1) Mislabeled tools (from my previous thread)
2) People who get mad when I pass them from the right lane. (If I am doing this it means you are going to slow. MOVE OVER)
3) The Gardiner Expressway
And all I am going to say is: Minorities. They don't drive any different than anyone else. They are just more visible.

On Sunday we were cruising along and the all of a sudden traffic stopped, for no reason.... and then I hear *sccrrrreeeeeeechhhhhh, BANG"... couldnt see anything... as a started driving in my rearview about 7 cars back i see this SUV smoking, and come compact crushed. The dvp started moving full pace again for 2 monutes and then once again, traffic stopped for nothing.
I HATE the DVP... ppl can't drive worth **** on it!

too many to list, but here's a taste:
- drivers who give up their right of way. it's not courteous - it's dangerous and it leads to confusion and collisions. usually caused by tentative drivers.
- drivers who stop for jaywalkers. obviously if a jaywalker is in your lane you have to stop, but jaywalking is illegal and stopping for a jaywalker on the curb is unlawful. it is also very dangerous and leads to collisions. i have seen 2 jaywalkers hit and killed. both were caused because 1 driver stopped (thinking they were being nice but leading the j/walker to think that they had the "all clear" to run across) while another driver did not stop until it was too late.
- drivers who are too cautious. i'm all for defensive driving, but there is a limit. shoulder checking 12 times before changing lanes or waiting for a full 1-block buffer before crossing a street with cars jammed up behind you is unnacceptable. this leads to enraged affected drivers. this is fine if no-one else is around but if it affects others, pull off the road.
- drivers who wait until the last second to signal left at an intersection. also brutal is drivers who wait at a red with no signal, then as the light turns green then they signal left. if enough notice was given, the drivers behind would switch lanes.
that's a start.

That doesn't bother me, it only bothers me when the DIY ricers have no idea how to aim headlights so their xenons are aimed right into your face
lol right on manh..

Not to mention when your girlfriend locks the car key in the car on winter.. aghh freakin sucks!
Not good, but what about the laser-beam DRLs on new Chrysler and Toyotas?

The Via Rail train strike. If it goes on for more than 2 weeks, it ruins our trip east....

People... period... I just hate them... especially when they're behind a steering wheel...
The stupid little b*tch that takes almost a full minute to realize the light turned green, and the idiot behind them just chillin, annoyed, but won't do a damn thing. I don't care who's in front of me, you are all going to hear my horns blazing.
Slow drivers in the far left lane, especially when they're following traffic speed while in the next car's blind spot, putting me between walls of death.
People driving 50 mph cutting me off in the fast lane when me and the rest of traffic is driving 70mph.
People who have to slow down or stop to change lanes to get to their exit.

- idiots that turn last minute and don't signal and when you horn, they give u the finger!!
- idiots that do not use the horn when needed.. ITS THERE FOR A ****EN REASON.. USE IT!! This one person FELL asleep on a left turn signal and the other retard behind him didn't DO NOTHING.... by the time I realised wtf was going on, it was already too late....
-people who hit the brakes randomly on the road... when there is NOTHING in front of them

Two things that REALLY **** me off and send my blood temperature through the roof.
People that pass me only to cut me off and then take an exit!!! I can't believe how often this happens to me. I swear I wish my G had ram bumpers when this happens!!
People that enter the highway from a ramp and immediately pull onto the highway without merging one f'ing bit and forcing you to nail on the brakes. Hello people, you are supposed to MERGE into the flow of traffic accordingly, not just enter at your own free will. Again.....

I get pissed off when; I am driving in a middle lane, my cruise is set about 115-120 and some ***hole creeps up on my tail, finally passes me, gets back in my lane and then slows down for no reason...
