Dude, have I got the cure for your workaday blues! When I have a bad day at work, I come home and break out my trusty Potato Cannon(TM). Firing a high-calibre chunk of tuber into the neighbor'* doghouse never fails to cheer me up!

BTW, my own pet peeve is loud noise in residential neighborhoods(Okay, I was kidding about firing at the neighbor'* doghouse). I can take noises like lawnmowers and power-equipment, but, Dammit!, when you're cruising at 3F***ING O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING, WOULD YOU KINDLY TURN YOUR F***ING STEREO THE F*** DOWN, MOTHERF***ER!!!!

What I hate is when you're doing 75mph on an empty 3-lane highway, and the one other person on the road is dumb son-of-a-b*tch riding 2" off your back bumper.
I used to have an answer for this: I drove an '87 Ford F-250 ext-cab, long-bed, w/ welded rear bumper and a massive 3-ball steering hitch. Anytime someone tailgated me when they could pass, BRAKE-JACK!!!, Surprise, Boyo!!

I'll take the "semi passing another semi" further -- how about riding behind a CAR that can't pass a semi. Too often I'm behind some slow-butt driver who can't pass a semi doing 50 mph!

Another one:

When approaching construction on the freeway and it is clearly marked that the left (or right) lane is going to end...all the inconsiderate drivers that speed past the thoughtful drivers that moved over so that they could merge in front of the line...slowing the ALL the traffic down to a crawl...or a stand still....You know who you are!

When I drove truck, I would purposely block the lane to be closed by pacing another truck (going side by side) in the other lane. It is amazing how suddenly the traffic begins to move much faster when everyone merges into the correct lane as soon as they see the sign--and all the traffic clears out of the closing lane! It is also amazing how mad some drivers get because you won't let them be jerks and speed ahead!
