I have very little interest in the Vols

I assume most Vol fans have the same amount of interest about the Huskers

I assume I'm missing nothing

I assume that you are probably correct.

I have an interest in the Vols akin to your interest in a competitive program you play annually (not UT/OU).

You're not missing much.

I hate being fifth in line for a left turn signal and the lead car dallies when the light turns green.

I hate when I pull up short so someone can enter the road in front of me, and flash my lights, and they look at me like I'm an alien, or keep staring at their phone.

I hate it when there is a car in front of me and we are approaching a stop sign.  I slow down to give time for the car in front of me to stop and then go before I have to stop.  I do this so I dont have to stop twice.
What I hate is when the individual in the car in front of me stops and then just stays there to make me come to a stop.  There are on other cars on the cross streets.

Its like they want to make sure I come to a stop.
They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

Drivers that are too aggressive can be worse.

Drivers who are predictable, are the best drivers there are.

I've hammered that into my kids as I've been teaching them.  Don't do weird things.  Don't do unexpected things.  Be predictable.

Know what I hate?  Grown adults who don't have a check book.  No way for them to pay you unless they either go directly to the bank and get a bank check.  These same adults get pissy when you charge them 3% fee on a credit card for the extra fees that CC requires.

Back when my daughter was 4 I was driving with her in the back seat.  Some guy cut me off and without thinking I cursed and made the Texas howdy hand signal and then remembered my daughter was in the back seat. We drove for a few seconds and my daughter asks in a clear voice  "was that an asshole daddy?"

It sure was honey I said.

We have here a bad combination of timid drivers, often out of towners, or from some metro county, and highly aggressive drivers who will floor it to get to the next stoplight first, and then sit.  I understand the out of towners, the road grid here was laid out a century ago when nothing much mattered, and we have a lot of one way streets.  The aggressive drivers weave in and out of traffic, even when it's heavy and their antics won't save them any time.

I spend a lot of time looking at my rear view to see if one is rushing up on me.

We both try and avoid driving anywhere after 3 PM, sometimes, we are trying a new restaurant at say 7 and it's not avoidable.  The main freeway is not really an issue because by 3 PM it will be socked in.  There is only one N-S freeway here, and only one major E-W freeway here, in town.  The planned freeways were all cancelled.

timid drivers camped out in the left lane bother me

the passing lane is for crime, not 5 over

That usually isn't a problem around here.  I recall driving up GA 400, an 8 laner, doing about 75 in a 65 in the rightmost lane, and a State Patrol car passed me in the third lane doing about 80, moving with traffic.  The leftmost lane was doing probably 85.  The SP car didn't pull anyone over.  If traffic is moving here, it's MOVING.
