Don't you hate it when...
...you pass someone who's driving slow in the very left lane on the highway, only to see them talking on their cell phone?
...you're driving down the highway behind someone, they turn on their windshield fluid and the overspray gets all over your hood and windshield?
...you're driving behind someone in stop and go traffic, and that person lets everyone get in front of them?
I encountered all three this morning. DC traffic sucks.
Feel free to add to the list if you want.

When the guy in front of you stops for a yellow light 10 feet from the intersection when you could have easily made it through...
How long do you give someone to start up when waiting at a light? As soon as it turns green, 3 secs and you better be moving, else a tap to the horn is coming.

How about when you're waiting behind someone to make a right turn, the light turns green and they wait for someone on the opposite side of the crosswalk to cross!
...or, when someone on the highway (freeway in L.A.) is on the far left lane and decides that they must exit or die and swerve through 5 lanes, barely missing you....
...or, when you're backing into a parking space in the street with your blinker on and a car gets right behind you and dosn't give you enough space...
...or, when some guy decides to block traffic so he can attempt to get a phone number from a girl at a bus stop, when all he has to do is pull over into a parking lot....
...or, (this has been mentioned) my favorite of all time, when people are driving slow UNTIL you turn on your blinker and try to get over into another lane...then they become NASCAR drivers!!!
UGH, I live in L.A., do you guys really want to have this thread? I can go on for days!

bugs me....when you want to make a left turn (and your the last person trying to get into the turn lane with a cement island to your left) and the person in front of you is so far from the car in front of them that you can't slip pass them, then the left turn light goes green and all the cars go and you're stuck behind the idiot who wouldn't pull up and let you get into the turn lane. Now, you're the first person in the lane waiting at the red light again.
some people are totally unaware of their surroundings or they are just not very polite.

i hate it when i'm driving on the interstate and someone notices my Escort 8500 in the windshield and starts tailgating. i have it mounted just below the rearview mirror, so the display is visible to me and (unfortuntaely) sharp-eyed followers. of course all it takes to remedy that is a drop into 4th and VVVRRROOOM

Having used to live in LA, I used to get mad at people that didn't run the red light to make a left turn. There was sort of an unwritten gentlemen's agreement that said they everyone allows 3 cars to run the red to turn left. One time, I got stuck behind a guy for at least 2 or 3 signal cycles.
I also can't stand people that drive under the limit in the left lane. One time I was approaching a guy doing something like 40 in a 55. I couldn't switch lanes, cause traffic in the next lane was zooming by. The person in front of me decided to come to a complete stop, and flip me the bird out the window. Keep in mind we are in the far left lane of a multilane freeway, in a tunnel no less.
I also can't stand people that leave way too much room between them and the car in front of them, at left turn signals. You know the guy. As soon as the gap gets to the front, the signal turns red by the time that guy gets to the line.
I also can't stand people that get pissed for idiotic reasons. One time I was at a red light signaling for a right turn. The guy behind me honks, gets out of his car, and harasses me, despite the numerous "NO TURN ON RED" signs at the intersection.
I've also gotten honked at/flipped the bird, when I failed to "go" at a green light, despite the fact there are PEOPLE still in front of me in the crosswalk. What am I supposed to do? Run them over?
I also can't stand when there are two left turn signals with a stack of cars in one of them. And the guy at the end, decides to get in the next lane over (cutting you off in the process), to get in the empty turning lane. Then when the light turns green, they crawl into the intersection, and waits for the left lane to clear, so he can turn into the farthest left lane. WTF?! Why did you get into the next lane over?
