and then of course there is the "how did our guy do" survey text after it is all done which I generally fill out since corporate asshats take that shit serious and I try and match my bitching with positivity to some degree when I am happy with service

Those stupid surveys make me surly.

Do you not have a DL or your own vehicle?   You get carted around why?  No gumption?  WTF?  
 

If the wife insists on going to certain places(church) I make her drive. I will even ride in the back with the kids for reparations.

Especially the ones using them in the checkout line at HEB who shush you when they can't hear over the normal grocery store noise.  No, lady, you're not in a phone booth.  I will speak as loudly as needed for my wife to hear me.  Maybe a tad louder now.

In a similar vein,, the  men who drop off their scrub-wearing wives at the hospital for bed pan duty. NOLA based.

I'll echo the hatred of people using phone speakers in public.

The thing I don't understand is why they even enjoy doing it.  It sounds like absolute shit and you're hearing everything else around you.  Not only are headphones more courteous, they're a much better auditory experience.

I'd argue that's not trivial.  People who don't signal cause a lot of damn accidents.

People who will listen to music on phone speakers beyond just showing somebody a video. The tinny shit sound quality makes me stabby. Closest I've ever come to getting in a fight at a gym was when a motherfucker thought it was somehow acceptable to just be blaring music on his iphone. I told him in no uncertain terms that shit was not gonna fly. 

Along the same lines I've gotten to where I pretty much hate hearing phones ring in public. Put that shit on vibrate or at least silence it with some urgency.

I am taxiing to the gate in ATL. Lady behind me has her speakerphone on talking to some other lady. No one cares to hear your stupid conversation. Having to hear half of it is bad enough!

[BonzoMontreaux 1033]

Not trivial, worth repeating...

Fucking dumb ass lady with her husband in the passenger seat doing 77 (80mph Speed Limit) in the left lane on the toll road.  Situation made worse by the fact that there were assholes in the middle lane doing the same speed.  No one aware enough to understand that they were all impeding my progress.  

If you can't drive the speed limit on the toll road, stay the fuck off of it.

People who drive the speed limit or less in the left lane in normal weather, drive me absolutely insane.

Back in February we went to Milwaukee, and the entire way across Wisconsin it was one asshole after another doing 70 MPH in the left lane and refusing to get over.

[SilasCoade 2620]

Wrong. It's a speed limit not a speed minimum. It's not your road. You are the asshole. Have you done the math to figure out how big a difference that 3mph made for your trip?

Yes left lane is for passing but if cars on the right are going 75 and the car in front of you is going 76 you don't get to bitch about not going 80

So you're the asshole semi driver who's truck is governed at 70.1 trying to pass the guy who's truck is governed at 69.9 for 40 miles?

The left lane is for passing.  If you aren't passing, get the fuck out of the way.  It's not my road, but it ain't yours either.

I go about 9 over the speed limit.  If someone's going faster than me (which is plenty frequent) I get the fuck over and let them pass.

You sure talk like it's your road. I should slow down behind the guy on the right because you want to pass faster than I'm passing? Fuck you. All you guys dog piling on this just realize slorch is on your side and reflect on your life choices.

If you wanna police speed limits, become a traffic cop.

[SilasCoade 2620]

The law is not a suggestion.

But that is beside the point I was making. You have three people wanting to go different speeds. The argument put forth is that the person desiring to go the medium speed should slow down behind the slow person to allow the fast person by. Essentially fuck everyone because speedy is more important. Fuck speedy. I'll pull over after I get around the slow guy. If you want to be mad at that well that's on you.

This is a tough one but I’m with Al.  Move over. Left lane is for passing not passing in twenty minutes 

[mininghorn88 2249]

When my daughter (no pics) was a young driver she was driving in the left hand lane without having to pass anyone.  A State Trooper pulls up next to her and motions for her to get over into the RH lane.  LH lane is for passing.  She learned her lesson.

She is the only female that I allow to drive me around when I go visit them out of town.

Lead, follow, or get out of the way.

When someone is coming up behind me and going faster while I’m mildly passing another vehicle on the right, I speed up to complete my pass and return to my previously scheduled speed in the right lane, because holding up someone else is a dick move.

Forcing someone to drive faster than they are comfortable with is not a dick move? Weird values system you got there. Holding someone up for what will likely amount to two minutes or less in travel time versus increasing speed which directly correlates to accidents and accident severity. Tough to know who is right but sure, selfish assholes rule the world so let's just go with your way 

[Sandman 3401]

I ordered some stuff online from two different vendors (neither amazon), both told me my items would arrive within 2-3 days, which was incredibly quick, IMO. Nothing has showed up yet and everything has been pushed back. Why over-promise and under-deliver? If they had told me it would take 10 days to get my stuff, that's fine. I didn't ask for 2 day shipping. But if you tell me it'll be here in 2 days and now it's been a week and it still ain't here, I'm irritated.

My life choices are fine, can discuss... and have.

But for the record, move your ass Pyle... Your slow ass driving is either deliberate or negligent.  GTFO of the way.

It is a dick move to keep driving in the LH lane.  For them to hurry up and make their pass is not asking too much of them.  It is not like asking them to drive super fast the whole time.  Maybe a quarter of a mile just to get around the vehicle that they are plodding by.  It is probably the same drivers that slowly pass an 18-wheeler as well.  I notice that a lot of people actually drive slower next to an 18-wheeler and then speed up once they are around them.  Hurry up and pass.

It's not just a good idea -- in Texas it happens to be the law:

SUBCHAPTER B. DRIVING ON RIGHT SIDE OF ROADWAY AND PASSING

 

Sec. 545.051. DRIVING ON RIGHT SIDE OF ROADWAY. (a) An operator on a roadway of sufficient width shall drive on the right half of the roadway, unless:

(1) the operator is passing another vehicle;

(2) an obstruction necessitates moving the vehicle left of the center of the roadway and the operator yields the right-of-way to a vehicle that:

(A) is moving in the proper direction on the unobstructed portion of the roadway; and

(B) is an immediate hazard;

(3) the operator is on a roadway divided into three marked lanes for traffic; or

(4) the operator is on a roadway restricted to one-way traffic.
