My favourite bumper sticker is still "My juvenile delinquent is fucking your Honor student"
that and the "my juvenile delinquent is beating up your honor student"
but the first definitely is my fav.
pet peeve
when my idiot friends are saying stupid things in the back seat. idiocy should be a capital crime when someone is driving...
to solve it i usually jerk the wheel in either direction rapidly until they shut up... ^_^

People who dont use their blinkers when turning or switching lanes.
People who drive significantly below the speed limit.
people who, for some reason dont use their mirrors and just automatically assume there is room on the road for their manouvre.

Note- DO NOT get Lavender that car snow plow attachment for christmas.
PP#1 People who leave their turn signals on through a couple of time zones with no intention of turning.
PP#2 People for whom merge somehow translates to .... STOP RIGHT FUCKING NOW.
PP#3 Flying Dutchmen..... those cars, usually behemoths, piloted by senior citizens who were old during the Nixon administration. Seniors that are so hunched or low in the seat that their entire view of the road is limited to the crescent shaped space between the top of the dash and the top of the steering wheel

I loved the sticker my father had on his car. "My Kid Sold Your Honour Student the Answers to the Test" and my major pet peeve is people who will wait until the last possible moment, speed up, not signal and move into your lane while cutting you off and nearly causing a wreck.

People who have no right to be in the gene pool of Homo Sapiens getting behind the wheel of a car. You know the kind, they are soooooooo stoopid that if there head were not attached via their neck it would get lost.
People who cannot multi task whilst driving. Example. Someone gabbing on their cell phone while driving, yet they manage to stay in the LEFT freakin lane doing 55 in a 70 MPH Zone, and do not have the common sense to get the hell out of the way. Then when you pass them they give you an "eat shit and die look". Oh they just piss me off.
Then you have the people who just ride along in the left lane doing 55 mph in a 70 for the hell of it. I mean they just lack common courtesy to stay out of the fast lane..........
Oh I could go on and on.........but I think those are the worst of my peeves.
*now back to your regular evening programming.......if this were an actual emergency............*

Lavy-
It's hydraulics. I couldn't let that one pass, sorry.
I personally feel that people who do not realize that it is imperative that they be going the same speed +/- 5 mph as the traffic on the freeway when they are trying to merge onto it, and that they DO NOT have the right of way should be summarily executed.
But hey, that's just me.

Amen, brother PC!
Had a scary encounter of the merging kind today. Expressway was unusually crowded for a Sunday afternoon. I had just merged onto the highway-at the same rate of speed as the surrounding traffic. No room to get over in another lane. A mile or so up the road a new entrance ramp. Now, the idiot entering the highway apparently doesn't understand the concept of LOOKING at the traffic around her and decided to merge despite the fact that I was already occupying the lane! And the fact that there was no room for me to go anywhere other than straight ahead in MY lane!
So, does it occur to this mental giant that SHE is the one who needs to yield? Does her brain process the fact that if she keeps coming that she will not only hit me, but force me into the path of the car in the lane to my left? AARGH!
How I got out of that situation is still a mystery. A miracle and a mystery. And good acceleration under my hood.
Oh-and Expertise, I agree with the other PP in your list... the people who think the turn signal is a fashion accessory that they need to wear all the time. I just love thinking they are going to be turning, thus giving me plenty of time to pull out into the roadway only to have them keep plowing along!
I think all of these fall under an umbrella type category. Drivers who think WE are mind readers!
Thanks for letting us have a place to vent, lavender.

Okay, My one and only peeve, and it is only applicable to my ever being a passenger in someone elses car.
If you don't know how to drive a race car, you have no business owning a standard. If you own a standard and don't know how to downshift properly, then you should die, or learn how to do it right.
Just cause it makes the rpms rev, doesn't mean You look cool driving stick.

My pet peeve. Everyone else on the road and that I'm not driving.
I usually ride shotgun to the fatherinlaw. He does 25 miles an hour and stops at all lights and intersection, irregardless of right of way or greenness. It hurts. It really does.

My biggest pet peeve is the whole blinker thing people have already mentioned. Especially when they're trying to change lanes in heavy traffic and you have no idea of their intentions because they didn't put on the stupid blinker!
That, and when people behind you in the right hand turn lane honk at you when you have a red light. Yes, it is legal to turn right on a red, but I'm not going to turn because there are cars coming! Okay! You can't see what I see, so stop honking your stupid horn!
