New peeve thread???

Well, some people can drive with their feet too, but I don't want them near me while they do it.

I totally agree with this on most cases but you must be careful when stating this b/c I knew of a guy that grew up in a town south of me that had his arms cut off from a power take off when he was younger then 2 years old and he drove a car, combine, semi, ate with his feet, wrote with his feet, welded, drilled, worked for a Tire company which involved him sitting on tractor tires and using an air drill to remove the bolts. I actually witnessed him canoeing once holding the oar in the crook of his neck. He was the first person I thought of when I read this - and thought what about people with no arms and was slightly offended (no offense Connie). Now if I tried to drive with my legs I would need a wide open space b/c I would probably take out a loooot of stuff. But there are some cases.....
Now shaving your legs while driving - ewwww
I think that rates higher then the guy I saw reading the paper driving down I-75 once.

Until the bitter end, I will defend my right to use a cell phone while driving, while walking down the street

I'm with Jo on this one. A lot of times accidents are caused by cell phones yes, but accidents are also caused by drunk drivers, talking to someone IN the car with you, not paying attention at all. I am usually more careful when I am on the phone b/c I know I have to be. The times that I have pulled out in front of someone I wasn't on the phone b/c I was being careless. The time I hit a parked car in my work's parking lot (yep you read that right a PARKED car) I was NOT on my cell.
I have more of a problem with the illegal immigrants in this country driving with no license, no insurance, no green card thumbing their nose at everyone one of us that HAVE a driver's license, HAVE car licenses, and HAVE
insurance. Yes I probably feel a bit more obsessed with this since my parents and I were creamed while sitting in an intersection by the above and then the illegal passenger tried to run across a field until someone went after him and tackled him. I bet if you actually did the statistics accidents caused by illegals and people on cell phones - are probably pretty freakin close.

People who post 6 posts on the same thread - one after the other!

I just HAD to say that!

I do that when I am quoting people on my own thread, is that annoying? Instead of having to copy and paste within the post and copying and pasting the poster's name, and typing [QUOTE] and all that, I just think it's easier sometimes to quote each person with a simple click on the "quote" button.

Randi, and just think - school will be out in just a few days!! We will have to watch out for trolls!

People who quote a whole post...only to reply to one little part of it....as in my example here.

Ditto! It's like you have to go back an re-read the entire previous post to remind yourself what was in it so you know what the second person is referring to.

Although I think you should point out that you're only using Staci's thread as an example, because she did it the RIGHT way.

While we're on the topic of PT etiquitte, I feel brave enough to post this.

I don't like how certain people only post in certain other people's threads. Granted, I'm not good about posting in every thread, but what I'm talking about is that if I have PM level conversations with someone, and I start a thread, I would love to have you post in it, ESPECIALLY, since I go out of my way to post in yours.

Just my 2 cents.

I agree with you completely. I don't really pm with a lot of people, as I don't have a ton of friends here, but, I do know what you mean. That does stink. :/

oohhh You know what I was thinking posting 6 separate posts - duhhh. I should delete my post -
And thanks for clarifying that Debbie b/c I was a bit confused as to what I did wrong lol

Altho as in my example - I usually do it b/c I feel as if I quote more then one that I am just trying to be a post hog - and I'm beyond that...

[slick]

No, no, what I meant was people who quote long posts.....

I was only trying to find a long post to quote.....I didn't mean that Staci does that. She doesn't.

Oh my, I get I'd better STFU. Bye everyone.
