Simply list your everyday grievances with like-minded others (hopefully with some funnies thrown in). My first major gripe:

People who swing their arms too much when walking and you have to half-twerk behind them just to avoid getting punched in the nuts. Or worse, get cupped.

People who smoke while walking along a crowded side walk

People who use a ton of change to buy something, go to the bank and get some bills

People who don't use their blinker

People who ride your bumper, then pass you only to slow back down

Golfers who don't yell FOUR

..............people who misuse the word four, for fore.

I'm not sure if it's common in the States but left lane drivers here (at least in Ontario) are maddening.  Just outside the town we live in has a regional road where the old farts get out in the left lane and just sit there.

We also have round-a-bouts in our new sub-division which apparently cause people here to just totally lose all common sense. It's like they just suddenly drove into a foreign country and don't know how to drive. Even if you've never driven in one, everything you need to know is right in front of you.  A yield sign entering and a one way sign. What more do these people need?!

People who whine........

Oh, I can't stand whiners either, complaining all the time.  There's always something that annoys these people................................ wait, what?

I once had a big discussion with a guy about this.  There definitely seems to be two schools of thought.  So - at what speed does this become maddening?  That is to say, what if they are driving slower than you, but they are at or above the speed limit?

It's all relative. The right lane is for cruising, and the left lane is for passing. If you are not passing someone or about to in the near future... get out of the left lane.

If it is wide open, I think almost everyone would agree on that - and we're all mad at the old farts.  But the part in bold is very subjective and probably where most of the problems come from.  Possibly an endless argument with no clear solution.

That's terrible.  I take it they live in an urban situation?  I can't imagine that near where I live.

I think if you're in the left lane and someone approaches, you need to move right. As soon as you see them in your rear view mirror.

Maybe that's part of the problem, they don't use their mirrors?

I don't know about other states but it is the law in PA on divided highways, yet I spend my life passing drivers on the right.

And why don't some people make a left turn from a turning lane when there is nobody coming from the other direction? WTF is up with that? TURN, DUDE! Some of us have somewhere to go!

When I first moved into my neighborhood, I noticed cigarette butts on my front lawn when I was cutting the grass. It was 5-6 of them in a pile every week. One day, my wife was home and she saw my neighbor's mother smoking and leaving her butt on our lawn (she was watching their kids while they worked). I had to tell my neighbor (he didn't know she was smoking) and got the stinkeye whenever I saw his Mom after that, but at least she stopped doing it.

Golf related...People who stand around and crowd the first tee while your group is up, like you are somehow holding them up.
