Dang! I've been trying to think of a peeve, and well, I'm usually not an agry person. Same stuff I can do without : getting cut off, smacking, people borrowing tools without asking, chicks on cell phones, and so on. But HOLY CRAP! Drew found the one thing that really sets me off. It hadn't even crossed my mind. Fifty pumps, and they almost wait in line to get one of the diesel pumps because its "on the end". I believe they should be put to sleep. [:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@]

Funny I posted this same pet peeve yesterday.. Anyways.

Yeah, I used to drive a wrecker for a repo company and getting diesel for it was insane. Didn't matter what town I was in either. Everyone's gotta get gas at a diesel pump. Finally I just started pulling up right next to them (or whatever angle I needed) about 2 or so inches between their vehicle and mine and pulled the diesel pump hose across whatever I had to so it'd reach mine. Never had a problem since. I mean, come on, who's gunna say something to a wrecker driver that steals cars for a living?

Where do I start today? The lady in the self checkout at Walmart that decided to use pennies to pay for her purchase. (She only had a couple of things so I THOUGHT she would have been the fastest, guess not) The interior designer in the chiropractor waiting room on her cell phone for 10 minutes. She hangs up and goes to the Dr.'s exam room walks out 15 seconds later and says " I don't need an adjustment, I'm fine, I was just here yesterday."

Rice burners, the toilet paper roll on backwards, book smart people that have ZERO common sense, messy people, door dings, lazy people, I'll stop there for now!

I was trying to fill up today at a truck stopand a idiot parked in one of the fuel lanes, not even filling up and went it to get something to eat. When I am at a true truck stop I usually try to stay out of the dual pump lanes and get the singles at the ends, but not that idiot.[:@]

.........people who think that there gassers can beat a cummins.......
I'm going to have to argue with you... Not sure if he was having problem... maybe he did'nt know how to drive... or just maybe the 2nd gen rams with the Cummins just were'nt as great as they could be... But i raced one that had a manual transmission with my 1500 QuadCab with a 4.7.... take offs were neck and neck.... but once i hit second gear i ended up with him in my mirrors....
My 02 seems to do just fine even with 3.55's, after I got some miles on the new clutch I set the edge to the performance test and did one launch (I was on the highway by my house but it was night so I figured why not) starting in 3rd and it was under 6zero to 60 with more tire spin than I wanted. The edge said 5.3, but I don't know how accurate that thing is. The new tires just don't grab as well as the old ones, but they are supposed to last longer. I suppose after I get my turbo and studs in there and broken in I'll have to give it another try in 4X4.

Here is how to handle them
Alternative Method of Reasoning

If you happen upon a Peace Rally, do the following




STEP 1 Approach an ignorant, Democrat liberal person talking about peace and saying that there should be "no war or retaliation."

STEP 2 Have a brief conversation with him and ask if military force is appropriate.

STEP 3 When he says, "No," ask him, "Why not?"

STEP 4 When he says, "because that would just cause more innocent deaths, which would be awful, and we should not cause more violence."

STEP 5 Punch him in the face, really hard.

STEP 6 When he gets up to punch you, point out to him that it would be a mistake to punch you (and contrary to his values) because he would be causing more violence.

STEP 7 When he agrees with you that he has pledged not to commit violence, punch him in the face again, even harder this time.

STEP 8 Repeat steps 2 through 7 until he understands that it is sometimes necessary to punch back.
