What's so annoying about them? People who forget to turn their high-beams off - now THAT'S annoying.
They are not pointing down onto the surface, they are aiming parallel. They craete a glare on the surface, especially when wet.
It seems you have no clue how many people out there are having problems with their eyes...
If you'd know this, you'd NEVER have them on, because if an oncoming driver is having a problem with his vision because of your fogs... It is absolutely possible he will crash with you... And then... Wait for the lawsuits...

i drive with them on all the times, makes the car look more planted. pus, unless you have some stupid foglights you got from autozone or kragen, the beam pattern from OE doesn't bother ANYONE. Jeees.
does it annoy me when others drive with them on? NO

OK, wrong word. Not annoying, it's fucking stupid!

... I am sure that the fog lights in Europe are much stronger than the fog lights in the US so I think you all are talking about different things. The US ones are cosmetic only and are similar to daytime running lights. ...
Nope!
They are EXACTLY the same!
