my biggest pet peeve?

these youngsters that can't live without texting on their cell phones, even when they are at work...especially in my line of work...during the "rush time" these kids should be working, not standing around....

Syncronized Traffic, People on cell phones while driving, the guy who slows on the highway as your coming down the ramp so you have to ditch your car in the breakdown lane to get away from them...

i'm in total agreement with GG...when i am trying to get on the highway, and some body stays in the right lane and won't let you on...even when there is no one the left lane

I wouldn't let you on the highway either, not the way you drive.

I don't get it?

Ok, this isnt gonna be very PC, but to see a 45 year old (or older) fat chick dressed in low rise jeans or shorts with a midriff shirt makin believe that theyre still 20. All ages are sexy when done properly. I'd rather see a 50 year old dressed elegantly and looking sharp with what they have, than trying to act half their age. And dont jump on me about weight or age, a few extra pounds or years can be more appealing than a young body just because its young. JMO.

I know this is unpopular but I do use my cell phone while driving but I also use a headset (and no, headset is not an alternate term for something else, lol, I wouldn't be the one driving to do that!). The other day I was driving at a very high rate of speed and this guy was reading a book. Yes, he was reading and driving, then the same day this little ditz was applying mascara at 70 mph.

One thing that has bugged me for years is the irresponsibility of the News media. These folks should report the news, period, not infuse their own opinions into it. Many people just believe what they hear and dont bother to disseminate the information and assess what is really going on.
For example, I personally know many people whose job security nor their income have been affected by the current economic conditions. In fact, many of them have gotten their normal annual raises. Yet, if you talk to them, they're cutting back this year for Christmas, theyre not eating out as much as normal. And why? Their answer is because "Money is tight". For who? Certainly not for them. And by them not spending what they normally spend, other jobs are effected, causing the layoffs and unemployment that we're currently seeing. Dont forget, even if unemployment reaches 20% (which is virtually unheard of) That means that there are still 80% working that could be pluggin money into the economy, which creates jobs. Whether its eggs at the local diner or a new a new home, if people are buying it, other people are working to make it available for sale.
People arent buying cars because the media says that theres no money available to lend. That simply isnt true. The qualifications for approval may be more stringent, but car dealers will jump through hoops right now to obtain financing and the deals available right now are incredible. And no, Im not in the car business. Imagine what would happen to the auto industry if everyone who put off buying a car, or anything else for that matter, based on what they're hearing, would buy that product. It would have an enormous impact.
2 weeks ago, a very close friend of mine needed money for his business. He was apprehensive about going to the bank to try and borrow it based on what he'd been hearing on the news. 3 days later, they cut him a check for $50,000 on just his signature. No collateral.
I dont know, maybe its just me, but I think that if reporters would quit over sensationalizing things by using words like "crisis", "devastating" or "the worst since", it could change morale. If, rather than reporting "ABC furniture is down and incredible 20% over last year" they reported that "Despite current conditions, ABC Furniture's showrooms are still buzzing with customers and are eager to serve you with some of the best values on the market" things could slowly begin to turn the corner back to prosperity.
I believe that its the RESPONSIBILITY of the media, local or national to accurately report the news - without their opinions or spin.
Ok, I'm done ranting. Just my opinion.

Not sucking... sucks too!
