Pet Peeves

People who decide to help me out and push the button for "my" floor when I enter the lift at work. I do go to other floors sometimes.

People who feel they absolutely must leave 500 meters distance to the car in front of them, even if traffic is moving so slowly that people with walkers are passing them.

People who sit there and count to three - or something - before moving when the light turns green.



There is a center lane for left turns. People who are turning left slow down and come almost to a stop in the traffic lane and then edge over into the turn lane at the last possible moment instead of pulling into the turn lane to slow down.

Well that's what you get for driving 130mph on the Autobahn instead of whatever that is in kilometers.

Kissing rear bumpers in North America is completely pointless, it will never result in someone moving over into the right lane. Nothing will. Which is my pet peeve.

SOmewhere I have a cartoon I cut out. It is a stream of cars back to infinity, all are M Benz, BMW, Porsche, etc, all waving their fists out the window at the driver in front of them. All are in the inside lane, bumper to bumper. One lone tiny economy car is blithely motoring past them all in the outside lane, its occupants giving a puzzled look at the cars they are passing. The caption is something to the effect "Autobahn drivers exercising their birthright to the inside lane."
