Off-putting things about people • Page 8

I'm sorry to hear that. I have been in a couple bad car accidents, and I had someone really close to me die in one when I was in high school. So, I don't drive ever. I tried several times but every time I would have a panic attack before long. Add the fact that I have a rather unpredictable disease (MS) and I just don't even care anymore. It's basically like, call me when they drive themselves because I'm not getting behind the wheel of one until then.

 

My cousins and aunt were hit head on by a semi and my older cousin died and younger cousin and aunt were critical but pulled through. Older cousin was a vegetable so they took her off life support. I panic around semis.

I've only been in one serious wreck. It was on a wet, dirt road and we slammed into a tree and tipped over. This is so superficial but I was more upset that my window was open and when we tipped over my ponytail was pinned between the ground and the car and they had to cut my hair off to get me out lol

I am so, so sorry y'all had to go through that. I can't even imagine the toll that would take on you mentally. @Kiana @angrycandy

 

Thanks, Erin.

You're a good egg

 

I feel you. I have my license now but it took me a long time to get it and I still try pawning driving off on others if I can. Luckily I was pretty young and I can't really remember it. My aunt (my mom's twin sister) was the one driving who died. Me and my cousin were little and we survived. I flew out the window so I was pretty lucky to be okay. I don't remember but everyone always bringing it up and reminding me and pressing if I remember anything really stressed me out and gave me anxiety about it.

I'm sorry you've been through that and I sincerely hope you're doing better now

 

That is not superficial that is terrifying omg!

 

On the subject of driving, the most off-putting thing to me is when people drive with needless aggression (driving insanely fast, switching lanes constantly, tailing those who aren't going their speed, which is everyone). There is zero reason to drive like that.

 

people who think honking will turn a red light green confuse me the most

 

I don't think I've ever honked my horn in my life. It's rude and I would be embarrassed.

 

I honk if someone cuts me off or does something really shitty like that. I think honking might be more accepted here than other places?

 

I honk and chase after them for a while.

 

Follow them to their home or workplace and make threats

 

I lightly honk when I'm the second car sitting at a red light that has just turned green and the car in front of me hasn't moved yet. I wait a few seconds out of courtesy and I would expect someone to do the same. Also, I'll honk before or after a near miss.

 

I was taught honking is only to prevent an accident not an "I'm mad at u" horn so I've never used mine. There were prob times I should've tho but it's not an instinct

 

I honk if they are sleeping at the green light too. I can usually see their heads looking down not paying attention. In the burbs of atlanta people don't really honk and would just allow the light to turn red. I personally wait until I know it's about to turn red and then honk and usually I can skate right through.

 

You give about five seconds and then honk lightly.

 

And if someone is drifting into your lane, you obviously honk right? Or trying to get over but they don't see you?

 

definitely honk lightly. Nobody sleeps at the light on purpose so if they aren't paying attention a soft honk is a jolt. A real honk might make their hearts skip a beat.

 

I always have a moment of panic anyway, lol

 

if they drift then a serious honk as you drift away.

 

I scream very loudly instead of honking. One day I'm gonna get hit..I just know it.

 

That's one example of it being beneficial for both parties if you honk, haha

I probably only have to once every month or two but I don't hesitate when other people are being inattentive

 

* Picking and eating boogers
* Picking one's ass and smelling
* sniffing glue in the bathroom
* eating with your mouth open
* making weird orgasm sounds whilst eating
* getting diet drinks when eating a sugary piece of shit food

 

Diet drinks are the most pointless thing. Artificial sweeteners taste terrible and are bad for you, and people who drink them tend to have them everyday, so it's like they're enabled to drink a lot of them because they're low-calorie.

Obviously no judgement toward anyone who likes them, haha. I just think they're bad.

 

Even worse is people who make weird chewing noises during whilst orgasming.

 

On the subject of honking. I honk frequently because people do dumb shit frequently. I wait 3 seconds after green light before I honk. If they cut me off I honk, if they make me have to slam on my breaks because they're running red lights, stop signs, yield signs etc when I have the right of way, then I honk. People don't know how to drive where I live.
