This may vary from mildly aggravating, to teeth clenching and finally to airbluing airbluing vituperation. Possibly, heading the list are things our fellow automobile automobile drivers do to get our goat so to speak. To select a few "for instances" is the driver who in daylight runs with his headlight on high beam almost blinding you in the process, Or take the jerk (both sexes) who puts on their turn signal as they are already in the process of turning directly in front of your instead of a decent interval interval prior to turning. Or the idiot who drives top speed through the slushy streets in town and sprays salt, snow and slush all over the nearby pedestrians. Another class of drivers that deserves to bo shot at dawn is the "lane to lane weaver" who crosses from lano to lane at break-neck speed jeopardizing not only ms own life but the lives of nil drivers and passengers in the vicinity. Another pain in the neck are those individuals who toss their empty snack packs, pop and beer cans along our township roads instead instead of in their own garbage garbage bins. In the hotel there is a lierpotunl jokoster who feels compelled boforo ho gets oil at the third lloor, to punch every lloor button from there on up to the top,This can bo rather irritating if you happen to be gong to the 25 lloor. There appears to be n phobia with certain folks aggravated aggravated by Murphy's Law no doubt, to always meet some long lost friends in the doorway of public buildings eg. Grocery stores, shops etc. Ahd do they move over to the side so ns not to obstruct the traffic going in and out while they spend the next 15 minutes visiting? Not on your life. A stock prod would he a rather suitable solution methinks. There are always a few individuals who feel compelled compelled to sneak into lineups instead of moving to the back of the lineup in the traditional traditional Canadian way. This sparks a little animosity from those at the back of the line naturally. There is a small group of individuals who offend their nearby neighbours in eating places with what could be considered rather boorish behaviour • such as slurping their soup or coffee, chewing their food with their mouth semi open and other similar breaches of etiquette. Last but not least, are those individuals who have tho opportunity to wreak their bigoted opinions on tho public through tho media and abuse tho privilege beyond beyond tho accepted limit of good taste. A fitting example could be considered a treatise treatise on such an unlikely subject subject ns "Pet Peeves" in Hobnobbing Hobnobbing with Harvey. Heaven forbid! HELP KEEP RED CROSS READY!
