trik...because of all the red tape associated with installing .50 cal machine guns on my truck..i've found a slightly less satisfying alternative. Mount one of those tennis ball practice servers on the front of your truck...the ball hopper can be in your trunk or truck bed and the roadbumps will aggitate them into the feed mech.
one or two good whops across the stern of a car is enough to grab their attention..dail up the fps and it'll leave dents!! One day i'll figure out one to shoot all the marbles i've lost!

I always thought a paint gun would work well for tailgaters. It would at least get the point across...

on #28:

When the VP of Finance at a place where I used to work needed to get in touch with someone, she would use her speakerphone, dial the number, and let it ring until they picked up.


Even if they were gone to lunch. I listened to one guy's phone ring for more than an hour, one day. Infuriating.

My number one pet peeve...

People who don't bury their poo in the back country..

On a trip last year miles from anywhere we came upon a primitive camp area by a lake 12 miles from the trailhead, and in the best camping spot was a nice pile of poo graciously covered by four layers of poo paper

on #28, why no voice mail?...ours only ring 3 times

my biggest one is litter bugs, especially on the trail...it never made since to me that someone could carry in a full bottle of gatorade or water but couldn't carry out the empty bottle...it ways less when it's empty, lazy people
