I hate it when people in front of me on an entrance ramp can't find their accelerator pedal, thus endangering my safety since I can't get up to speed. This is particularly frustrating in places where the general populace thinks that due to short ramps, the "yield" sign means stop. No. A short ramp means get your foot on the goddamn floor and keep it there. I have been known to pass these people on the ramp when they are so slow that it exceeds my short stress coping capabilities.

I'll kill you one day. You piss me off to no end. I like to swerve violently towards people that do that, to scare the beejesus out of them. They usually hit the brakes, and then I can pass.

I hate it when I am in the fast lane, and then the guy in front of me is going slow. so i go to pass him on the right lane and as soon as go into the right lane and begin to speed up past him, he speeds up too ... so stupid and pointless.

Agreed.

Like already mentioned, the one where someone has to force there way in front of me even though there isn't a car behind me for 1/2 a mile.

The swerving cellphone user holding the cellphone with their sholder speeding up and slowing down I imagine to the level of animation of their phone call.
