When people think all the "free" information on the internet is correct. For instance, a reputable company had a torque spec page. One specific torque listing "Steering box to frame bolts @ 865lbs."
I emailed them asking, Please tell me where I can acquire a torque wrench that will achieve such poundage...😉

I have the same breakfast every morning a meat stick, a cheddar cheese stick, and a motzorella stick. Why when I open the bag of the cheddar sticks they are all individually packed, while the motzorella sticks are all packaged with all the sticks bound together.

The word meat stick....that might just become the boats new name!

You know, I just had, jou know, a conversation with a person, you know, who interjected, you know, "you know" into every phrase. You know, many times in some phrases, you know. UUUGGGGHHHH! If I knew, why are you telling me again? And if I didn't know, why are you stating that I do know ... please keep your "you knows" to yourself! You know?

People that video themselves helping homeless people or doing a good deed. Just so they can say look at me I'm a good person. If you're really a good person there is no need to video yourself. Do it because its the right thing to do.

People that are in a conversation and say "To tell you the truth". What have you been telling me up to know, a lie?

Also someone that left a hot Iron on my dining room table.

...My biggest pet peeve are the people who travel in the passing lane (left hand lane) of the highway that refuse to move over to allow people to pass.

A traffic violation in a number of States.

The demographics of likely offenders is pretty telling but that’s a different story.


+1 on that one - like, ya know, to tell you the truth.

People who mumble!
People who get cell phone calls when eating; and carry on a extended conversation.
People who ask for a opinion; then tell you "You're wrong"!
That's a start.

Driving down the 2 lane cruising 55 or 60 mph and a car comes up on a side street and quickly pulls out in front of me causing me to slow down, then he drives a 1/4 mile down the road and turns off the 2 lane making me slow down again. He just couldn't wait the 10 or 15 seconds till I pass b4 pulling out of the side street.

You think that is annoying when you are driving a car I remember back fifty-five years ago when I was driving 18 wheelers. Leave big black streaks of rubber on the pavement and after about two miles I would be only about one gear short of full speed and the car would make a left turn with no turn signal and the routine started all over again.

Slow down man. 55 or 60 on a side street? You're kidding right? Are you trying your best to kill a kid? Slow down for God's sake. We have solutions for guys like you up here in the Great White North.

I hear ya!! And then while cruise control is set, in the right lane, and there are those on the 2 lane that pull in front of you from the left lane and slam on the brakes just to turn off the highway, also causing you to slow down... Couldn't pull in behind me since there's NOBODY there??? :frusty:

I think they meant that they are on a 2 lane highway that happens to have side street access, and people pull onto the 2 lane highway from the side street... Some of the 2 lanes like that around me have speed limits of 55 - 65..
That is annoying.. LOL
