-left lane drivers
-tailgaters (big rigs, motorcycles, anyone else)
-people who decide to pull out in front of you, forcing you to slow down, instead of waiting literally 2 seconds to let me go with no traffic behind
-drivers who swerve in and out of each lane to get by in traffic, just to literally cross 2 lanes just a few seconds later to make their turn instead of just staying in that lane to begin with
-drivers who don't know how to coast/cruise and find themselves tapping the brakes every other second
-drivers who decide they want to get on front of you, then go slower instead of maintaining speed
-drivers who refuse to use their brakes (those who just high speed yield at stops and those who wait until the very last second to swerve around a braking vehicle in front of them
-drivers (mainly pickup trucks) who cant drive inside their lane and always ride the shoulder kicking up every bit of debris
-drivers who refuse to turn right on red when it is allowed.
-drivers who refuse, but have plenty of time, to get over for active or emergency cars on the shoulder, then go into confusion as they're adjacent to them.

And last but not least, drivers who cant even maintain the speed limit in a 45 or 55, but always find themselves blasting past traffic in a 25 or 35.

Edit: drivers who stop in the straight lane to turn when there's a median for that

Drivers who make a turn, but act like they're turning the titanic and end up completely in the oncoming lane

Another Edit: how could i forget...I'm sitting at a stop waiting for traffic to clear to turn left and some idiot in the right turn lane next to me pulls up further completely blocking my view from that side so now I have to wait for them to make their turn.

That covers about a tenth of the irritants in my day. :laugh:

Sucks to be the first person behind the slow guy on interstate and have to let 10 people by before I can pull into the fast lane.
Or to be behind the guy who goes 30 in the on ramp. "Hey Jack, you realize you're getting on a highway, right?"

Or worse, behind one of those people who stops at the end of the ramp.

There's an intersection I go through most days, where there are 2 left turn lanes, and one lane to go either straight or right. The left arrow comes on first, then once that turns red, the straight/right light turns green. At least once a week I see someone use the closer left turn lane to bypass everyone who's been waiting in the right lane, and almost every time, they nearly cause an accident. That's one place I really wish cop's would keep an eye on, and start handing out fines.

Or how about that jerk who is behind ya on that slow ramp who swerves/cuts ya off entering the lane? You are forced to hit the right shoulder for a second. That escalates my BP quickly!

So after giving this question more consideration, I'd say the thing that bothers me most is when all the lanes are going the same speed. If you want to go the same speed as the guy in the granny lane, get behind him, or get in front of him, but for crap's sake, SOMEBODY GO FASTER THAN SOMEBODY ELSE!!!!!

I passed this lady driver once. Her head was bobbing so I thought she was doing her makeup in the rear view. As I got beside her, she was somehow eating a bowl of cereal and driving.
I saw a guy driving on the highway with a Cockatiel on his arm. All I could think is, "If that bird spazzes out, that guy isn't going to be able to see squat!"
