11. Motorcyclists enjoy being obnoxious by unnecessarily revving their engines

Oh really? We're all obnoxious, huh? Nice. BTW, on occassion I DO rev the engine. Why? Because sometimes you can tell the soccer mom on her cell phone driving the SUV behind you or turning at the intersection across you path doesn't even see you. Can't count the number of times I've seen the startled wide-eyed shocked look when they realize they were about to drive right over me. (Actually, not -- I'm prepared to evade in that situation, but doing so would often require an illegal move. But we're all lawbreakers anyway, so maybe I should just do that from now on.)

Loud pipes can save lives. But since we're all obnoxious, I guess that's unnecessary, eh?

Been there, seen that “OMG, Tiffany! Like a nasty biker just like, viciously roared their motor at me, fer shure!” stupid blank ferret amazement look too many times.
They don’t even bother pulling the cell phone off their empty heads.

[usually when I’m passing highway on-ramps, minding my own damn business]

Proudly “obnoxiously” still alive in spite of innumerable idiots,
