If I miss a turning whilst driving and it's my fault I don't fuck people up behind me by sitting in the lane trying to push into another lane. Instead I drive to another turning; sometimes increasing my journey by over five minutes.
When I'm turning at lights I always try to stay as close to the car in front of me, safety permitting, in order to allow the people behind me the greatest chance of getting through the intersection on that green.
I always close dripping taps when I see them.
I don't swear in public (although I have no trouble swearing here).
In our office there is always one thing left to eat, like a doughnut or a sandwich, left out because people are either too polite to eat the last one or don't want to be the one who has to clean up the plate. I always eat it out of principle.
I try and get my emails and, to a lesser extent, my forum posts grammatically correct with good spelling.
What have you done!

Driving:
- If I'm in the rightmost lane in heavy traffic, and I notice a car trying to get ahead by driving down the right shoulder and pretending it's a lane, I will adjust my car to block that person behind me. Fuck you dude, wait in the proper lane like everyone else.
- If I notice a person speeding or being an asshole generally (not using their blinkers, cutting people off) and I am ahead of them, I will do whatever I can to pull them into a trap. For instance let's say I'm in the fast lane and there's a car to my right, and the speeding asshole is coming up behind me. I will drive up a bit to get the guy to think there will be an opening where he can slip by, but then I will match speed with the car in the next lane, so that the guy is unable to pass. Usually they ride my ass for a few miles and then finally hit the brakes and try going around. If they get by they speed off as fast as they can. I really can't wait for the day when I see those assholes get pulled over for driving like that.

quit it, jerkwad. You're making people hustle to the door so THEY don't feel bad. If the door would close on its own before the next person got there, don't hold it open.

Question: If you are doing a U-Turn, do you use your turn signal? Its most likely just me, but when I make a U-Turn, I do not use my turn signal, to try and communicate I am not going to be making a left turn.
I tend to try and do this, but I started getting really pissed yesterday when I didn't notice some people behind me and they start talking bad about me for not holding the door for them. Its a push door at that, it shouldn't matter if you have a "lot of stuff in your hands" (Which was 2 whole text books), you are also with a group of people, they could hold the door open for you if it was such a problem rather thne you complaining for about as long as it took me to type this rant complaining about your complaining.

i don't do U-Turns.. seems sorta shady
Whenever a friend incorrectly states something about a product I always correct them.
"These headphones (skullcandy) are incredible!"
"The Challenger is the best car ever."
"This game (Vanquish) doesn't look that good."
"The Unreal Engine is the most realistic looking one."
What does it matter? If you're in the left lane chances are you're only moving when you have a turning arrow. Thus even if you turn left or make a U turn you're not really holding any traffic up, so it's not a big deal whether or not you use your signal for either option.
Him and the guy who always refers to hipsters are awful joke posters.

I just want to say you are fighting the good fight my friend, keep it up. And when they day comes that you DO see one of those assholes pulled over, it is indeed very sweet.timetokill said:
I drive up from Southern to Northern California a fair bit, and it is the rare trip where you do not see at least 4 or 5 of these jagoffs along the way. One time there was an old white pickup truck, like an '88 Toyota, and the guy was doing 110 easily any time there was an open stretch. Even when cars and big rigs would bunch up he would keep pushing too fast and would weave in and out at high speeds like a total fucktard. There were a few other cars including myself who kept trapping this ass like you described but he always eventually got loose and sped off.
So we don't see him for a good 30 or 40 miles and then all of the sudden as we pass an offramp in the middle of nowhere, we see a CHP officer walking up to the pulled over white pickup. I look over to my left and one of my "teammates" who helped me slow this ass down was laughing and pointing at him and giving me a huge thumbs up in celebration. After dealing with countless dumb fucks like this it really felt good to finally see one of them caught.

I'm the same way. Proper grammar is a must to me, especially in the e-mail/forum realm. I can somewhat understand it on a text message, but if you have a slide out keyboard, I expect some punctuation in that shit.

I can agree to this.
-I try to be nice to people even if I don't like them. Well... not nice, but decent. I figure even though I hate your fucking guts, there's no reason why I shouldn't respond to your annoying "good mornings".
-Liars and cheats are rarely forgiven. Often times one lie is all it takes for me to put you in the piece of shit that I must go through the motions with, as though they are an actual human being, when I interact with them category.
-I do things that I really don't want to do and sometimes could probably get away with not doing. I hate lazy pieces of shit and hypocrites though, so half the time it's my principles that make me do those things I don't want to do to avoid being considered lazy and through that a hypocrite.

Well, I guess you're as good a person to ask as any. How does one get those permanent-looking stickers off one's laptop? You know, the ones that identify your gpu, processor and OS.blame space said:

The first is commendable. The second is fucking despicable. Just get over in the right lane, let the car pass you, and continue on with your day. You trying to play games on the highway is far more infuriating to the people just trying to drive than anybody going over the speed limit. It's not a video game, you don't get points, you don't win by "setting traps" for other drivers.

Same here, as well as the seatbelt thing and the trapping people thing.ultron87 said:
The thing with the driving is that I typically do 10 over when I drive. But if I see someone driving like an asshole, i.e. I see someone weaving in and out of traffic and think to myself "What an asshole...", I try to dick them over when they catch up to me.

And really, the same deal goes for turn signals. If you are not in the habit of signaling when changing lanes (even when no one is around) and other seemingly pointless situations (at least on the surface), you are going to turn into someone who signals only 1/2 the time when it's actually important and maybe even turn into one of those fucking idiots that only uses their turn signal as they're getting onto an exit ramp and leaving it on the whole fucking way through the thing. I think that pisses me off the most because it's so pointless, and then once they get off the ramp and need to merge, the turn signals are now off and they just weave around into their lane in front of people. </rant>

I, too, also remove all those store anti-theft tags from whatever I buy as soon as I get home.
Much more irritatingly to some, however, I'm also that guy who ALWAYS steps into a retail establishment situation where there is either:
a) some poor customer who looks completely lost in an area where I have sufficient knowledge to help them, or:
b) some idiot salesperson is failing to clearly meet the needs of a customer when deciding on a purchase.
I'm convinced that hell will be a huge retail establishment, wherein Satan and his minions will be constantly pushing a higher priced piece of electronics than I want to by, all the while constantly espousing the value of an extended store warranty...:lol

Well, that's kind of different - being in the habit of not signaling when turning into a driveway vs a generalized habit of not signaling when no one is around. I cannot really imagine a scenario (unless you turn across traffic, and even then...) where that would matter as much. I signal turning into my court, but once I'm in, I don't signal to turn into my parking spot or anything. I think most people do that regardless.

I haven't bought one in a long time, but at a point Best Buy's own product replacement plan was worthwhile for a couple things. I had a nice joystick that starting going bad, and I locked in full cost of the item when I got the plan at time of purchase. I made money off of the plan. I think that's the only plan I've bought, though.
