I haven't encountered that culture since leaving high school. At my work (programming department of large company) we recommend books to each other and often stop work for half an hour to have philosophical and/or technical discussions. It's not planned, but someone will say something and everyone will gather around and off we go.
You just have to find a good bunch of people all in one place.

Cant say I've ever been that way, although I'm headed to UMSL tomorrow to get my copy of Tiger so I may be going that way, have to mapquest it (Only time I've really driven east of the Frontenac area was going to Illinois over 40, and the furthest north I recall driving is 270 to 70 west)

I forgot something that is perhaps my biggest blood-boiler: political correctness and soft, mutilated speech that is designed for the sole purpose of appeasing oversensitive weenies.
Political correctness
Drivers who don't use their headlights in a dark, blinding rainstorm. This makes lane changes and left turns across an oncoming traffic lane a lot of fun. 🙄
Other (dis)honorable mentions:
The "wave" at stadium sporting events. It's annoying and distracting.
Cellphone users at sporting events trying to establish visual contact with one another from opposite ends of the stadium. For some reason, it's exciting for these people to see other people waving at them from 100 yards away while talking to them at the same time. Lame. 🙄

Our neighborhood got together for earth day and cleaned all the streets of trash. Next day I took a walk and there was already booze bottle's thrown back on it.

the thing that pisses me off the most is when there is a car accident and even though it isn't blocking traffic at all, and the cops arent' slowing anyone down, there is always a traffic jam anyways, people just slow down (some ******s even stop) to look at the damage that has been done. now, i'm all for curiosity but sometimes you have to draw the line, i mean....horribly mangled corpses? theres enough of that on tv already
All driving, and NO I DO NOT ROAD RAGE!!, just a little venting on Video games though 🙂
1. People who don't signal lane changes or turns.
2. People who make right turns into traffic and go directly to the left lane as opposed to staying in the RIGHT lane.
3. The opposite of 2. People who turn left into traffic, and go DIRECTLY into the Right hand lane.
4. People who tailgate ME when I am stuck behind someone ELSE that is going too slow.
5. People who "hang out" in the left lane when they should be driving in the right or Middle lane. The left lane isn't the Fast lane, it is the PASSING lane.

****ing smokers. I live on the FOURTH floor, and their ****ing disgusting habit drifted up and through the window. Had to close the window, and am now waiting for the ****ing smell to go the **** away.
They can all die of cancer, I'll just laugh at their deathbed, stupid ****ing ****ers.
FOURTH floor for ****ing Christ's sakes.
You want to talk about boiling blood? This is ****ing it.

Myself and so many people I know are guilty of it. I've been on an interstate with a speed limit of 70 where the average speed among drivers must've been about 30 because we were looking at a bad accident across the median (SUV flipped over and was pretty much flattened down)

A bucket of water should sort that. Or if you're feeling sneaky, a water pistol, to extinguish 'em sniper style.
