heric : "People behind you to the left or right, who interpret your turn indicator as a signal that they must speed up quickly."

Those peolple would list me because, at the point of activating my signal, I have the right of way, and I take it. Of course, part of my boldness comes from driving an old pickup truck. I find those drivers you refer to are usually driving a sporty little import.

A fun tip (for daylight hours). After you change lanes and they are so irate that they weren't able to cut you off and decide to tailgate you in protest, turn on your lights and speed up at the same time.

People behind you to the left or right, who interpret your turn indicator as a signal that they must speed up quickly. In other words, by experimental results, everyone in my city.

I hate bumper stickers with long wordy messages in itty bitty type (i.e., to small to read except at a dead standstill).

Inquiring minds want to know what they say, even while zooming along on the interstate, and it's just not possible, even when risking life and limb in an effort to get close enough to read.

COntrary-wise, dear friend Bill, I get incensed at stupidity, while I find ignorance (an unawareness of facts) easily remedied by information. Telling people is easy enough. But the willfully stupid are just irritating as all git out. But I have thought it over and see your view also -- willful ignorance and innocent stupidity.

In either condition it is the willful assertion of it that drives me nuts.

Motorcycles that weave in and out of traffic. More dangerous than cars that do the same IMO.

Links to news articles that are carefully worded to avoid telling you what the story is about.

People who drive 15 mph on a 30 mph street and then run the red light they've forced you to stop at.

1) ignorance..(not stupidity...I can tolerate people who can't help it, but not those who won't TRY to learn stuff.)

2) people (84.613% women) in grocery stores who stand in the middle of the asile, with one hand on their cart, blocking the entire asile while they contemplate whether to get Cream of Asparagus or Chicken Noodle today. I suspect some of those people are just stupid, so I don't yell at them.

3) Military types who refer to hidden weapons as 'cachets' rather than 'caches'...I suspect many of THESE are ignorant.

you did say 3 so I won't mention red-light runners.....or modern packages that require an axe to open.....or cute female news-readers who can manage to sound 'perky' when reporting on horrendous train wrecks...

Why, no! You can have all the monkey buggers you want!

See, any thread Murcoch starts eventually gets 'round to talking about unnatural acts with either ruminants, or monkeys. Well, occasionally with green leafy vegetable as well, but we won't talk about that.

I wake up by the sun. It doesn't matter what time the clock says. But I have the luxury of not having a regular job so I don't have to be someplace at a certain hour. I didn't like it very much when I had to wake up at 5:30 and it was still dark outside. It ain't natural.

I have a built in alarm system in my head. If I tell myself to wake up at a certain time, I do.

So I don;t need of alarm clocks. As a matter of fact, that's another thing that bugs me.

That makes 4 things.

If you had Bee-dubya-ell's watch the daylight savings thing wouldn't be a problem.

Three things that bug me are

1} The aluminun foil that won't come off the roll right so you end
   up having to tear it away

2} Stores that don't take off the burgler thingamagiggies and you have
   off the clothes but the alarm doesn't go off and you don't know
   that plastic do-hicky is still on till you get all the way home

3) Daylight Saving Time- I guess it's makes sense but particularly
   in the Fall I feel that I've had an hour taken from me-well not
   just me..I don't personalize it..well okay I do.

(1) Automatic drip coffeemakers that are impossible to pour water into without making a mess.

(2) Replacement battery-packs for cordless drills that cost 95¢ less than what you originally paid for the entire drill kit.

(3) My digital pocketwatch that alarms at 8:50 every evening despite my having tried every possible combination of button mashing to make it stop. Trust me, in 55 minutes it'll go off. If I ever actually need to awaken or do anything in particular at 8:50 PM, I'm covered.

If you had to choose from three things in life that really bug you, what would those three things be? Not stuff like politics or war or religion; rather, some little things that drive ya crazy.

Mine are as follows:

1) Those damned labels on the inside of the elastic band of underwear--so I end up wearing my underwear inside out so the label doesn't touch my skin

2) Toilet paper that doesn't tear along the serrated (sp?) line that is put there so the toilet paper tears along the serrated line whick it then doesn't

3) Labels with warnings written in tiny print--and when ya get the magnifying glass to read it, it tells you that there MAY be traces of peanuts or other nuts in your--you guessed it--bag of peanuts.

That was the monkey on my back today. Thank you for helping me get it off.
