Things that annoy you

I'm sure this has been mentioned, but I'm not checking 60+ pages and I'm sure it's worth mentioning again.
First, people that slow down to pass tractor trailers.
Second, people that do 50-60 mph in the left lane and when you come up on their rear, doing 70, they take forever to move over and when they do, they speed up and do 75 in the middle lane.
And I'm beyond being annoyed with morons texting while driving. I insist that explosive devices be installed in all cell phones.

People who mention things again that weren’t worth mentioning again.

Since the 80s I've been looking for a way to have a pair of Sidewinder missiles mounted on my fenders, ready and armed. Maybe two pair. ;)

I have seriously considered ways to address this traffic problem. Honestly, in my 30 min (each way) commute, I probably average 2 individual drivers that need to be removed from the road. The rest, realistically just need a little nudge.
I've considered everything from paint balls to explosives. At the end of the day, I think a robust vehicle with a front and side mounted hydraulic ram that can be ejected/retracted over and over is the most sensible alternative.
 
Stupid people.
Not ignorant, not low intelligence, not misinformed, not mentally ill, not learning disabled. They're all fine. They could learn. They aren't stupid. We all can learn new things. Stupid is different.
Where people just know something isn't right, but they stick to it nonetheless, or have a cause they know is not backed by any evidence/science/fact/logic, and dig their heels in despite all the contrary evidence/science/fact/logic? They're stupid.
They annoy me.
 
Moved to a new town and signed up for Nextdoor. Way too many contentious posts, people saying the whole town is going down the toilet, others arguing with them and referring to others as whiners. As Chuck Berry once said "Too much monkey business."
Yup, that annoys me, probably why I like it here. I tip my bass clef cap to my fellow TB members and to the mods. Thanks my friends.
