What is some of your Pet Peeve's

[Jstpssng]

I'm sure it happens out on most interstates. Across the country. those idiots need to be flogged

I would be happy if they just got summonsed occasionally.
I don’t know what it is about Florida visitors, but the last two times I went down to visit my mother I got behind vehicles with plates from that state who got into the left lane on the interstate and just stayed there. Both times I ended up passing them on the right… both times we were traveling at close enough speeds so that I went 20 miles or farther and could still see them in the left lane. (The first time it was closer to 50 miles, as they sped up and passed me again once I got around them.)

They must take move over and slow down literally and perhaps moved from Wisconsin.

Wait, you're from Maine! How did you get to Florida without passing through the traffic nightmare that is Connecticut? I've learned that the "passing lane" in that state is always the empty far-right lane, as everyone else is cruising 5-under in the left lane.

I wasn’t very clear, was I? When I said “down” I meant to southern Maine. The visitors were from Florida.

Actually, based on comments read elsewhere I suspect they were just locals who rented cars with Florida plates just to mess with us.

Try driving I-81 thru Virginia if you want left lane hogs. Any trip I've made on that route I regularly ran across them. Not so many in other states on that road.
Dunno if left-lane hogging is legal in Va. or if it's just not enforced.

Lived Virginia all my 71 years. You can go 4 mph over...so people set cruise control at 74 in a 70 zone. I hate people doing that also.

Shopping on the Googler looking at water softener salt found some bags for almost half the price of what there going for hurriedly drove to store advertising them only to find out they were 25lb bags after further investigation found the only way to get an accurate description is if I clicked them in my shopping cart online. Misleading E-commerce for a naive technology disliking individual has officially became my biggest pet peeve as of earlier this week and I stubbornly refuse to do future business with such an establishment.

Pet Peeve ... I've posted before on "Forum ghosts". The new poster that joins the forum with a tractor problem. Get info and advice then "ghost" the forum. Never come back to say advice was correct/incorrect or thank those that tried to help. It's a disservice to future folks searching for solutions and rude to the people that took time to post advice.

If this is you ... .Coming back to post tell everybody what advice WAS NOT the solution, is helpful too.

Probably already mentioned.
"What is" instead of "What are".
