Do you get pissed at drivers that don't make their right turn on a red...

What annoy me even more is that Sunday drivers regularly drives 37-39 KMPH in 50 KMPH zone and blocking you when the street is empty.
 
Depends, if it's 2 lanes and there's another car in the other lane, I don't really expect the other car to use "the force" and hope no car is coming because they can't see the road because of the other car in the way.

Pisses me off when people beep at me when I'm at a red and not turning. I'm not going to just assume there's no car coming if I can't see the road. If it's at night, I can go by headlights, but even then, that's risky, there could always be some ass driving without any for whatever reason.

Speaking of that, I hate people who honk right when the light turns green because they expect you to floor it. I always wait a second before taking off because I dont want to die to some idiot who decides to run the red light.
 
Whether I turn right on red often depends on the person behind me. I'll turn right on red any time its allowed unless the person behind me has been driving like a prick. Then I'll make them wait. Kinda douchey of me I know, but it makes me feel a little better.

Sometimes I just relax and wait for the light to turn green. I have all day to spend at work, no reason to hurry getting there. On the way home, I'm relaxed because the day is over.

Most of us tend not to relax because we'll get fired if we're late too often 😉
 
It's illegal in the UK to go anywhere on a red, but when I was in america, no I didn't get pissed with it.
 
Of course they piss me off. Then again, it is preferable to be pissed off than pissed on.

I don't get into a fit of rage, yelling and screaming and pumping my fists. I find it makes you look better if you remain perfectly still and be cool while suppressing the rage in a very, very deep, dark place.

There is no late for me, really. Work hours are pretty relaxed. Some people come in at 7:30, others at 9:00. As long as you get eight hours in everyone is happy.
 
Funny thing about that... at the Walmart across the way from where I work, it has a smaller side entrance which goes straight across the main road into the campus where I work at a traffic light. Makes for convenient travel when I decide to go pick up something for lunch. There's a railroad track that runs parallel to it and across the main road. Naturally I thought it was odd that there was no sign prohibiting right on reds there.

Fast forward a few months, and coming out of there one day I noticed that there was a brand-spanking-new sign there. It didn't impact me, since I go straight across. Fast forward again a week or so later... the sign was gone. I thought that was odd... and people were happily doing right on reds across a railroad track again.

Several months later, I noticed yet another sign had been put up. No more than 3 days later, the sign again disappeared. It has been gone ever since.

Needless to say, I won't do a right on red AT ALL, ANYWHERE, unless I so desire. Fuck you all.

No. Unlike having a green signal, where proceeding is required to maintain the flow of traffic, right on red when allowed is still always optional.

Holy @*#( do I ever, should be a ticketable offense, honestly.

Only the driver of that car can decide if it is safe to turn or not. Calm down, the few seconds you have to wait is not going to change your life any at all, the few seconds that driver saves could kill him and others if he is wrong.
