So many times I end up behind cars going so incredibly slow I just want to run them off the road. It'll just be that one lane and I'll have to pick my spots where to pass them. I'll pass them at a red light using that left turn lane to go right around their sorry asses once the light turns green. I'll pass them once I see the dashed lines and sometimes I'll pass even if that damn line ain't dashed. I'll pass them on the shoulder if I have to. They get mad at all the innovative ways I use to pass them but I don't care. They pissed me off first.

Totally agree with these ones especially. Both piss me off on a daily basis.

Another one is people who need to wait until there's a mile between cars before they'll make a turn. Just fucking go.

Saw that the other day. The guy waited forever to turn right.. and then after someone honked, he pulled out in front of a car when he actually shouldn't have turned and caused the oncoming car to slam on his brakes almost causing a chain accident.

As a frequent expressway driver, people cruising in the left lane when I'm trying to get home really piss me off. Especially when they merge into the pass lane and DO NOT FUCKING PASS.

Also, people that stop at the stop sign and wait for the fucking thing to turn green or some shit.

Have to add this, if you hate the driver that waits until the last second to merge, you have to really hate that asshole that jumps on the shoulder in such situations. I've put my car in the middle of the shoulder to **** these people over.

Or the asshole that rides in the merge lane and won't let you get on the expressway. Or they wait until the last possible moment to move onto the ramp, only to miss their chance and stop in front of the barrier, only to have some asshole in front of me stop on the goddamn expressway as I'm doing 65+ mph. **** people are stupid.

Or the people in ford escorts that merge onto the expressway going 25 miles an hour when oncoming trucks are doing 65 and have to quickly go into the left lane in order to not obliterate their car.

I am a fast driver that drives the left lane. I usually go 80 in a 65. I always love the people that have to be going faster than the cars in the left lane no matter what. Is it a psychological thing? I mean, I will move over so you can go over 25 over the limit (reckless driving), but I hope you get pulled over...

I know people do it all over the place, but I find it is more an idiot in IL not paying attention doing the left lane cruising (not passing)... where as I describe that habit as "Pure Michigan".... every year in the summer we do a weekend at a cottage up in Michigan and without fail you get Pure Michigan in front of you on a 2 lane highway cruising at the speed limit like it is the most ordinary thing in the world... you get whole lines of cars doing it sometimes.

Every year it happens and every year I just hear Tim Allen's voice in my head saying "Pure Michigan"

It's horrible in Indiana man. Worst is on I65 south to Indianapolis where it is 2 lanes for like 100 miles straight and cars just ride out in cruise control at the same speed as semis in the left lane.

No need to move, Spartan will just pass you on the shoulder.

People that think they have the right to make a left turn from a stop sign and pull out into oncoming traffic and stop there, blocking everyone until the oncoming traffic from they're right is clear, in the mean time every one has to wait on that idiots ass.

People thinking they have the right of way when they don't.

If you're making a lane change and the car in that lane speeds up to block you.

Also people that don't signal.

Some left turns are like that though if it's extremely busy. If you don't force yourself out, you are sitting there for 5 minutes.

I don't give a ****, I will go right and make a turn down the street to get back in the other direction. People have no right to make other people wait like that.

In general yes. I will do that too. Sometimes though going right is so inconvenient I say **** it. If I could hand you a dollar for waiting, I would.

Texting and driving... Worse than drinking and driving.

This is actually a proven fact, a NYS trooper buddy of mine told me a few weeks ago. He told me about a day where he wrote 50 tickets and 39 of them were cell phone while driving violations. Not only is it dangerous, here it's an automatic 5 points on your license.

I think sterilizing repeat offenders is a good idea.

That leads me to another annoyance.... people who need to full stop or nearly stop in order to make a right turn.

I know it takes some practice to know how much speed is safe for a right turn and it does depend on where you are turning, but all too often you get retards who do zero work in their head and just come to a near stop in front of 40mph traffic as they turn onto a side street. You can turn at 15-25 mph, you do not need to come to a fucking stop.

And then there are the people you drive behind who do 40 to 0 in 20 feet... god forbid you fucking slow down at a normal pace, nope I have to give you a 6 car length cushion so I won't have to slam on my brakes every time you come to a stop at a light. Oh I know you were paying attention to the phone in your lap.... ur friend is so much fun to text with, driving is boring, ur only risking everyone else's life by not giving it your full attention.
Or the people who are constantly tapping their brakes. That drives me nuts, especially on the expressway.

People who slow down way too early and then they and everyone behind them have to accelerate to get to wherever they are going to stop.

Love that one.

Also people at stoplights who stop like 4 car lengths from the car in front of them and then creep up little by little.

Driving teaches you that people are absent minded retards who largely live in their own little bubble.

Oh, I almost forgot the ones I want to hurt the most. The vigilante ******* who, in an in-town four lane 40mph road, will sit next to each other doing exactly the speed limit to stop anyone else from going faster in either lane. These are usually people who have religious bumper stickers. **** these people.

And while I'm breaking for the dude who has to make a complete stop to execute a right turn, there are 3 cars from the left lane that decide to move to the right lane directly in front of me. In that very moment, I feel like napalming everyone in my vicinity.
