Pull up farther - I can't stand it when I fall just short of getting into a turn lane or a driveway because some idiot feels the need to leave 1 1/2 car lengths at a red light.

Entrance ramps - These are specifically designed for you to get up to speed with interstate traffic. Entering the highway at 40 miles per hour is a bad idea!! So is slowing down in the highway lane before you get on to the exit ramp. Again, exit ramps, specifically built for slowing down.

Texting while driving - Do I really need to articulate here.

Making me listen to your music - I have a convertible, this means I am often subjected to the music of others because they seem incapable of finding the volume button. Thanks, I had a hankering for 2Pac today.

Taking up 2 parking spaces - One of my favorite people does this. I still don't approve. Do you really think that you're better than everyone? If you're at the end of the lot, OK, but right up front?? Thanks douchebag.

Pulling out - not the naughty kind. I mean the one where someone feels the need to pull out in front of you even though there's a mile of clear road behind you.

The New York honk - Heaven forbid I am still stationary the millisecond after the light turns green. Honk all you want, I'm making sure the red light running idiots have cleared the intersection, thank you very much.

The intersection blocker - It's happened to all of us, you misjudge the distance of the cars moving ahead and get stuck in the middle of the intersection, feeling sheepish, giving the oopsie wave. There is however a whole class of people that do this purposefully! They also illegally block side streets at a red light.

Riding on the shoulder - No one thinks twice about "going around" a left turner. I'm talking about the traffic jam on I-4 where some weasel in a Porsche rides by on the shoulder (He's got places to be!) This actually happened to me once and you should have seen the hooting and horn honking as we passed Porsche-boy stopped by a State Trooper about a mile up - Folks were literally rolling down their windows and HOO-YAing the cop.

Riding my ass - Enough people ride my ass all day, would it kill you to back up a few feet?

Old People - there comes a point in time where you should be required to surrender your drivers license. Hey DMV can we have eyesight checks every two years for people over 80? The slow swerving straining to see over the steering wheel blue hairs are as bad as teenagers.

I got an idea - How about an EMP type of device that disables the power of all cell phones, MP3 players and electronic devices in a teenagers car? Why settle at teenagers, I see adults with laptops and electronic razors all the time.

Makeup application while driving - Is your time management is so poor that you can't find time to beautify at home? I'm not talking to the gal that touches up her gloss at a red light. I'm talking to the bimbo so bought into her own looks that she does full face makeup while in motion. I hope you jab yourself in the eye with that mascara brush.

Reading while driving - I can't think of a book or newspaper so important that it can't wait til I arrive at my destination. Consult a map? Sure. Reading Twilight on your way to work... you're an idiot.

Motorcycles are everywhere - I ride and people who don't can be so disrespectful. These idiots put my life in danger almost every time I ride. Can you please keep in mind that there are no "fender-benders" on a bike and by doing all of the things I mentioned above you run the risk of KILLING ME.
