Things that bug you (spin off of Goldmoon's thread)

[Angel Tarragon]

I'm not worried about the implication. Now lets stop with the threadjack. Return the nice people to their bitch session.

Sheesh.

And I understand that, within reason.

I was testing it out today as I was driving. In my car, that means stopping about 8 feet away from the car in front of me. Even if you have a low seating position in your car, I still don't think that would make you need to stop more than a full car's length away from the next guy.

But, when I'm talking about Gappers, these are people who are leaving 2 or so car lengths between them and the car in front of them.

Yeah, I have to admit I haven't come across this gappers phenomenum. I have to leave a little more gap than you, because the turning circle on my car is poor, but it's still far less than a car's length.

Oh, and the thing about doorways reminded me of another one...people who refuse to use revolving doors. I can understand that if you walk with a cane or something...but I'm talking about perfectly healthy people who walk *around* the revolving door to use the "push" door...which, btw, lets the warm / cool air out of the building.

Heh, I'm one of those people. Given a choice between a revolving and a normal door, I'll go for the one that is quicker to operate

On a similar note, people who use automatic revolving doors at airports, but bang their luggage into the door making it stop. Repeatedly.

A few things...

1: People who are too lazy to use their turn signals (I see this has been brought up already)
It's not so damn tough. In my last car I didn't even need to take my hand off the wheel to flip the damned thing.

2: Many of the doors at my college have buttons that allow the handicapped to open them. Apparently, even people with working arms feel the need to use these. Here's a though; if all your limbs are functioning, and you are not carrying anything bulky or heavy, don't deny yourself the chance to open the door with your hands. It's probably the most excercise you'll get all day.

3: People with small backpacks that have wheels on them and extendable handles so that they don't need to carry their stuff. If it's too heavy for you to pick up, leave something at home. I know how useful the wheel/handle combo is for heavy luggage, but c'mon, not every bag, napsack, fannypack, change purse and sandwhich bag needs these.

Insurance

need I say more?

Yes, one more word: Advertising

Between those two, we've summed up something like 75% of the world's evil.

Well, then...I work in advertising, and one of my clients is an insurance company. Does that make me 75% of the world's evil?

I tease my father-in-law (who, in any other respect, is an excellent driver) that he bought an expensive car, but somehow he neglected to get the optional turn signals installed in it.

No, just the devil's cabana boy.
