When people pass you right before they stop and turn onto another road.
Seriously seems like the theme with everyone right now! Must be the holidays.... Happens all too often.

When people get in front of you and slow down.

Nah happens other times, they overtake you on the freeway then take the freeway exit that is coming up in 10meters.

I hate it when people out of town enter the EXIT lane of a small strip mall in front of an opening bridge when the lane is clearly marked with EXIT signs...

When I travel to France most weekends, at the English Eurotunnel entrance, truckers always pull out of the truck lanes and go into the car lane and cannot get back in. This gets annoying, but I moved the cones (as they were building the new entrance) and drive past the truck. And I went:
LOSER!

When it's green and other cars are not going right way, like about 3s for them to start, crawling slowly up to speed ...

Oh, here's one and on my driver's test. The light was green, but I couldn't go due to people still turning at the intersection. So, the driver behind me decides to honk his horn at me despite the fact that I can't go when there's still cars in front of us finishing their turn. *facepalm*

People really do have tunnel vision when they drive....either that or they're homicidal maniacs who see a person in front of them and want to kill them. 
Taking a left into my dealership's parking lot only to watch as people in the oncoming lane started to gun it. Same happens when you're a pedestrian trying to cross the street....

When people feel the need to drive 10-15 mph below the speed limit (I'm talking to you old grandma's). And no one takes the honk of a Dodge Aries seriously.

Someone clearly sees you coming their way when turning right and pulls out anyways..
This has happened twice now in three days, at the same intersection... Luckily for me, I can pass them by the time I reach them. Bad thing is, especially where I live, when I do pass them people have the tendency to get pissed off, real fast. So today it happened again, except I outran them:

Usually bad drivers don't bother me too much. I spent 3 years of my life as an over the road commercial driver. I still have my class A license should the need arise. Somehow I ended up a driver at my current job. Not in an 18 wheeler any more, just a car, well a Fiesta lol. I did get to back a truck in at work due to an inept driver failing badly at backing. I love to drive, I enjoyed my time driving the big trucks mostly. It changed my perspective of driving. I tried to be courteous, but I had a schedule to keep too. I think I have been in most every scenerio listed here. I still get mad but it passes faster now.
I hate it when a Police Car is cruising along my way. Everyone just bunches up behind them on a multi lane road. The officers get tickled, and annoyed by it too.

There's almost always one intersection I go through where everyone uses the shoulder as a right turning lane.... The ACTUAL right turning lane is also a straight lane, but people prefer not to wait.

Why do people stop a full car length short of the crosswalk at a light? Sure, don't stop in the middle of it, but it's really not that hard to stop closer. I also avoid people with their blinker left on, because if they're not paying attention to that, what else are they not paying attention to?

When people don't put on their blinker before making a turn. Doesn't happen too often, but it's mighty annoying when it does.

Some are a form of other complaints posted in here, but I pay close attention to other drivers and hate them dearly... ahem:
- When people move into the TURN ONLY lane AND THEN turn on their signal.
- When a cop pulls me over for not signaling in a turn-only lane when the normal lane I'm already in terminates in said turn-only and there's no one across the street to signal to. I once had a cop driving on the perpendicular road - 1130pm, no other cars on the road - make two illegal u-turns to get behind me for this. In another similar time/traffic situation, I had a cop half a mile back see me not signal to the empty street that I was about to turn, only for him to rush up on me and follow me home. **** the police.
- When people change lanes, not signaling until they're already half way into the other lane. I may (safely) drift in front of them, THEN turn on my signal after I'm completely in their lane just to make fun of them.
- When people stop short at a stop light, then spend the duration of the red inching forward. When someone next to me does that, I inch forward several times in quick succession just to make fun of them.
- When people jump into the empty lane at a stop, only to not take off any quicker (oftentimes they're even slower) than the car they would have been behind. It's great when I ride their ass (not THAT close, mind you), so they get back behind the car they were following to begin with, and I floor it past them.
- When people tailgate you on a country road... when there's no other traffic in either direction. I once brake-checked a diesel pickup after he clearly didn't want to simply overtake me on a very flat and empty highway. He backed off and that was the end of that. My 'winner winner chicken dinner' hazard lights may have come on briefly... just to make fun of him.
- When a driver is going back and forth between lanes trying desperately to get ahead, only to keep getting in front of and behind you. If it goes on long enough, when they're behind me again, I may obviously slow down to form a road block with the car next to me just to keep them in place. I like making fun of stupid people.
- When someone in front of you is driving below the speed limit for the longest time, only to speed up when you go to overtake even at a rate that doesn't look like you're annoyed.
- When people are on the phone. Just in general. But it's especially frustrating when I miss a green turn arrow because of them not taking off until it's yellow. A friend was once driving behind and to the side of a girl that was texting. He got behind her, then leaned on his horn and swerved back into his original lane. Scared the crap out of her because she thought she had drifted in front of him without realizing it.
- When people cut off a semi truck coming up to a stop. Am I going to hell for wanting to see them get hit?
I may be an ass, but I think it's justified. Sell your car and take a bus.

- Oh! And when people don't stop BEFORE an intersection in backed up traffic, thereby blocking a lane or two of crossing traffic when the lights change. Or it's a smaller intersection on a one-lane-each-way road and their blockage has completely stopped the oncoming lane.

I'll reiterate what I said before, when someone pulls out onto a road without yielding! A woman in a pickup truck did that yesterday at a grocery store, she didn't see me coming. *facepalm*
On top of that, she was driving down a road that was one-way and she was driving the opposite direction of what the arrow showed.

I was once trying to pull out onto a street. An oncoming pickup had his signal on and looked like he was slowing to turn onto my side street, so I moved out into his lane, effectively to take his place. He ended up going straight. I got honked at and flipped off. I don't risk it anymore.

I'm not sure what's going on in Arizona but I think everyone's participating in a secret headlight arms race that nobody told me about. It's one thing to drive around the well-lit suburbs as night with your high beams on, but this morning I sat across the intersection from a RAV4 staring back at me with its high beams on... in daylight.

I hate pedestrians, they are always so slow. I also hate jay walkers, I hate even more when other drivers stop for jay walkers. Pedestrians in my area don't have right of way unless their at a cross walk.

I can understand the hate for jaywalkers, but why pedestrians? In tight city streets of Portland and Seattle, being a pedestrian would be much more enjoyable than driving. And when there are many people on the streets, people aren't exactly speedwalking.
