this has only happened a couple of times, but man it makes me happy.
1. asshat driving way to fast weaving in and out of traffic. Two miles later he is on the side of the road pulled over by a trooper. I blew my horn and waived.
2. Same type driver as above who cant stop in time in traffic and has to go on shoulder. this particular one didn't notice the culvert where he swerved and ended up with his car standing vertical in the culvert. Blew my horn and waived again.

Working nights and going the opposite way as usual morning rush hour traffic on my drive home. Just want to laugh at all the unlucky ones on the other side of the freeway stuck in bumper to bumper traffic.

FTR they're thinking the same thing about you when they're on their way home

I don't take the freeway in to work though, cause I'm leaving my house at 6 when evening traffic is a bitch on the freeways. Surface streets all the way to avoid any traffic

Same guys as above weaving in and out of traffic, a couple minutes up the interstate you pass them because the lane they are stuck in is at a dead stop.

I have a pet peeve about people blowing their horns when it's not necessary (i.e. to warn someone you are there when they seem not to realize it). The only thing that made me smile in rush hour traffic was when some a-hole was laying on his horn just because traffic wasn't moving fast enough and his horn got stuck so he couldn't make it stop blowing. Hope that fricker never got it to stop blowing and pissed off all his neighbors when he got home until the horn finally wore his battery down.

Meth heads and bugger eaters. The only thing is you can't tell them apart. They both have that same guilty look on their face.

if there is a lot of traffic I don't drive like a fool. all the moron prairieville drivers think they are going somewhere every morning on I10 west bound. If everyone would just cruise at a decent speed it would be tolerable. Bunch of clowns speeding up just to brake and then the domino effect starts with braking unneccessarily

Cars that creep into an intersection during rush hour when the light is yellow and block perpendicular traffic during their brief light cycle.

This is called "Block the Box" and is illegal in Georgia.

The police are starting to enforce it now.

People who know they have to get over and wait until right by the light to get over and block both of the lanes. And I look them in their eyes the whole time. Or when you're leaving a place and a person pulls up and block you and looks straight ahead, never turning their head at you lol.

I never let people in who waited to long to try and get over to a turning lane... ever. Makes me smile.

I have only witnessed this one 3 times in my life, but every time it was sitting in traffic on I-10 east bound trying to cross over the river into BR:

Wreck or whatever on the bridge, causing everyone to sit and inch along. Cop / Trooper a few cars ahead of me. Some a-hole decides they are wayyyy to important to wait in the traffic like everyone else and decides to get on the shoulder and make a run for the bridge in front of everyone. Cop sees, hits the rollers and gives them a ticket on the spot. Love it

I love watching people get mad because I won't let them out of the Starbucks parking lot as soon as they pull up to the street. If you have time to stop and get crappy expensive coffee then you have time to wait till the next light.
