Pet peeve

Seriously people--when you are sitting at a stop light, it's not nap time.  It's not time to put on your make-up.  It's not time to finish a magazine article.  It's not time to do anything that requires shifting into neutral while you sit.  You must be ready for the green light.  You must be alert.  Your right foot must hover over the accelerator.  Your left foot should, if applicable, be depressing the clutch pedal.  If you're living in farm country, this might be acceptable.  If you're living in Southern California, this is definitely not acceptable.  The two seconds it takes to re-engage your transmission is just long enough to trigger road rage.  As George Costanza said, "We are living in a society!"  Green means go.
