I can’t say this is one of my pet peeves, because it doesn’t really bother me much. But I do wonder. What I’m talking about are drivers who make complicated maneuvers when the same thing can be accomplished much more easily just a little futher down the road? Like the other day someone was attemp…

Hey, how about this. When someone is pulling out from a gas station say, and you are stopped for a stoplight in the right hand lane, and they wave, they want you to let them in, and you do. Then instead of turning into the right lane in head of you, like you expect, they instead try to cross all…

I couldn’t even begin to tell you what the mindset is of some drivers. A few years back while stopping at Wal Mart one evening a middle aged lady who appeared to be looking for a parking spot passed me and several open parking spots. My thought was jeez, how close does she want to get. There are a …

@GeorgeSanJose I see something very similar to your SUV parking scenario several times a week. The gym I go to has a member that drives a full size Ford F250 with huge tires and a lift kit. Everytime I see him he’s trying to squeeze into a tight spot with that monster, rather than having to walk fro…

I don’t really want to play “Can You Top This”, but… [image] Fight over Walmart parking space ends in arrest of 77-year-old woman Police say a fight over a parking space ended with an elderly woman driving around a Walmart parking lot with a man on her hood.

I’m always surprised at people who sit forever trying to turn left onto a busy road, instead of just turning right and then making a U-turn a bit down the road.

Or those who need ALL the lanes open before turning right at a stop sign or signal. I guess one or two of the nearest open lanes aren’t enough??

There’s just no figuring out why some people do what they do. But there’s nothing in the thread so far that isn’t commonplace. I’ll add a pet peeve of my own. People who park just inches from the car next to them, preventing the driver of the other vehicle from getting back in when he comes out of …

Speaking of backing into spots in ridiculous places… I occasionally get to drive our new Mazda6 to the office. When I do, I park at the far end of the lot to try to avoid getting door dings (a constant problem with people here). The other day, I come out to see someone backing their F-250 into th…

In some parking lots there are lined-off areas between the handicap spaces to allow the disbled to unfold themselves from their vehicles and/or get their equipment in and out. I saw someone recently who had squeezed their small car in between two cars with handicapped permits, parking right on the y…

I hear you, I was stuck just yesterday behind a dimwad that finally figured out at the last minute needed to be in the left turn lane, could not get fully into the turn lane so blocked in essence 2 lanes, ie my through lane!
