SUVs. Unless someone is regularly required to drive off road, otherwise, they are so living in a "me" world. There are more accidents due to the size and height of these vehicles, plus the "I'm driving a tank" mentality. Friends say they feel safer driving their kid(s) in them, but with a whole tank needed to drive two miles, their kids are not going to have gas for their own cars when they grow up.
Yikes.

How about those Hummers with the row of spot lights going across the top! THe idea that the driver actually thinks he/she is cool while driving down Vauxhall makes me wet my pants laughing (from now on referred to as WMPL!)

My .02
NJ Transit Pet Peeves:
People sitting on the aisle of a 3 seater and putting their coat and bags over the other 2 seats during rush hour, who then grumble when you ask nicely for them to let you sit down.
And of course, the ever popular "loud conversations on your cell phone about nothing important at all".

For the moment; NIMBY'S, buses where they don't belong on Boyden Avenue, and no parking signs just about everywhere!

Guys who sit beside you on the outside of the two seater in the train, then spread their legs really wide taking up half your leg room. Grrrrr!

People who talk incessantly on their cell phones on the train..we don't need to know what you are having for dinner, nor should we hear detailed business conversations, nor do we care what Aunt Marge got you for Christmas. Please be considerate.

Men snoring loudly on the train...why is it always men?

mayhewdrive. whenever someone does that, I cough. Not loudly, not directly on them, but just enugh to make them realize they don't really want to recline that far.

My latest peeve: the driver who, as I'm backing out of a parking space, clearly moving back, with lights on, still just has to get past me. Is his/her life so freaking important that waiting a few seconds is out of the question?

MHD: That was me. I did it on purpose, hoping to shove that noisy laptop into your chest. Would you PLEASE get some earphones for that thing?! Some of us don't want to listen to "The Two Towers" while trying to snooze...

Speaking of drivers,

my pet peeve is people who flash their lights at you while they are in back of you, tail gate and then finally violate the law by passing a double yellow line to get in front of you, and then realize that they cannot go any faster becuse of the traffic up in front.

Call me crazy, but you know when a dog gets wet and he gets that wet dog smell, then he goes and sits in your favorite chair by the tv? I hate that when that happens.

People who turn left in Maplewood into
the parking spots - crossing the double yellow line!
There are signs posted already.

This has already happened to us twice - and we've only been here 4 months.
My husband went ballistic last time...

The crazy newspaper delivery person in the white van who drives down Oakview Avenue slaalom style, vearing from one side of the street to other so s/he can deliver newspapers to both sides of the street in a single pass.

Inconsiderate, white collar, professionals on the train who feel entitled to leave their newspaper, empty soda can/bottle, and other trash under the seat. I don't usually support the death penalty, but....

I'm with you sgt.

Keeping on track with that (pun intended?) - how about the people who get on the train or PATH and ask "is this the train to Dover?" or "is this the PATH to midtown?" Hey, there are signs and track listings all over the place - how about reading them before getting on the train!
