Things that annoy you.

[Coalchaser]

Teenage drivers. >.>

It's ridiculous, really, how reckless a lot of them are. Do they not care enough about their own lives? About others' lives? About how much money a car is worth? It's not that hard to focus on driving. If you're going to get distracted easily, you should just not drive.

Hopefully this won't offend anyone; I feel like I have a right to say this since I am a teenage driver. xD And I'm proud to say that I've never had an accident because I actually put effort into being safe on the road.

Meh, it's probably better to say reckless drivers in general, but seriously, I had and have a lot of friends who treat it like a video game and think they can get away with anything. I've never gotten a ticket in my life and I have a friend who gets one like every other month. -.-;; For crying out loud, learn to drive or get off the road. The freeway is not your personal racetrack.

My personal annoyance is that no one learns to drive a manual transmission anymore, at least in the states. Though I guess it's a good excuse for why I don't let anyone else drive my car. XD

Haha, my friends all give our crushes codenames. Le-le is the person I like, XDDDD

Still confuses me though -.-

This is exactly why I waited until I was 18 to get my license. My sister drives like a maniac texting, talking on her cell, speeding, purposely veering into oncoming traffic because she knows it 'bugs me'. I've always felt like the minimum age for driving should be at least 18

I am/do too. I can't even look at my phone without feeling unsafe. The only accident I've ever had was the other guy's fault. It was at a right turn merge on the highway. He was watching the traffic and tried to go when there was a gap instead of looking to see if there was someone i front of him >.> he dented my car ;-;

Yeah, all reckless drivers annoy me, but I just rode with someone my age earlier, which is why I'm ranting about teenage drivers in particular. It's ridiculous how some of them drive. I was a bit worried for us because her driving was just all over the place, and, from the look of it, she was either completely unaware of how she was driving or just plain didn't care. It's so frustrating.

Another reason I'm targeting young people is most of them don't have to buy their own cars, so, unlike adults, they don't necessarily put as much value into it. I feel really bad for their parents. :/ It's so disrespectful to be given something like a car and not take care of it.

I've never really had the chance to learn manual transmission, mainly because no one in my family owns a car that requires that skill (except for my aunt). During my freshman year in high school, my mom got a prius, so that's what I learned to drive. Now, I own that car, but mom didn't give it to me until the summer before my senior year (this year C:). I know I'm lucky to have an expensive car as my first, so I'm not going to just throw it away. Even if I had an old, crappy car, though, I still would be careful, so I just don't get why so many teenagers aren't. Take my cousin for example. She totaled three cars during high school, and had a lot of minor accidents. >.>;;

Yeah, my brother was a lot like your sister is. Thankfully he's a lot more careful now, but it's still something he hasn't completely grown out of. I kind of agree with you about the minimum age. Either that or the requirements to get your license should be more strict. When I have kids, I'm not going to give them a car until I'm sure they can handle it. I'm glad my parents didn't let me have my own until I was 17 and a half; I think I'm a better driver for it.

My best friend sometimes talks on the phone with her boyfriend while she drives, but she's a fantastic driver so I don't complain. She's the kind of person who doesn't easily get distracted. I basically never do, though. It stresses me out. If I know for sure someone is going to call, I'll sit my phone on my lap, but otherwise I'm not going to fumble through my pocketbook looking for my phone while I'm driving. I hate taking my eyes off the road. So far, I haven't been in any accidents, but I was almost in one because some lady cut me off (we were at a stoplight where there were two lanes on our side and one lane on the other. She was in the left-turn lane but went straight anyways. >.>). It's a good thing I was paying attention. o.o;;

I don't have my own car yet, I use my mom's old one. Technically it's mine because I'm the only one who drives it though
I have an hour long commute to classes everyday and the entire route is a truck route that is only one lane wide on each side. I have to pay attention constantly because the truck drivers are very unpredictable. I've been pushed off the road about four times and I haven't even been going there for a year yet >.>
The biggest thing that annoys me about driving is the U-Haul trucks. They rent them out to anyone who wants one and you don't need a truckers license to drive one


On another note, I hate people who tell you to hit your dog and rub their noses in their messes to train them. It just makes them afraid of you. >.> I would rather have a bad dog that loves me than one that is afraid of me.
If it's not acceptable for people, why is it okay for animals?

[dozy]

I just realized why my jeans have been falling down. I forgot to wear a belt.

*Headdesk* That annoys me.

Thankfully I don't have to deal with trucks too often. When I see one on the highway, I pass it as soon as I get the opportunity. Cx I didn't realize anyone could rent a U-Haul truck, with or without a truckers license. o.o;; I'm going to keep an eye on those, now. Something else that annoys me are excessively fast drivers. You know, the ones that fly past you and weave in and out of cars. I just shake my head whenever someone like that passes me. I mean, it's not like I drive slow; usually I'm speeding by about 7 to 10 mph. People who feel the need to drive faster than 15 or 20 over are flat-out impatient.

Ack, that method of training frustrates me so much. >.>;; It's so mean and it doesn't even teach them not to mess up in the house. Rubbing their noses in it says to the dog "It's bad for this to be on the floor." However, it doesn't convey "Don't mess up on the floor", so what'll end up happening is the dog will mess up, then feel bad when it sees the floor because it'll think "Uh-oh, my owner is going to yell at me because of what's on the floor." Dogs don't connect actions to results like we do, so if you want your dog to be house-trained, you need to stop it in action, not after the fact. If you punish the dog later on, it won't understand why because dogs live in the moment.

[Enbizaka]

That is disgusting. D; I want to know who rubs their dog's nose in their mess, plus it'll just make them smell.

The people that think, they are all 'Mr High and Mighty' and think they are the boss of you. (Last rant) And, that we are not allowed Cola in school, BUT. The teachers ARE allowed. >.>

I was once almost run over by a couple of stupid 16 year olds speeding in a U-Haul. They had absolutely no sense of how big they where in it and almost hit like 10 people >.>
I drive about that speed too. Just enough to keep up with traffic, but not enough to be passing many people. My sister has gotten multiple speeding tickets all $100 or more. She drives way too fast

exactly. My dog was so easy to train. I caught her messing once, told her no and took her outside in the middle of it. I gave her some love and a treat when she finished in the yard. She never messed again except for the once or twice when she was sick and couldn't make it all they way out. But I never get angry at her. Positive reinforcement works, punishment doesn't
