Wow Ikea. Sounds like they have more traffic there than Elitch Gardens does. Did you have to pay to get in?

Why do drivers seem to be in such a hurry...all the time?
Why are they such pricks?
Why (especially on the bike) do people feel the need to zoom around me in a huff, when i'm already going 10mph over?? Normally slow cars (mini vans, expeditions, saturns) cruise past me, even from a dead stop!? It's not like im crawling either...

Drive faster old man.

No but seriously, it seems like there are some streets where you get run over if you're not doing 15+ over the limit. I'm definitely not a slow driver and I can't believe some of these people haven't created accidents yet when they fly by me when I'm already speeding.

Powers is like that down here. On the north end where it's all wide open, people speed like crazy, but down by me where it's narrower, you're lucky to get them to go faster than 45-50 even though it's 55 the whole way north to south.

Stoplights that are only red just long enough for you to slow down to be too high for 1st but not quite second...

These fscking birds that keep suicide bombing the windows where I live... It's not like the windows are open, they are clearly opaque (see what I did there?) as the blinds are down... Stupid birds.

Oh. and Canada.

I hate this too. Although it's cool when you're next to someone and this happens, cause when the light turns green you can just haul ### away from the light getting back up to the speed limit and I like leaving slow people behind.

LOL!!!

Something that grinds my gears is when people BLATANTLY run red lights. There are a few seconds between lights and people are still going through the intersection when your light is green. PRETTY obvious your light is red douchebag.

Also, when people get stopped and their light turns red as they're crossing through the intersection in front of you and it causes you to miss your light while you wait for them. This just happened to me earlier on Powers. And it's not like they didn't know they were going to be stopped in the intersection, there was an accident ahead and traffic wasn't even moving. The guy next to me took off and cut between two cars stopped in the middle and I did the same. That REALLY pisses me off.

And Japanese Prank Show videos grind Chris' gears. LOL.

What grinds my gears? Insomnia. I havent been able to get any sleep for the last two days and working like this is pretty exhausting. It sucks.

Automated sales calls that constantly dial my cell phone, then get to my voicemail only to be on there long enough for my phone to 'think' there's a message. Then I have to go in, see the :03 of silence and delete it.

Argh!

Not sure if this has been mentioned.

People that don't understand drive-thrus. When you have finished ordering at the speaker, you should pull up far enough for the person behind you to make their order. When it's totally packed, this may not be an option, but there is usually space to pull wide on the first turn to get extra space behind you, and you will still be able to get back to the wall before the window. I can't stand being 2 feet out of range of the speaker when the car in front of me has a 3 foot gap in front of them.
