Four-way intersection with traffic lights. I am sitting on my white line, in my lane, waiting for the light to change. Idiot makes a 45 degree turn past me, barely missing my car, and gives ME a dirty look like I'm the prick!!!!!


Two things bring me to tears. The unconditional Love of God,the service of the United States Military,past,present,and future.

I would rather meet
a slick-sleeve private,
than a hollywood star!

Agree with the OP. Making two 45 degree turns is one of my pet peeves.

The worst example occurred back when I lived in Anchorage. I was making a left turn from a flashing redlight (cross street had flashing orange) in my Silverado (i.e. full sized truck) and the nose of my bumper was aligned with the stripe. Actually had a corner cutter make two 45 degree turns and his turn took him behind me instead of in front. I still shake my head when I remember that jackwad.

Pet peeve of mine in my neighborhood. People just cannot drive today. Their head is so full of social media bullshit and their snowflake tea.

Do high schools even teach driving skills anymore? It may not be on the agenda.

I used to laugh at the Russian dashcam videos.

Now, I think half of those videos may have actually been made in the US.

Some do but that doesn't really matter because it's not just those darn young whippersnappers. I see young, middle aged and old, all races, both genders, etc. driving horribly.

PASig,

Thanks for your rant. I've wanted to say the same thing. You just said it better.

Don't get me started on navigating a 4 way stop sign!

Best,

Jake

I don't like it when people make 90 degree turns. it's too old fashioned.
