People piss me off when they are going 5 under in the left lanes. I think the law should be enforced and posted more on our highways. It would and should make traffic better on I-25 and 6th Ave.

up north on I-25 there are a lot. Luckily CSP actually stops people for it there too!

Two excellent gear grinders! People always tail me like that (when I'm speeding already) or they pass me then get back in front of me real quick, as if its proving a point.

We have a... scratch that, my wife has a friend that slams everything: doors of any kind. I don't think there's been a time where she gets in one of my vehicles, where I tell her not to slam the door, before she even opens it, lol.

As usual, I'm picking up what your puttin down. It is weird how that all works. It's irony at its best- I don't agree with it either, but at times, I'm on the receiving end of 'having to spend the remaining budget dollars':lol:


I figured my roller ball was sticking from using the phones with dirty hands while working on the car, good to know someone else has had that problem too lol.

Yeah, I've been the guy to have to buy stuff too. They've given me the task of finding stuff to buy, and I have always tried to find stuff we need rather than useless crap haha.

There was a Japanese girl that was a foreign exchange student that stayed with my Mom for a little while several years ago (my Mom used to take in the students until they could live in the house on campus) and she rode in my Prelude a couple times and slammed the door every time. I wasn't sure if it would have been rude in Japanese culture to tell her to walk the next time she slammed my door, so I asked her the first couple times not to slam it and then I stopped because she didn't and I figured it just wasn't getting through to her. I had thought about asking her out on a date or something at one point, but I was afraid it would lead to more and I couldn't take being with someone that slammed my doors all the time LOL. You have to slam the doors on my FD to get them shut, but most Hondas have really light doors.

Going north on Powers every day around 4-5pm is absolutely nuts, especially right next to Peterson. One day I was coming from South of base and I was coming up on the congestion, so I was going slower. This jackass was all up on my back bumper and went zooming around me and almost clipped my front bumper, just so he could be...exactly where he would have been if he were behind me. He swerves from side to side looking around the cars in front of him, and he's dancing around inside his car (cause he's a wannabe ganster with his shit turned up way too loud). I thought he was having convulsions or something. He went on his way, and I thought about reporting him but I never remember to get the number off those signs on the side of the road so I didn't have it on me haha.

On the other hand, I hate trying to get around people (also usually on the same part of Powers but usually in the morning) when they're going 10-15mph UNDER the speed limit in both lanes and neither will get out of the way. That REALLY grinds my gears.

...Old people that can't drive... I think after a certain age, they need to retake the test every year if they want to keep driving.

I saw an old couple going on the wrong side of 470 where E 470 turns into C 470. Luckily the cops had already stopped them. They must have been going the wrong way for awhile because there's no exit near where they were plus by the time someone called 911 and by the time the cops got there, they've probably been going for awhile. Hope no one got hurt or killed (car wasn't damaged). My friend in the car said... "F***in cotton top!" I LOLed.

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against old people, but once they put other people's lives in danger, they need to get off the road. Same goes to all the (young) drivers out there too.

^Maybe we need the magnets/stickers that they have in Japan for young and old people. The ones that all the JDM kids have on their cars now and probably don't have any clue what it means.

Tut's fail-blog, stardate 514808.3

Upon pouring a full bowl of delicious cereal (one of my many weaknesses) and take a heaping bite, I notice the milk is rotten [/spits out in sink]
Check the sell-by date, and its not for another 2 days. Way to go King Soopers:mad:

I hate spoiled milk, probably one of the nastiest things ever. I was tired of my milk going bad so I switched to almond milk. Tastes pretty similar to whole milk, can be used just like milk, and has a much longer shelf life, along with being better for you.
