Justifying the use of a cell phone while driving - and yes, stopped at a light is still driving - as 'having a life' is particularly stupid.
Well yeah

Okay, you're right. I'll be sure to put my car in park and turn it off next time I'm at a 5 minute light here in Dallas

Seeing my credit score drop because my ex was late in paying a $124 month student loan payment that I was the co-signer on years ago. :evil:
How is this even legal?
When you're a co-signer on a private student loan (and probably all other loans) it's as if you took out the loan. If she stops paying they would come after me and the best I could do is go to court ($$$) and try to get her to pay as she agreed to in the divorce settlement.

The A/C turns on every day at 11:30, regardless of the temperature in the office.

Just went from about 70 to 45.

In Windows 10, the 'lock' screen is a rotating landscape/cityscape screen. When I open my laptop, the screen is black with the time and a "LIKE THIS PICTURE?" question in the top right. I have to 'wake up' the PC so then the unlock screen comes up and I can see the picture. I can't determine if I like it or not because I can't see until that option goes away. drives me nuts.

This was almost my whole drive home from my dek game:

Woman in Subaru going 40 in a 45 in the left lane. I go to pass on right because that's where I'm at and we were all going 50ish.

Woman in Subaru speeds up to pass me, but ends up speed matching before I get stuck behind another car, then hits her brakes at the top of the hill by Sheetz while I try to pass the other car on the left.

Woman in Subaru merges to right, goes back down to 40.

I go to pass, because I am still maintaining speed. Woman in Subaru speeds up as I pass.

Going down hill on 19 past NASH. Car going 40 in right lane (my lane). I slow down because I want to stay in that lane. Woman in Subaru tries to pass me, then speed matches me and tries to merge into me.

Get to McKnight. Woman in Subaru slows back down again. Then speeds back up to catch me at McCandless Crossing light.

Really frustrating.

When someone says "that doesn't make that person look good if he really did murder someone"... it's like no duh.

How about just saying, wow that's illegal as fruitcake after Christmas. That person should go to jail.
Why is that never on the table for these people? Why must they dance around saying it? It makes me feel like they don't understand the gravity of the situation.
Like they're. ..slow. .. but I'm probably wrong. Maybe I'm missing something.

I want to know why they thought mentioning how bad it looks for the person is worse than that person going to jail. They are essentially saying the same thing since the bad they reference is most likely going to jail.
But their slant is towards how that person will be perceived by the rest of society.

It's just weird. .

This is legit grounds for a fender tap, imo. If I owned my car outright, I might be tempted to PIT Little Miss Subaru.

Yes. That's infuriating, and it creates an unnecessary danger. So..... remove the danger.

When the credits roll at the end of a movie and the network scrunches them so they can promote another upcoming movie or show.

In this example, we had Back to School recorded as an emergency 1 1/2 hour comedy watch, and as soon as the credits roll, scrunch, 'Coming up next on Starz, a new ultra violent blood and gore series, and here is a preview' as some dude gets his head chopped off.

Well, there goes the mood of laughter and fun...

coworkers that have been working together for 5+ years and refuse to get their name right/spell wrong in email: diane/diana, rochelle/rachelle, etc. its one the rudest/laziest things to me especially since when you are sending or receiving an email from them it pops up correctly. drives me insane

I had a boss who would send emails or other correspondence with incorrectly spelled names and I would work to review the list and make corrections.

She scolded me for wasting time because "they know what I meant." Drove me crazy because I too believe it is rude and lazy.

She retired and I now have her job.

Woman in a black Hyundai was texting from Blvd of the Allies to when I passed her on 279N getting off at the McKnight/Evergreen exit.

So infuriating. She never broke 45 on 279. Lot of cars had to weave around her. Would intermittently hit her brakes at random on Veterans, then almost drift into the other lane.

How can you be so self-absorbed?

She's like Godric and has a life. She can't be expected to actually bring her texting to a halt when she's behind the wheel of a 4,000 pound weapon, geez.
