Florida is like one great big NY retirement community.

How about this... http://www2.tbo.com/news/news/2012/a...gh--ar-388347/
Note this line "The Florida Highway Patrol says there are more than 455 licensed drivers in Florida who are more than 100 years old".
Scary.

Kids shows and what times they are on.

Doc Mucstuffin Stuff for instance, it's aimed at the 3-8 year old crowd I guess, but they put new episodes on at 7:30pm.

What's the point of that then?

DVR is getting hammered with all these kids shows that are on at or past bed time for the little one.

Also, people who don't RSVP, quite annoying, especially when you see status updates of those folks having gone past but doing other stuff without saying anything.

Possibly worse, people who do RSVP to say "yes", but then don't come after all.

The lack of a TV watershed - in particular the erectile dysfunction medication adverts that are shown in the middle of the day on shows kids might be watching.

Just don't invite the little Fokkers again.

That is maddening, and it to makes me feel like ripping off their horribly misshapen heads, with the chicken scrotum neck thing and all, and then getting the festering goo of a large dog's over full anal sacks and shoving it down their horrible little holes. But I'd give them the courtesy of putting their little misshapen heads back on...

I've mentioned it before, that learner drivers driving on the motorway being a peeve...but I think the real peeve would be the driving schools that have those kids driving no on the inside lane.

I've yet to see a learner driver in the inside lane, nearly always in the second or third lane.

It's made extra annoying because the speed limit in the strip of I-95 around here is 50-55mph, and they are the only drivers ever to follow the speed limit, which is fine in the inside lane, but seriously, in the third lane?

No wonder drivers in this state are like a bunch of dickheads if that is how they are taught to drive.

Oh and another peeve about motorway driving. Those crap electronic signs they put up giving you information, but not quite big enough for you to read the whole message and they are never fast enough for you to get the whole cycle, so you only ever half learn what they are trying to say.

Made possibly worse by only getting the same half when you get to the next sign.

I still didn't know what the sign was trying to say this evening, until I got to the last 8 miles of the drive home. It took me an hour that last punt. Awesome.

My neighbour was complaining about her husband's driving. She said...'I keep telling him to pick a lane and stay in it'.

I used to try that with my husband. But then we ended up being one hour late for events rather than 30 minutes late.

This has happened to me twice in the past week and pissed me off both times...

Standing in the check out line, someone opening up a register and yelling 'I can help someone' only to have the person behind me jump to that register OK really they can say 'I can help the next person inline' or better yet go ask the next person inline to come to their register aaaarrrggg!!!
