I so agree with EVERYTHING here! I am a very annoyed person in general, I think. It takes very little to annoy me. Not patient at all!
But, after all the talk about highways and turn signals, here's one that I didn't see often enough (just once from hootie!) USe your turn signals! They are there for a reason and no, they are not an optional instrument on your vehicle, like the 6 CD changer!
I am always driving and behind some slow driver and suddenly they start putting on the brakes and slowing and slowing down to like 10 mph. I'm like WHAT? Is there a dead animal in the raod? Is there an emergency of some sort? No, the person just wanted to turn onto a side street. Thanks, pal. I coulda passed you long ago if you had put the turn signal on!
Or, when you are waiting to turn onto a major street, but a person is coming, so you wait. Oh, but all of the sudden!! My goodness, they turn onto your street! Again, I coulda turned long ago if you had used your turn signal, pal!
And finally, as far as grammar. I hate it when people say things like could of or would of when they really mean could have or would have. I Know, I just wrote coulda myself, as a sort of shorthand, but really, I think this just shows sloppiness in pronunciation, since people always slur it when they say it. That's fine, but when you type it, you should know what you're writing!
