What is everyone's pet peeves while driving? What ****es you off the most?

Personnally it is MF'ers who do not use their blinkers. I use mine religiously, so I can B!tch about this one. I also hate the nincompoops who drive with them on. It makes driving fast that much harder because you have to second guess the nincompoops.

I hate those ***s that get in the right lane at a stop light when the left lane is open, therefore making impossible for cars behind that one car to turn right on red.

Did anybody mention tailgaters yet?

I hate it when people tailgate me even though I'm going 10-20 mph over the speed limit.

Two of mine

1) I'll have to agree with others here who have mentioned "people who leave their blinkers on forever." What is the deal with these people? I always hope that when I pass them, I hear hip hop music thumping and bumping, or something! At least that would justify to me why they can't HEAR the frigging blinker click. But nine times out of ten, the car is silent and the person driving is just oblivious to this little "click-click click-click" noise they must be hearing. (Not to mention SEEING the blinker indicator.)

2) At a red light, when I am sitting in the second lane from the right because the right lane is for parked cars, often people (especially SUV drivers) will pull beside me in the right lane. I am not an aggressive driver, but this sort of thing irks me, because the person is basically just saying, "I plan on cutting you off before I hit those parked cars on the other side of the intersection, you ready?" So I like to make it as challenging as possible. Luckily, with SUVs, that's really quite easy. I really enjoy it when they can't merge in before the parked cars and have to brake and wait for an opportunity.

UGH!! i cant stand that!! makes me wanna run them off the road and just
