Default What annoys you the most about other drivers?

1. People who put on their turn signals way before they're ready to turn. I always say they make a big production out of a turn.
2. People who talk on their cellphones drive too slow when they should be paying attention to the road.
3. People who see a bumper on their ass, get the %#ck out of my way!
4. People who are making a turn should try to move all the way to the left or the right so all the people behind them can get by. Remember everyone is in a rush, so move it!
5. Alas whenever I am behind a car with a Handicap liscense plate or a Veteran's liscense plate I know I'm really gonna be really upset cause they always drive too slow for me!!!

That is a really ****ty thing to say.

I can't stand people who tailgate. Not everyone is in a rush. Some of us plan our time well and leave with enough time to get where we're going without driving dangerously.

I hate being tailgated, & it happens most often by SUV, minivan, & truck drivers.

They're up higher & that gives them the illusion that they're moving slower than they think they are. If I'm in a lane to the right, get off my tail, ya redneck, or I'll blast your face with Beethoven.

Conversely, some crappy drivers plop themselves down in the passing lane(s) & then just cruise casually along, while a long line of autos piles up behind them.

I hate being caught in the left lane on a two-lane road when someone is turning into a street or driveway and never let's anyone know until after they've stopped...by that time getting into the other lane is a near impossibility.

And then the people who slow down and abruptly stop right before making a turn. I mean, you really hate that because that's near collision sh*t right there.

Oh dear Lordy I haaaate double parkers. They are the most ignorant drivers out there. Them and people who take parking spaces when somebody was clearly CLEARLY indicating to go into that particular space long before the bastard even arrived.

And people who obstruct the traffic by IGNORANTLY going into the yellow zone where NOBODY is supposed to go. They cause havoc.. and don't give a ****..grr.

Would you rather have them just turn without using a signal? Are YOU one of those drivers? Besides, it's the law that turning requires a signal. That's kind of why cars come with blinkers.

People who ride my ass when I'm going THE SPEED LIMIT. No faster, no slower.

People who take forever to go at a light.

People who stop longer than necessary.

CELL PHONES. Need I say more?

People who blast thier crappy music in the city with the windows down.

People who when taking a turn to the opposite side of the road [say a left turn] don't pull far enough over so you can go around them. Or they take forever to turn in general, clogging up the roads.

And if you're from MA like me, I'm sure you can think of a crap ton more.

In addition to some listed, when approaching a stop sign there is someone coming from the opposing direction who either, decides to speed up in effort to beat you there and/or stops 5 feet before the stop sign and pulls off to go. woohoo...they get to go first!

What annoys me about other drivers?

That they're even on the road at the same time as I am!

Here's another: Chix putting on their makeup 3 millimeters from the mirror in the damn visor while trying to drive. Get up 5 minutes earlier to put on your mascara! And why is it always the mascara I am seeing put on?!

My favorite thing is when I'm either going to or coming home from work, and I'm wanting to get home, and someone pokey comes out of a driveway, seeing me coming and all, and goes about 5 miles a freakin' hour! OMG..
