Hopefully there will be a pill or something out soon or something for this...

Have to hold my hands up to this one as well as I do it quite a lot. Not entirely sure why and I don't think it's a regional thing. Might be because i get nervous talking to people and use them to avoid any silences!

Country: | Rear fog lights are handy if some prick is tail gating, that's the only time I've used 'em.
No so much as I hate it but sayings that are stupid and somewhat annoying:
[At work]
Me: "How are you today?"
Them: "I'll be better when I finish"
No ****, pal ! Freakin' clichéd banter ! 
"Long day today"
No, it's the same length as yesterday.
"Sun's bright today"
And it was yesterday, and it will be tomorrow.
And when I used to work at the race course and you'd take drinks to people around a big table they'd say
"The wine's for Julie"
"Oh, okay...who the f*ck is Julie!?! I don't know you people, wear a name tag or point to the b*tch!"
People who do 40 MPH in a 60 zone wind me up. People who take 60 years to parallel park wind me up. People who don't use their indicators wind me up. Do you know what I mean, Njaco!? 
Oh, OH ! I can't stand people who tell you the same story over and over again. And the worst ones are those that you tell and they still tell you again ! I KNOW ! You've told me already!

Country: | My dream car would have:
1.) A candle power searchlight attached for those idiots with foglights and high beams on.
2) train horn attached to wake people up
3) LED message board front and back with preset sayings like "Get off the Phone", "Get a License", "Get a Horse, its quicker" etc.
4) A small suction dart gun to fire and red flag any idiot. Makes it easy for the Police to know who can't drive - just pull over the car with the most darts on it. (stole this from Gallagher)

Country: | How about this one instead, to get rid of those road hogs in a fast and a efficient way...?

Country: | No more commuting for me as from Monday and a good thing too!
The many things that have annoyed me on my daily drive:
People sat at the lights with their foot on the brake when they have those ultra-bright LED brake lights.
People driving up an empty 'ahead only' lane at the lights, then cutting across at the head of the 'right turn' queue.
Non-use of indicators.
Driving at night with only side-lights.
People who exit the motorway from the furthest lane out, swooping across 4 lanes of traffic at the last possible second.
People driving in the rain generally - they are either too slow or stupidly fast, nobody seems to have a good handle on the situation.
Kids in car parks - If you put the hammer down, you will eventually kill someone... 
Using mobile phones held up to the ear - not only illegal, but really, really, stupid...
And as a pedestrian: Cars that don't stop at crossings, or swerve round you while you are ON the crossing - happened to me a few times in my local town, and it is scary how little attention they are paying...

Country: | Speaking of driving, ever notice:
1) You are at an intersection waiting to make a left. There is a line of cars approaching from the right. The last car in line always slows to make left onto your street, fouling the opportunity to enter traffic.
2) You are on a long stretch of road. No cars in sight. You come across some sort of obstacle in your lane (stalled car, stopped trash truck, Erich on a bike ) and that is the time when another vehicle approaches in the opposite lane at the exact time you all pass together!
3) You are entering onto a freeway. The speed is 65mph. The car in front decides to enter at 25mph and slows!
4) Why you drive on the Parkway and park in a driveway?

Country: | I loved working in the tourist Mecca that is Durango, CO. MOSTLY for the idiotic tourists/questions..LIKE..."what time does the 10 o'clock train leave?" AND..."So, can we let our kids ride the Elk??"
What have we learned..JUST because you are on vacation, it doesn't mean you don't need to pack your common sense.
FTR..Elk don't love the little children. Just sayin'
