While we're on the subject of bathrooms,to whomever is designing the handicapped stalls in public restrooms:
I do NOT want my rear end to be visible to others in the bathroom!
The stalls are set up in such a way that you can see the person in the stall through the crack where the door supposedly meets the wall.
The walls are SUPPOSED to be for privacy. Not in the one I was in today, and it wasn't the first one!
Nettie now concedes the soapbox to the next victim.
Okay, anyone else want to throttle drivers who run up your butt while you are doing 5-10 MPH over the speed limit and there is a car blocking the other lane so you can't move over? Throttling is the least I want to do.
Also, we saw too many guys on motorcycles with sleeveless shirts on! On the freeway! Barry would shake his head and sigh. All I can think is that they must not like the skin on their arms very much.

Or their back, chest, and torso
Bikers with sleeveless shirts. How original.
I was theatened to within a half inch of my life if I ever DARED pull such a stunt. And that was my MOTHER.....Even in the extreme heat I at least wear my denim jacket, but thats only to the office and back. My aunt always reminds me "better cowhide than my hide".
Anything above about 90 degrees just isn't much fun.

It times like that I tell my daughter "ear muffs and close your eyes" because Daddy is going to do and say something bad.
Or worst yet, you are in the left lane and the car in front is going 5-10 miles slower (than the speed limit) and the car beside it is going the same speed.

A lot of people seem to seem to do a Jekyll and Hyde transformation once they get into a car. Someone who would be polite to you in person suddenly becomes a rude, aggressive, selfish maniac when behind the wheel. Maybe people show their true selves when driving? Then we are all in trouble. Typical behavior is carelessly romping the accelerator to the floor until they catch up to the car ahead, and then aggressively tailgating that vehicle because they are "in my way" (again thinking they are the only ones of any importance in the world). Its just really childish behavior. These folks cause most of the rear end collisions that happen, and we all get to share in the increased insurance rates. And if you look at these drivers who act this way, I often see a mother driving with children in car seats in the back.
I see this all too often on my street. Mind you it is residential and the speed limit is 25. I love to tick off people that try to go faster. They also pass people that are turning on to other streets, into driveways. Um hello...this is a no passing zone and lots of children around. I purposely swing wide when turning into my driveway...boy does that tick them off. I would love to have them stop just once...
Or people who are driving with kids STANDING UP in the back seat! The kids must have their feet seat belted.....
This has probably already been posted, but mine are the people (usually TV anchors) who insist on overusing words or phrases. My recent short list includes: "like", "actually", "basically", "at the end of the day", and "moving forward", just to name a few!
