What pisses me off are those thrill seeking pedestrians who cross at the crosswalk or jaywalk fully into traffic. They know you won't run them down, and will slow down or stop for them. They have no problem blocking traffic. And they don't hurry either, just strolling in front of you.

This is very dangerous behavior but they don't seem to care.
Heh, I did get my revenge once though. I didn't hit anyone or brush them, I just scared the heck out of them. I was driving west near sunset. Nearly empty road, I had a green light. Just as I approached the intersection, I passed through a bar of sunlight shining straight into my face. My eyes needed a couple of seconds to adjust. I wasn't worried though, because I had a green light and there was no one in the way.
Well, at that moment, a couple of those idiot suicide walkers, seeing only me in the road, crossed against the light in front of me, figuring I would slow down for them.
Problem was, I didn't see them, being blinded by the sunlight at that instant.
Luckily for everyone involved, right before I entered the intersection, I passed out of the sunlight into shade again, and my eyes - not yet fully adjusted - went back and I suddenly saw I was on top of these guys.
I slammed on the brakes, locking them, laying rubber all over the road trying to slow down.
The terrified look on their faces was priceless. I stopped in time, they went on their way, shit in their trousers, I hope.

It is the attitude that is most important....if you are like..."Great! I like that!" then I am fine....

Well, fortunately, my buddies and I all share more or less similar tastes, so it's mostly a matter of picking which plain old mid-American type place to go. Nobody suggests anything really way out--like that place Meryl and Amanda went to that served eel and octopus. :P

bbq...Im not that cosmopolitan i guess...thank you, but no thanks..............i did love the shrimp and the steak with peanut sauce however. very yummy surf and turf Brokie style.....

Okay, here is my bitch for today: CHILDREN!
Is it just me, but are all people under the age of 10 totally irritating, whinny, loud, spoiled, egomaniacs or what? Why is it every time they are out in public they have to be constantly demanding the attention of the adult they are with? Why is it when two or more of them gather one or all of them ends up crying? Why is it everytime I am in a restaurant the child in the next booth or table ends up trying to communicate something to me with their eyes?!?!
injest:
The one that gets to me is the kid that says "Momma"
"Momma"
"Momma"
"Momma"
"Momma"
I want to just scream "ANSWER THE KID!!"
Argh!! How hard is it to just say "What?"
I was in a store one time looking at a magazine...an older lady tapped me on the shoulder and said "My granddaughter is trying to tell you Hi!"
I said "I taught my child not to interrupt adults or talk to strangers"
and went back to looking at the magazine. (felt bad later though... :P )
