1.) People that do exactly the speed limit OR less in the left lane on the highway. PLEASE use the left lane for passing. I can't stand getting stuck behind someone and having no way to pass!
2.) People who pull out in front of me and say "Guess I didn't see ya, sun got in my eye". (This just happened 2 hours ago and caused an accident!!) My baby got jacked up and I am really REALLY bummed to say the least.

1. people who park in the handicap spots and are clearly not HC
2. People who are weaving about on the highway while talking on the phone
3. people talking on the phone without a headset, when here at least it is the law
4. people who don't use turn signals
5 people who follow me or anyone else for that matter less than 1/2 half a car length at ANY speed.

1. Lazy idiots who could not walk their fat asses a few stalls over to return their shopping cart.
2. Tailgaters behind you when you are still going well over the limit. If I'm in one of the outer lanes I just drive over the shoulder a bit and hit the gas, this will kick rocks and dirt at them, ha!
3. People who throw cirgarette butts and trash out their window.
4. People parallel parking while on their phone -- women in SUVs are the worst.

People who forget to turn their signals off. People who tailgate you even though you're going 80 in a 60. People going less than 70 in the fast lane. really OLD drivers.

Annoyances
1. The Prius people. No matter how many cars are behind them, starting off they never depress the accellerator more than 1/4 inch so as not to start the gas engine. Takes them two blocks to get to the posted limit.
2. Volvo station wagon drivers. ALWAYS 4-5 mph below the posted. Either a housewife with a cell plastered to her left ear or a guy wearing a tweed jacket with elbow patches, smoking a pipe.
They are all members of the Anti-Destination Society. Nowhere to go and all day to get there.

Your experience with Volvo drivers needs to be updated

Wolwo
I am referring mainly to the old oblong wagons, usually beige and dirty. I'm on the road almost daily so my info is current.

Two footed
Ooo, I forgot one.
Left foot brakers.
Just today I was following a tinbox Kia on the Interstate and the brake lights flashed about every 50 feet. On-off on-off on-off. I finally had to pass him before I went mad.
Get your left foot off that brake pedal!!
BTW, when one these types comes into the MB dealer complaining about slow gas pedal response, the service writers ask whether they are two footed drivers or not.

That's funny. I was thinking the exact same thing...the old 740 wagons tend to be the worst whille the newer Volvos seem to have attracted better drivers.

When someone dangerously cuts me off or makes a turn into my lane while I was going 60km/h then slam on their brakes which almost cause an accident; I give them a friendly honk and they start chasing me in my car.
The truck driver chased me and yelled at me at every red light. He did not stop chasing me until I pulled out my digi cam and took a picture of his stupid truck. I went to the City of Richmond to file a complain but they directed me to somewhere else instead. I was too lazy so I just let it go.

I can agree with all of the things posted (minus the volvo 740 comment).
It pisses me off when people are driving under speed limit in the passing lane, and then get mad at you when you are trying to pass them.
Earlier in the year as I was driving there was a 60 year old or so man going 45 km/h in a 60 zone while in the left lane. As I turn on my signal to get in front of him he suddenly accelerates and makes it look like I cut him off. We come to a red light and the dumb *** gets out of his old red CRV in the left turn lane after skidding to a stop. I take a look in his car and I see his wife and I assume son who seemed rather confused and looked worried. After getting out of his car he came over to mine swearing and waving his hands acting like he was going to do something. He quickly came to his senses when he saw three young men much bigger than him. Grrr.
Bad driving in general makes me angry. People who are bad drivers and then flip you off after they have made a mistake make me even angrier.

This is a fun thread!
btw, I don't know about Volvo wagons, but I have noticed that 99.9% of silver CRV drivers are just TERRIBLE drivers--guilty of almost every violation already mentioned. Is it just me?

Silver
Here, 99.5% of ALL Asian labeled cars are Silver. Silver is as common as dirt. Doesn't show it much, which I guess is the reason buyer of common conveyances are OK with it.
