Don't You Just HATE Cloves? Do You Even Know What A Clove Is?

Don't You Just HATE Cloves? Do You Even Know What A Clove Is?
No! Not the cigarettes.

Ugh! Don't you just hate when you run into these types of drivers? According to this guy, these s#@!tbirds are the types that are simply oblivious to everything on the roads. You know, the kinda guy that sits in the left lane of a highway...doing 35.

The writer here has dubbed them "cloves," but I could think of a few better names.

With that said, take a look at the list of clove offenses and let us know what your biggest pet peeve is.

Could you be a Clover? Maybe you don’t even know what a Clover is?

Here’s how to know:

Do you use your rearview mirror?

Clovers tend to be oblivious to their surroundings — and in particular, of their fellow motorists. They don’t notice that their rear bumper has grown a tail six other cars long. The true dyed-in-the-wool Clover does notice — but doesn’t care. Either he’s “doing the speed limit”– or the other drivers are “speeders.”

Those other cars stacking up behind him can wait. What’s their rush, anyhow?

Back into parking spaces?

A behavior peculiar to Clovers is the reflexive need to back into parking spaces...

I see more Dodge, and Chevy drivers causing more problems and of course van drivers.

Doesn't matter. Cloves drive all makes, all models.

A clove can be driving the fastest car on the road yet be the slowest in traffic. They brake when the cars 2 lanes over slow down & don't have the slightest clue how to merge in traffic.

I have encountered some of the nicest people driving Hummers & Bentleys; and met such complete a$$holes in Civics, Yaris,& Malibus.

Sometimes the problem is someone in the slow lane refusing to be passed...by the person in the fast lane on cruise control. With this you have to wait for an exit lane, drop to third and create your own passing zone. Other people will use the car pool lane to execute the pass, but that's not playing the game properly.

ME TOO!
I just had that instance this week. The guy in front of me would accelerate a few feet from the green light then tap his brake and resume cruising. He did it consistently for at least three lights. I started to wonder if it was a compulsive reaction or something - man it was annoying.

Everything you guys said and the idiot that doesn't use his turn signal to change lanes, or cuts you off cuts across two or more lanes to get to the turning lane and then waits until he/she gets to the stoplight and then puts on the turn signal. IDIOT! we know you're turning now, you're in the turning lane. How about letting us know so when you are going 10 mph below the speed limit and I get into the left turn lane and accelerate past you to the speed limit as to not miss my light I don't have to immediately hit the brakes because you decide to get over without signaling. Why do these idiots change lanes and not put their damn signal on until they are are completely stopped at the light waiting for the green arrow to go!!1 GJKFKMGKDMKDSJKSJCKJS he he he he let me calm down.........WOOOOSAAHHHHHH!

"The true Clover, you see, is not merely a bad driver. He is a bad driver on a tear; angry at the world and in particular, anyone who who doesn’t view the world in through Clover-colored glasses. That would be anyone who doesn’t automatically worship The Law (any law; every law) or who isn’t consumed by a desire to make sure everyone else obeys The Law"

Let's see how well that works out when they become road kill!

Yesterday I had a classic. Guy at a flashing red light with his right turn signal on. Waits, waits, waits. There were 15 chances to go, finally the guy behind him (in front of me), honks and the guy rolls forward, still doesn't turn.

Then, out of nowhere he turns LEFT! Well moron, if you had your left signal on we would have been more patient and known what you were trying to do.

I love the guy who flies up behind me while I'm stuck behind a clove on the highway, and tries to make stupid movements to get in front of me. If I was gonna go faster I'd do it jerk, just wait for a clearing and guess what. If you wanna go faster than me once the clove moves over, be my guest, I'll move.

I call these incidents "clusters", as in cluster f%@ks creating a cluster of cars. And it's always a TOYOTA (mostly old camrys and corollas)!
