My name is Jenn, and I'm a 27 year old married and babied chick. In addition to a husband, a seven year old daughter, and a five year old autistic son, I also have four cats, three hermit crabs, two frogs, a few fish, and one snorty little Pug. I work from home doing a variety of writing and even some web design. I love blogging, digital photography and web design.

Thursday Thirteen: 13 driving pet peeves
- Drivers who don’t use their turn signal. I’d say that most accidents happen as a result of one driver not knowing what another is going to do. Please, do us all a favor and give us the common courtesy of letting us know where you’re going!
- If I have to slam on my brakes , you shouldn’t have pulled out in front of me. What’s the rush? Those wedding favors aren’t going anywhere!
- High beams. Use them when there isn’t oncoming traffic or vehicles in front of you.
- Tourists. They routinely drive 10+ mph under the speed limit, and gawk like morons at the Amish and their farms.
- Drivers who pass Amis buggies too closely. Are you deliberately trying to spook the horse and the buggy occupants, or are you just an oblivious asshole?
- Drivers who go under the speed limit.
- Drivers who go the speed limit. It’s almost just as annoying as those who drive under the speed limit.
- Drivers who suddenly speed up when you move into the left lane in order to pass them. Please stop taking the fact that I want to go faster than you as a personal insult.
- Drivers who text while driving. I totally admit to texting when I’m at a red light, or in a parking lot, or when my husband is driving, but while the car is actually in motion? No. Just no.
- Drivers who cut off trucks. I really don’t care if you want to get compacted along with your car, but it’s not really fair to put your passengers/family members/children at risk.
- Rubber-neckers. Yes, it’s an accident. Yes, it sucks. Yes, we’re glad it didn’t happen to us. NOW MOVE ALONG.
- Drivers who slow down to a crawl whenever there’s a police car around. Geez, just drive the speed limit or a little above it and you’ll be FINE.
- Rude, inconsiderate drivers – which pretty much sums up this list, huh?
