    Some of the jobs around the house are just a pain in the neck. Some days I get out of bed dreading what my wife has of me to do.

    I hate that list......that "Honey to do" list..:mad:

    I don't like small-minded people. And multitasking. I'm the queen of doing multiple things at once, but I hate having to do it.

    Or if they drive under the speed limit in the fast lane, look in their rearview mirror, but still do not move over to allow you to pass! That infuriates me!!!:mad:

    exactly!

    which reminds me on an unrelated note, that's the thing about stupid people - the advantage over everyone else that they posses is that they do not know THEY are stupid!!

    I like that one. People like that should not have be able to drive. They are just going to cause a wreck.

    Yeah, the slower moving car will cause a wreck when the idiot doing 95 miles an hour behind him fails to slow down in time and crashes.

    This is an interesting find on the subject of slow vs. fast drivers:

    "Don't accidents on a road occur more to those who are speeding? Wrong again. A comprehensive review of accident studies by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration showed exactly the opposite. Fast drivers had fewer accidents than slower drivers. On a freeway, the safest speed found was 10 mph over the average traffic speed. That's over the speed of the traffic, not over the speed limit. Traffic speed is already aver the limit, and maximum safety occurs faster than that. Why? Accidents happen to people who drive their cars into something. Those people who are good at driving, drive fast. Those who are poor drivers, drunk, drugged, inexperienced, drowsy, slow-witted, nervous, scared, or otherwise impaired, drive slower. Their slowness does not save them. The slow drivers have about 10 times the accident rate of the fast ones."

    As someone who has witnessed and been in several car accidents, I can say I firmly disbelieve that study. While I definitely agree that drivers who perpetually stay well under the speed limit CAN cause an accident, I fail to see how fast drivers are considered "good" drivers. They're considered morons in my book.
