pet peeves

I might catch some guff for this one but I hate to hear an older person when they want something from you want you to cut your price because they are on a "fixed income". I've told more than one "well then get off your a$$ and do something"

Every one of these clowns is breaking most traffic laws. I had to go pull the grandsons car out of the ditch. He came over the top of a hill and had to take the ditch to keep from killing a dozen or more of them riding on the wrong side of the road. And not one of the bozos stopped to see if he was ok.       I was run off the road years ago by a bunch of them while I was driving a truck loaded with 1800 gallons of gas. Some clown running for state representative came up to me today riding his dam bicycle. I told him to keep peddling, and let him know how i felt about anyone on a bicycle on a highway. Every dam bicycle on the highways outta have a license plate and proof of insurance just like any body in a car or truck. Rant over!

Mine is when I'm mowing the road frontage, and some AH wants to stop in the middle of an active traffic lane, on one of the state's busiest 2 lane roads, and ask me directions.  I generally point to the ear plugs, and shake my head, but have been known to flip a 180º turn, and spray them with grass clippings!
