When driving, what gets the most in your nerves?

lol @ everyone getting pissed at squirrel. Get a life.

The worst is obviously the people who kinda drift back in forth inbetween two lanes. Like they're in their lane, but their car occasionally drifts slightly over into the lane next to them. Usually fags on Cell Phones.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I drive very little, mostly because I find it unpleasant. However, I've determined that nothing bothers me on the road. I may notice someone disobeying a traffic law, but it doesn't bother me. Why? Because I don't know who they are or what might be going through their mind. Also, they haven't done anything to me, so why does it matter? The guy cuts you off, but you didn't take any damage, right? Neither of you is injured. You can still get to wherever it is you're going. This is just one possibly scenario. No matter what it is, though, I find myself not concerned with any behavior on the road.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Things that piss me off....hmm...well:

1. People who taligate, obviously one of the more common complaints.

2. The most reprehensible kind of person who would go out of their way to fucking hit a bag or a piece of cardboard or god forbid a cat or dog or other animal. Congratulations asshole, you got 10 extra points. Die fucker.

3. OLD PEOPLE. I can't believe no one has mentioned SENIOR DRIVERS yet. Heaven't you guys ever seen the South park episode? Anyways, Senior drivers are the worst. I've seen old people go flying through stoplights that have been dead red for more than 10 seconds. It seems that all seniors either drive way too slow or dangerously fast.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Aside from tailgaters, which I think we can now declare to be universal, I've a few pet peeves of my own:

When two people are going the same speed, right next to each other, in different lanes, preventing anyone from passing either one of them and backing up traffic for a lightyear.

People who rubberneck at a minor traffic accident or pull-over, slowing down to 25 MPH in the missle of rush hour.

People who hit the gas when you try and pass them. The turnpike isn't the Indy 500, and letting someone pass you does not automatically mean that you have a tiny penis. Thank you.

My number one pet peeve is when people make rude gestures or faces, at me or anyone else. Whether they have cause or not, it's the last thing people need on the road, and drivers bust out the deuces for the most trivial things. Plus, in this state, you never know if someone may be armed.

I was speaking idiomatically.

So many things to list... so little time before I can logoff and go home for the day...

• Tailgaters who think it is okay to drive 50+ mph through a residential area and school zone.
• Drivers who think that dawn and dusk does not require them to turn on their headlights
• Pedestrians who do not push the magic button so that they are able to legally cross the street. Nothing worse than having to wait on a pedestrian to cross against a signal on an already short light
• speaking of pedestrians, drivers who are so impatient that they will nearly run over a pedestrian while they are still in the crosswalk... or that honk at me while I wait for said pedestrian to get to a safe point that I can make my turn
• Traffic jams over the littlest shit... there could be a shoe in the middle of a lane on the freeway and the entire freeway comes to a grinding halt
• Assholes who think that bouncing from lane to lane in the previous example will get them anywhere any faster
• Drivers who cannot handle changes in the weather. I live on the Los Angeles area... and these people cannot handle a sprinkle of rain without going apeshit nuts on the roads
• Drivers who when making right turns take up the entire lane in order to make said turn instead of scooting over closer to the curb
• Boneheads who change out their own headlights and do not adjust them to the proper angle so that you are being blinded because they have them aimed too high
• *shit three minutes to go*
• Drivers who ignore the "Right Turn Only" signs and blast through an intersection to get ahead of everyone else
• Driver who know that a lane is merging into another lane and will ride it out as far as they can in the merging lane in order to possibly get a car length ahead of where they might otherwise be

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

i hate cars who go 5 and more under the speed limit, it pisses me off to no end. Living in San Francisco, everyone is in a rush, so i have adopted the aggressive driving atitude and people who drive slow just aggreviate me. I also hate when people slow down a quarter mile before a stop light espically on hilly roads as i drive a stick.

Say the light is green and they are a quarter a mile away, instead of speeding up and catching the green light, they gradually slow down at a snail's pace and by the time they do reach the light, it has turned red and im stuck behind them and then some asshole gets right on my ass and i have to pray that i don't roll back on the steep ass ncline due to having a stick.

Most amazing jew boots

Well...traffic.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Yeah, I hate driving in this city. I BART into work Monday-Friday and if I ever have to come here for any other reason, I'll find the closest BART station then call a cab. Driving here, around the business district, is scary stuff.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Being a pedestrian in Downtown San Francisco is scary stuff... I've barely gotten to an area that is wide enough for a car to go between me and the curb and they're turning... damn near clipping me in the process.

And it's because of downtown that I refuse to drive while visiting my wife's family up there...

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Mostly everything bugs me when i'm driving, I get prety mad. But i have lots I mean LOTS of assholes not using their signals almost had some accidents cause they don't signal, and i think they're going straight, but nope, they're turning. Also, people pulling out in front of me is a big piss off, happens a lot, then they go below the speed limit.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Yah... those are the ones I truly do wish would just die, are the ones who would go out of their way to hit animals. I don't even see how anyone could be so sadistic.

The other things I hate -

- Tailgaters of course.
- Big trucks that feel the need to drive as if they're a racecar.
- Double parkers
- People who think I should be going faster when I'm already going the speed limit. I don't speed. It wears down a car faster, is more dangerous, and seriously hurts the gas mileage.
- People who run past stop signs without stopping or ignore red lights.
- Detroit drivers that feel the need to shout at me to take my "fucking Honda back to fucking Ohio"

How ya doing, buddy?

-People who don't use their turn signals. If you're going to make a lane change or a turn, I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult to flick a little stick. Who knows? It might avoid accidents!

-Cellphones! I can't stand it when a driver keeps swerving because they're talking on their cellphone. At least a headset would be nice, if you really must talk on the phone.

-Tailgaters. It's not safe for them, and it's not safe for the other cars around them.

-People who have dinner behind the wheel! I don't have anything against eating behind the wheel, but if it's going to really distract you, stop! I had the misfortune of riding in a car whose driver was munching on food and taking his eyes off the road frequently. The worst part was that the road was twisting and turning at the edge of cliffs and whatnot. I believe it was California Route 1, but I'm not too sure. Anyways, I was ready to jump out into the ocean. That was quite some time ago though.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Cyclists
They are a car when they want to be and a pedestrian every other time. When driving you have to be especially cautious with them, since it doesn't look godd if a driver takes out a cyclists. The ones that are particularly bad are the ones that take up to much space in car lanes.

How ya doing, buddy?

--Heavy Traffic: I like to cruise at the speed limit, but too many cars causes me to slow down too much
--Taligaters WITH slow cars ahead of me
--When right lanes merge (which happens way too often on my route to work)
--Pot holes
--Sunday drivers
--Fast changing lights

Good thing the Saturday and Sunday commute has such light traffic, it's the best driving I get in all week.

FELIPE NO

Not too much pisses me off... but I don't understand how people can leave their turning signals on while they're just driving down the road. Can't you hear it?? I't like an off-beat metronome, it drives me crazy.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

People who follow too close are irritating, and I also don't like it when people in front don't signal and turn too late. I've avoided a few potential accidents like that many times already.

Happens all the time. It seems the frequency of sudden turns without the signal increases with heavier traffic, just when you should use the turn signal more often.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Apart from people who don't use turn signals properly or at all (watch a roundabout for five minutes and you'll see what I mean), people who don't understand when to give way to people coming the opposite direction, and hold everyone else up in the process. Here in England you're supposed to give way to traffic approaching your right (driver) side at a roundabout or junction, but you see so many pricks who just stop there gawking while a huge line forms behind them. Also, if there's an obstruction (such as a parked car) on your side, you pull up behind it and give way to oncoming vehicles, you don't gun it and see if you can get past before that eighteen-wheeler smashes up your car. That last one probably doesn't happen as much in the US where the roads are generally wider/better than ours, but here it just winds me up.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

My dad told me about a tailgater he literaly ran into. My dad was driving a fairly big truck, while the tailgater had a smaller truck. The tailgater was getting pissed off at him, so my dad just put on the brakes causing the smaller truck to get pushed under his bumper leaving his truck perfectly ok, and the asshole got a hell of alot of damage. My dad got out of the truckand yelled "YOU SCRATCHED MY BUMPER!" meanwhile the other truck was heavily dented...

As for me, I just don't really care for driving and have nowhere to drive to yet as just got my L and have no job yet... I'll just say I hate driving school instuctors

Most amazing jew boots

When cars drive too slow on a major highway. I was driving today and a Hertz passed this other car, and I just had to laugh... and pass the incredible slow moving vehicle.

How ya doing, buddy?

Slow people. I don't like wasting time and they're wasting my time by driving slow. Now I'm not talking about driving at the speed limit. That's completely fine with me. I'm talking about those that drive at a speed of about half the speed limit. So annoying...

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

People who aren't pay attention to the road due to other distractions. They are the main cause of accidents and near-accidents.

FELIPE NO

Senior drivers, esp. the ones where I live. They are at their worse when it rains, they hit just about anything and everything! It always makes me so paranoid having to drive on days like that. I know all seniors aren't like that, but some of them ought not to be driving.
I hate it when I have my turn signal on long enough to let the idiot behind me know I am going to be making a turn and they are on a CELL PHONE and finally notice as they are just about ready to hit me to stop! This happened AGAIN today.
And I just love it when people use there telepathic turn signals too. -.-

This is especially annoying when a tailgater is right behind you...
I think almost all the people who drive too slow are too scared to drive at the speed limit (which is why they shouldn't drive) or honestly think the speed limit is lower, they should just use the backroads if they're going to drive so slow.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

When people turn at the last second w/out putting on their turn signals or they do but at the last second as well & when people just swerve all over the lanes. As well as when they go like 100mph thinking the street is only for them.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
