People that seem to constantly tap their brakes when driving, even when going uphill. Jesus Crist people, put some faith in the engine braking and stop being so fucking annoying!
Oh and also, people in cars with less than 800bhp that think they can harrass me on my GSXR into a race, not realising that the 90mph I'm at is still only halfway up my rev range.........grow up you German car driving wankers (yep, I seem to encounter more tossers in German built cars than any other type)!
In a similar vein, I've tried to be more responsible about my driving habits; I don't speed particularly, I travel in the outside lane as much as is reasonable, I signal to turn or change lanes, and I try to brake early and reasonably for traffic lights that I know I can't make unless I pin it.
And then there's the douchebags with some fancy-ass piece of modern automotive engineering that
absolutely, positively, unquestionably MUST GET TO THEIR DESTINATION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, if not sooner. Naturally, I'm in the path of fastest travel for these yahoos, and one of two things occurs:
1) Traffic doesn't immediately permit them to change lanes without signaling, so I've got an expensive piece of shit within 6" of my rear bumper, for as long as they're unable to swerve around me.
2) There's a hole marginally larger than the vehicle tail-gating me, so they thrust themselves into it (sans signal, of course), stopm on the go-go-go pedal, and flip me off on the way by. They almost always also have to immediately get back into my lane by cutting me off, with nary a signal, of course.
Also on my shit-list are all of the tools that are functionally incapable of recognizing what a given traffic light colour means, when they're at an intersection. For example:
1) any mouth-breather that's making a left-hand turn (a cross-traffic turn, for those driving on the other side), several seconds
AFTER THE MOTHER-FUCKING YELLOW TURN LIGHT HAS TURNED RED. Especially when this then causes traffic to come to a halt, even though there's a green light, because some asshat has gotten halfway into their turn, but because they started so late, pedestrians are now blocking their path.
2) knuckle-draggers that crowd the
SINGLE FUCKING VEHICLE legally entitled to be in the intersection for the purpose of a left-hand turn. This usually causes there to be at least 2 cars in the intersection when the light turn red, both frantically attempting to clear the area, and blocking the traffic that now has a green light.
3) mental defectives that insist on not only crowding the cross-traffic turn-lane, but also insist on burning through their turn, regardless of the fact that they were 4th in line
WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GODDAMN RED! THE FUCKING LIGHT IS RED, AND IT WAS RED BEFORE YOU APPROACHED THE FUCKING SIGNAL STOP LINE! THAT MEANS STOP, ASSHOLE!
4) People that see the light about to turn yellow 50m ahead, who then stomp on the 'faster button', and blow through the intersection, regardless of whether of not they could have stopped safely instead. Considering my city has recently started investing in pedestrian signals that has a countdown indicating the remaining time left in the light cycle, beginning when the flashing hand starts, there's
NO FUCKING WAY YOU CAN CLAIM THAT YOU COULDN'T TELL HOW LONG YOU HAD UNTIL THE LIGHT TURNED RED!
I also have a horrendous list of pet-peeves concerning winter driving, but that's because I consistently manage to successfully navigate winter after winter without ending up in an accident. I just wish I could find all the mental midgets that insist on being complete and utter retards when driving, and start beating them heartily.
But I know my arm would get tired LOOOOOOOOONG before I got done.
