People who just have to start something online. Big pet peeve of mine. They should be pitted.[Stooge]

Actually, I passed him on the right as his wife was hanging out of the passenger window flipping me off. I was not speeding (read on)

The look on her face when the CSP hit the siren was priceless.

GD that annoys the shit outta me...

Had one guy where I work try to tell me his "hummer" wouldn't fit in his free carport, so he wanted compensation.. I was like, "um, my lifted silverado fits just fine, I think you can make it work...

Same guy tried to tell me that if we tried to tow him, that first, the tow truck wouldn't be able to tow his "hummer" and second, that he would just drag the tow truck around after they tried to hook him up... He drives a mid size suv designed for woman with tvs in the back for kids to watch barney while mom takes them to soccer..he drives an suv with a sticker in the mid $20s.... Not an $80k truck on 37s that you could literally drive into war right off the lot....

This is a funny post. While I understand what you are saying about the H3, it IS still called a Hummer, so what else are they supposed to call it?

The part about the guy pulling a tow truck around had me cracking up. The H2 is a damn Tahoe, I don't know even know what the H3 is based off of. The H1 came with such a shitty motor that if it isn't on a flatbed tow truck once a month, it's a miracle.

when you post "firm" in a for sale item yet people still come up with offers.

when you say "trade offers of equal value accepted" and the equal value is a relative term and some people don't quite grasp where they think their trade item of laced with columbian cocaine then gold plated with a egyptian pharrohs nutsack gold cover.

or when you sell something for several thousand dollars and people show up with all 20's....um yeah buddy I am going to count it....ALL OF THE 20's you brought me. [Rant1]

H3 is based off the chevy colorado. little small thing. both my trucks would run that POS over. I hate the fact that they have the name "hummer" on them. completely ruined the good thing.

The H1 is an amazing vehicle. I grew up loving that thing, know probably damn near everything about it. I always said I would own one...even if I had to live in it. that mindset has changed but I will probably own one of them some day!

You can probably find a retired M998 HMMWV, which is what the H1 is based off except mil specs are way better for reliability and performance but aren't GM parts. The biggest main difference between the HMMWV and the "Hummer" is that the 998 series (and if you really luck out the 1109 UAH- Up-Armored HMMWV) has a more powerful engine, better torque, better trans, stronger axles and better suspension (for off road use). Also, one major difference, you get water over the hood of an H1 you are fuk'd... not with the mil version.

Ok, back to the topic, my biggest peeves are people who drive 10+ under the speed limit in clear, dry weather (usually on a two lane road, not highway). I don't want to say "minority" but they usually aren't white who put $4000 rims on a $700 car.
And lastly, people who think because they're older they must be smarter...

People who are standing directly in front of me in line at ____________ (insert fast-food joint name) for 10 minutes and then, when it's their turn to order...

The following is representative of an exchange that happened in front of me at Subway today:

Employee: "Hi. What can I get for you?"

Customer: "Ummmm. I'm not sure. Hold on."

15 seconds pass...

C: "Ummmm... What comes with such and such?"

E: (Explains to customer what menu right in front of her stupid ass says.)

C: "Ummmm.... Does it include ______?"

E: "Yes, ma'am. Just like it says on the menu."

C: "Yeah. I don't ummmm..... want that then. Ummmm.... I guess I'll have... Wait. What size comes with a drink?"

E: "All of the meal combos come with a drink."

C: "The meal combos? What's in the combo?"

E: "The combo includes chips and a drink."

C: "What kind of chips?"

E: "Any kind. Your choice."

C: "What kind do you have?"

E: (Very calm up to this point...let's go with a slight rolling of the eyes and points to the chip rack that is literally 5 feet in front of this moron's face.) "Here's our selection of chips."

C: "Ummmm..." (Finger to her lips like this is the most difficult decision she's made in her entire life. To be fair, judging by her cognitive skills, maybe it was.) "I'll have the bar-... No, I'll have the baked ones. Oh, wait. I'll have barbque."

E: "OK. What kind of sandwich do you want?"

C: "What size's do you got?"

E: "6 inch or foot-long."

C: "Can I get 2 6-inch sammwiches?"

E: "Yes. You can get whatever you want. Maybe you'd like to think about it for a minute while I help someone else?"
I flash the clerk a smile and a give her a "Thank you" nod.

C: "Ummmm.... OK. No, wait. I know what I want now. I'll have 2 6-inch BMTs."

E: "What kind of bread would you like those on?"

C: "What kind of bread do you got?"

E: Points to the bread menu literally 1 foot in front of this idiot's face.

C: "Ummm... I'll just have white. No... wheat."

E: "For both of them?"

C: "Yeah."

E: "Cheese?"

C: "Sure."

E: "OK...what kind?" (Employee is now getting the hang of this game.) "We have ...(lists cheese selections)."

C: "What kind goes best on that?"

Me: "Swiss. You should always get Swiss on a BMT."

C: "Really? OK....ummm...I'll have Swiss I guess."

E: "OK...Swiss on both of them." (Clerk looks at me funny and preps sandwiches)

E: "What do want on your first sandwich?"

C: "Ummm...they'll both be the same."

E: "OK...we'll just make it a foot long. It'll be cheaper that way."

C: "Oh, no. I can't eat a whole one. That's why I want 2 sammiches."

E: "I'll cut in half."

C: "That's OK. I'll just have 2 smaller ones."

E: "OK. Fine. What did you want on those?"
Einstein finally gets her veggies squared away.

E: "Will there be anything else?"

C: (Yells at someone across the store.)
Four young teens, 12 - 14, come running over and start the same process as mom.

After a little over 20 minutes this gaggle of idiots finally manages to pay for their meals, and surprisingly, found their way out of the store to their car without help.

I REALLY hate stupid people.

I feel like I've lost IQ points just READING about that exchange. You truly have more patience than Mother Teresa. I'd have been tempted to grab her by the back of her hair and give her multiple, up close inspections of the sneeze guard...
