God yes, that is such a dick move.

People who speed down a lane that is clearly closed ahead and try and force their way back into traffic.

People who tailgate incessantly and hit their brakes a million times on the highway.

People who text while driving, these assholes are worse than drunks.

ort888 · Apr 8, 2011, 12:26 PM

People who cruise down the center turn lane right past a line of cars like they have figured out some sort of special secret and think that the center lane is just for them and special people. If I was a police officer I would do nothing but ticket these people, and I would give each and every one of them complete hell each time. GET OUT OF THE CAR SIR. HAVE YOU BEEN DRINKING TODAY?

Yep, in Denver yesterday a Navigator was driving down the shoulder before an exit (he wasn't exiting) and he nearly t-boned a car that was actually exiting. Then he wedged his way in front of me. Needless to say, I sat on my horn for a few long seconds.

The Final Dakar · Apr 8, 2011, 12:28 PM

It's almost always an an expensive car, too. "I'm too important to wait."

imitchellg5 · Apr 8, 2011, 12:30 PM

Always. Around here, all the dicks gravitate towards Navigators, Escalades, and AMG Merc SUVs.

The Final Dakar · Apr 8, 2011, 12:45 PM

I feel like all the mentions of SUVs being dicks in this situation is begging for a rob-like outburst.

...write a check at the grocery store. In the 12 items or less line. Fumbling for it in their purse as if they're surprised they have to pay at all.

Please, anyone under 65 who writes a check in the grocery store. Who has checks but not a debit card?

ort888 · Apr 8, 2011, 12:54 PM

Or fumble around forever trying to make the exact change. Drives me nuts. Who cares about change.

Just take the change, throw it in a bucket at the end of the day, and in a few years you'll have a decent amount of money you can spend on something stupid.

olePigeon · Apr 8, 2011, 01:05 PM

... people who don't use turn signals.

... people who wait 20 minutes for all lanes of traffic to clear before turning onto a street to get to the far lane, instead of just turning onto the immediate lane and merging to the far lane.

... people who don't stop for pedestrians, even when in crosswalks.

ort888 · Apr 8, 2011, 01:07 PM

People who just walk at a glacial pace right in the middle of parking lots. HELLO. MOVE JUST TWO FEET TO THE RIGHT YOU WORTHLESS LAZY SELFISH PIECE OF CRAP.

olePigeon · Apr 8, 2011, 01:08 PM

... the large groups of people who sit idly texting on their f*cking phone or taking pictures of some poor guy yelling hysterically who just got his laptop stolen right off his shoulder, and me being the only damn decent person to actually chase after the f*cker who robbed the poor guy.

ort888 · Apr 8, 2011, 01:11 PM

Or wait, how about this one...

You've got a two way street with cars parked on either side so that only one car can move at a time. Another car is coming your way from the other direction so you politely pull over to allow him to go through... so what does the other car in this situation do like 90% of the time? Why, they slow down to a near crawl just in case we decide to just pop out and hit them or something...? I don't get it. SPEED UP YOU NIPPLE.

olePigeon · Apr 8, 2011, 01:43 PM

... people in the carpool lane who drive only 5 Mph faster than the rest of traffic, making the carpool lane almost superfluous.

besson3c · Apr 8, 2011, 01:44 PM

How about being in an elevator and letting an audible giant ass fart rip?

People who stop at a stop sign and refuse to proceed until you come to complete freakin' stop at yours.

Edit: and servers that double-post

sek929 · Apr 8, 2011, 01:54 PM

I don't like if I'm taking a left at a busy intersection and the oncoming car stops to let me turn. In reality I was planning on waiting until you passed, and by stopping you've actually inconvenienced both of us.

el chupacabra · Apr 8, 2011, 01:57 PM

People who leave 20 feet between them and the car in front of them on city streets, causing themselves and everyone behind them to miss every light.
.. Who stop at yellow lights.
.. Who accelerate slowly a couple seconds after the light turns green because they bought a huge inefficient lazy automatic vehicle and they think they're
saving gas money.
..who drive 65 in the left most highway lane.
..who drive on the phone.
..SUV drivers who complain about the price of gas.
..people who say they need an SUV just so they can "win" in an accident... All the while suv drivers are the worst on the road.
..who take 2 spaces because their car is too big to fit in a standard space.
..who carelessly slam the doors of their trailer trashed welfare payed for car into the side of your car then say "whats your problem mannn, its just a car, your being materialistic" when you get annoyed at them.

poor people who say hey man moneys not that big a deal, your too obssessed with money..... while asking me for money and leeching off church charity and other social program.
Selfish people who do nothing for anyone else yet when times are bad for them they expect civilized society and government to help clean up their messes.
People who lift the seat up and still pee all over the floor.

imitchellg5 · Apr 8, 2011, 01:59 PM

... Americans who complain about the price of petrol.

... and from about 2 minutes ago, a Range Rover and a Pilot parked in compact car slots.

The Final Dakar · Apr 8, 2011, 01:59 PM

People who call gas petrol.

imitchellg5 · Apr 8, 2011, 02:03 PM

Gas is such a generic term.

I fail to see the problem. When are people referring to anything but the price at the pump?

Oh hell, it's American English, that's just the way it is.

I could complain that Americans call soft drinks (like Bud) "beer".

That's not a bad idea. Fill SUVs with helium because it is lighter than air, which will result in better MPGs, right?

That'd be me, sorry. I keep at about 1 car length distance when I'm stopped at a light. This keeps me from rear ending the car ahead of me should my car be hit from behind. I always see 3 and 4 car accidents because people don't leave enough space.

I stop for yellow lights because you're supposed to. It also gives me the opportunity to scare the sh*t out of red light runners.

MrsLarry · Apr 8, 2011, 02:50 PM

...people who are the 2nd in line at a stop sign, but proceed to turn at the same time as the person in front of them

(i.e. person across from you is going straight across, you're going straight across, but the person BEHIND the person across from you bangs a left simultaneously making you have to slam your brakes mid-intersection.) **shakes fist**

phantomdragonz · Apr 9, 2011, 02:00 AM

Talk on the phone while in the checkout line

throw change/cash on the counter instead of putting in the hands of the cashier who is waiting for you to get the exact change (GET A DAMN DEBIT CARD!)

People who write checks and get all annoyed when they need to get their ID out too... fawkers

People who write checks (Ok as long as you are mailing it)

people who treat their cashier like they are an idiot, or are substandard to them.

(can you tell I work as a cashier?)

brassplayersrock² · Apr 9, 2011, 02:17 AM

(Had this while I worked at an ice creme shop a few times)

Cashiers who give you bills, and then stack coins on top.

Coins frigging first... like, in the little cuppy I'm making with my hand.

Boom! Headshot.
