People who don't commit to left hand turns and end up waiting another cycle to turn left.

Or who refuse to pull into the intersection waiting for their turn, ensuring that only one car can make it.

Can't tell you how many times idiots on I-35 between Austin and Ft Worth have almost caused a pile up by doing this exact thing on a heavy traffic day.
You don't have to slam on your brakes and slow down to 40 miles an hour just because a cop pulled over some dumbfuck.

There's a law where you have to either pull over to another lane or slow down 20 to 30mph under the speed limit if an emergency vehicle has their lights on

Let's clarify because this is important. You have to move over IF YOU CAN...OR you have to slow down to 20 mph under the speed limit.

If you're traveling in the left lane you don't need to slam on your brakes. You're already obeying the law. And you shouldn't have to slam on the brakes at any time because you can usually see the fucking emergency vehicles from a mile away, since this is Texas after all and we don't have a lot of winding mountain highways with low visibility.

As long as it is done correctly. Don't pull out into the intersection too far and turn 45 degrees so as to block the view of the the person in the opposite turn lane. Fuck those idiots.

Winter storms in the beginning of April...followed by a week of temps around 30 so zero melting happens. 

This.  We'll be 40 degrees Thursday (and not getting as much snow as you), so that should help, but still.  This is absurd.

The improper use of the word "literally"

Vocal fry

People who beat you to a 4 way stop, and then insist you go first

People who go to breweries and order beer not made there

Lime Creek Road wants to have a word with you...  As well as 71, 620, 290, 281...

They ten runned us(won 25-1, hit at least 14 homers) and then ten runned the other team for the championship. pretty much just said monday night beer league was their "fuck around" league. i hate playing asshole softball players with no lives outside of softball. Especially with their straight brim hats, neon pink arm sleeve and bat bag with 6 bats in it
When I played Texas Industrial League, we had a 10hr limit. The local Air Force base had so many ringers, that they would sit a guy hitting a homer with less than two guys on base. Most had a last name with "ski" on the end. Apparently, the Polish are some country strong mf'ers.

Dumbasses at four way stops before me who will not proceed into the intersection until my car has made a complete stop, especially when I'm pretty far back when they arrive.  From time to time I'll roll right through the stop sign and their outrage is my reward.

No no no, point taken. I was referring to those who refuse to move forward into the intersection at all. Admittedly, there are many ways to fuck up a left turn.

not sure if its a british-english thing, but all the folks at work are in love with the longer form of consulting -- consultancy.

 

projects are "consultancy engagements" (not consulting engagement)

people or outfits or "consultancy companies" or "consultancies" (rather than consultants)

 

its like theyre aluminiuming the fuck out of it

For the 3rd time, maintenance at my apartment complex has cancelled my ticket to have the AC unit repaired because it won't cool below 70* and ends up running all night to no avail.   Why cancel? because my dogs are not locked up.   Fucking Bull SHIT.  I lock both of them up and have each time.  Luckly I was able to answer the complex's call this afternoon and well, I called out their bullshit.  Told them no, I locked both up this AM because I saw their voicemail, and I bet he's just scared because they are barking and he didn't even go in.   Apartment rep calls the maintenance guy and tells him to go back in and confirm.   Yes, they were both locked up and he's a fucking chicken shit afraid of my dogs, crated up, barking.   Hell, the puppy has a blanket over the crate because it's the only way she will not whine, bark, cry, and howl all the time.  Fucking stupid trivial shit and goodness am I surly about it.

Lol that would suck.

 

Other leagues in my town has the limit and really in the divisions I'm in (rec 3/4) most any team hits is 4 or 5 a game, 6 or 7 on the high end

 

But this was ridiculous. They had to stop the game to go retrieve their balls in the parking lot.

 

 

Our one polak with a ski in his last name is our first baseman single and occasional double hitter. Consistent but needs some air force in him apparently

When entering my country of residence on a website having to scroll all the way down to U to get to United States. Put the USA at the top and then go by alphabetical order if you want. 

 

Same thing with state of residence as a Texan. And sometimes you can type a letter in the box and it takes you to Tennessee, but still won't scroll down to Texas, so you still have to click the bar and scroll it down another notch.

Good programmers will allow you to hit the letter "T" once to go to Tennessee and a second time to go to Texas. If one keystroke jumps you to TN, a repeat should get you where you need to go.

Similar I have a bitch about government websites where you only have to log in to file reports twice a year, but they make you change your password every 90 days or your account gets locked.  Assholes.

Drives to work longer than 20 minutes.  If it's longer than 20 minutes, I sprint into the office because I'm prairie dogging so hard that I almost shit in my car.  Total ruins the mystique of the morning poop.

I get to my office 30 minutes early every morning just to know I miss traffic and can really kick back and enjoy it peacefully.
