The whole situation just frustrating and put me in a bad mood for the next hour
When you let little incidents like that put you in a bad mood for the next hour it's not good at all. You gotta take life easier, man.

Yup...like the snow on the ground or the atrocious drivers littering the 401/403 with their presence...I ignore it and pretend it isn't there.

Instead listen to 820-Funny on the am dial. Chillax and laugh at the classic or contemporary comedy bits from professional comedians 24/7

What's the most considerate thing you've seen another pilot do? I'm tossing down the gauntlet. Go for it.

One of the nicest things I've had another pilot do for me, was the Wasaya crew who picked up my backpack for me in ZPB! I left it in the MTO building and asked a departing crew at YXL if they'd mind grabbing it for me. They did. Very kind of them. I've seem several of their crews taxi the Hawkers around up north to avoid blowing hot air on anybody, even when it meant taking the "long" way around. Very considerate. A few PC12 and Caravan drivers should pay attention here.
The most considerate thing that I've seen? I would have to say any pilot that cleans up after themselves. I enjoy coming into a nice clean cockpit that is organized :D
(I'm slightly OCD)

I believe this thread started as a discussion about assholes in traffic:

Even more when the preceeding crew came in it!

Happened to me on the 400 south bound below Barrie in Rush hour. Picked a bad load of diesel on a very cold winter day and the fuel gelled slowing the tdi up instantly with a big bummer on my ass ...couldn't move right because of traffic. Boy was he pissed off!
OK I guess there is one or two reasons this is ok.

I seem to attract this weird phenomenon where I set my cruise to ref plus 10 and whenever I pull up next to someone to pass them they speed up till they're in my blind spot and then stay at exactly the same speed. Now I have to risk a ticket to loose them or I'm the asshole.
