I think my ultimate frustrating road behavior is the people who insist on a 3-second nap after the light or the turn arrow turns green. The other day I sat through the whole cycle at a big intersection just up the street from where I live. I was the 4th car in a left turn lane. The turn arrow and the light for the adjoining lanes all turned green, and nobody moved in any of the lanes for at least 4 seconds. When the lead dolt in our turn lane finally awoke from his stupor and oozed through the turn, the next dolt in line took his own 3-second nap. So did Dolt #3, who went through after the arrow had turned solid red. The result of which was that for a turn arrow which lasted probably 12 to 15 seconds, ONLY THREE F*CKING CARS made it through. I wasn't one of them. And nobody honked their horns except me. So I had to sit through the whole 5-minute cycle all over again, thanks to the overly-polite dip-shits I'm forced to share the road with and despite the fact that I pay way more than my share of the cost of building and maintaining those roads.

I hate it when folks out here in corn country, where you can see in every direction for 2 miles at intersections, sit at stop signs for 15-20 seconds when it's plainly obvious there is no one on the cross road. That said, they still manage to get themselves killed at wide open (unmarked) intersections because they somehow just assume the other guy is going to stop, assuming they even see the other car coming. It comes down to tunnel vision. They only see what's right in front of them. They don't even think about looking ahead or off to the sides while they drive.

I hung with a crowd that was 8-10 years older than I was. I tried one. Meh. You didn't miss much.

Gimme a break, I'm an aussie, we are 20 years behind the rest of the world. In the late 80's when I became "legal" we had booze, pot, speed and acid. I have seen Denis Leary's "No Cure For Cancer" a million times and still have no idea what a freakin' lude is!!!

You use your heated seats all year round, even when the AC is on because it feels good on your aching back.

Just walked up 4 flights from the basement at the office. Even with all the cycling I do, my quads still scream at me when I'm climbing stairs and I'm still sucking air like a fish out of water when I reach the top.
