People that drive likes it's that bad out there. My RX-8 can make it on Summers so can your SUV/FWD/AWD vehicle.

People who don't fully wipe all the snow off their roof, trunk, and especially their hood. How on earth are you able to see with that giant pile you made by brushing all the snow from your roof and wnidshield? I've seen piles about 6-8" on peoples hoods.

Yeah my neighbors are lazy too. I even take the time to do the parking space out in front of the house now. That way when it snows it makes the street underneath less slick and easier to get going.

depends on where you are at. I was truly shocked at how icy it was this morning. I came to a stop in the Evo, and went to accelerate and thought I was back in the MS3. Mild throttle input instantly had all 4 Continental DWS's spinning at a leisurely 10mph trying to move from the stop light. I haven't been able to accelerate so slowly since my fwd winter days, it was crazy near my area this morning.

Wash Park area. Side streets were icy and bad but the main street were not horrible. That was about 7 this morning.

I'm quite sure that's how the cable companies actually view us, and what they actually do with their nipples.

People who bug the mail man when he's trying to work. Allow me to paint the picture.

Mail man pulls up, opens the master door on the multi-box units. Begins his MOA, when he's interrupted by some impatient and entitled old bag- who proceeds to make him stop what he's doing to find her mail.

Lady, go back to your moth ball infested house with your white poof dog, watch your stories, and come back later when the mail man has left.

Related to this... People who pull out in front of you and proceed to go 15mph and then get mad and brake check you down to 5 mph and actually stop in the middle of the road. If you'd just waited literally 5 seconds for me to go past before pulling out in front of me, you could have gone as slow as you wanted.

Also, people who park on the curb in front of a store when there are tons of parking spaces available.
