irritating drivers

here are some pet peeves of mine that make driving not enjoyable:
people who take the right of way when its not painfully obvious its not theirs.
people who do the same and then stop halfway and then piss you off even more by sitting there waiting for you to make your move but they have already CLEARLY blocked your ability to do that.
(rare) people who cross in front of you who have to yield who look like they are going to wait for you to go by but end up pulling out in front of you when its less safe than when the decided to wait instead of just going.
people who take an excrutiatingly long time to come to a stop at a stop light they see which is clearly indicated by the fact that 5 other cars slowed down but not to a CRAWL. You are either always behind this asshole grinding your own brakes just to not run into them or they are impeding your ability to change lanes.
people who stop right before their lane changes (i.e you are changing from n-s to e-w and have your own lane to do so) when its not legal to do so because they are too stupid to just be careful and slow down so that anyone crossing that line doesnt hit them, so instead you run the risk of hitting them in the back while simultaneously pissed off that they are blocking your progress at all.
people who stop when they dont have to and arent supposed to while you are stopped at a stop sign because you have to.
people who are afraid to "shoot the gap" when its painfully obvious that you could have shot the gap with a ground bound jumbo jet at half speed.
people who back out of parking spots who are visibly NOT EVEN AT LEAST LOOKING OUT THE REAR VIEW.
people who dont stay in their own lane when crossing from n-s to e-w (especially when they almost hit you)
people who speed up when you signal to change lanes. (i change lanes anyway, he he)
people who dont use their turn signal.
people who use their turn signal but only flash it for one second after they are already halfway in the lane anyway. (oh, by the way...)
(rare) people who use the wrong turn signal altogether.
people who stop at yield signs for absolutely no reason.
polish roadblocks (people driving the same speed in different lanes so you cant get around them at all.)
I find driving very irritating, if i didnt have to do it, i wouldnt.

mine...
people that don't know how to merge.
people that drive slow in the fast lane.
when someone is turning and they go as slow and diagonal as humanly possible...just fucking turn.
When people are not turning right but use the right lane.... not always but in some situations just because here you can turn right on a red and i don't like sitting behind someone who could be in the other lane and i could be turning.
btw I think... yield signs should be treated as stop signs in most situations unless it is obviously clear or there are no cars around.

i agree with all of the above wholeheartedly. and on the yield, i mean they stop when its obvious that no one is coming.
yeah, the not turning right thing is annoying, more so when they had the option not to be. for a long time i had to turn right to go into the area where my house is (coming home from work). its irritating to have to wait a couple minutes and a half when if i didnt have to it would be 15 seconds. at that point you JUST WANT TO BE HOME. the more annoying thing is at least five times people jump over into that lane at the last minute for NO REASON WHATSOEVER. Thats when i get in the lane they where in and turn from that one just so i dont have to deal with it. (which is worse than crossing the double white line which is actually easier but if i have the option i want to do the more absurd thing for reasons i dont fully understand)

people who give up the right of way expecting YOU to go.
people who pull into parking lots or right turns at excruciatingly slow speeds.
the people who stop on the freeway in order to merge into a stalled lane at the last possible second. (look asshole, i'm doing 70)

i would love driving if people drived like they do in europe. in america, moving over because someone came up behind you and flashed their lights (or even didnt for that matter) SHOULD be the rule, not the exception, wheras in europe people would think you are retarded if you didnt.
i never drove over there but my father has, hes like me, doesnt find driving enjoyable because of the people. kind of like if you wanted to do a martial art but everyone in your particular dojo/studio where assholes.
its just very annoying, and frustrating. i dont expect people to drive like maniacs, in fact i rarely speed, but fer crissake, i cant stand someone going 10 miles under the posted speed limit IN THE FAST LANE as if they have the right to do it. if you want to go 35, by all means go ahead, but USE THE FAR RIGHT LANE. whats that? where you are going requires a left turn? fine, drive 35 in a 45 in the far right lane until about the time that you need to make said turn!!!

I hate people who drive slow in the fast lane until you try to pass them, then immediately speed up to whatever speed you are going.
That shit is annoying as fuck.

I can see how that could be dangerous, but I seriously abhor the new California State law prohibiting talking on the cell phone while driving, except if you're 18 or older you can use BlueTooth. What's retarded about the new law is that it doesn't prohibit texting...? wtf?!

Seattle Area Police Chief Causes Accident Driving While Texting... And BTW, most drivers I encounter on the phone (hand held or not) are distracted, and guilty of almost all of the complaints posted above, especially slowing down when dialing or engaged in deep conversion...I'd love to have a mobile one of these...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_phone_jammer
