Most Annoying Travel Habits
injest:
ok we do all our traveling by car...here is MY pet peeve.
People that won't stop. You know SOME people need to use the bathroom every now and again! My husband has a bladder the size of a watermelon, apparently.

The new requirements involve what are known as "anti-drowning covers" that are designed to keep people from getting sucked onto drains and held under water. "It's kind of putting the cart before the horse."

Incredible! We had a swimming pool when I was a kid, and my mom was always warning us to stay away from the drain. It must have been effective -- as I recall, I thought of the drain as kind of like that giant squid in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea living at the bottom of the deep end.
But what's incredible is that legislation about this is going on just now -- I'm talking about 50 years ago!

This isn't an annoyance, but a fun anecdote I wanted to share. Once when travellng with a friend, we picked up some hippie hitchhiker types...three guys and two dogs and a guitar. It was a fun ride. Although their personal hygiene could have been better, they gifted me with a cardboard sign adorned with a dried flower that read "Go to Heaven". Every time I see it in my rearview mirror, it makes me smile.
As a rule I doubt I would pick up hitchhikers if I were alone; sadly, it is not always safe to be kind. However, I have no regrets because this generated a week minimum of positive energy in my life.
:D

It was obvious to me that others were as deeply annoyed as I was.
It causes me to wonder 'do people like that simply have no clue or are they just utterly inconsiderate?'

UGH......*vomit vomit*......people like that are just oblivious to to life around them, and are just plain dirty.

look at it this way, he probably stank less with the toe nails clipped, than unclipped. I always travel with antibacterial towelletes to wipe down surfaces. I would have probably forced a smile : offered him some of my towellets, a Listerine slip for the undoubted toxic breath, and a cup of coffee so he would eventually get up and go pee.
