April 24 - Pet Peeve Monday

Yes, It’s Pet Peeve Monday. This week’s Pet Peeve centers on BAD CAR DRIVERS for two reasons.

• Failure to come to a full and complete stop at a four way stop. It says STOP. STOP is not an acronym for Slightly Tap On Pedal. In my fantasy world, I want to sit at the intersection with a plastic dart gun. The dart is the type that would adhere itself to car metal. Every time someone would not come to a complete and final stop, I would nail the car with the infraction dart. When a cop would drive by a car with several darts they would pull them over and give them a ticket.

• Bad Driving. Usually it’s associated with the driver being distracted by talking on the cell phone. When I beep they don’t hear me. I believe every car’s license plate should be replaced with a plate listing their cell phone number. That way, when I see bad driving, I can just call them up rather than beeping my horn. They already have the phone to their ear.
