Official: You know what really grinds my gears?

I like to abide by the "White lines are optional stops and all stop signs have white lines around them"! LOL. Not much population where we live tho!

 

Why you gotta walk through my yard that's already struggling when there's plenty of driveway to use?? Literally walked a straight line two feet into my yard the entire length.

 

Waiting for a nice cold front, a brief sprinkle, and now the air is fresh and Im going to stay up all night to see the sun rise.

 

If "nobody" was there, who gave you the ticket?

 

Aha, someone caught that. I'd like to say it was a hidden officer with no lights on or a camera but the guy a few hundred yards ahead of me that never slowed down made me feel I could clear that hurdle.

I consider it unfortunate timing. Unlike the guy in front of me, I decided to at least slow down for a sense of safety even though I didn't plan to make a full stop if i didnt see anyone. When I was about 10-15 feet from the stop sign and had taken my foot off the brake, headlights topped the hill to my left (but were about a half mile away). I jammed on the brakes but realized I'd stop in the middle of the intersection so thought "screw it, what are the chances it's a police officer" and just went through as planned. I saw the blue lights come on before I got to the other side.

I sometimes think "if I hadn't slowed down at all, he wouldn't have topped the hill until i was already across and I would have never gotten caught" but for some reason feel THAT would have been dangerous and irresponsible. See, spirit of the law.

 

I'd like to add to this: People who don't know what a turn signal is.

 

Right!? I lose my marbles when people don’t use their signals

 

My other favorite is people who pull out right in front of you from a side street or parking lot like they're in some big rush, and then they snail-drive in front of you.

 

People in front of you who have their rear wiper ON when it’s not raining

 

What a guy, wow.
..maybe he had poop on his shoe he wanted to work off on your lawn

 

When your heat-pump throws a check-engine light.

 

When people use the term "not to ___ but" right before exactly what they are about to do.

"Not to be a jerk but...."
"Not to get political but..."
"Not to be that guy but..."

Just own what your about to do and don't bother with the "not to"

 

When someone asks about retrofitting an interesting accessory option and one person chooses to be rude and gets the thread deleted.

 

In high school my brother dated this pretty little gal that just looked like a cheerleader on a Chevrolet commercial but... she listened to Tool and swore like a sailor. One day we're riding with her somewhere and stop at a two way stop and there is a cross traffic car coming so she waits like a good do-bee only to have this guy turn right at the last second with no signal. As he rolls by she lets him have it with the loudest "nice ticker Fuckface" you've ever heard. Well we laughed and "nice ticker Fuckface" has been a part of our lexicon ever since. (45 years - don't know why he didn't marry her)

 

Capacitor

note: If you outside fan stops working and you can start it by gently spinning it. Its the capacitor.

 

Photo is from a different thread, but my shins hurt just looking at this.

And yes, the Camaro is over the white line, but driving around with a 12" long dinosaur penis sticking out the back of one's vehicle seems unnecessary.

 

this is the exact reason I have have one. No one gives a crap how they drive or park these days also looks like that camaro has had a rear impact before or hitting the hook caused all that damage. .

 

Perfect description!

 

It seems unnecessary, until this happens. Then you're damn glad you had it on your 4Runner. Hey, that truck looks familiar!

 

could you imagine what it would have looked like it they didnt have this? Damage averted.

 

Here's what would have happened if I didn't have that "dinosaur penis" (that's funny by the way) on my 4Runner.

The guy would have pulled into the spot and bumped my rear bumper. Then he would have pulled out of that spot and parked elsewhere, to hide the fact that he hit me. Then I would have noticed the damage and been stuck with getting it fixed. People these days don't like taking responsibility for their actions. They run from them as fast as they can. Not all people, but more people do it now than say...20-30yrs ago.

I digress. My large dinosaur penis stopped it from happening! All hail my large penis!

 

Hail hit your what?

 

agreed 100% Borracho. I want a full steel bumper in the future from victory 4x4, then the careless will get really damaged hitting the rear. To quote the great Taylor Swift, “Play stupid games, win stupid prizes”.

 

he means bow to the 12” DP

 

Bay Area;

- no turning signals when making a turn
- no stopping for peds
- no stopping on stop signs
- texting and driving
- no lights on at night when driving
- loud music (if we can call it music) played with windows wide open with a lot of n word in the lyrics

Yes, I will have a heart attack soon....

 

Im going to borrow this phrase and do the same to people from now on.

 

Perhaps some little, short and wooden fence could prevent people from doing so. I hate it when grass gets walked on, where there clearly is a walkway....

 

I was thinking punji pit but you're idea is probably more HOA friendly.

If I didn't just dig out that entire triangle and replant grass I wouldn't be so mad. But fuck people can't even identify seedling grass.

 

Ahhh. HOA is in play. See what works best. Barbed wire, electric fence.....lol. JK.

That 4R's color, what is it? It looks great!

 

yes!! No turn signals, no lights at night or during rain or fog events drive me up a frigging wall!!!
