re: Driving mistakes that make you irrationally angry

Two cars facing each other both turning left on a divided highway, you don’t run in front of the opposing car, you turn behind it.

How about this scenario.? You are the only left turner with little to no traffic behind you. The other left turn lane is full of vehicles and the traffic lanes you’re hoping to cross are heavily congested. Do you still go behind the first opposite left turner, blocking the left turn lane when it would be clear sailing for all of the opposite side left turners? Or do you go in front and wait for an opening, allowing the opposite left turn lane to clear since they have no traffic in front except for you?

I don't agree with that, though I realize some busy-body driver's ed teachers make this claim.
From the Virginia Driver's Manual
“When two vehicles are approaching each other and signaling to turn left, both vehicles should take the inside path, the lane closest to the center,” the manual reads. “They will complete the turn by turning in front of each other.”
ETA- If the area where you both sit in the median is striped or just really big, then I do agree with your way. You did say "divided highway."
