    Well, it should be soft. LOL.


    People who park in front of, or behind me and block me in at gas stations and restaurants when we're pulling a trailer annoy me.

    We were manuevering for a ramp, a crooked/skinny ramp and our truck/trailer combo is 46' long and 8' wide, when a guy drove in and blocked the ramp on us. We sat there thinking maybe the guy was just dropping stuff off and was going to leave. Nope, he hopped out, grabbed some fishing poles and walked to the water. Kendall then started backing up until it was clear to the guy he was going to have a pontoon boat print in the side of his vehicle. The guy yelled and then moved his truck. Then he said to Kendall, 'Keeping working on it, you'll get the hang of it'. Implying Kendall didn't know how to back up. Hello?? Which make more sense, us having to snake around your vehicle to reach the water or you not blocking the ramp?:bash:

    People who will circle the parking lot for five minutes trying to find a spot ten feet closer to the store also annoy me. Particularly because these are usually morbidly obese folks who really could use the exercise . :)

    Maybe that is more of a generational or a southern thing but growing up in the Midwest I don't believe I've ever heard this. My mom was called mom and my dad was called dad. We always called an adult by their first name

    1. People that hit their brakes while I'm passing them. Duh...you're going slow enough!
    2. People that are in high traffic areas (stores) and then just stop in the way. Or they leave their shopping cart in the middle of the aisle and act like they've been assaulted if you try to move it or get by.
    3. People!!!

    How about handicapped kids with only one usable hand because they bought their pants 5 sizes to big and need the other to hold them up.

    How about four cylinder cars with loud coffee can exhaust pipes that can barely do the speed limit.

    How about people facial piercings serving you your food.

    Ok. I'm going off on a rant again:)

    A lot of mine have been covered... one that I haven't seen is:

    Two 18-wheelers who get side-by-side and decide they'll hold up the rest of traffic for four miles behind them.

    I've also called both the trucker's company that's on the back of the trailer and the highway patrol on truckers who decide they want to be cute and pull out in front of me to cut me off when they're in a long line of cars as two lanes narrow down to one ahead... who died and made them God and decided I can't go on up ahead and merge a mile up the road instead of getting behind him?

    Gonna add to this ...

    Prolly both genders but more commonly women talking on there phone or texting while driving on the highway or side with no care in the world but what they are doing ...then when u let the v8 scream they wonder what the hell is wrong with you ...I mean come on lady.

    I'm bass fishing down a certain stretch knowing the best spot is 150 yds ahead of me....but wait here comes someone else jumps right in front of me and hops right on the point I intended to fish knowing all to well that I was heading there.

    It seems every time I go fishing there's always one person who can't unload/load there boat whether its backing it in the water or constantly missing the trailer

    Why are you even here then :busted:

    - Diesel pickup trucks that blow smoke
    - Fat people at fast food restaurants
    - People who follow ambulances through intersections
    - People who DONT move for fire trucks
    - Deer drives
    - Lil' Wayne
    - LeBron James
    - "Tap Out" shirts
    - People who think they are entitled to everything (usually middle aged wives/mothers with rich husbands)
    - Nursing homes
    - Nurses who work at nursing homes

    And my #1,

    People who complain about professional athletes. For one, most likely they are more gifted then you, so you have no right to bash them because they would most likely kick your ass to kingdom come if it came down to it. And secondly, they make EVERYBODY money.

    EVERYBODY.

    Corporations, distributors, retailers, dealerships, salesman, medical personnel, police personnel, drivers, paper companies, printers...the list goes on forever and ever. Just think of all the adds that air, the sponsors, the charity donations. Athletes are worth the money they get paid because in turn, they make the everyday Joe a living.

    -road hunters

    -smart cars

    -rage broadheads :poke:

    1. People that don't wash their hands after using the bathroom

    2. Public restrooms trying to be environmentally friendly by removing all paper towels and then making the door a pull handle instead of push.
