I saw a guy driving with a parrot on his shoulder the other day. No kidding. I am amazed that the "driving with pet in lap/or pet panting out the drivers side window slobbering up the glass" irritant didn't make the top ten. Number 3 on my personal list after cell phones and slowing down the hammer lane.

I've seen men shave while driving. I've also seen them read newspapers and other papers while driving at 60+ on a highway.
And yes, I've seen women doing their hair and makeup while driving as well.
I don't think distractions are confined to one gender.

People who are too dense to understand the simple fact that the posted speed limit applies to all lanes. Dunno where you might be, but if you drove at or below the speed limit on most eastern US highways, you'd be a clear and present danger on the road.

Why partake of a traffic jam if you don't have to. Hey, using that "logic", cars should be able to drive on the shoulder as well.
But that's OK - motorcyclists who pull that crap usually take themselves out of the gene pool eventually.

"These bastards are in a fraternaty. They leech tax money, demand more, harass citizenry, blacklist people, and get their rocks off making things inconvient for people who bothered to get an education and acutally become productive.
The mindset of someone who becomes a cop, in a large amount of cases, not all, must be one of hatefull revenge for the world that has wronged them.
"
Oh, for pete's sake! Cut it out! Kid on my street on a bicycle got clipped by a car, which then took off. I called 911, and I had a good description of the car. Two cop cars showed up within 2 minutes to look after the kid and another two cars caught the hit and run driver about 2 minutes after that.
This is in a major city.
The only one I can see who's got a serious problem with being hateful is you, my friend. I advise a chill pill. Take one twice a day.

My Top Two:
2) A driver in a cross street who turns onto my lane in front of me when there are no cars behind me. Why couldn't the driver wait another 15 seconds for me to pass before turning onto the road?
1) Drivers who toss cigarette butts out the window onto the road.

If people are passing you on the right, you're in the wrong dratted lane!!Usually. In the hilly area we live in there are often third lanes that open up on the right for slow traffic (read:trucks) going uphill. What really annoys me is the people who use the slow lane for uphill to pass you in when you're already going over the speed limit.

my biggest pet peeve is when you approach a red light and there are two lanes of traffic and once the light turns green then the idiot at the front of the line turns on the directional to take a left so everybody has to wait to go around him or they cut off the people in the right lane

I saw a guy driving with a parrot on his shoulder the other day. No kidding. I believe it but it is a cruel thing to do to your bird. I own a parrot who stays in her carrier when I take her in the car, buckled in (we've gone on multistate trips). What's going to happen to that bird if the driver has to brake hard? He won't like the vet bill.

My # 1 - People that have no clue HOW to merge and get p*ssed when I don't move over when I have no space to make room for them. That or when I'm forced to brake because they just assume that traffic will move out of their way.

I drove back home from Cape Cod yesterday, and while I didn't notice any slow drivers in the left lane, I did happen to see quite a few people talking on their cellphones while angrily tailgating to prevent someone else from passing them before switching lanes without signalling to get off at the next exit. In other words, a normal day on the road in Massachusetts.

I've never seen a a man shaving while driving. How many women have I seen putting on mascara or lipstick while driving?I actually did see a man shaving while driving. . .once. I see women grooming while driving pretty frequently. I have put on lipstick at a stoplight before, but NEVER when the car is moving.

I was almost run off the road by some dingbat talking on a cell phone.
A couple of years back, I was stopped at a very busy intersection in town, when a woman in the opposite turn lane, chatting away on a cellphone and oblivious to what was going on around her, stopped her Expedition a good 10-12 feet beyond the turn lane, almost in the middle of the intersection.
She continued to chat away on her cellphone, while angry commuters had to swing around her to get thru the intersection.
Not only did she completely ignore the honking horns and hand gestures, but she didn't even have the courtesy to back-up out of the intersection until her light turned green.
I have never seen such a display of arrogance like that.

If you're too old or too foreign or too dumb to drive like a normal human being, turn in your keys and take the bus! heheh... I'm glad im not the only one.. Since my company moved an additional 7 or 8 miles adding 30 minutes to my commute I find that I am the biggest bigot on the road. I'm tranformed into Mr Wheeler, when I get behind he wheel.

Women may not shave while driving but they sure do put on lipstick and other cosmetics. Sometimes using both hands! Shaving is safer, IMHO. I'm sure some woman has tried shaving while on the way to work. Of course, there'd be no way she could see out the windshield while she was doing it.
