Retard Chariots/Texas Wheelchairs/OHV's whatever the fuck they are. I'd love to see each and every one of those damn things impaled on pungee sticks and burning in a pit.

Building on this: people that jabber endlessly when they're at restaurants instead of eating so that when everyone else is done and ready to go they're only part way through their meal, so everyone ends up waiting on the diarrhea-mouth to stop talking for just a moment and finish their fucking meal so that we can all get the hell out of there...that annoys me.

Well to be fair it's a pretty big bridge and it's 100 years old, but yeah, 3.5 years??? So that means it'll take five, wtf?

255m?.... Come on over to my neck of the woods ... 5.5 B to replace the Tappan Zee bridge with almost the same bridge, the new one will have no mass transit but will have a Bus lane so that the busses can have their own lane of traffic to sit in. Claiming it will take a little more than 5 years to build. As an added bonus, the estimated toll to cross is $14.00.

People that "mail it in", especially when the quality of your work is directly connected to the quality of their work.

People that think a pound of overground, dark as shit French roast gives them the biggest kick in the pants in the morning, yet have to put 8 spoons of sugar and cream in it to make it palatable.
I was never a coffee snob until I worked at opentable a couple years ago. Two dudes sent out a memo saying that there needed to be uniformity in the office coffee, with a tutorial video, and basically said that if you weren't willing to do it this way, just to come and get them. Some people saw it as off putting, but a couple weeks later every person in the office was grateful.
People that eat the heel of a loaf of bread with 95% of the loaf left to go.

My crimefighting neighbor that finds it his province to mow down all the tall grass near the stream through my backyard on a nice, lazy Sunday afternoon when we are watching some MotoGP.
In the same vein, the same neighbor whose kids are up and outside at 7am on the weekend, yelling screaming and often crying.

firstly, I don't stop by here to engage in a pissing contest. If Delaware is your place to be, sorry if I offended you but I am lucky enough to travel most of the country for business and just was passing my opinion based on my travel experience.
And yes, I have at one point or another visited all of the Delaware coast. Lewes is nice but there is zero going on there. Rehoboth... I flew in Ms Tennessee while we were dating and stayed at an ocean front hotel there. Nice town to weekend in with a chick. Little shops, restaurants, shopping . She had a nice time but as a single guy... it's primarily gay so, not my choice. Dewey... essentially a two bar town where dressing up means a clean wife beater. Heading south, there is miles of absolutely nothing till you hit Bethany Beach which is still essentially nothing. From there a State park then Maryland.
I'm first to admit I hate the beach, boats and the whole coastal thing. If I do any kind of anything around water, I will hit Miami/Lauderdale/Palm for a long weekend only because it's more city like and not beach like. Even then, 3 days and I'm good for the year. Sometimes even 2 or three years.
Anyway sorry if I insulted your place to beach guys I am sure if you are a beach person it's great. i still fly myself out of there at my own expense if I have to be there over a weekend.

Ah. that makes sense. Nothing wrong with our tap water around here, I rarely buy the bottled stuff.
I'm sure it's been covered - but people who don't know how/won't let people merge drive me nuts....Some will fall in love with life and drink it from a fountain that is pouring like an avalanche coming down the mountain...

I know I will get flamed for this, but New York fucking city. What a fucking cluster fuck. Stopped by last weekend to see some friends there, 40 minute queue at the airport for a taxi, lines for the museums, lines for this and that and the fucking traffic, Jesus Christ. I will never complain again as I drive through Hell A. Taxi driver on the way back to the airport is telling us how much he loves New York Jesus, the guy has obviously never been to a nice place with a little elbow room and no fucking lines. O fuck and the prices of everything there. I am so glad to be back on the Island.
