1) --- Is it just me....or does anyone out there wonder if all of us took the same drivers license exam?! I am referring to those lunkheads who drive in the "hammer lane" while going the same speed as those in the "slow lane"!! PLEASE!! Out of all the pet peeves, I may or may not have, this is definitely the number one peeve! I just don't understand..what are these people possibly thinking?? How many times have you been on a 4-lane road only to get behind two idiots driving side-by-side AT THE SAME TIME with no attempt to adjust their speed for the even-flow of traffic?!! Don't get me wrong....I'm not blaming the slower driver as much...after all, he is in the proper lane for driving the speed limit....but come on.....someone has to give here! If, for instance, I'm in the slower lane....and there is another driver in the hammer lane...but he's making no real attempt to pass me....he's just kinda hanging there.....and....traffic is backed up behind the both of us......I will DEFINITELY increase my speed to be courteous to those behind me!! It's just plain ole' common sense.....isn't it??!! For some reason, there are just drivers who prefer to hang in the hammer lane.....whether anyone is in the slower lane or not......I don't know....it's beyond my comprehension.....just kind of blows me away trying to make sense of the senseless. You see this kind of thoughtlessness...even in in-town driving. The right, slower lane is clear...& there's some idiot in the hammer lane just toodling along like nobody's business. He has NO intention of turning anytime soon, but apparently thinks he'd better stay in that lane (after all, traffic could just suddenly spring up from nowhere and what a quandrum that would create for him!!)......this idiot eventually turns.....5 miles down the road!!

It is my opinion....and I'm not even a truck driver....traffic would move MUCH smoother if EVERYONE stayed in the right-hand lane EXCEPT when passing or making a left turn!! Come on....it really is in the "Rules of The Road" manual too......trust me! It says something to the effect of, "Left lane for faster moving vehicles and passing only...all slower moving vehicles remain in the right, slower lane".....What part of this don't some of us understand?? Repeat after me......"pass in hammer lane...move back into slower lane....pass in hammer lane...move back into slower lane.....I can do it....I can do it......"

2) --- Speaking of the hammer lane.....why do people rush to pass those in the slower lane....only to quickly move back into the slower lane.....and stop suddenly (in front of you) to turn???!!! Ahhhh!! Nine out of ten times, there was NO ONE behind HIM when he pulled this nifty little trick! Well......I AM certainly impressed by their braking systems......

3)--- Ok...what is it about cats that make them have to do their business the MINUTE you've cleaned their litter box!! Whatzup with that?

4)--- What is it about these long-distance carriers that just won't take NO for an answer.....too bad they're not as persistent when you are experiencing telephone PROBLEMS!!

5)---I have come to the conclusion that it's the same shoppers who stop their carts right in front of you (or hog the entire isle).....is the same inconsiderate people who drive their cars in the HAMMER LANE!!!!

6)---Don't you just hate it when you've completely finished your newly created web page.....and the server goes down as you're uploading??!! Ahh!!

Please feel free to e-mail.....I'd love to hear from you!! I would welcome comments, suggestions, and just plain ole' tips on how to do this....I've seen some reallyl spectacular websites...and would like to have a "home" you would consider bookmarking!"
