I also really super hate it when I'm at a redlight and someone has to tuck in behind me as close as possible. Hey butthole, what do you think is going to happen if you get rear ended? Now I not only have to worry about you, I have to worry about somebody else, too.

Roids.

Not a subject I know a lot about but from what I've read players who take them are actually more likely to get injured and I feel like the mass and speed achieved by players exacerbates the wussification movement. If players were slower and colliding with less force I think the league would have felt less pressure to "clean it up" to the degree that they have. It was going to change to some extent no matter what. Also, if they do lead to more injuries (only found one study on the subject) that cheapens the game as well especially with the salary cap.

lol..i had no idea this would blossom into road rage. but since we are on the subject. I hate it when you are traveling more than 60 MPH on a two way road not much more than 8 feet wide per side and low and behold you can see up the nose of the driver behind you. That sucks..oh, did i menchion the speed limit was only 50 to start with? so, we are not out for a Sunday drive .......i'm already going 10 over....back up *******!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Most of us have followed professional football for while now. So, there is a large body of work to pick from.

What's the one thing that sets you off?.

Example; Lets take driving for example. I'm not perfect and neither is anyone else. We are human and make mistakes. I'm older so, i forgive for the most part...except for one.

You just can't pass me and then make me slow down suddenly so you can turn off...(that's the worst for me)

So, in our sport...if you cover it all from start to finish....what is your..."you just can't?"

1. You just can't.....call PI a spot foul any longer. it gives teams new life. that's mine.

Pass interference non-calls.

You know what I mean.

the type where the DB is all over Dez.

Holding his arms behind his back or whatever..

and the ref never reaches for his flag.

This is always followed by an elaborate replay slow-mo repeat back and forth slow motion detail revealing that always to me..

Clearly says to me..

PASS INTERFERENCE

and the ref looks under the hood..

and says the play stands..

no pass interference.

And I sit there in disbelief.

Thats the play/thing that blows my mind.

In North carolina...we can usually get away with 5MPH over...If you are at 10 its at your own risk and 15 over will get you a time out for about 6 months.

QB's running around like RB's and sliding last minute and then jumping up pumped.

For football....punting to a known deadly punt returner. I don't care if it's a 10 yard punt out of bounds....you do not kick to him. EVER!!!

For driving...the laziness of not using your turn signal. I have no issue if you want to get in front of me, slide over, turn here, turn there....just signal your intentions to me so I know how to react safely on my end

North Carolinians that think they have to come to a complete stop before turning when no traffic is coming the other way for miles.

I hate when someone pulls out in front of me when there is nobody behind me. Just wait one more freeking second.

I hate when people talk on the phone while checking out at a cash register.

I hate texting drivers. Especially when it's a teenager. And/or putting on makeup while driving. I want to ram my truck into them.

I can't stand people who litter. Lazy, rude, etc....

Oh, and I hate when I forget to turn off an alarm clock on a weekend.

Just talking about this gets me in a bad mood. LOL

Oh, one more thing. I hate when people think they are the lane police and want to block both lanes before it's time to merge. If they wanted us to merge two miles before, they'd move the sign back.

I have a deaf ear, so when going to a movie, I prefer to sit to the right of the screen (when facing it), so I will generally get to a movie 30-45 minutes early to get the seat I want...needless to say, I HATE when someone shows up during the last preview (lights down, of course) and asks the row to "scoot in" to accommodate their rude tardiness.

I politely refuse to do so.

I hate when GM or front office passes over a clearly higher rated player to take a much lesser rated player in a position of need, or refuses to draft a QB because he thinks he can milk another year or two out of the starter with chronic health problems.
