Ok here goes:
1. People who feel they have to rev their import 1200 times at a stoplight.
2. People who drive a stick and rev their engine 400 times while backing up.
3. People put a gigantic pipe/muffler on a civic with a 1" exhaust
4. Ricers
5. Body kits
6. People who try to act cool and take off really fast in their car that puts out more blue smoke than a performace diesel puts out black.
7. People who tailgate. Actually I don't mind it, because they have 2 choices: contine to tailgate me, because their little car isn't going to do anything against a dually, and if they contine to tailgate me long enough, they risk getting a dropdown hitch in their radiator.
8. People who use thier D%($ CELL PHONES ON THE FREEWAY.
9. People who use their D%($ CELL PHONES WHEN DRIVING PERIOD.
10. People who yell HOLD ON I CAN'T HEAR YOU into their cell phone when in a store.
11. Mall parking lots
12. Grocery store parking lots.
13. People that when driving behind you (especially when you're in a dually) keep shifting from the right side of the lane to the left side of the lane and back as if they are trying to see around it.
14. 4.10s! GOD! I had a heck of a time keeping up with a Prius on the on-ramp. They have that dead spot right around 40MPH where you can FLOOR IT and it takes forever to gain 5MPH and then it rockets off. Personally I find the 3.54s to be a much better match for the Cummins.
15. People who put a Ford badge on a Civic, or a Chevy badge on a Neon, etc.
16. The fact that I can delete posts in some boards but not in others on these fourms.
17. Crappy computer keyboards.
18. People who use more smilies in their post than words they type like this:
Nice Truck!
19. People who cut you off when you are pusing a grocery cart in the grocery store... you can't escape bad drivers.
20. Bad drivers
21. Gasser 3/4 & 1-ton trucks.
22. Going through a drive through in a diesel. I've learned to shut it off.
23. The fact that I have had enough time to type 23 of these.
24. Extremely cold/hot leather seats.
25. The cup holders in Dodge trucks. They can't hold a soda bottle or a drink from a fast food place if you duct taped the cup to the holders.

RE: Number 14
You're stock, that's why you can't keep up with that Prius in mid-range.
My '99 with 4.10s and a Goerend tranny no longer has that problem.
Now SEEING that same Prius in the cloud after I pass him.....that's a whole 'nuther story.

Yeah I know thats why... but the stock 3.54 woulda kept up just fine 
. When you're truck was stock (if you bought it that way) did you notice that dead zone right about 45MPH too? Drives me crazy.

i see a pattern in this thread. maybe we could get group rates on an online shrink. you know make it all go away. calm calm calm mmmmmmmmmmmmmm. no more caffiene for this groupl. add one more thing last nite driving home from across portland traffic and while driving my pu i have all these tailgaters with driving lites in my eyes. now they think tailgating is going to get you to go faster and i have to slow down so i can see anything because of the lites in my mirror. thinking of installing some nice shiney stainless on my next ride that reflects lites back at them.

Mine had 6 miles on it when I bought it.
Have you tried locking out the Overdrive below 40-50 mph?
It helps.

Yeah it would, and I sure could have reached over and hit that switch... but I too busy feeling like a pitiful loser because my truck couldn't keep up with the ultimate eco-box. LOL.

True, but I don't have the money to bring my tranny to the dark side along with everything else.
Hey that can be another one:

Guys that leave the toilet seat down, so when you gotta go #2 it's already washed down for you!
I smoke for tailgaters.
My Jack Russell's won't stop barking at each other when i'm trying to watch TV & it only happens when i watch TV.
Knowing that i have to give TJ back his Smarty when we finish workin on his truck.
It might have gotten lost by then.
I know there is more but i get mad when i can't think of them. That's one.
