Most Annoying Habits

[Mike]

I heard a radio show reading the top 5 most annoying habits of people in a recent pole. I think a few of them were:

Driving slow in the fast lane.
Using LOL after everything, LOL
Getting on an elevator before you allow others to get off
Talking loudly on a cell phone
(can't remember the 5th)

For me...
Definitely driving slow in the fast lane. If you're not passing someone, get over!

When people talk with their mouth full of food. I worked with a great gal, but we'd meet with executives at high level meetings over lunch, and there she was with her cheek all bulging out, talking away. :verysick
When people snap their chewing gum repeatedly in a quiet place. :bigfrown

Just thought you'd like to know what annoys me. :D

I can't stand people who are constantly apologising to you for no reason. Every sentence begins and ends with sorry.

Just had to get it out there...sorry.

Number one thing that drives me up the wall, hands down...
TAILGATING!!!

I live in an area where you never know what's around the corner...could be a nice clear road...or bambi...or an elk...or a moose...and one would have to break...and then there's the dingbat right on my tail.

If you don't leave at least one car length for every 10 miles per hour we are traveling between your bumper and mine...YOU ARE SERIOUSLY ANNOYING ME! You'll seriously annoy me by tailgating just me...if my kids are in the car, and you are putting their lives in danger, I'm moving from being annoyed to being downright angry and it's best to back off. REALLY, IT IS BEST TO BACK OFF!

Got that off my chest...yesterday, during a snowstorm when the roads were icy and slick, and visibility was just about maybe 50 feet, a guy was tailgating me as I was driving my kids to school. He was so close, not only was there danger of a rear-end, but his headlights were shining right in my eyes from the rear-view mirror.

Oh, and just in case any brother or sister around here doesn't know how to judge the distance between your car and the car ahead of you, here's a simple and fairly accurate way: Watch as the car ahead of you passes some kind of stationary object, a road sign, a tree, whatever. As soon as the car passes, say "10 miles per hour, 20 miles per hour, 30 miles per hour". You should be able to count out to the miles per hour you are traveling before passing the object yourself. (If you are driving 50 mph, you should be able to say "50 miles per hour" before passing it.) If you pass the object before you get to the mph you are driving, then you are driving too closely and you need to slow down. Especially if it's me in front of you, and especially if I have my kids in the car.

Tailgating is my dad's #1 pet hate. His strategy is to suddenly break. That gets them off his tail, because if they smash into the back of him they pay insurance costs for both cars, because they were in the wrong. HA!
