Re: Your irrational pet peeves
A "Gino" is an Italian male who is from Canada and not from the country of their ancestry. A typical gino enjoys lively techno music (deemed "gino beats"), wears tight or sporty clothing (some brands include Adidas, Puma, Kappa and Diesel), likes small and sporty European cars, wears his hair spiked or curly and is of little or no intellect.

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
people that will sit behind a slow car and not use their turn signal to show their intentions of moving over. i know what they want to do, but unless they signal i cant be sure and then has they start moving, they flip the signal on for one flash and then turn it off. if you had it on and was like hey bro i wanna come over id be like sure thing buddy hop right in, thanks for making your intentions known. if you are drifting over, i have eyes, i can see you moving over, no need to signal that brosef

I have no idea what LITT is talking about, and I am pretty keen when it comes to A-holes on the road.

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
its the guy who uses the turn signal the second he moves. whats the point of that. the turn signal is meant to signal the intention to turn. when you turn in to mcdonalds, you dont turn your blinker on right as you turn into parking lot, that is how you get your **** wrecked

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
I think he is annoyed with the people that don't signal, but when they start to move over (when it is already known they are moving over) they flip the signal on for one flash. It is absolutely pointless at that point.DudeMan2766 wrote:im not following whats going on in this one?Letang Is The Truth wrote:people that will sit behind a slow car and not use their turn signal to show their intentions of moving over. i know what they want to do, but unless they signal i cant be sure and then has they start moving, they flip the signal on for one flash and then turn it off. if you had it on and was like hey bro i wanna come over id be like sure thing buddy hop right in, thanks for making your intentions known. if you are drifting over, i have eyes, i can see you moving over, no need to signal that brosef

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
I absolutely agree with this. Here is also what I will say. Look at the diagram:

Now, I freaking hate whenever the car behind the big truck in the right decides he has to pass it just at that moment, as I am flying up on the left side. Sometimes I will do that, but I always make sure I increase my speed so I don't hold the guy in the left lane up.
You don't just drift over and continue your 63 mph speed as you slowly crawl past the damn truck. MATCH THE SPEED OF THE LANE

When people at work try to tell me that their SUV is a car, after I refer to it as a truck.

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
i never use my signal until after i've confirmed that there's space for me to change lanes. so really, there's not much value in me even signaling. but i firmly believe in still using it.

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
My car only has a 14-gallon tank. I bring four 5-gallon cans with me and fill them up first, then pump the rest into my car. I put a shot of Sta-Bil in each can first. I then put a can’s worth in my car whenever it drops below a quarter tank.Juice wrote:Speaking of common sense...
Fuel perks allow up to 30 gallons. I drive a truck that holds 26, and most of the time when I redeem my fuel perks I fit about 22-23 gallons into my truck. Those extra 6-7 gallons are going in gas cans fo sho.
Annoyingly, it’s darn near impossible to find a gas can that’s actually designed to fuel automobiles. They’re all designed for lawn equipment and the like. I have to use a long funnel to fill the car. And those PITA new spring-loaded gas cans require me to tie the nozzle open with an extra boot lace before I pour. Still, the savings are worth the minor inconvenience. I only buy gas about once a month, and by the time I get to another fill-up I usually have well over a dollar per gallon off the pump price.

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
I drove to NYC and back. I was going 85 mph with a few car length in front of me of another car. really no other cars around beside one behind me. Construction made the lane go down to one. A car that was behind me could of waited a few seconds until we got to the merge point. BUT NO. This indian lady got in the other lane, increased her speed (and maybe just realized it went to one lane) and then switched lanes to go right in front of me really only 4-5 feet away of the front of my car while going 85 mph! I layed on my horn for a while.

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
In my experience, I stay away from certain ethnicity/gender combinations on the road. Asian women are terrible drivers. Obviously a lot of American women are terrible as well, but I don't think I have ever seen a female Asian driving that hasn't scared the bejesus out of me.

People who talk to me on the elevator, attempting to fill the silence. No I do not care what you think about the weather or other small talk, nor do I care that you live or work in my building, I don't know you and please stop making the elevator ride awkward.
