2.Entrance and exit ramps that are too close together causing #1 to be 10 times the problem it already is.
3. Driving while on cell phone.
4. Drivers that don't yield to Hemi's
5. Those stupid blue looking headlights.
6. Rewiring headlights so the bright lights are always on. Morons
7. aggies
8. red light cameras everywhere but the worst intersections
9. old ladies on golf courses, let me play through you old *******
10. Not breaking 90 when you're in my foursome.
11. Being late for tee time.
12. Golf carts that don't make it back to the clubhouse.
13. Marshalls making me take my cooler back to the truck.
14. Water bordering first hole.
15. Doglegs to the left
16. Why I can only hit a draw when there's a street on the left and a car's coming.

18. Someone fishing for golf balls in the foursome ahead.

I almost always get to the airport 2 to 3 hours early and arrive at my gate 2 hours early. When it comes time to board, I am always in the last zone to board. I have to watch everyone board before me. And of course, most of the carry-on luggage space has already been taken.

As I walk past the first class people already sitting with their drinks, I often "accidentally" step on their feet or bump them with my bag. I also feel no guilt if I just happen to release some gas in the first class section.

Get rid of this first class crap and go to first-come first serve. I think Southwest is like that. Never flew on Southwest yet.

There is a reason that "first class" loads first and not because of what you may think. You have to load the plane from front to back.

Why is that? I've always thought that was totally inefficient.

People that don't put their shopping carts in the cart return.

Drivers that cox-block a 2-lane road by matching the pace of the person in the other lane.

National chain stores whose store hours are incorrect on the "Find Location" website feature.

Rubbernecking.

Road intersections where there is no stoplight, but there is a desperate need for one (i.e. the left turn takes forever because there are always cars coming from one direction or the other) then the timid driver in front of you that won't take the opportunity to go because they see a car coming.

definitely..

23) People who think golf is a sport.

First you hit the ball. Then you get into your cart and go find the ball. And then you hit the ball again. And some people actually pay money to do this.

As Twain said, "Golf is a good walk spoiled."

As George Carlin said, "They should turn golf courses into HUD housing for the poor. Put nice houses on those nice green lawns and give them to the poor."

And then there is the Golf Channel! Not only are people stupid enough to pay to play, they also will watch it on TV. How bored and braindead does one have to be to watch golf?

That's some serious hatin' on golf, but I can relate. Even though my respect for some drivers is genuine, I don't feel that auto racing is a sport. Take away the car and what do you have? However, golf is a sport for several reasons.

It takes skill to play golf. A player is essentially:
  • takes a stick or a pole, which is about half the length of one's body
  • attempts to successfully strike a small sphere with a very small impact surface affixed to the end of the stick or pole
  • striking the ball with the tiny impact surface in such a way that the ball will travel only in the direction intended, which can be straight, arched slightly left or right, low or high in relation to the where the ball is situation to its intended destination.
  • controlling the ball's correct speed, distance and even its spin is all dependent on using the proper size club, how hard the ball is struck and the specific angle which the head of the club meets the ball at the exact time of impact
  • predetermining the number of variations such as length of grass, slopes, crests, dryness, wetness, etc. of the greens to putt the ball into a relatively small hole
A golfer must do all these things while possibly considering wind, rain and hazards such as sand, trees, medium-to-tall grass and bodies of water.

Most often, scoring is reliant upon each and every time the ball is struck for the entire duration of the course because the course has already predetermined how many times a golfer can hit the ball to have a competitive score. Other times, a golfer must win by getting their ball into the hole quicker than their designated competitior(s) (e.g. head-to-head). Heck, the point system is sometimes reversed where the least number of strokes adds points instead of subtracting them.

A golfer even has to play accountant. If their scorecard does not reflect the actual number of strokes, they could face disqualification.

Golf isn't the most exciting competition to watch, but it is a sport to those who play it... and even some spectators. :)

Where I work, parking is at a premium, so much so that during a shift change as a many as 20 to 30 cars have to park in this remote area and walk about a quarter mile to get to the building.

One day there was a space close to the building where there were these two cars that parked right on the parking space line close to the building with a space between them.

I squeezed my Civic between them thinking that because these two drivers were such crappy navigators (that wouldn't even take 10 seconds to try to recenter their cars) that they would gently respect my car when they left work.

BUT NO!

I came out of work only to find these two BIG DENTS with THEIR white paint indelibly embedded on the drivers side of my car. In my mind I went off like a rocket.

When I parked there in the first place I was very careful not to damage THEIR car, thinking Karma would save my paint when they left for work.

BUT NO!

These wusses took their failures out on my property.

I can't stand people who don't respect others property.

Don't these brainless people know how much it cost to repair this kind of damage?

:mad:

I'm not finished yet...:D

One day I pulled into CVS Pharmacy and parked next to this giant Dodge Ram jacked up like a Demarcus Ware. As I got out I notice this feeble old lady in the passenger side of the truck looking like she was about to exit the truck.

When I came out of CVS the truck was gone and I had this five inch crescent moon dent in my front quarter panel.

:mad:

Think I'm done? Don't bank on it. :( :D

When I was about 20 years old my Father helped me buy my first brand new truck. It was this beautiful! 1986 sky blue Nissan King Cab fully loaded.

One day I went down town Dallas to my Moms work place to take her to lunch. I parked my new pride and joy about 150 yards from the building. There must have been 200 empty parking spaces around my truck.

An hour and half later I came back only to find that some (insert expletive here) had taken a key or rock and dragged it down the side of my truck from bumper to bumper.

No! I'm not done yet. :angry:

Yes! I'm done. :D

Thanks for reading guys, you just saved me $250 on my shrink bill.

golf isn't a sport. Its an activity.

Actually, with the exception of basketball, the rule I go by is....If you don't wear a helmet, its not a sport.

QFT. That can begin a whole rant for me.

I think it is ridiculous that people entering the freeway are supposed to yield to the people on the freeway. That causes idiots to stop on entrance ramps because either they aren't smart enough to be going the speed limit when they enter the freeway the selfish *******s who are riding in the right lane are big douchebags and won't let them merge and try to force them off the road. Anyone who rides in the right lane and doesn't either slow down or speed up so that a person entering the freeway can merge is an ***. If you don't want to have to slow down then get the hell out of the right lane.

Slow idiots in traffic. You people would hate me. I can't get to where I am going fast enough. I am a crazy 800lb gorilla in traffic. You don't like it? Tough - GET OUT OF THE WAY. The slow lane is OVER THERE.

I race everyone. I don't care if you are driving a 1972 Datsun. I will piss you off so bad that you will be grinding gears to get off the line when the light goes green.


Oh and I never return my grocery cart and I always try and catch Family guy most evenings.

I have to say though...the worst thing in the world that grinds my gears...


Women who just expect it all and are not willing to put into anything. Lazy %@$%$#, I am talking to you. :)

Is it cause the plane could tip backwards?? I don't know but it makes sense to me. The landing gear is under the wings in the middle of the plane, and then the one spot under the cockpit.... :confused:

And they put all the luggage in the back too... ??
