More than likely this has already been mentioned...but...

Driving behind someone doing 30 in a 45 zone. There is a limit sign every 25 ft and they are slugging along. I can only tolerate for approx 3 min then I sashay my tailgate to their front bumper.

^^even worse is when it is in the passing zone. I understand if you don't feel comfortable driving the speed limit. (well, actually I don't because I have a lead foot!) but still-stay out of the damn fast lane!!!!

Along the same lines - I hate when people feel the need to drive 5-10 miles under the speed limit because there is a cop present on the road. give me a freakin' break.

Driving to work yesterday I was becoming VERY frustrated because everyone was going 25mph. FINALLY I got a window to get around the slow pokes - and I saw what was keeping them all at bay - a cop. Well I though, screw it I'm not doing anything wrong - and I drove the speed limit - passed everyone.

Basically driving has become an exercise in anger management.

Absolutely. I used to LOVE driving. I hate it now. Traffic is terrible, all the time now. Sit through f*cking light after f*cking light.
Wait, wait, wait.

Indeed - and since my accident in July I've been so nervous (about other drivers) on the road -and I hate that.

I don't know about where you live - but I'm fairly certain Greeley is the land of the longest lights. Good God - wait indeed - I waited at a light by my house through an entire song this morning

I'm about 5 miles from town. I "HAD" two routes to town. One was already inundated with traffic lights. So, I still had a good route, til a couple months ago. Walmart is now abandoning their regular Walmart(with convenient 4 lane highway access), for a SuperWalmart, which is OUT OF THE WAY of easy access! It opens in a few weeks. Traffic will be at a standstill(there's not enough roadway for more than 10-15 cars to exit Wallyhell, then the street will be full, to the next light).
So now both my routes are endless stop lights....

One of mine too. People who are chronically late are arrogant.

My other pet peeve is childless people who like to give advise on raising children.

Welll...to my defense I was a (live-in) nanny for two years - and read lots of books - and helped raise a child

But we childless ledgies do go on a lot about how to raise children
