Very funny! My traffic agro, which is pretty high on the scale, is motorists who come to a complete stop before making a turn, any turn. Even when traffic behind them is rolling along at 40 mph.
I happen to like the “we” thing. But then again I was quite fond of kindergarten. haha.

Excellent post and an excellent idea for a new system. I’m in. Will it be based on a scale of 1 to 10?
When I was a lad growing up in London, the local thugs used to use the word “agro” as a noun, as in: “Let’s go out and cause some agro.” And they did.
On my current list of personal agros (3.8 on a scale of 10): The majority of our otherwise delightful Tucson restaurant servers appear to have recently replaced the word “you” with the word “we,” as in “Have WE decided what WE’d like to order tonight?” or “Would WE like anything else this evening?”
It sounds as if WE are back in kindergarten. Please find another way to be friendly. I know you mean well.

Your description of Three-agro-Arnie hit the nail on the head of my #1 agro. I often wonder what the person who flies by the long line of cars only to find himself in a disappearing lane (just as has been promised by five signs over the last mile or so) was thinking. Is he thinking, “Why are all those idiots sitting there in a line of traffic that isn’t moving when this lane is wide open?”. Or, is he thinking, “My concerns and appointments are clearly far more important than those of the other fifty people in this line. Surely they will see this truth as plainly as I do and let me cut in line.”

Are there any Argo-Annonymous meetings in Tucson?
