People with a 1min timeout on their laptop screensaver that keeps going off again and again while they are going through something with you on said laptop.

I hate it when I get the green arrow to turn left and have to wait on the d-nozzle planted in the middle of the intersection who was waiting on the last oncoming car to pass under the red light.

Wouldn't the dooshnozzle be the guy that ran the yellow and kept the other driver from turning left?

When did people stop pulling into the intersection when waiting to turn left? Lately I'm going nuts with people sitting at the line in the turn lane. Absolutely kills me.

Man, I was taught not to pull out into the intersection. Dont know what the law is actually. Reasoning was if an emergency vehicle needs to get thru the intersection (From your left to your right), that you would be blocking.

Nobody would ever be able to take a left at even a moderately busy intersection. You pull into the intersection so that at least one car behind you can also make a left on the light because they were able to partially pull into the intersection.

There's no such thing as "running a yellow."

Please explain. The law in Illinois is that if you are approaching the intersection and it turns yellow you must stop if you can do so safely. I read that to mean that if it turns yellow and you proceed when you could have stopped safely, you are "running the yellow."

I'm not aware of any state where you will you get a ticket if you have entered the intersection while the light is still yellow. Whether to stop is at the discretion of the driver, even as you've stated it. So you cannot "run" a yellow light. A ticket issued under that or a similar law would be for failure to yield.

This is why in studies of areas that have put in red light cameras, accident rates actually rise from people that should have just gone through a yellow slamming on their brakes to avoid camera tickets (well, that and those bastards tend to make the timing of the yellow shorter, which has been the subject of at least one lawsuit I know of).

Regardless, if you have a green light and are waiting for traffic to pass to make a left turn, it's not the fault of a driver legally entering the intersection if you get stuck out in the middle of the intersection, since you are required to yield to oncoming traffic (even people with a yellow light).

Sure there is. It's a colloquialism and I doubt there's a single person on this board that doesn't know what the phrase means.Eta: I never said there was any legal aspect to it, just driving courtesy.

Yes, you can. I just explained how.

 
Aerial coverage of dome stadiums and enclosed arenas

Christmas music before Thanksgiving

Bringing a laptop to every meeting

Peyton Manning saying "hurry hurry!" before every snap

Posting every minor milestone of your baby on Facebook

 
I hate how they've started putting internet ads on the borders of pages. CNN does this a lot. I use dual monitors and I've gotten in the habit over the past 15 years of when I come back to a monitor, clicking on the margins of the page to activate it again so I can scroll up and down. Apparently advertisers caught on and are taking advantage of that because I end up opening at least 10 ads a day by accident flipping back and forth to screens.

Seriously. I just don't get it. Such a waste of fuel on the blimp. They could literally burn hundreds in a can for hobos and that would serve more purpose than that aerial coverage.

Wait... how did it...

 
I'm sure I've mentioned it, but there is nothing kitschy or clever about the Wilhelm Scream. Find a new thing to run into the ground, media nerds.

 
Long sleeve t-shirt? Or are you talking about a button-down? Huge difference here.
