Hump Day Top 5 List

Happy Hump-Day, Snackers! It's frigid and snowy here in the Minneapple, and as usual, the inclement weather is bringing out all the asshole drivers. Both Xferen and Leelabell have already picked up on this trend, so I'm jumping on the bandwagon: what are your top 5 pet peeves about other drivers? Let the virtual road rage begin!! Here are mine:

1. Driving slowly in the left lane. It's called the PASSING LANE, idiots! Just because you're not comfortable driving over 40 doesn't make it ok for you to slow ME down!

2. Inability to merge - this one is rife in MN. Seriously, it's legendary. People actually stop at the end of merging lanes here. How they think you can merge if you're not actually moving forward is beyond me.

3. No thank you wave when I let you in. I mean, come on, people! Have a little common courtesy! It's only a fricking wave, for chrissakes - would it kill you to make that tiny gesture?

4. Spastic foot drivers - you know, the ones who pass you like it's the most urgent thing ever, and then mysteriously slow down and lag behind, and then urgently pass you again? What is WITH that? Hello, cruise control!

5. Tailgaters. Seriously. There is nothing more annoying than being tailed. If I could go any faster, I would! And your tailing my ass is not going to make that semi get out of my way any faster!

Whew, that feels better. OK, what's on your list?
