People who don't take their shopping cart to the shopping cart holding pens in the parking lots.
People who swing out or fade into the either the opposing traffic or the lane over to turn their car, not truck.
People who drive with their bright lights on during the day.
People who drive with just their fog or driving lights on at night.
People who text and do anything else while texting.
People who litter, they obviously never saw the commercial with the crying Indian.
Rap, I won't call it music because its not.
Idiots who don't clear their windshield, back window, or tail lights of snow and ice.
People who go LEFT and continue instead of going right and stopping for lights and sirens.
And finally, people. There that enough to jump start some of you? ;D

To open the plastic packages of meat? Doesn't that leave a greasy mess on the window? Oh wait, you said your wife's car.... I get it now... pretty clever! Doesn't she mind the mess and smell though?

You know I was kidding, right? Just so we don't get off the track here....  If I wanted to be serious, I would have revived (so to speak) the Ebola thread in the first place.

Wow, this sounds exactly the way I feel...

On a related note.

In order to use a shopping cart (or 'buggy' for you southerners) at Aldi grocery stores folks must deposit a quarter to unlock the cart and in order to get your quarter back you have to return the cart to the cart corral. Fantastic idea and you NEVER see a stray cart in the parking lot. Why don't all stores adopt this idea?

People who come ro my shop to get something done that they obviously can't do themselves. When I tell them what it's gonna take to do the job, they say "Can't you just.......  or "All you gotta do is......"

I identify with this one.  I just sit and smile at them until they get it, or don't.

You need to make that the entire car.  They can clear the windows and lights, but not the hood and roof, and as soon as they start moving the snow on the hood and roof blow right over the cleared windows and lights.

People who drive with just their fog or driving lights on at night.

Do you mean the morons who drive at dusk/dawn and other low light times with only their parking lights on?  Can someone explain to me why people do this? So, they can be seen better?  If you're so concerned about being seen, wouldn't just going ahead and putting your headlights on, make you more visible?  And, as defined by their name, they are parking lights, not driving lights.

Well, let's define 'clear'. When I am in a hurry, I still poke holes more than large enough to see anything of interest when driving.

This one time, at band camp, I was out in the morning after a fairly large snowfall, maybe 6" to 8". I cleared off all the lights (always do, not a fan of hiding the lights on any vehicle), and enough of the front and rear windows to drive safely.... IMO. My wife, who was sitting beside me in the car and had nothing to look at except a wall of white in front of her, as well as the LEO, did not agree. They thought I did an insufficient job of clearing the snow. The LEO noticed me while he was tending to an accident and I was passing him (safely I might add): he gently signaled me to stop (read: Yelled to pull over!). Then he gently suggested I clear off somewhat more area of the car's glass (read: threatened to cite me if I did not clean both the front and rear windows of snow). What can I say- he was right. Then again, submarines plow around in the ocean using nothing but the commander's one eye and a lens on a stick, and my windshield clearing job was WAY better than that!

Yeah but once the car reaches highway speeds, the it magically cleans itself. Especially the big sheets of snow on the hood, roof and trunk. I think of it as a teaching aid for tailgaters....  ;)

Maybe parking lights would help?

We do that, but we also have fun in other ways.
