People driving in the wrong lane on the highway relative to speed. If you are not passing anyone, there is absolutely no reason for you to be in the middle or left lanes. Additionally, if you are going the same speed as the cars in the lane to your right, get into their lane and stop blocking those of us actually willing to drive the speed limit...

More of these tickets need to be issued:

you have never driven on some highways in IL then...the truck lane (right lane) is so messed up from all the trucks that it is necessary to drive in the left unless you want to break in the shocks on your car....its a bumpy ride


QFT! When I lived in Fairview Heights, as soon as I crossed the IL border from KY, I moved into the left lane. Of course, I was a bit more of a scofflaw then and was runing 20 over, so it wasn't like I was slowing folks up. And I did move over when I saw power approaching rapidly behind me.

Hell in Illinois if you aren't running 20 over, you're gonna get run over...not sure what the Illinois State troopers do, but writing speeding tickets on the interstate isn't one of them

^they like to pack hunt instead. They will gather at an overpass with one guy on the bridge with the radar gun and the rest on the on ramp and pull over like 6-7 cars at time. Then repeat in the other direction.

When I had to drive to the office, I used to hit the tollway (I-94/I-294) and set the cruise control around 80 (55mph speed limit) just to keep up.

If you have IL plates, don't speed through Racine Wisconsin.

 
-People who do not use blinkers

-Habitual sniffers

-Teaching an intern something new, they do not write it down for future reference, ask me same question a week later

-Stinky lunches in the office

-When coworkers nearby eat celery, carrots, apples, chips (anything with a loud crunch)

-People who slurp coffee

-Throat clearing

-Whistling along to nothing

-People who do not use the fan when dropping a deuce and crop dusting their way back to their desk

-Text messages that only have "K" or any variation of it

-Improper hygiene in any sense of the word

-People who talk just to hear themselves talk

Man, it is hard work being perfect....

 
The EB.com quote function.


Changing your theme for the board fixes that. Just switch from Imperial to IP.Board.


You're the man.


Multiquote still is a no go for me.
Quote and multiquote work fine if you switch to the default skin (IP Board)


Not with Chrome they don't. I never switched from default. Quote doesn't show who made the quote (which is fine), but multi-quote is a total no go.

You'd be amazed how far a 1990 model Escort radar detecor could pick those guys up.

People who pass you on 2 lane roads when you're doing 10 over, then slam on their brakes to make a turn in any direction...

 
Having to bolt to change the channel when Nick Mom comes on after Nick Jr. Do they really have to put on programming of women chatting about how long it's been since their last orgasm, AS SOON AS Dora the Explorer is over?

 
Dora needs to know what to expect when she gets all growed up.
