What is really hate is when people at work send a meeting request with no details. Just out of blue a meeting invite for this afternoon called "Discussion" or "Client discussion". Give me something so I can come in prepared.

Isnt that a rental car? prob cuz their regular car got smoked with their crappy driving!
Man drivers are terrible these days.
There is a Stop sign close by my house but everyone treats it as a yield. At least 20 honks a day!
I dont mind that for the most part.
The fact of the matter is that most stop signs are there to determine 'Right of Way.' They're not normally used as 'Traffic Calming' devices such as curbs or speed-bumps.
If you can roll up to a stop sign and see for miles and determine that there is no one to whom you must yield the right of way? Go for it.
Dont do it around schools because children are highly unpredictable little bastards.
But if there is any question, everyone has come to a stop and we have collectively minimized the likelihood of damage or injury.
With cyclists its more complicated. For a variety of reasons. Often they dont maintain 'lanes of traffic' so you pass this spandex-adorned clown, come to a light or stop sign and they just ride right up and you all get to re-live this dangerous situation all over again, just for the lulz.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
When the road isn't busy it isn't a huge issue. When it is busy, I've had to came to a complete stop and wait for an opening in the traffic to get around, because most drivers won't make space or they might have to slow down for 6 seconds.
I'm kinda surprised at the number of people that think this might be a gray area. It's not.
But sure, #### cyclists. Maybe one of your favourite ones will get run over one day. Short memories around here.
I smoked a bike courier on 5th ave during rush hour 1 day before I was supposed to leave for Orlando to work for a year!
The guy went through 3 lanes on a red light and I smoked him. I aske him if he was ok and he couldn't speak so I thought he was toast. Turns out it was his 1st day on the job and from Quebec so he didn't speak good english! lol
The only thing that saved him was that i was driving an old super low Accord and the bumper hit his bike and he went flying onto my super soft windshield...

It's by Market Mall and everyone assumes that a car is turning right, yet there are 4 apartment complexes on the other side of the road including my house.
I have to treat it as a yield even though there is no sign for drivers going straight, or some some dickhead will come steaming through the stop sign and i'll smoke them.
Is it illegal for me to put a sign below the stop sign saying. "THIS IS AN EFFING STOP SIGN!"
Oh it just happened yesterday and 3 times in the past 2 weeks where i had to honk someone.

I am unaware of the legality of that action, however...if someone can post on a Stop-Sign that they'll buy my home for Cash...I think you can get away with it...if you drop the swear.

NO! those effers need to be sworn at!
Ideally I would like to put but it's just way too wordy,
"THIS IS AN EFFING STOP SIGN! NOT A YIELD! NOT A FREE THRU LANE! IF YOU DO NOT KNOW THIS IS A STOP SIGN YOU SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING!"
lol....

You should mechanize it so it slaps the car a little bit, kind of like parking gates, but with a stop-sign and then coat the sign in some sort of impossible to get off goop.
If you dont stop for the sign to go up....its going to cover your car in slime.

I was going to stand outside and use my old digital canon camera from 1996 and "flash" cars that don't stop at the stop sign.

Oh yeah! Just...yeah...get out there man. One of those old green-nylon camping chairs, a hat with fishing hooks in it and a Super-Soaker filled with Paint Thinner.
Become the Hero we need right now!
Ain't no justice like vigilante justice!

Bike couriers don't count, unless we are also ranking all drivers by how cab drivers perform.

If you are competent driver you will slowdown until you can make a decision on whether it is safe to go. A stop sign only exists because less competent drivers (or perhaps it’s the human condition) that people need to be forced to stop to properly check for on coming hazards.

Yeah, the one finger salute is implied. Problem with the mud flap one is a guy could be cruising along not knowing it's my personal pet peeve about their lack of mud flaps, so I don't want to get too agro. I'm always ready to talk at the next light if they find it offensive that I ripped in front of them for seemingly no reason. And by "talk" I do mean that literally. Not interested in yelling or fighting haha. I'd just be like, 'dude, you don't have mud flaps...I don't want to buy a $1K windshield because you saved $20 by not buying mud flaps'.
Sliver - i totally agree with you... except i wish truck mud flaps only cost $20!!
the mudflaps on my truck were $630 (back in 2019) for the set of 4.

Probably an Uber driver. You’d think basic knowledge of driving rules and etiquette would be required, but here we are.
On signalling, those who don’t use them suck, but way too many people signal mid/turn that they might as well not use them at all. Courtesy on the roads is dead.

Those friggin box elders are back in full force and all over my place. It has been fun taking them out with a spray bottle of dish soap, but I'm gonna need to break out the pressure washer.
I took my shop vac out into the backyard yesterday, they were all clustered on the fence and the retaining wall. I probably got 1000 of them. I put soapy water in the bottom of the vac to greet them after their short but very fast journey.
That reminds me, gotta dump that out later.
