View Full Version : MAD!!
I know the majority of you don't get mad to easily. http://www.freakygamers.com/smilies/s/ups/razor_wind/mumumani.gif
But what does get under your skin. http://www.freakygamers.com/smilies/s/cwm/cwm/angryfire.gif What is the one thing that really makes you mad? http://www.freakygamers.com/smilies/s/contrib/Bizkit/boom.gif
Ted Nugent 11-28-01, 05:21 PM When people say Milani was born in 1964. :)
I HATE it when people exspect things from other people. I almost never get mad, but when I do it's scarey to the on lookers. :)
When people say Milani was born in 1964.
1964.. I couldn't believe that one!! http://www.freakygamers.com/smilies/s/contrib/blackeye/reading.gif Hahaha
You were great for sticking up for me little guy.
That didn't make me mad!!
NO NOT IN THE LEAST!!! http://www.freakygamers.com/smilies/s/contrib/edoom/let_it_all_out.gif

I think that was the first time anyone on this board actaully made me mad. But, I restrained myself and didn't freak out....
Steve Savicki 11-28-01, 05:58 PM I read this thread because somehow I thought this was being aimed at me. :p ;) :p
Who knows? Maybe it is!? :eek: :D :eek: :D
No Steve we are just playing.
Does anything make you mad Steve?
Today I went to Wally World (Wal-Mart)
and i saw a mother beat the crap out of her son right in the middle of the store. IT really burned me up.
I wanted to say something, but what was i suppose to say? "Excuse me but quit hitting your child?"
I stood there and just watched her hit him for the second time. That was when i walked over and made myself known. She looked my way and grabbed the kid by the arm and walked away.
I wanted to grab that *&#$% by the hair and beat her the way she was beating that small child.
Steve Savicki 11-28-01, 06:07 PM Time to call child protective services!
Next time, get the mother's car license plate.
That's an awful thing to witness Milani. I'm glad she stopped when she saw you watching at least.
I'm basically a really laid back person, but I hate people telling me what to do.
My one sister especially takes my easy-goingness as a sign that I can't make any decisions for myself so she thinks she needs to guide me. She didn't think that I really wanted to marry my husband but somehow he'd tricked me into getting engaged because I wasn't strong enough to say no. :rolleyes: Her attitude toward the whole thing was the main reason we decided to elope instead of have the big wedding thing.
Another one was my in-laws when they found out our first child was going to be a boy, they assumed, and insisted that he be named after my husband. We had already had a name picked out, but they made my husband feel so bad for not carrying on the name tradition (he's the third) that he would've caved just to keep peace with his folks. But it pissed me off even more and I totally refused. If the idea had come from my hubby I would have been receptive to it, but not from them demanding that's what we do. It's our kid--we get to decide the name, not them.
It's our kid--we get to decide the name, not them.
I totally agree with you on that. You have every right to name your child what you want.
So what are you going to do?
I named my son after his father and now to tell you the truth I wish i didn't. He needs his own identy, his own special unique name.
People who drive recklessly on the road. In my opinion these people are endangering my life which in Texas gives you a right to defend yourself which means you can take another person's life in self defense of your own and we are able to carry concealed handguns! :mad:
I usually just curse to myself though because chances are in Texas, the other person has a gun too, and it is usually bigger with more bullets! :D
I know what you mean GMAN i use to live in Texas.
WILD
Yeppers... life sure can be exciting out here in the ol' west. :D

That was nearly six years ago. We went with the name my husband and I had decided on, (Ian), but gave him his dad/grandfather/great-grandfather's name as his middle name (William). We were happy with that as a compromise, but Bill's parent's weren't. They wanted all or nothing. I couldn't believe they brought it up again with our second child.
Now they've both passed away so if we have a third child at least I won't be getting to hear it again. That doesn't sound very nice does it? But it's the truth. :rolleyes:
Could never stand the In - Laws.. I am glad I am divorced and don't have to deal with them.

Amen sista! They hated me and I hated them right back! :cool:
What is it with In - Laws?
I dated a guy for 5 years, and his family hated me. They would call me at work to yell at me because my ex would call them and cry.
I hate nosey people.
I told them to get a life and stay out of mine. I don't do that.
My Ex-Ecute-Them-In-Laws were always just dropping by when ever the hell they felt like it and calling whenever and just adding their opinion about everything. The house, the cars, when can we have a grandchild, you don't need that, you need this, why do you do this to our daughter, this is what you are going to be doing this weekend, oh... did we interrupt somehting, why are you so late, why didn't you come over, can you loan us some money, sorry we can't pay you back, how about you spend your vacation with us, your tools suck, get a new this, and on and on and on and on... so, I had to cut them loose. ;)
That Guy Next Door 11-28-01, 08:53 PM Very short tempered so lottsa stuffs. stuffs I hate the most : Women treated badly ( this one is fer ya my afghan friend ! ), and electronic and mechanical devices/appliances resistin' me. tis' why I headbutted the cofee machine, why I had to change printer and the source of most of my problem. I even got my best friend mad at me ( she's the nicest most reliable person in the world, bar none ) cause I started a fight at her art school. Really was angry at myself. Should take anger management course. But they are stuffs that soothe me, like, metal concert, metalheads wiv spirit and attitude, my best friend ,death metal and lately, some boards on the web. In fact I like when things are under control and everyone knows his stuffs. So I guess it's all derived from the fact that I'm a wannabe control freak !
That Guy Next Door 11-28-01, 08:55 PM did I mention gangstas and hip hop bullies ?
RetroMan 11-28-01, 09:35 PM Cruely to animals get me VERY worked up. It's the single most thing that gets me very very angry! When I hear things in the paper about some foreign country who get animals to fight each other to the death for entertainment - it sends me into a fury!!
also stuff like bull fighting etc. I just love it when it gets out of control and the bull slams into the fighter and forks the Spainiard with it's horns - that's when I stand up and applaud! it's terribly in-humane what they do with the pins in the poor beast's back, serves them right!
To be lied to or ignored! :mad:
I do sorta have a small temper...must be the Italian in me. :rolleyes:

It really does take a lot to push me over the edge. Like a real lot. But when I tip, the Irish temper flares like a roman candle.
bogie, you're naughty!

well, to answer Milani, I don't stay angry long enough to post about it. She knows me. We'd have a beer and I'd find something funny. Because if you don't laugh much, you won't be as healthy and people will s** on you even more. don't you love this world?
Iluvthe80s 11-29-01, 12:10 AM I can have my moments where I get mad. I usually cool down real fast though.
....when people but into my business without an invitation. I HATE that!!!
pamela* 11-29-01, 12:56 AM What makes me mad? Let's see... well I used to work at a grocery store when I was in high school.. not so long ago. Anyway, I would see people come in with food stamps and they would be wearing Nike's and Tommy Hilfiger.. and be driving a Grand Jeep Cherokee. Then they would come in and have over $400 on their Foodstamp/Welfare card... looking more than capable of working. I'm sorry, I think food stamps are a good thing in some cases.. but nothing pisses me off more than for them to be sitting at home all day.. on my hard earned money when they could get their asses up and get a job. What makes it worse is the fact that healthy, capable people.. get close to $500 a month.. and an old lady who can't get out and work is lucky to get $10.. believe me.. it's true. I saw it a lot. I even saw a lady on welfare, put her child's diapers back on the shelf to buy a 2 liter pepsi.. cause she didn't have enough for both. :mad: I should probably hush now.
Iluvthe80s 11-29-01, 02:01 AM That really ticks me off too, Pamela. :mad:
I was in a good mood...before I started reading the stuff in this forum. :(
I'm usually pretty level headed and keep my cool. I don't get mad very often, but I can get explosive if someone pushes my buttons just right, which is very seldom. Even then, I might get mad but I NEVER lose control of my emotions.
This may or may not seem a little harsh. But, I can't stand stupid, lazy people. To me stupid and lazy are synominous. I'm specically talking about a couple of people I work with but it could definitely be expanded. My problem is that I get very little productivity out of them unless I stay with them which keeps me from getting other things done. As soon as I walk off, they start goofing around. Trust me, after tonight that ends. Sorry, not a very good day. And tomorrow maybe just as bad as a couple people may find themselves unemployed just before Christmas!
ImSoooSure 11-29-01, 05:19 AM Well, after reading these I am very, very happy that my husband and I both love each others parents. Sure makes life easier! ;)
I am a very tolerant person. I think the thing that makes me maddest is disrespectful people. Toward animals, the elderly, their parents, their kids, waiters/waitresses... I wish people would have a little more compassion and try to put themselves in others shoes.
Wow. What a depressing thread! :(
Oh, well. Slackers! I freaking hate slackers!!! :mad:
What makes it worse is the fact that healthy, capable people.. get close to $500 a month..
NOt to start anything, but as a women who was on welfare I have to say something.
I had two small children and 500 a month was nothing. You can't raise children with that a month. Most of that went to rent and clothes and don't forget childcare. I know what you are saying though Pam, but the government didn't give you enough to survive on. I was always out looking for a job simply because the money wasn't any good. And I hated going to a supermarket with food stamps because everyone would look down on me. I feel sorry for people that are on it. And of course there are some that take advantage of it, and that also pisses me off. I am glad I have a great job now and I am making more then I have ever had. Welfare should be used as a stepping stool and not taken for granted.
Just my two cents.. LOL

Right there with you RetroMan... yesterday in here in town, a neighbor went to another guy's house, broke in, shot the guys three dogs and then left them in some dug out holes in his front yard. I WAS PISSED AND STILL AM AFTER HEARING THIS! :mad:
Given the op, I would most definitely unleash some paypack on whomever did that. The poor guy was on the news crying and I was choked up too. Nothing pisses me off more than animal cruelty. It would be easier for me to take out another person (assuming I had to) than an animal, even if the animal was endangering my life. We humans are animals too, and we do not play by the rules in the Animal Kingdom.
Very well said.
My ex boyfriend use to do mistreat animals.
Once he told me to walk out on the porch and when i opened the door I saw a dead dog on the porch with a bullet wound in his head.
I was so mad,, and scared to death. Any one that can do that to a living thing will have no problem hurting a humanbeing.

You know what's making me MAD at this moment?.... U.P.S.!! :mad:
I understand when a sender of a package requests a signature but when NOBODY can sign for you and you're @ work and you leave a note for the friggin driver saying "I give permission" to leave it.....flucking leave the package flucker!!!!! DAAAMMMMITTTT!!!!
If I knew this crap when I placed the order I would of had it shipped somewhere else! :mad:

Sorry TAZ, but LMAO. :D I had that happen twice this week. Finally I was pulling into my driveway and saw the UPS guy coming down the neighborhood road (at about 80mph) trying to make it back to his hub. I blocked the whole road with my truck so he couldn't go anywhere, got out and told him to take the note off my door and give me my package. I will probably never get a package again now though. ;)
I find that unless you request a company to ship something FedEx overnight for AM delivery or sameday or just the most expensive way possible, you have no choice but to be at the mercy of the employees of the shipping companies. Slackers!
PS - Sorry if anyone here works for a shipping company, I'm sure you are the exception. LOL ;)

Well, I'm not sorry. LOL I'd probably punch the UPS driver next time I saw him.
This is twice he did this to me. What pisses me off even more is he know's I'm not around and I even gave the guy a tip and he still is a prick! Fluck 'em all I say! :rolleyes:

Thanks for your side of the story Milani ;) I could never comprehend what it is like to raise two children alone. What I mainly meant is those that take advantage of the system.. the ones who won't go get a job.. the ones who use the money for expensive clothes and vehicles, when there are people out there who can't get a job because of disablilites.. who get barely anything. It isn't fair to them. I understand the importance of it.. for those who honestly need it and aren't just trying to use the system as a free ticket for as long as they can. If I'm not mistaken, you have to prove that you're looking for a job by getting employers to sign these forms or something. We would have some people come in the store and want us, cashiers, to sign that form without even applying. Those are the people that make me Mad!! :) I hope I didn't offend you sweetie. :(
Oh not at all Pam (peach lol )
I have a friend like that, who takes advantage of the system. I have had words with her about it. She doesn't do anything all day but sit on her big butt all day and complain about not having a job. But the thing wont get off the couch to find it. I told her that a job will not just drop out of the job for her. I even went out and found a job for her. But ofcourse she had an excuse. That program only lasts for 5 years. Well her 5 years are up, and she is going to write a letter to someone to get it longer. Now that is the sadest thing I have ever heard. Here I am working 40+ hours a day to just get food on the table and she is getting her food for free.
I understand why you are a bit mad about that. Shoot now I am getting pissed.. lol

I can understand your anger, Taz, but I have to step in here.
I have worked almost three years delivering goods, mainly spare parts for BMW. Since it was night delivery, no one was there to sign for the delivered goods. And some of the warehousemen tried to make an advantage of this situation on my expense, parts were suddenly damaged or reported as missing. Okay, thereīs insurance covering this up, but if this happens frequently, you can guess that it wonīt help your reputation, not to mention that your job is at stake.
At day delivery, it was absolutely required to get the receipt signed, no exception from the rule.
Besides, you want to receive your goods, huh? There are also certain black sheeps among the drivers who are scavenging the parcels for valuable stuff. You are surely more mad when you have to find out that something which canīt be replaced is missing now...for good. Plus, they have to follow a strict time schedule - itīs required to be back at the respective store at a certain time, so they canīt wait forever for the customer.
Just forgive them with a smile...their job is not easy, and if they donīt follow the company rules, theyīre out of business.
Well, I can understand it if you are now mad at me... ;)

No Wave, I'm not mad at you... I'm livid pissed with UPS. I understand about the whole insurance thing. Believe me, I know cause I use to be a delivery person myself. I know this prick is messing with me. If I give written permission to leave my packages in a safe location, you would think he would leave it. My old UPS driver did it. I called the sender and they don't require a signature for regular deliveries. I call UPS and they it's up to the driver! I can't belive this! So, it's up to the driver that I stay home from work to receive a damn package! BS! is the driver going to PAY me for my day off?!?! BS!
Well enough ranting about it... I have to calm down before I punch someone. :rolleyes:
Caligula 11-29-01, 11:09 PM What pisses me off is people on welfare who are capable of finding a job. I realize most people are on social assistance are deserving of it and need it as a stepping stone, however there is a % out there that collect it, living off the governement teat laughing at every hardworking person out there. Go to a bar on welfare day it's packed, shit i can't afford to drink on a wednesday night but they can, I look at my paycheck to see a very good portion taken out to pay for their fun. I know a girl on welfare who has digital cable and is drunk 5 nights a week.. how?. I think they should be sent out and work 8 hours a day, whether it's mowing lawns for senior citizens or picking up litter... however I was already told that they don't like this it's demeaning to them... hell if you put up neon lights aand had a loud speaker saying collect welfare checks here, they would show and thats not demeaning. And before I'm attacked I already mentioned that many people do need the help and I agree 100% that they should get it unfortunately many do not and those are what makes me mad :mad:

I agree with you cal. I know someone like that. I hate her!!!!!!!!!!! LOUSY SCUMBAGS!
Milani & Pam - I know exactly what you mean. I've had a friend who was on assitance to get herself through school to better her and her childs life. She was on it for maybe 2 years and did not take advantage of it.
I had a neighbour, a very nice girl who was a very good hairdresser but she pretty much had what she thought was a great lifestyle. She was on mother's allowance until her son was 16 and then she started looking for a job because they would cut them off when he turned 18. Workfare came in shortly around that time too (not a fan but see the prinicpals) and she moved her butt then. She like to go to bingo everynight. She cut hair but on the side and never claimed it. It used to burn my ass that we worked our asses off and she didn't do squat unless she wanted to.
I hate SLACKERS with a passion. They drag everyone down.
I really hate people who have an office right next to yours and instead of getting off their lazy ass and coming to see you for something - they sit there and call your name over and over until you answer them. Today I just let her go on and on to see how long it would take her to get up. She called me??? :eek: :eek: :rolleyes:

Okay, this may not fly with some people because it's not politically correct, but screw it! What pisses me off is people that are living in this country and don't even have a grasp of rudimentary English. It irks the hell out of me that I go to Disney World, where people from ALL nations converge, and the only other language that they make the announcements in is Spanish!
My grandparents came over here from Italy, as well as many immigrants from Italy, Ireland, Germany, Japan, China, France, etc. There were no signs anywhere in ANY of these languages!!! You either learned the language or you suffered for it. Today, everyone is pandering to those that downright refuse to learn English!
I live in NY, and sometimes when I go on the subway, I can't even read any of the ads because they're all in Spanish! I'm not trying to insult anyone of Latino descent, but what is it that Spanish speaking people cannot learn the language?
Hell...people from China and Japan, where they don't use the same alphabet and write from top to bottom instead of left to right even learn the language!!!
Don't get me wrong, I think it's wonderful to retain your native tongue upon entry into this country, but learn the language that makes the country run, for Goddess' sake! I can think of no other excuse for this except absolute laziness. Like I said, Asians and Russians, who don't even use the same alphabet, manage to learn. There's NO excuse for anyone else not to.
But the thing that pisses me off the most is people like the ones I work with. Alot of them don't speak a lick of English, and the only words they know are "good morning" and "good night", yet they complain to their supervisors that they're not moving up in the company!!! Harry R. Christ on a pogo stick, how the hell can you expect to be upwardly mobile when you CAN'T EVEN FLUCKING COMMUNICATE WITH PEOPLE!!!! :mad: Is it just supposed to be handed to you???
Geez....let me calm down about that....
One other thing that rubs my fur the wrong way can be read in my responses in the "Harry Potter" threads. People who have NO idea or concept of something, yet feel that they can make misinformed uneducated, ignorant opinions on a topic.
That is all...let me go get my blood pressure checked now! :D

Hey Pagan, it pisses me off too! Texas is probably one of the worst states when it comes to catering to Spanish speaking people. Everything around here now has to be in English and Spanish. We don't write other languages for other races like Japanese, Russian, etc. I think it is B.S., if we went over to their country they would expect us to read their language.
What really makes me mad about a lot of them is they know English they just refuse to use it.
Whoops!!! I meant to hit "edit" and hit "quote" instead....someone please delete the repeat of my post please! (as well as this one!)
wavemaster 12-02-01, 01:48 PM Apart from the 'obvious' reasons for getting mad, I could become a mass murder when I hear and see from day to day that politicians are biting and struggling for their share of power instead of serving their duty for the people who elected them.
They raise their wages annually, in great chunks, but tell us to be modest when it comes to negotiations about the wage raises. (This is by the way the only time of the year when you see the parliament packed with politicians...)
They wonīt do a fluck if any company fires thousands of people so they can raise more profits with lesser workers, but tell us to get a job, otherwise they are threatening with shortening the welfare and pressing the people into underpaid jobs with an insecure future which canīt nurture a family.
They are raising the taxes in the knowledge that the rich have enough holes left to avoid them. Why on earth was Boris Becker (anyone remember?) allowed to play for Germany when he lived in Monaco for taxation reasons? Be in Germany, work for Germany, pay your share of taxes in Germany or drop your citizenship, thatīs my opinion. If you refuse, prepare to get it revoked.
I could go on for hours, but I think these examples are enough to tell why Iīm really pissed off at those people who call themselves politicians.
That Guy Next Door 12-02-01, 04:05 PM Oh, this is why life is so DARN EXPENSIVE here in europe then. fer what i pay fer a decent house in Paris, i could live like a king oversea ! Totally agree Wavey !
Pagan its the sameway here in Canada. Nothing pisses me off more than the fact that I can't get a job with the govenment even though I'm fully qualified because I am not bilingual in French as well as English. I wouldn't be as upset but they take French Canadians that don't even have grade 12 for a $60,000 year job because of language and ethnic quotas. I have my BA and parts of my MA and I can't get a job because of quotas.
There is a freaking double standard though, step foot in some (Montreal isn't too bad) parts of Quebec and you only read French signs (not bilingual like the rest of Canada), only get served in french, etc. I get so pissed.
Oh boy I'm on a roll now!
I took labour studies as part of my courses so I know all the theories on managed heart and post modern theory on the way workers are treated...as it stood I was always sympathetic towards people who worked in areas dealing with the public.
At the same time I'm getting so sick and tired of bad customer service. Sales people in video stores getting all huffy and dragging their feet to go look for something that was an advertised deal. Grocery clerks talking about watch a bitch so and so is and taking forever to serve you. Coffeeshop attendants where there are 20 working and they are all looking busy so they don't have to serve a customer. I'm so tired of this.
I work very hard for my wages and I nickle and dime everything to make sure my kids get what they need. So when I am offering my business to a store where these sucky kids (most often its teenagers) that is supporting their job, I want manners and a ****ing smile :D
I feel so much better.

Something really upset me this weekend.
Every year I go to the after Christmas sale so i can buy alot of decorations 1/2 off.
I spent nearly 200.00 on some wonderful things.
Saturday I went out to the storage building and tried to get some of the things out so we could decorate the tree. Well can you believe that the darn animals got into them and ruined everything. Even the tinsel. I was so mad. I had them put up high enough but they still got into them.
You should have seen the kids faces!
I was so upset.
Now we wont have any extra money to spend on decorations.. so we will have a bare tree with lights on them. All that money down the drain. !!!!!!!!!!!!

Amen sister! In Texas, customer service as completely gone out the windows. At first I as surprised, then I was angry but quiet, now I just let people have it, right there in the store or restaurant with all others around. I can't tell you how many times in the last year I have got up from a dinner table, said "You people flucking suck!" and walked right out. Or a drive through, oh, don't even get me started. The worst is the Home Improvement type stores where their commercials boast how they hire all these "experts" who can help you with all your needs and questions. Uh, these people don't even know where the bathroom is... they suck! And to carry on with Pagan on the whole language thing, I agree with this position too. The US should have a National Language which we learn, communicate and operate by. Keep your native tounge, and use it to help create culture and diversity in this country, but please, we need to be able to talk to each other and get around the place. Ok, enough for now. Peace. :cool:

That sucks! What kind of animals? Maybe you should get some payback... ;)
Cats, dogs and even two 300lb pigs.
That was the first time i ever thought about hurting some animals.
Better than rats and bats! LOL! :D

I'm sure Therral can handle it. :)
Ted Nugent 12-03-01, 06:16 PM oops I have no idea how that happened........can someone delete one of them for me?
My dog with a bladder infection pissing on the bathroom floor at 4 AM this morning. I sleep in a coma, but for some reason I instantly wake up to the sound of urine spraying down on wood floors!
I guess everyone has seen my little temper in Steve Savicki's thread, TopCat. :o
I'm really usually a sweet nice kinda gal! Trust me! :D ;)
pamela* 12-15-01, 12:43 AM Yet another thing that makes me mad are unreasonably ignorant, prejudiced people. Today, while I was at work, I had a customer who was mad because he had ordered a shitload of lumber for a building ..a shed or something. But he gets mad because the guy who gets his order together is black. His words were "why the hell they gotta hire them blacks I don't know.. to hell with all them blacks.. that's why I'm mad. I've been shopping with this company for 22 damn years.. but I know I won't anymore!!!" I swear, I wanted to slap that man right then and there!!! But the funniest thing is.. when we have customers like that.. all we say is.. "you know what you can do.. take your ass one exit up!!" Our competition is one exit up off the interstate. I have no patience for people like that. It's just plain ignorance to act that way. I know many black people and like them a lot.. I have black friends.. I honestly think they're some of the funniest people I know. Now, don't get me wrong.. there are some I don't like.. but it has nothing to do with the color of their skin. My prejudice is only towards ignorant, stupid people. :mad: :mad:
WOW!!
VERY WELL SAID GIRL!!!
^5
I hate prejudice people also. Ignorance!!
It is a shame that their are still people out there like that.
Those of us in the south still find ourselves confronted with this issue all the time. It is truley a damn shame too. Ignorant people is the right term Peach, and I hate ignorant people.
pamela* 12-17-01, 09:49 PM ok.. this has become our little venting thread... yet another thing that makes me mad are those people who pull out in front of you.. like they're in such a big hurry.. then they either drive 25 mph or they turn left at the next street up and you have to wait on them. It wouldn't piss me off so much if there were actually a line of cars behind me.. but people.. there ain't nobody behind me.. if you're gonna go 25 mph.. or make me stop just to go one street up... then just wait till I pass!!! dammit!! :D Then there's a place where we get a lot of traffic backed up due to the train.. cause the train runs parallel to the hwy.. right beside it.. so there's only room for like one car to turn and wait.. now when the train is coming through. people that aren't turning tend to go around those that are waiting for the train.. so they can turn left. BUT, what bothers me is.. when there's no train.. there's no traffic .. and there is only one car waiting to turn left.. he might be waiting on just one car to pass.. and I will stop and wait.. I'm not in THAT big of a hurry.. but some stupid person behind me is always so impatient.. that they try to go around me.. and I laugh my arse off when the other car in front of me turns.. just as the car behind me is trying to go around.. and then I go before they make it.. and they have to wait to get back into traffic... highlight of my day!!!! :D :D :D
Traffic is the one thing that can make me want to reach out and touch someone if you know what I mean. And, it get's worse and worse everyday! In the Houston Area all of the tollroads have 70mph speed limits which people blow down at about 85 to 90 mph. Going 70 is suicide these days on them. The regular freeways are 60 to 65 mph and people still think they are on the damn tollways. Here's the new problem: Air Pollution. The Houston Area becuase of the Clean Air Act Amendments and signing on with a plan by the EPA has agreed to reduce the maximum speed limit on all roads in the eight county area to 55 mph again. This is going to turn into complete hell and I have to commute in it every day!
I have noticed that the majority of the people that pull out infront of me are old people. You know the ones that have to sit real close to the window so they can see.
When they do get infront of me they go real slow ...man that pisses me off.
My grandfather needs to have his license revoked, I love the dude, but ride in the car with him one time and you would want to take it away from him yourself. I think the roads are becoming too fast, hostile and impatient for some of our elderly drivers to drive safely.
