Things that irk you......

Kids going to Florida for a sports tournament is not a charity. It's a vacation.

 

What does the first sentence mean? It was intended to mean something that it has become to refer to?

Talking about whatever, let alone a house, is meaningless. Games above .500 is a term of art related to sports. It means what people agree it means. I've never heard anybody object to it and I've heard/read plenty of references to a finishing 20 games above .500. People know what it means.

 

1. People who drive slow in the left hand lane of the highway.
2. People driving slow in the left hand lane of the highway who refuse to get over to the right when someone is behind them.
3. People who read their phone, texts, talk on the phone, all while make the act of driving a multi-thousand pound vehicle seem secondary in importance and attention compared to said activity on their phone.
4. Colin Cowherd and his pretty much complete lack of logic. (Although this one has become far less of an issue with his move to the black hole of Fox Sports radio.

 

Sheesh, ain't that the truth?

 

1) When I'm drive 5-10 miles over the speed limit in the left lane to pass a car, yet somebody else flys up and decides that three feet is enough space between my back bumper and their front bumper.
2) Assholes who then get over into the midde/right lane to pass me, because apparently I wasn't getting over in the right lane fast enough (because, you know, I think there should be more than three feet between my back bumper and the front bumper of the car in the other lane before I merge.

 

Impatience; mostly my own.

 

What do you yearn for? A companion thread.

 

Well hurry up and get it over with!!

 

Similar to the slow drivers, people who not only walk slowly through the supermarket but seem determined to make sure you walk slow as well. Most commonly women with kids, if you try to get around them they fan out and cut you off while yammering on about something. Try to pass on the left, they and their brood fan out some more. Try to sneak by on the right and they check you into the shelving. They'll never acknowledge you're there or look at you, but it's like they have a radar sense on which way you're going to go. It's uncanny.

 

The underlying problem is far too many slow drivers thinking the middle lane is the right place for them because they don't want to deal with merging traffic or whatever. It forces people who legitimately belong in the middle lane to the left lane and people in the left lane to then cut all the way to the right to get around the slow drivers clogging up the middle and fast lanes.

 

Ram them into the canned goods. They'll think twice the next time.
