Little things that irritate you

People who drive in the left lane simply because they "don't want" to drive in the right where they belong.

I've actually learned to deal with it. Because no one wants to drive in the right lane, it's wide open for me.

I don't want to drive in the right lane because it is a bumpier ride thanks to all the big trucks.

are we talking right lane like one out of two or the right lane like more than two? I tend to stick with the second to right lane unless I'm passing so I don't have to deal with all the merging going on but the majority of my commute is three or more lanes on the interstate...

and that's fine, but at least be sure of the drivers around you and make sure to get right when someone is attempting to pass on the left. Otherwise, they are forced to illegally pass on the right. Not cool

 

[snickerd3]

I've always thought that to be true but I've looked through the IL rules of the road and haven't found anything that says passing on the right is illegal. The only illegal passing I found was using the shoulder to do the passing.

 

[NJmike PE]

I know that in NJ it is illegal. There are posted signs stating it

true, but I'm not waiting for the attendant to slowly drag his feet over to my car and finish the transaction.

8 lane divided highway (4 lanes each way). Percentage of cars per lane:

Left 40%

#2 30%

#3 29%

right - I am the 1%, and also the only one going at least the speed limit...

Showing up to a meeting 2 minutes early and then waiting for ten before it starts.

I hate this!! People do it a lot.

When I have a meeting at 10, that's when we start. If someone says, "Hey, Fred's not here. Should I call him?", I say, "Up to you - he knew about the meeting." And I don't catch "Fred" up when he shows up 10 minutes later. The aforementioned rule does not apply to the boss, however. It's good to be the king......

We do this all the time. It's like an episode of Three Stooges, with everyone up to go get a person who forgot or is late or is whatever.

Nope, you can refer to the agenda to catch up and you'll get my write up of the meeting later... and that includes the boss. It's hard enough to get everyone in the same room and the same time, I don't want to go over the same stuff 4 times for any individual who decided to be late.

 

[snickerd3]

depends on the purpose of the meeting. sometimes the boss waits for the stragglers other times not. I don't call meeting so it isn't my say

 

[Dexman PE PMP]

On my previous project, nothing could start until the boss arrived. And he never showed up less than 15 minutes late...
