If I'm waiting at the light, I'm not creeping out into the intersection so the dude behind me can save 1.42 seconds. Wait your turn. And if your past number 5 in line, tough shite if you miss the light.

When merging, the person behind in the shitty car going across the white lines to get in the same lane the person in front is heading towards.

I will be happy when they have self driving cars. I can handle business instead of dealing with frickups and the frickups won’t be fricking up because they won’t be driving, the computer will. Win win.

Moving from their lane on the Interstate to your lane (in front of you) to pass somebody that was in their lane...but then NEVER immediately getting back over to their original lane once they passed. (This is sort of a more nuanced "going too slow in the left lane" situation)
i understand for passing normal vehicles BUT if im passing an 18 wheeler im going to give them a good amount of clearance before getting back in his lane, and it pisses me off when people behind me merge right in front of the truck to get around me as soon as they have room.

My big one is when I stop at a red light - wait for traffic to clear and turn into the correct lane - then the a-hole behind me immediately runs the run light and guns it into the left lane. All of this happens when I need to change lanes to turn at the next intersection. I seriously want to fight these people.
In fact - anyone that drives with aggressive acceleration annoys the frick out of me. It's hard on your vehicle and it makes driving for everyone else dangerous. It's not a drag race motherfricker. Some day I'm gonna hit one of these dumb fricks doing this and my 8,000 lb truck is going to send their tiny little Corolla flipping on its roof onto the median.

Eh.. I’ll take this over the idiot who pulls into the middle of the intersection to turn left prematurely, only for traffic to back up on the side street - causing him to sit blocking the middle of the intersection when his light turns red.

What burns my arse is when a car is turning left onto the divided road (usually from a smaller cross street) and the driver pulls into the gap diagonally, blocking any other vehicles from crossing the median.

People using the center turn lane to merge into traffic.
Posted on 6/21/22 at 7:26 pm to Big Scrub TX
Using the merge lane to stop and wait until no car is visible within 1/2 mile.

Drivers who lackadaisically get over in to the turn lane 3/4's of the way from where it starts with no blinker
Posted on 6/21/22 at 8:52 pm to Big Scrub TX
I'm a very proactive driver, not aggressive. But I pretend I'm in a jet fighter, fighting for me life. I despise super aggressive drivers these days. Examples: I pass someone on the interstate, using my blinker without even remotely coming close to cutting anyone off. I'm passing a 70mph driver, going 80+ but some douchenuts comes zooming going 100+, out of nowhere and rides my arse when I have my wife and young kids in the car. It happens pretty much every trip.
Speeders on a road with timed lights are my favorite ignoramuses though. People will ride up my arse, zip in and out of traffic, run lights, only to have me pull up slowly and do a rolling acceleration and leave them looking at their puds.
People speeding in residential areas deserve to be tarred and feathered. Going 40 in a 20 is incredibly dangerous in a neighborhood full of kids and pets. I had a little 3yo somehow wrest free of his mom and bolt right in front of me once. Had I killed that kid I probably would've killed myself. It just ain't worth it.
I hate dipshit slow drivers too, but I assumed that was all well-covered so I went the perturbed old man route.

If you hang your front out into oncoming traffic and get hit it is your fault. If you are hanging into the lane you came from and someone from that lane hits you it is their fault.
Not saying I like it, it just influences where I let my car hang out when turning left if there isn't enough room for the vehicle to completely fit in the median area.

This. I travel with work (about 45,000 hwy miles/yr). This annoys me so much. I call a lot of these 60/90s….drive 60 while looking at their phone and 90 when they sit it down.

Getting honked at by some douche if I don’t make a turn when I don’t feel 100 percent safe doing it because the cars approaching are coming fast.
Posted on 6/21/22 at 9:48 pm to Big Scrub TX
Has anyone mentioned drivers that stop or almost stop before entering a clear roundabout?

I always use my cruise control on interstate and I want to kill motherfrickers that pass me up in the left lane, then get into the right lane and fricking slow down, making me change lanes and pass them. Then two miles later they pass me again.
I want to PIT maneuver these fricks.

When I'm on a 2 lane road going 5-7 miles over the speed limit and some jackass is still riding my arse.
People who assume my 18 wheeler is governed and zoom around me just to drive slower than my intended speed.
Not all truckers are assholes that try to pass annoyed truck doing a half mile slower than he is. It's just the mega carrier drivers that are dipshits.

This REALLY bugs me, because I lived in Utah for 30 yr and people were pretty good about using that space in the intersection to make a left. BUT, I've noticed since moving back here (Shreveport), that when the light turns yellow in my lane, the oncoming lane is often still green and to make the left may end up being a head-on, so I end up waiting to make sure the oncoming traffic is slowing/stopping. There are still plenty, though, who just sit there waiting for their arrow or absolutely no one in the oncoming lanes.

-- Realizing you need to be in the turn lane (whether right or left) and coming to a complete stop with your blinker on and holding up traffic behind you because you're too stupid to proceed forward and look for a proper place to turn around.
-- Ignoring the "Turn only" sign on the lane your in and proceeding as far as you can go then stopping in the turn lane with you blinker on holding up traffic behind you because you're too stupid and impatient to sit in a lane that has traffic in it.
-- TEXTING or otherwise having your face stuck in a phone while driving.
Baton Rouge has the lowest IQ drivers on the planet.
