Truckers don't really bother me, I have sympathy for them because their vehicles are like 70 feet long, which I'm sure makes it a heck of a lot harder to drive. That and most people are oblivious to them and don't try to accomodate them when they need it (i.e. by getting out of the way when they're going up or down a hill or allowing them to merge). The drivers that really piss me off are the ones who aren't considerate of other people. One thing that annoys me is when they pull out in front of me, making me hit my brakes when there's no one behind me. Why not just pull out behind me? Something that REALLY pisses me off is when there's a long line at an exit ramp, and they just fly by until the last second and then suddenly "decide" they want to exit. I was trying to get OUT of the exit line to go to a different exit one time, and this guy in a BMW comes along and wedges himself in right in front of me in the space I had left to pull out, but his back end was sticking out into the middle of the interstate, preventing me from pulling out and blocking traffic in that lane. Idiot.
Another one I see all the time is when there's heavy traffic on 206, they'll fly past on the right lane for the jughandle, then they'll just turn right out of the jughandle so they're still going the same direction, they just skipped about 100 cars.
Just the other day I was walking on the road and I see one guy making a left turn, and he was in the turning area of the median strip (hard to explain - 2 lanes on each side, divided road, with a wide median with a break every once in a while to allow U-turns and left-turns). He was sticking out barely into the traffic lane, and this guy in a BMW (no idea why all the pricks drive BMWs) stops when he clearly didn't have to, lays on his horn and starts screaming at the guy. I was standing on the median strip and saw the whole thing, and I just laughed at the guy. He saw me and glared at me. Oh well.

People piss me off when they coast their tiny cars for as long as possible to 'conserve' gas. I drive a freakin' boat that idles high, so when I get stuck behind one of these a$$holes I have to repeatedly tap my brake every 10 seconds and look like a idiot so I don't ride the guy's bumper. Either that, or I hate 'hovering' over my gas pedal so I don't creep up on someone... either have your foot on the gas or the brake Nancy, or get out of the left lane.
Also, what used to drive me nuts was when I would take I-94 west out to Kalamazoo and the goddamn truckers driving from Detroit to Chicago would pull next to each other on the 2-lane highway and pace each other going like 60. Cars would back up for a mile until one of the jackoffs would pull in front of the other and for the next 10 minutes people would just be in a mad dash to pass the trucks. At that point, mass chaos would ensue with people trying to change lanes to the one without the truck.

Any vehicle produced by Harley Davidson.
Yeah youre badass, dropped $30k on a huge, gaudy, overpriced, slow, inefficient bike. Way to go.
Edit: oh yeah i forgot the most annoying factor, noise!
I cant drive through residential neighborhoods with my stereo turned up at 6am, (nor would i but just to make my point) If i put glasspacks on my car they wouldnt meet acoustics regulations... But a fuggin harley drives by window every night at 3AM and it sounds like its 2 feet outside my bedroom window.

Thats the stupidest thing I've ever heard. If the slow lane is open, and you're dragging your ass in the fast lane instead of just moving over like you're suppose too you're damn right I'm going to pass you in the right lane.
So you're going to make the highways safer by cutting out in front of some one who's passing...some how that is going to stop them from "causing an accident"? I'm sorry, but thats retarded. And sorry, but you DID mean to cut them off. You said so in your first post.

True... But I also hate when I am going well over the speed limit (like 15 or 20 over the speed limit) in the left late and someone comes up and starts tailing me...
Yes, and you're driving a small vehicle that can be easily hidden in the big-rig's many massive blind-spots.
Give trucks a WIDE berth and quit your bitching about stuff that is YOUR fault. It's people like you that really piss me off on the road.
As well as, when they see a cop on the other side of the highway and have to brake from 65 to 50 mph... and the speed limit is 65!!!
I also can't stand people who don't follow posted turning lanes at intersections. There will be a sign that says "right lane for right turns only" and some dipwad will drive the whole way to the intersection in the right lane, and then hit his brakes and stop with their left blinker on trying to get in the center lane to go straight.

I'm sure you guys have seen this happen... but it continuously befuddles me - the lack of brain cells it must take to not comprehend the fact that doing this is retarded.
illustration
You're car B about to turn right onto the main road and you see car A coming at a moderate speed in the left lane. Fine, you're good to go (and you completing your turn will still put him behind you) - make the right onto the road. Then suddenly... WHY THE FVCK does car A change into the right lane (about where X is marked) still going about 30-45mph ?! It's obvious he's not turning onto your road at that speed.
For the retarded: couldn't you, as car A, have waited till you at least pass the intersection where cars are coming out ? I've experienced / seen this so many times I shake my head. It's not like after car A changes to the right lane, they soon make a right turn somewhere. :roll: Retards I swear. This pisses me off to no end since I, as car B, had to jam on the brakes since I had already started making my right. THINK THE FVCK AHEAD.
I mean, even if there were cars in front of car A and he wanted to go into the free lane, wait till after the problem area cause people around car B WILL GO when there is a free lane. car A doing 40mph and car B coming out from 0mph does not make for a good combination. WAIT till after you pass the high traffic area you moron.
(JUST TO ADD TO THIS a story)... I was crossing from the opposite side of the road heading into the left lane of a straight road. A car from the RIGHT lane of the straight road decides to change into the left lane where I had intended to go... I'm already starting my acceleration across as he decides to pull this... and he decides to honk me - and this was no warning honk either. I already saw him changing and I slowed down to let him continue on his way and I would just follow into the left lane behind him... but no... I snapped. I accelerated up and beside him at a stop light, rolled down my window and gave him a piece of my mind. Him and his wife/sister (?) looked at me puzzled. YOU IDIOT, how about thinking ahead next time... cars will turn onto the road if there is a free lane... and you decide to take it when someone's already going there... and you have the balls to honk at me ? He could've waited about 2 seconds to change into the lane instead and would've never had to meet me. :roll: I wish I had a stronger word than IDIOT for these drivers with no foresight.

It's a long straight road with no traffic lights and is one of the MAIN roads so there's a steady stream of cars coming. If car B were to wait until traffic is clear in BOTH lanes, they'd be there a while. You go when there's a free right lane. And it was free... until the guy coming at 40mph decides to take it from you for no fvcking reason other than his stupidity. You want to be the cause of an accident, that's how you do it right there.

driving to work every morning on a two lane country road where the speed limit is 65. it never fails that 3 times a week i get behind some ass who is going 45-50. i cant pass because there is enough oncoming traffic it is not safe to make pass. my blood boils when im behind this moron and can see miles of open road in front of me but i can not pass this idiot.
Here is another that i could just shoot somebody over.
driving on I-25 in denver 3 weeks ago going down to texas to visit my mom. The Sienna is loaded with my wife and 3 kids, got the Thule on the roof rack full of stuff. It was about 7pm and all lanes are full but the left lane is going a bit faster. So im in the left lane trucking along keeping a good 3 second between me and the car infront of me. Well i guess that is way way way too much room for the ass driving a Saab 9-3 behind me. I see him in my right mirror whip into the middle lane come up beside me and pace me for a bit then creeps a little past me to where there is just inches between his bumper and the car infront of him. his lane speeds up a little faster than the left lane which puts his back bumper just centimeters ahead of my front bumper the fu*kwad suddenly whips his car in the left lane and i swear he is going to hit me. i break hard to open more space for this ass.
well my wife and I were beyond rage. I flash my highs at him my wife is calling him every name in the book (which is very unusual for her) and I roll down my window and fip him the bird. what does her do? he rolls down his window and points is finger over to the middle lane telling me that i was in his way and should have moved. what an ass, he endangered me, my wife and my kids because i was going too slow for him in congested traffic. the funny thing is, what he did didnt get him anyfurhter down the road. i was behind him for 20+ miles. all i could see was the back of his head and imagining a nice 9mm round splitting it wide open.

See here
+ Tr(f)uckers.... one of them is cruising at 55, and the other can go 57, so guy that's going "faster" move over and take up the whole road. :|
That the the fcukers that purposely create a hazard by going out of their way to piss you off, i.e. veer in your direction when you're passing them.

Pretty much everyone pisses me off. My lastest general annoyance is the Escalades though. Anyone driving them seems to have left their brain behind when getting in the damn thing.
Oh, young drivers, old drivers, women drivers, asshole male drivers (Mustang and or big pickup with Nascar stickers, generally), slow drivers, the people on your ass and you're already 10 over, the people who don't understand that going the limit in city driving will result in you going through green lights the whole way, because they are setup that way---nnnnnnoooooo, they have to GOGOGOGOGO- STOOOOOOP. GOGOGO- STOP, the people who pull out in front of you and go slow, the above example with people just not thinking ahead, they all piss me off.
Truckers for the most part I'm okay with. They (again, for the most part) have to deal with idiots trying to just get cozy and hide in blind spots. I haven't had too many problems with them (but, yes there have been a few).
Old female Oriental-ish drivers take the cake though.
