What Really Grinds Your Gears?

I never use cruise control after dark on a long drive. The last thing I (or other drivers) need is for me to fall asleep while the car barrels along at 70 to 75. Watching the speedometer and making constant adjustments gives me something to do and helps keep me alert and awake. Too many adjustments in too short a time and it's time to stop for coffee or find a Holiday Inn.

Perhaps I should edit. Whether or not a driver is using cruise control is irrelevant; variation in speed is the problem. If you and Jake can maintain a relatively constant speed manually, without constantly passing/ getting passed by the same cars, then there's no problem.

Healthy people popping up someone else's Handicap placard in their car then making a healthy gate to the door.

Battery powered shopping carts being used by "healthy" overweight people because they are too lazy to get off their *** and walk and shop.

People wearing their pajamas to shop.

Fat people wearing spandex. Uncovered.

So in short....Fat people. LOL

LOL. I wouldn't qualify as skinny by any means.

This one is fresh in my mind, and comes with the territory of my job.....but, it was bad today!!

Patient asks me what they need to get better/healthy.
I tell them.
Patient doesn't do it.
I tell them again.
Patient doesn't do it.
Patient wonders why they aren't getting the results they want.
I remind them of our previous conversations.
Patient doesn't do it.

There are way too many people out there that want to take 0 responsibility for their health, or even have any role in it at all.

Anyway, most of my patients are terrific, and I love em....just had to get that off my chest today.

No way you drive that fast, even on the interstate. Be honest, you're in the 60-65 range, lol.

I was fudging. I prefer 80 if I feel the road is clear of "Smokies." When I drove to Minneapolis back in 1978 (or was it 1979?) from Miami to move here, I got pulled over by the WI Highway Patrol for going 85. They were pissed because I'd been clocked earlier at 90 but was slowed a bit by heavier traffic. This was when the speed limit was 55 and I was driving a 1976 Honda Civic – a roller skate with a wimpy motor. Hell, I even got a $10 dollar ticket in Nevada in 1980 for going 90 in the same car. I might have been let off with a warning (the trooper was a MN native) had the dumbass guy I was traveling with not blurted out "How can you stand it? It's so flat and boring." The troopers response? "I love it here. Here's your ticket. You can pay me in cash if you'd like."

People who stop as soon as they walk into a doorway. Keep moving, idiots! Step to the side to get your bearings.

When people talk about how a mexican restaurant has good food but a mexican always says that it's not real mexican food. Just shut up

 

[NDinMich]

People who say "so much for global warming" when the temperature is unseasonably cold. Or conversely, when people say "I told you it was global warming" when the temperature is unseasonably warm.

Also, people that eat lunch before 11:00 at work.

I'm not Mexican and I say that all the time, cause its true. My Caucasian students tell me they don't care that Hacienda (literally the worst food I've ever tasted at a restaurant) isn't real Mexican food, but I still let them know they have no idea what they are missing.

A pet peeve of mine: walking past someone walking their dog or walking down a neighborhood street and they don't have the decency to look up and at the very least smile at you. Went back to L.A. recently and was quickly reminded that 90% of the people do that. After about the 5th time of me saying hello to people with nary a response, I finally just gave up. Love LA, but sometimes the people...

Women who call themselves "forces of nature" when they are just fat, loud, and obnoxious.

 

[Bogtrotter07]

Flatulence that is a force of nature . . .


Unless it is mine.

 

[In Lou I Trust]

Fat chicks who wear skin tight clothing and refer to themselves as "thick." There's a very distinct difference between thick and fat and your FUPA places you in the latter.

Maybe just women. If men had breast and were limber as a dog...... who needs'em.

Tad. Reps was not enough. YOU kill me all the time. You and your bullet. I had a friend that used to tell me all the time that if he could do what his dog could do, he would be a confirmed bachelor!

 

[Black Irish]

Women with killer bodies who dress like slobs or schoolmarms. That's just not cool.

Cars have blinkers for a reason people... freakin use them.

When someone calls turn indicators, blinkers . . .

People who say the Miami Heats.....that is not their name.

People who read slow in class....also when people are reading aloud and they're at the same part I'm reading.
