everybodys got more some more i see. i think i have some more too. people who are too lazy to type correctly and type in shorthand unnessasarily, the fact that no one can hear me yell "excuse me" when im trying to pass, drivers that stop in front of me at intersections and driveways and look right at me, make eye contact, but do nothing about the fact they are completely blocking my path when the roads empty, my phone not working, nobody respects me, google doesnt work on my computer for some reason, and i want this guys truck, i have money, but he is never home and i need the thing soon. :?
People who look at cartoon .... on the internet and think it's hot.
Delis in my area who spell SANDWICHES on their signs like SANDWICHS
Businesses who have N's backwards on their signs
Hipsters who think hanging around a bar listening to a lame DJ play krap on his laptop is kooler than going to see a live band
People who think that, even though the SPCA is loaded with pitbulls, they're gonna make money breeding them anyway
The weekend-warrior jerks at bike nights that call my XS650 bobber a "neat little barhopper"
Owners of brand new cars with no modifications whatsoever who enter car shows
My neighbor who spends 4 hours mowing his lawn every 2 days
Little kids who cry for a certain food, then when you give it to them, they have one bite and cry for something else
My POS printer that won't print anything and tells me my ink cartridges are almost empty even though they're 3/4 full
People who wear sunglasses at night. Yeah, I'm talking to YOU, Corey Hart!
And I'm starting to get worn out by people starting a sentence with, "At the end of the day..."

The one thing that I didn't like about the onset of the mtb era was the crowding off the shelves of the previously most popular entry level, weekend rider bike, the ubiquitous 3-speed. First the bikes, then the cables, the tires are just barely hanging in there.

this has cheesed me off for longer than i can remember.
for years it was bone stock mustangs and corvettes, later it was a viper now and than.
and i know it's been a few years( 8 or 9?), but don't even get me started on the plymouth prowler.
now at shows i see a bunch of slightly modified PT cruisers. it makes me wanna vomit.
and don-vee...there aint nothin' wrong with an XS650. the problem is w/ guys that ride motorbikes that are snobs.
if you like motorcycles you like motorcycles.
a lot of H-D guys are snobs. if you dont ride a harley you must wish you did. those guys are jerks.
i'll tell ya who's worse. BMW guys. if ya dont ride a bimmer you're beneath them.
i've got gripes of my own. maybe i'll get to them later.
Having to read through 9 pages of everybody venting ,so I could see if anybody had my gripe...and then forgetting what mine was.. 
Oh yeah having it stink so bad when you open a container full of deviled eggs my wife made. :shock: :shock:

Around here there are only a few BMW guys, and they seem to be really ok. They're mostly older, but they definitely ride the hell out of 'em, and they're not snobbish at all. At least one of them I know gave up his car completely and rides the bike from March until November exclusively. All the run-ins I've had with the BMW folks has been totally positive, and they dig my ratty Yammie, maybe because it's the polar opposite of their bike. It's the Hardly guys in my area I have the most problems with, and it's not even light joking, some of them are downright mean about their snobbishness.beatcad said:
As for the show cars, this season it's been the new Mustangs, Chargers, Challengers, and Camaros. Seriously, no mods. Buy a car, drive into a show, break out the lawn chair. That's it.
i have to agree with the new cars with no mods in car shows. its so stupid. i went to an awesome little show they have at a bank every tuesday, obviously yesterday, and all the cars were sweet, until i got to the 08 chrysler sebring. oh and the pos orange 87 camaro with a cheap lookin wheelie bar. :roll: i hate the rows and rows filled with 80s-90s corvettes, camaros and mustangs. oh and dont even get me started on all the beemers, mercedes benz's, porsches, ferraris, and lambos. :x its a classic car show. if its an old jaguar or cool old benz or somethin, thats fine. but no one wants to look at the family car from 20 years ago. :roll: and i think im getting kind of tired of all the shelby cobras at the shows. they're all the same. :roll: i even saw a 1986 volvo station wagon in a show. :|

What ticked me off was a long time ago I had wal-mart put a set of front tires on my car. Big mistake, they put the wrong size tires they were way to tall.
When I got in the car, all I saw was sky and was ready for the countdown.
