This never bothered me because I know that nothing this person says has any value. They just saved me a lot of time.

People who choose not to listen. If I said it and you heard it, you have no excuse not to act on it.

What do you do if you're related to them?

You can't choose who you're related to, but you have absolute power over who you associate with.

People that "suck up" to the boss and get away with little or no production.

Bosses that fall for it.

I don't care if I'm related to people. I've never understood the idea that being related to me gives someone special rights to be an asshole to me. My "family" are those who are there for me, respect me & allow me to respect them... I choose them and they choose me. Few of them are related to me.
If someone is not polite to me I treat them exactly the same regardless of their blood status. I did not speak to my parents for years. Their choice.

Everyone drives like that here. Apart from rkzenrage, who causes most of the accidents by refusing to drive at the prevailing traffic speed and by being the only car who stops when the lights change to red (everyone else stops for green to avoid those in the other direction who are running the red)

i drive very much like RK and SG, which is why i get annoyed at people who drive without consideration for others.

I'm half and half -I drove like that in the UK, here the bad habits are rubbing off. Plus they don't have speed cameras and red light cameras -they actually have to catch you!

I remember in the UK being explicitly taught that when you pull into traffic, make sure the gap is big enough that you won't cause the next car to slow down. -For your safety as well as as courtesy to them. Especially when joining motorways where you should use the slip road to accelerate to the speed of the traffic before you join. And don't pull off the hard shoulder until you're almost at the traffic speed and -again- the gap is big enough.

I think an awful lot of people here missed class that day. It scares me the way people will happily put into a small gap in 70mph traffic from being stationary on the hard shoulder. Or into 40mph traffic from their sideroad when the next car is 20 feet away. And there are more gaps to be had in this part of the world -the traffic is nothing like in Birmingham (UK). Rather a few seconds late than permanently late, imo. (but I'm damned if I'm going to stop for that orange light.... )
