I prefer to load my own

Euphemism?

I know this has been all but covered, but I am just SO sick of bad drivers. I've noticed more out there lately. Anyone else?

Mind-numbing.

Examples: driving 30 in a 45, taking forever to make a protected left turn when there's a line of cars behind you, etc.

My least favorite are the drivers that ride your bumper trying to get you to move over. If you don't move, they make a dangerous move to the right,get in front of you and touch the brakes.

On the protected left turn, I do think there is a balance there. I get annoyed (and make liberal use of the horn) when the person in front of me is clearly just looking at their phone and not paying to the protected light arrow changing green, causing cars behind to miss the protected arrow.

But then the other day, I was the car in line where lost the protected arrow and I stopped to let the handful of cars in incoming traffic go before I could safely turn, and the car behind me honked at me for stopping and, I guess, not risking my life by playing chicken that oncoming traffic would not ram into me.

There's an epidemic here of 2-4 vehicles that continue to turn left after the protected left turn arrow has expired. They're just hoping someone in through traffic doesn't accelerate and t-bone them.

clothes with zippered pockets that don't need zippers on the pockets

who thought it would be a good idea to add zippered pockets on pajama pants? my fault for not noticing before dropping $12 on them and all but who in R&D said "i ****ing love scratching up my hands when i reach in to my pockets... let's do zippers with teeth made of knife points."

$12 pajama pants? La dee dah.

Speaking of pockets, is it too hard to make shorts where your phone wont fall out every time you get in the car?

Go to a tailor and have them add zippers to the pockets. That, or wear pajama pants.

That’s what the zippers are for.
