Do you have a Pet Peeve (Part II)

If it hasn't been said yet: Truckers to pass truckers in the passing lane but they can't get enough speed to get by, so they plug up both lanes!!!

I call it 18 wheeler drag racing. I-40 between Memphis and Little Rock is horrendous. I got behind one that lasted over 15 miles once.

Yep drove that strip for 7 years when we lived in Dallas! It's funny you mentioned that particular part of the highway. I've told my wife multiple times that I think that stretch of road is the most boring drive in America!

The problem is so many modern trucks are GPS speed limited, so they end up moving at the delta of the error rate between the GPS units. SMH

I've said many times if I am ever elected President an executive order for limiting trucks in the passing lane would be the first of my orders!

On that alone you have my vote.

I would nominate that stretch of road on I-35 going South thru Kansas and Oklahoma. Absolute boring. Then, if it's in the early evening, you see Oklahoma City's lights and you feel like it's Oz on the prairie.

I also nominate the stretch of I-80 West out of Nebraska, when you cross over into Colorado. The terrain looks like another planet. No trees. Nada for miles until you get closer to Denver.

Yes, Kansas into Colorado is pretty boring until you start seeing those Rockies rise out of the plains.

Stopped there one time to make a sandwich at a rest area and before I could eat it the bread had dried out to the consistency of paper!

So I recently joined a Facebook group for widowed people. It is supposed to be a dating site but it is mostly just a lot of conversations about a variety of topics.

Earlier today someone posted a question about what a red flag is in a woman. I posted the following:

Poor command of the English language. You don’t have to speak the King’s English at all times but “I seen” and “I ain’t got none” are like fingernails on a chalkboard.

I got called a racist for denigrating AAVE, which is a formal name for Ebonics. I never once said anything about black people or any other race. White people who don’t speak proper English annoy me as well and that is mostly what I was referring to. But two people saw fit to accuse me of being racist when I said nothing of the kind.

It probably didn’t help as I also had “used to be a guy” as a red flag. I did add I had nothing against trans women, I just didn’t want to date one.

Just needed to vent for a minute.
