Reply:One of my gripes is when driving on the Interstate highway and trying to maintain 75MPH with the cruise control on and being behind another vehicle also doing 75. When the other driver starts to pass an 18 wheeler(doing 70 MPH), they slow to 70.25 MPH until they are past the truck, then speed back up to 75 again. If your driving 75, and go to pass a big truck, stay at that speed and get on past, don't SLOW DOWN. That puts you driving next to the big rig for much longer, and increases the chance of something bad happening. I guess these people have never seen what can happen when one of those big truck tires blows out. I cant figure out WHY they do this. Does anyone do this or know why they do this? I have had times that when the other driver sped back up and got in the right lane again and I speed up to put them in the rear view mirror, they speed up also to keep me from passing them. Then the next line of trucks they get to, they slow down again while passing, only to speed up again after the pass. This chaps my a$$ when they do this when I have somewhere to go and don't have their same schedule.

Reply:You know what kinds my gears...People who park in a handicapped spot and look to be about 25 years old with no problems that jog into the store.   Same goes for the young kids who ride around stores in thehandicap carts because they think it's fun.   They need to learn what being handicapped is all about,  it ain't fun.  I had to use a cane to walk in my 20's and it was not fun at all.   And I refused to used the stupid carts. Another thing that grinds my gears...People that abuse or mistreat their pets.  If you can't be nice to animals then you don't deserve to have any.  I saw a women jerking her little dog around by its leash including pulling it off the ground, I offered to strangle her with that leash if she did it again.Alright...  rant over for now.Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Reply:I HATE.......without any degree of remorse those price tags that say "special offer this week end only $99.99"....or any other price tag that stops short of the next dollar by one cent.In OZ we stopped using 1 and 2 cent coins a few years ago, and the lowest coin is 5 cents, and the bastards also stop short with prices like $19,999.95 for a bleeding new car, but you pay a lot more just to get it on the road.I religiously stand my ground and wait when a shop keeper has to give me 5 cents change when the price is sort by that magic 5 cents......just to be a bloody arsehole.Ian.

Reply:Once again to the breach.......I hate those shopping trolleys that you have to stick a $2 coin in to use it and when you're done you can't find a trolley bay near you to get the money back, so you have to push the trolley all the way back to the store.....in the rain too.....it used to be 20 cents and the kids would beat each other to take your trolley back to get the 20 cents....and above all else I hate shopping trolleys that get damaged wheels and steer the damm thing into the side of the isles while you wrestle with it. Above all else, and without any exception I DETEST WITH A PATHOLOGICAL HATRED all the TV shows that keep sumarising the content of the previous ten minutes that preceded the 5 minute long commercial break......the Mythbusters have this to a fine art and can make a ten minute show last for an hour before they break or prove a myth.Ian.
