This should be fun.. What really gets on your nerves or has happened on road trips?

Old people.. It seems 90% of them drive extremely slow(yea yea.. they cant see or react quick so they drive slow). Seems the other 10% are speed demons(go you!)

Assholes who leave their cars running or smoke cigs while pumping gas.

I hate the middle part of road trips and I commonly take trips of 10+ hrs either to NY or SFL. I hate them so much. I hate when my wife wants to drive, cuz I hate riding shotgun. She's learned not to ask anymore though.

Tell us how you really feel ;)

Lol

I'm right there with you on riding shotgun, just not going to happen...

Stopping at the bank, and then the gas station "on the way out of town."

BTW, I fill up with the car running all the time, even do it while talking on my cellphone. Why would that bother anyone, is anyone so dense as to actually think that there is a risk of the car or gas station catching fire, or are you just hype green?

That's funny, I hate when my wife wants to drive 'cause she drives like a crazy person. I love to relax and let someone else drive, so long as they drive in a way that reassures me I'll live through the experience.

I hate eating on road trips because it makes me sleepy, and I hate that I can't pee in a gatorade bottle while I'm driving if anybody else is in the car.

I hate people parking their cars blocking a gas pump then going inside to do 30 minutes of browsing before paying for $10 in gas and $20 in lottery tickets and getting out of the stinking way. Use a credit card and get out of my way.

"Honey, you are not in your patrol car.........."
LOL, love it.

Left lane bandits.
Hurry, cut me off to get in front of me and slow down or turn.
Get out of my blind spot. I moved over so you could pass.
People simply not paying attention. Doing everything but driving. Like pissing in a bottle while driving 80mph... Sorry I couldn't resist. :)
I-95, every last mile of it.
pay before you pump, grrr.
My wife can't drive long distances thank god. She is a good driver but I just can't take being a passenger. It's me not her, really.

People who just have to rush out in front of me then take forever to get up to the common speed.

If you are going to cut in front of me from a standing start, you had better have something that accelerates faster than my POS truck so I do not end up riding my brakes TWICE for your impatient ass.

Potholes when I'm pissing in a bottle. Running out of beer. Over priced truck stop hookers. Gettin gonorrhea off the toilet at the rest stop.

...
Finally someone that feels my pain. LOL. Its getting hard to be a trucker anymore.

Also waking up at 6 am in a VA rest area and having to get fully dressed and make the hundred yard dash to the bathroom whilst trying not to crap myself.

BTW, its 620am now. I made it and I'm still in here so I can type this out on my phone.

Horrible radio stations... My iPod dying... Slow drivers... Road work... My woman... Smokers that I don't allow to smoke in my car that want to stop every 20 miles to smoke... Lack of adequate gun stores at my destination

Cruising 85-90 in the left hand lane and people running up my ass because they want to go 100.
So, you're one of those left lane bandits or are you the speed police? The left lane is for passing, not cruising. The folks going 65-70 in the left lane think about you the same way.
George Carlin said it best, " Ever notice that everyone going slower than you is a moron and everyone going faster than you is an idiot".

When there is a long line in the hammer lane and some impatient ass has to pass on the right to cut you off and cause everyone to slam on the brakes to keep from having a pile up. And in the end they are in the same long line only one or two car lengths further along than they were.

The tailgaters are great to, they won't stay on me long as I will lay on the windshield washing fluid till they back off. Works like a charm.

I owned a trucking company & I drove a truck for years. I hate to think about all the miles I drove. But, I've always hated how people drive around major metro areas. They're fracking maniacs. Always in a hurry to go NOWHERE. Thinking their life is somehow so important, they can break all the traffic laws & endanger every other person on the road.

I'll take the slow moving granny in the fast lane over the friggin' manics trying to break the sound barrier while weaving in & out of ALL the lanes of traffic, THEN cutting you off while SLAMMING on the brakes to try and make their exit, any day of the week!

Another thing I didn't like about being a truck driver was the lane restrictions around the big cities. 99% of the trucks moving through cities are going other places. So, give the through lanes to the TRUCKS instead of restricting them to the right lane where ALL the traffic is trying to merge. (DUMB! DUMB!)

IMHO; this would greatly help reduce "gridlock"; AND it would eliminate a LOT of accidents on the freeway. Let the "local" traffic, commuting to & from work keep the TWO right lanes & have the truck stay LEFT unless "entering" or "exiting" the freeway.
