Baksteen 84 #151 March 13, 2009 People that reply to an OP without first reading the entire thread. [rant] This is especially annoying when a new skydiver posts about something that would be dangerous. Before you know it, the thread gets a lot of replies ranging from 'you dumb fuck' to 'perhaps you shouldn't do that because X and Y'. When the OP subsequently has posted several bloody times that they have seen the error of their ways you STILL get these 'you dumb fuck'-replies, which are at that point even more contra-productive than ever.

popsjumper 2 #152 March 13, 2009 Mother Mary in traction! One of my very worst pet peeves...people with no medical training who rush out to gawk at an accident. Had you been on-site when Bob Hollar was killed you would know exactly what I mean and why I feel this way. YOU BOZOS WITH NO MEDICAL TRAINING STAY THE HELL AWAY! AT THE VERY BEST, YOU'RE EXPOSING YOURSELF AS THE WORST OF ALL ASSHOLES.My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

Jewels 0 #158 March 13, 2009 - Not lining up paper so it's straight before stapling; - Leaving staples that you've pulled out lying around on the counter instead of dropping them in the trash can that's less than a foot away; - People who ride your bumper because they don't like the speed you're going. The speed limit is the same in the left lane as it is in the right. I don't habitually drive in the left lane on the highway in the first place, but even if I'm there and just going the speed limit, get off my fender! I pay taxes to use the roads too--both lanes of it. - Men who wear the waist of their pants somewhere half-way down their rear ends or women who think that low cut pants are sexy but don't also notice that their muffin top negates all that. - Restaurants that turn off the hot water in the bathrooms. Come on, how sanitary is that???TPM Sister #102 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you are merely going to go the speed limit....get the fuck out of the passing lane and let me take my chances with the cops. They are there to control the speed on the road, and it is not your job to act as the little speed control person in the left hand lane. On the same note, if I am out there doing 80, and someone blinks their lights behind me, I'll move over as soon as I get a clear spot in traffic to let them roll on. Don't ride in the god damned left lane. Slower traffic keep right is NOT that hard of a concept to understand. /Stupid mother fuckers. On that note...I think I just hate stupid people.

Jewels 0 #163 March 13, 2009 Uhh, thanks. I know people get irked by drivers in the left lane. In Colorado, the left lane on the highway is really supposed to be used just for passing, not traveling. People don't really use it that way, though, although I try to. Still, if I'm going faster than the traffic in the right-hand lane but not exceeding the speed limit, I think using the left lane is okay. Oh--and for safety reasons, perhaps the SPEEDERS should slow down. If you're going so fast that the slow speed of other drivers is a danger on the highway, perhaps the slow drivers aren't the problem.

If you're passing traffic that's in the R lane, that's fine. If you are riding even up with them and just putzing along...well, move the hell over. There are people in this world that actually have stuff to do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do use the left lane only for passing, but if someone is coming up behind me as I am passing a slower-moving vehicle, I am not going to accelerate even more just to get out of their way. They can damn well maintain a safe distance, and as soon as I've cleared the slower-moving vehicle, I'll get over. Since when is the road more theirs than mine? Speed all you want, but wait til you're not riding someone's ass to do so. Talk about idiots. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

popsjumper 2 #174 March 13, 2009 Quote Much longer when some jackass is riding my bumper. Funny how that works, eh? Must be the suction of the draft or something. Front cars always seem to go slower when there is a rear car on their ass. I know...it's physics. The speed of the front car is inversely proportional to the number of cars piled up behind them.My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.
