You know what burns my butt:
Coming to work today I hit the cruise control to 75 (loop 101)
which is about normal for the time of day for everyone to drive at.
I'm in the fast lane no one around me anywhere so this girl rolls up behind me so fast I must not have noticed her and rides my bummer so close that I didn't even know she was there (I drive a taller truck) and she was in this small civic like thing. I finnally noticed her and moved over only for her to blast past me. She then moves over in front of me and slows down .......well I moved over and she moves over in front of me all the mean while slowing down when we got to 60miles and hour. I became alittle upset with the fact she was messing with me in her little beater box. I realize now that is was futile/reckless to do since my exit was only 3 miles up the road but I floored all 380 horses my wee little truck had and blew around her and took off. I felt better after that
That is what burns my butt.

(please keep in mind there was still no one else on the highway except me and her so no one other then my own fool self was in danger) thankyou and have a nice day. :rolleye1:
 
Thankfully you don't have the flashy flashies on your stretch of the 101! :)

I have to add the fact that ppl can't merge! Hello, we aren't all in one lane for our heath! Those lane ends signs aren't there by accident! :mad2:
 
one thing that burns my butt is people who do dangerous things with motor vehicles. Maybe its just self preservation or maybe it is the result of having worked in a level 3 trauma center but honestly, whatever it is that is so annoying or causing one to be in such a damned hurry etc, it isn't worth it. these folks are playing with their lives & those of everyone around them. dumb dumb dumb! And road rage, don't even get me started. people caught performing acts of road rage should have their liscenses revoked perminantly. Oh, and drunk drivers. Throw away the key! I was almost 30 before I ever lost a friend to anything besides being the victim of a drunk driver. In my book, there is no excuse whatsoever.

I agree couple years back I was behind three guys on those croch (sp) rockets they were all talking to eachother and then gave themselve thumbs up and when the light went green they all popped wheelies and the one on the right hand side fell into the middle one then into the right hand one. the left one fell over right in the middle of the road the other two went into on coming traffic the guy in the middle hit a car and the guy on the right hit the curb and up the grass. they looked pretty messed up but not deathly hurt. Just stupid and on a crowded street no less.

Doesn't only have to be about driving can be about anything. :D

Ohh yes we do but they go 80 so they ussually passing me.
 
It's just an Arizona thing. Go to California, they drive faster and the traffic flows. It's so easy, slower traffic move right. If everyone just did that things would be much easier. In California they give tickets for doing the speed limit, if you are slowing traffic because your in the HOV lane and everyone else wants to to 85 while your doing 65 you get the ticket. If your slower move right and pass. If you get passed to the right of you, either speed up or move over. If this was enforced here you wouldn't see half the accidents on the freeways you do now.

We also have tractor trailers that use every lane, just plain stupid.

People here think putting on your blinker to get in front of them is a challenge to them so they go faster. To be able to merge in this state requires you not to use your signal.

I was on the 101 headed south doing about 80 and wanted to get into the HOV lane, I turned on my turn signal and was about to merge when the guy in the HOV lane in what I call the wing man position decided that was time to floor it. So I wait and he passes, I go to get over and the guy behind me floors it and goes in to the HOV lane and floors it past me. I again wait for this guy to pass when the guy who was behind him decides to do the same thing. I end up flooring it going in to two lanes over to the right and getting the car up to a 100 then getting over and around the traffic in front of me and merged into the HOV lane in front of the first guy. Lesson learned : don' t use your signal!

I'm a native... but everyday I hate this state more and more.

The tailgating thing is getting out of control, makes me want to buy and old beater and wire up the brake switch to the gas and vs. versa.

In Surprise we have your typical guy like me that does 5-10 over, Senior Citizens that do 5-10 under, Farm equipt that does 5-10mph and illegals that don't know kph from mph. It's a nightmare.

I can't wait, they are building a new auto mall a mile or two down the road from me on Cotton lane, LOL< this is going to be hilarious, one way each way, your gonna have tractor trailers unloading cars and farm equipt going down the road at 10mph. Wow I hope they get the 303 fixed quick.

p.s. I started to car pool so I can just close my eyes and ignore the traffic.

Sorry... end gripe...
 
For the record, in Arizona the left lanes are for through traffic, not *necessarily* for faster traffic. Just saying :)

I would much rather drive here than in California, as I cannot stand CA drivers. They gun up around people waiting to merge in construction, they ride your butt on the freeway, and they are generally all-around jerks on the road. Maybe it's just Los Angeles area drivers. I don't know. Between them and Utah drivers I'm glad I live here right now.

But what really gets me is people on the road when I'm trying to ride my bike. I don't mean to start an anti-cyclist thread (although I'm sure I will), but when you see a cyclist in the right hand lane or bike lane, he/she is entitled to the full lane/bike lane. Nothing annoys me more than jerks JUST BARELY edging past me or cutting me off because they are in such a hurry to get to the McDonalds down the road or wherever they're going. The riders you see breaking the law are by far the minority -- most of us are out to be healthy and save fuel, and follow the applicable road laws as much as any car in the process.

End gripe by me too :-D
 
I hate traffic all togther. I use to drive my gf to work everyday for the first 6 months we moved to mesa. I use to live in glendale. so my gf's work was 101 and northern. from where we live to her work was almost 60 miles there and 60 miles back. I was cut off, tail gated, hit, pushed, flipped off, guns waved at me, ect. took me a total of 2 to 3 hrs to take her to work and come home. now my gf works at 51st ave and lower buckeye, for AAA of arizona, I tried driving her there everyday and just got to the point were I wanted to kill every driver on the road. now for my gf she's out there in a light service truck from 4 am till 4 pm fighting with every jack arous on the road just to change thier tire, give them gas, unlock thier car, jump start them, and some times even get them a new battery. Not to be mean or anything but AAA drives are some royal jerks. all she does is drive all day and the last thing she wants to do is have one of those falow mouth nasty drivers cut her off, yell at her, and some times even demean her. She is the nicest lady anyone could ever meet. so just imagine everything she goes through on a daily basis just to help AAA drivers out, She even uses money out of her own pocket to help AAA drivers out. so the next time you want to complain about driving remember there is always someone who makes a living driving and imagine what they go through. I feel so bad sometimes for her. God only knows that I don't make things easyer on her sometimes when she gets home. but I still do my best to remember that she's out there on the road 12 - 18 hrs a day helping drivers.

end of rant.

I "used" to ride my bike everywhere until I came to AZ. I've been hit twice and run off the road by a scooter in the bike lane ...>:/

the last straw was when I took a bike trail to a friends house and on the way back was riding in the evening and was just getting ready to fire up my head lights and hit a sidewalk..... a whole PEICE of sidewalk that somone between the time I came through the first time and then had dropped off right dead center of the trail .......it's been 3 years since I broke my shoulder, road rash all on my face shoulder through ym shirt and arm I haven't riden my bike since that day.... a $800 Raleigh M-80 currently is home to many spiders and random bugs. I no longer have the ability to lift 100% in my right arm becuase of some asshole whom decided to dump crap where it didn't belong :mad2:
 
Ooo, that sounds really bad. Sucks to hear about a wreck like that -- I have endoed from crap in the road or on trails too and it always hurts :) I've been run off the road and knocked around by cars too. I even had a guy cut me off turning left in front of me so bad that I locked up my brakes and still put a dent in the passenger side of his pickup truck. Scared his wife half to death, and when he got out to yell at me for denting his truck (after I picked myself up) I offered to call the police myself. At that point his wife got out and basically forced him back in the truck.

Me 1, mystery truck driver 0 :cool:

Dolly: "You know what burns my butt?"

Burt Reynolds: "No what?"

Dolly: "Oh a flame about two foot high."

hmmm....I feel the need to clarify these last eight years.

Every inch of my body has dropped, sagged, wilted, wrinkled and plain 'ol gone downhill.

My entire body (not just my butt) has been known to burn, burn, burn as in FLASHES.

So do you think my menopause is almost over???? ;)

YiPEEEeeeeee!!!!!

OK.....so maybe after reading your response it isn't just the menopause? :smokin:


:D :D :D
