I guess I'm the only one that has seen them talking to clients with their chin high up, speaking in a very loud voice with their chest puffed out and acting as if they only have 2 seconds to talk to you because they have to go and do something more important (smoke or text message somebody).
The main thing that I notice is how loud they talk to clients, instead of talking in a nice friendly way, they talk as if you are standing twice as far as you are.
You mean pretentiously-like?

Voyeurism - the practice of obtaining sexual gratification by looking at sexual objects or acts, esp. secretively.

Question. How are tattoo's and piercings any indication on voyeurism?? Just curious.

The Texas Exit........
flying down the interstate in the left lane and just at the exact moment your exit is on your right had side, cutting off all other lanes of traffic so you can exit.....
instead of, you know, having to get in the right lane and (GASP!) maybe have to drive a little slower for a few seconds so you can PREPARE to exit...

This is one thing I absolutely HATE about driving in this city. This seems so backwards to me. You typically exit first, then there is an entrance ramp onto the freeway. Wonder who thought this was a good idea?

My favorite one.
410 going into I-35 North (on the North-East side)
and at the same time, you have people exiting I-35 into Thousand Oaks.
