:x I don't know if it's a recent fad but lately whilst driving, people just don't bother indicating where they are turning. It really gets under my skin, and I'm not a particularly aggressive person but I find myself shouting obscenities and gesturing at people in my car. This is particularly annoying at roundabouts where I'm giving way to the right, and then they will just turn off without indicating. THANKS, I'VE BEEN SAT HERE FOR NO REASON.

Recent? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA *gasp*

It usually feels like 1 in 50 people use them around here. One thing I've noticed is that some newer cars with the headlights and turn signals all together with silver crap everywhere in the same enclosure make it hard to see the turn signal flashing if it is a bright day. :?

Smile: I had a great time visiting family in Maine, and I even got to meet up with BoneSnapDeez for some video game hunting while I was up there.

Frown: I have a lot of work to finish up before the end of the year...and a lot of stressful, last minute Christmas shopping to do as well...<cue "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year">

I never want to hear Christmas music again in my life.

Except for exclusively-instrumental old English Christmas music, which is never played in stores.

Nearly sixteen years ago, I spent one Christmas season working at Toys R Us. To this day, I still recoil when I hear Wham's "Last Christmas" and Carney & Wendy Wilson's "Hey Santa"...<shudder>

That bothers me as well, but you have it easy. I swear I doubt there is a day while driving in Greenville where I don't witness someone running a Stop sign or Red light. Drives me bonkers. I wish our driver's tests were more like the ones in Germany where you are really tested on if you know how to drive or not.

Smile: Mr.Healthy posted tallies for the high bidders on our charity auction without anyone even asking. Busy day, but I think I can update the high bidders on the front page before the workday ends.

I take the subway so I don't have any problems. However to get to the station I have to cross exactly one street and the amount of douchebags that almost run me over every day is increasing constantly. I have been yelled for not crossing faster which is so beyond stupid I will end up keyeing more than a car at this rate.

Anyways, you can keep your cars, I'll take the bus or something. Much cheaper than a second house and less of a headache. I can live with people calling me inmature for not wanting to own a car :lol:

:( : A girl I know made a play, which she recorded onto a DVD and sent me to edit it up for regular viewing. Turns out that the footage is basically unusable due to being filmed outside on a windy day next to a highway, and I'm going to have to tell her that.
