Meltdowns! What trips your trigger?

I really get mad when I'm driving and I look in the rear view mirror and the driver in the car behind me is OBVIOUSLY texting while driving, but they think they're being oh so clever by keeping the phone down at crotch level so nobody can see it. Sometimes I just pull over and let them pass so I'm not the one they are clearly going to rear end and possibly maim someday

Around here they're just as likely to be cruising FB, reading/writing email, or surfing the web. And if you pulled over to let every one of them pass you'd never reach your destination. :woot:
 
They are quite more annoying when they claim a false moral high ground though.

Of course it's false. You might have missed the implied oxymoron of an abusive pervert who's holy. :D

Although I disagree that there are levels of "annoyance" with abusive perverts; they're all deserving of maximum spurn no matter what height of ground they're on.
 
Any abusive pervert is enraging, regardless of whether or not they're holy. No group has a monopoly on it.

The hypocrisy is what makes it worse. Josh Duggar, for example, profited from moralizing about "family values" while wreaking havoc in his own families.

Awesome. Exactly my sentiments regarding post #43. You don't see precisely that regarding a presumption of "moral high ground"?
Why the rush to defend "mythological perverts who use their 'holy book' as the reason for them to promote hatred, bigotry, racism to the general detriment of the rest of the world" from you two? Do you disagree that that is bad? Why take such exception to the statement? Do you identify with that description?
 
Yeah, I don't get people who are travelling in the passing lane when the slow lane is completely empty.
I had it happened to me on the way home today. Two cars in front of me in the passing lane, and both were going about 5 mph under the speed limit.
I passed them in the slow lane & then immediately slowed down in front of them to make my turn, LOL!
