What REALLY grinds your gears?

Idk where you live but I've never had that experience. I've gone to court every time, I've taken driver improvement clinics when applicable of my own free will, I've done everything I could to get the charges reduced and in the end it hasn't done anything to help my cause. Especially not in Fairfax County, they are notorious hard asses up there.

@Daseal: Did you get pulled over in Fairfax? That's standard prodecure from what I know, I've had to pay that on all my tickets as well.

You know what grinds my gears mildly? People putting up Christmas decorations in late October/early November. I saw a house on my block that already had Christmas lights up and running before Halloween. I can't understand it? And I've seen more decorations put up since Halloween is over, it's like people forgot about Thanksgiving or something. In my house decorations only go up after Thanksgiving, and definitely not before. It's like stores I see that start selling Christmas gear in late September. It makes no sense.
