When I'm painting at home, why does the paint roller have to walk its way off the handle???
Why are so many things too heavy to carry into the basement? I swear the top of the basement stairs is a collecting spot for anything over 20lbs.

I noticed the ones that are totally 100% in the wrong give the dirtiest looks and loudest profanity as though YOU have the problem, and "wrong".
I said it before - our traffic laws aren't near Draconian enough, like in Europe. Or even tougher.

I noticed that on my older cars, they had automatic headlights, even on the lower trim levels. My new vehicles all have manual ones. Maybe that’s a trend - people got used to having auto headlights, and now they are not as common...

Obviously that person sees you, but the next guy might not, he might pullout to pass a tractor trailer, not see you coming the other way until its's too late, snuff you out with his big black dodge dually.
Been daytime running lights for years now, people are conditioned to see lights, they don't see lights, even on bright sunny days, they will pull out in front of you, seen it happen more than once.

Ya the last second left turn signal is a bad one. How about when you're waiting to pull out and at the last minute, the guy puts his signal on, so you could have went the whole time but now you're waiting for another opening.
I wish there was a website where you could rate people's driving skills and etiquette.

Funny how a person can sense when someone is wanting in your lane a lot of the time, I don't know how many times I've predicted a guy is going to cut in, and its maybe 1/100 that actually turn on the signal before moving over. The tailgaters coming out of the merge exits get me too, they must own the road.
There are a few cars you get to recognize as time goes by, going home about the same time every nite, one lately, is one that doesn't have his lights on most of the time, just dayliters, but does have reflectors on the bottom of the bumper. It must be rocket science.

How bout when someone puts their signal light on to show intent, and you back off to let them in and it takes them ten minutes to make the lane change.

(No wonder there's so much road rage/bad drivers...)
You guys need to relax, drive defensively and try to help others.
This thread is a perfect example of why testing needs to be done on renewals.

Easy solution, be a NICE neighbour and give them a Webasto heater for their truck

Why is it that on the ONE night of the year devoted to joy & peace & goodwill to men, everyone want to complain about others? (like me)

I shut off amber alerts , it seems that they always seem to be sent in the middle of the night.

I think it was this procedure. The first one I found online didn't work.
https://www.tomsguide.com/us/samsung...ew-2821-9.html
If they came as regular texts, I would look at them in the morning, like I look at any other text, but it's not as if I am going to be able to do anything about the alert at 3am.
