note to not invite Ken over when in FL.. or to ensure the kids are totally extra sweet to him to leave him wonder 'dear God, why have I ever talked smack about kids with such sweet loving caring kind children and Colin and Kris's around.. it blows my 'couch monkey wigged out on pixie sticks and soda' perception.>

I LOVE the sidewalk Moose! Thats just funny, I don't care who ya are!

I'm with Dave - I clean after my kids and dogs (resturants love me, I pick up my kids messes that inevitably get made once boredom hits), why can't other people.

OH! Just last night while at the mall letting my kids run like freaks to make all the childless people mad, I observed a dirty diaper on a bench surrounded by empty soda cups. Nasty! The cups were bad enough, but the ball of diaper being showcased in trash mountain by some obviously socially inept individual who chose to breed was one of those 'this is why we don't come here' moments. Conversely it was a great learning tool of how not to be.
