    Why do people continually use the left (fast) lane, invariably with their cell phones perched on their ear, and go less than the speed limit?

    I mean, this is probably the biggest peeve of most people I know. You'd think those folks would have received the memo by now.

    Apparently not.

    What pisses me off more than that, is going 10-15 miles an hour over the speed limit in the middle lane, and having guys in big trucks riding your ass and motioning you to get over when they can go around you if they would like to

    Man, if that's what drives you crazy in Atlanta, Portland is even worse. In fact, I've never seen a worse city where I have to pass on the right--and I've driven in New Zealand!

    Laos and Thailand are 10x worse than New Zealand. In Laos you overtake traffic into the oncoming cars.

    I'm sure they are. I brought up NZ because that was the country where I've done the most driving on the left side of the road--ergo, where you pass on the right as a matter of course.

    Portland's mayor gives a different kind of a dirty look to teenage boys.

    Why is it, when I do a home plumbing project, it's no less than two trips to Home Depot, takes three times as long, and nearly twice the expense than I'd planned?

    What pisses me off are people who are too damn sensitive. Like the people in W. Va who want Barbie banned, or the people who bitched because Obama had a beer at a basketball game, or the dumbass people in the Iowa house who think that children sneaking a peek at a playboy is somehow child abuse. Good lord, get a life.

    Agreed. If you've ever driven on the Sunset Highway, I-5 between L.O./Tualatin and Portland, or I-84 between I-5 and I-205, you'll see these morons.

    Here's a pretty funny link, if you haven't seen it.

    Why the hell do I need to leran this chemistry and math crap. I will never use it.. never. I'm going to be a zookeeper, that means I need to know how to clean, prepare food, train, and talk to people. Even zookeepers I talk to said the only thing that will prepare you for this job is internships, so why the hell do I need to know this useless crap.

    I hate when portland police just flip on their lights to go through a stop light in no hurry.

    I hate it when police make turns and/or change lanes without using turn signals, speed, and the like when you know they're not on a chase or other police-related business.

    How about this one ABM.

    Sure this guy spent a little too much time recording this, creating a blog or story since cops put their lives on the line but, they should still abide by restaurant property guidelines.
    Or, you drive past a crime scene or accident and portland PD (or yours in Georgia) leave their engine cars running using up tons of gas for no purpose. Why don't they turn off these cars? Its not like they are going anywhere. Waste of tax dollars going to car fuel being burned up for no reason.

    I'm ranting about myself. Why the fuck do I always put off doing papers until the very last minute? So far I've always gotten good grades, but one of these days I'm going to royally fuck myself over and get a deserved F. So fuck me. Why the fuck couldn't I have at least written a couple fucking pages last weekend? Why do I keep coming here instead of just working straight through and getting this thing finished so I can get some sleep so that I can enjoy tonight's game instead of falling asleep halfway through? Lazy motherfucker.
