    Just the other day a guy I work with was checking out my ford. I told him go ahead and open the door, but then he slammed it shut :mad:

    I really hate it when people close the door on a hardtop or convert by the rolled up glass. GAAAHHHH! That REALLY sets me off!

    A couple years ago I stopped at a rest stop on I-90 in Minnesota...I was hauling three military Hum-Vees on my flatbed. I was gone about 10 minutes and when I walked to my truck, there was a car parked next to my truck and some woman had her 8 year old grandson crawling around IN ONE OF THE HUM-VEES!!!! I asked her what the heck she was THINKING..and she said "he's not hurting anything...he wanted to sit inside of one!"...unbelievable!

    Damn Mike, don't hold back. Tell us what you REALLY think! :D Personally my main pet peeve is cell phones and their asshole owners. I'm going to have a window sticker made to say: "For better phone reception while driving, pull your head out!!"

    I hate just about every person on the road beside me. I think for far to long I've over estimated the general publics inteligence. There all out to kill me in my big boat with shitty brakes and tons of HP. Maybe Im stupid for driving it.
     
  6. Feet on my fucking dash!

    What the fuck? Put your feet up and get comfy at home, not in my car. :mad:
    ... and it's always women who do it.
    Nothing personal, ladies, but not ONE of my guy friends has EVER done that...
    just the chickies. :confused:

    I don't care if it's a hot little number with her hand in her crotch, I'd STILL have to bitch about it.

    It's a dashboard not a footstool...

    (Good eye for that one 'Hack)

    i hate it when people can't understand the concept of not touching what does not belong to them. or when they lean in to look at somethng while the camera swings from their necks
    ...oh man, we are definently throwin down if that nikkon hits my car.

    what pisses me off more than door slammers is when passengers aren't concious of the curb/sidewalk when they open the door. i've had to swallow back the rage a few times with that one.

    When maybe they were new and not hanging down scraping off the striker bolt like most low maintainence units end up, still never close like those old fords, never. Not a Ford thing, my 59 belair doors closed with a whisper too.

    And on idiots and there rugrats. I caught a guy putting his jelly monster on my shovelhead once. Hadn't of been for his family I would have trounced his sorry ass. People like that should not reproduce.
     
  10. You are correct Sir and/or Madam! Feet on the dashboard is rude and it usually is a woman and normally I'm happy to see her with her legs raised.

    I really hate when someone gets in and starts to light up. "Fuck you, my friend. Smoke in your own car."

    How about folks who start rummaging around in the glove box?
    Or when they have tracked something in on their shoes or clothes?

    Mea culpa: I am responsible for that stream of vomit that streaked the passenger side of a friend's El Camino many many years ago after a night of drinking in the city. Something about too much beer and a moving vehicle. He told me that it was particularly difficult to get it out of the inner door. He was more amused than mad. That is the sign of a real friend.:eek::)

    If I have someone of unknown behavior in the jumpseat, I normally go to the extreme of telling my passenger that I'll get the door for them. They think I'm being super polite. I get tired of the door slamming shit myself.

    candy/bubble gum in the ash tray
    treating the dash as a desk
    feet on the dash
    door slamers
    wing window openers (ask first before opening)

    and so on :mad:
    i have a good friend who little brother is a religious door slammer the last time he did it i slapped him on the back of the head so hard that my hand hurt, but he dosent slam them any more.
     
  14. How about a tech on installing gas shocks on the passenger door?

    Seriouslly, it's one of my pet peeves too.

    And don't touch my radio either.

    Being from Dallas I can see how you would feel that way. Please watch out for a dark green Celica. That is my step daughter. Not too bright and a terrible driver but I love her anyway. She'll have a cell phone hanging out of her ear and both bumpers mashed from changing lanes in front of a semi at the exact moment the car in front hit the binders.

    Buy a Jeep,,,they come w/out doors!

    problem solved...lolol
     
  17. we had an old guy teaching english through out high school and if you entered the room and shut hte door loud or not ,he would get you back over there and shut it about 25 times,each time saying" oh no mr, or miss so and so, i heard that , please try again, i would usually laugh my ass off and never get passed4 or 5 tries,since then i never slam or shut a door loudly:D
     
  18. I've had to pull off the door liner and put the window back on it's runner countless times on my 64 Merc truck. Got really good and fast at it, especially in the winter. That was until I lent the truck to a friend and the glass came back shattered.

    New felt and window runners fixed the problem. Needless to say I never slam doors or touch anything in someone's ride. It's always the case that something will work until someone touches it... so I make sure that's never me!
     
  19. My wife is a notorious doorslammer... I usta say
    "It ain't a semi" but now that I have to work on semi's I realize most of the time you DO have to slam the doors....:rolleyes:

    It still pisses me off though.:D

    like was said earlier, the newer cars you almost have to slam the doors on. i dont think its because everything is so airtight though. the doors on cars on up into the 60's were nice and heavy with nice and heavy hinges. get one of those things swinging and youll know if your fingers caught in it. it just always seemed to me that they felt better, sturdy sort of, like a bank vault door.
    now a days all cars feel like your shutting the door on a volkswagen beetle. if you dont get it right the first time you have to try it again, but this time harder.
    thats almost as big a pain as calling someone down who slams the chit out of a door, because it makes you one too.
    but everyone who is "into cars" knows all this by now. cars out there today are crap. they are not designed with anymore than 5 years or 60,000 miles in mind. my wife still believes that we have to buy a new one every so often. that is until she actually drove a car worth a damn, a 65 dart. now i know that this car isnt the best to come out in those days , but it was worthy of a few accolades. very fuel efficient, easy to drive (even without power steering), and could easily do 80 without worry. she just couldn't believe that the car was 34 years old at the time. likewise she could never bring herself to trust it , so we skipped out on buying it. but what did she do when she climbed behind the wheel? slammed the damn door...

    This is one for those of us that live in the borders of Pasadena to Covina to Garden Grove to Alhambra. Those fucking asian ladys that wear those big ass visors and them cotton gloves that go all the way up to thier elbows and cannot even grip the god damn wheel while driving. Hey a note for you all, if ya don't like being in the sun living here.......get the fuck out of the state! Move to Alaska. It is not that sunny there. God that drives me up the wall. And those god damn friggin stuffed animals hangin around every friggin window in their view. That itself should be an automatic ticket. Would that not be obstruction of view in the code books?
    I think so. Just my 3 cents to add to this subject! KNUX!
     
  27. When I got my '59, the pass. side door glass was smashed from a small acident. Then while replacing the piece, I ended up cracking it just before it was in. Then finally after getting in the third one and all going well, it ends up cracking from everyone slamming my door as hard as they can. I cant win....

    ,,,the guys that should really know better and don't give it a second though when they do it!,,,,Oh,man!!,,,,,I'm sorry ,,,I wasn't thinkin! :rolleyes:
