Things that annoy you but shouldn't

[The AD]

I was behind a car today that had its wipers on when it was bone dry. No rain, no mist, dry roads. I just about lost it.

If wipers on in dry weather gets you that worked up I hate to think how you deal with people who leave their turn signals on.

Actually not as much. You can forget your turn signal is on, so I'll give them some leeway. I don't know how you can't notice your wipers are on on a dry windshield.

I read the AD's response as a PTSD symptom to the holiday stress.
Seek help AD, you are not alone!

Watching their phone?

You'd have to notice them, they were probably broken somehow and wouldn't go off.

That reminds me. The turn signal beeper has gotten too damn quiet and the turn signal light hides behind the steering wheel when I'm comfortable. Really annoys me.

Check your hearing aid?

[wooley12]

Probably should get one.

The one in my f150 is loud AF. I should see if you can change that in forscan.

Fact is, where I live no one pays attention to my turn signal when I use it to signal a turn anyway. And 90% of the drivers on the road never signal. Turn signals are getting to be as useful as teats on a bull.

[m2711c]

mmmmm.....bull teats.

Ha ha. Some kind of minivan I think.

I picked up some LED bulbs for my turn signals recently, and hot damn, people sure pay attention to my turn signals now. They're staggeringly bright -- they light up the faces of the people in the car behind me through my rearview mirror when they're on. Stellar upgrade. Even if your face is buried in your phone, these things are going to get your attention.

So YOU"RE the guy who makes my view at night look like an out of focus warp speed scene in a Star Trek movie through my cataracts. Thanks and good luck. Keep your air bag on.

FWIW, I've been told at a stop light that "I saw your signal but it is MY lane you wanted to merge into". I was told by a local that it's been a PNW thing since the 60's.

Unlikely, since I only upgraded my rear turn signals to those super bright bulbs. Fronts and all of my headlight bulbs are stock, because I know how obnoxious that is.

I'm annoyed with myself because I'm having some major anxiety about a hut trip I leave for at the ass crack of dawn tomorrow. It should be a blast, and the antithesis of annoying, but the risk exposure is rubbing me the wrong way right now.

They let people buy lanes where you live? That's cool. Wish we had that.

Interested. What do they go for?

[wooley12]

Nada. First come, first served.

[old goat]

we do have adopt a highway, but I think all that gets you is a chance to pick up the trash.

Or repaint the lane lines like Kramer did on Seinfeld...

I have a couple local real estate agents who mail out notepads a couple times a year with their info on them. Good marketing idea. One of them got really smart and pre-drew a bunch of lame doodles on his face with the caption "beat ya to it!" It shouldn't, but that annoyed me.

Thank you for that, one moment while I pounce onto your account.
