I'm gonna join in this nebulous thread by indulging myself in a small pet-peeve share. Hmmm, which one to share? Oh okay, here:
At a four way stop (or a three way stop) I wish folks would really just know the law and follow it. Things would be so simple, and so much time saved. Instead, most seem to want to play the eye contact and wave-on game. Call me antisocial (I am) but I am not required to interact on that level with other drivers. I am required to follow the law. I love it when I don't make eye contact at a four-way, and the other driver, so convinced that eye contact is the law, all but refuses to go, even though they were clearly there first. Given enough time, I'll pull my keys out of the ignition and show them to the indignant driver. Brian On Jan 31, 2008 7:39 AM, Kaleb C.
