| driving pet peeve
i'm sure this was done b4 but lets see some 2009 peeves.
1 ) as the traffic light turns red a driver would brake to a complete stop at least 2 cars or more behind the one in front of them then inch up slowly. VERY ANNOYING especially for me behind who drives manual especially on a slope (eg... boundary/grandview)
2) People that ride the breaks. person in front of them does not break but they break continuously.
3) bigger vehicles like trucks, SUV's that have their headlights angled so high or use non projector HID. some of them know it too and do it intentionally tailgating a bit left of my car to glare the fuck out of me.

1. When people pass you on in the parking lane so that they can get 2 cars ahead, even though traffic is already moving fast (ie sections of 49th) There is only one lane!
2. people who race you at the light, even though their lane ends 10m after the intersection
3. people who drive with their high beams on
4. people who drive with their lights off in the fog and dark

He finally parked the car parallel from the curb. The car just happened to be five feet from it. LOL.

2)driving slow when there's nothing in front of them.
3)when your driving down a road, and some douchebag decides to pull out of his parking spot then drives fucking slow....
4)when your stopped at a red light and someone pulls up to the right side of you(parking lane) and when light turns green they speed up to get infront of you then drive fucking slow.

People driving in the HOV lane and traveling slower than the cars in the far slow lane. These people truly believe that if they have a passenger, they have to be in the HOV lane.

People who don't use there F())(CKING Turn Signals. I don't care if you are doing triple the speed limit, or 1/2 the speed limit. Use your damn signals so I know to either get out of your way or stay put because you are going to go around me.
People who DON'T PAY ATTENTION. People that just kinda blindly drive down the road, especially old people that think they have the right away regardless. I think that after the age of 50, it should be required to re-take a driving assessment test every 4 years and if you fail a single test, then every 2 years from then on, if you fail again, it'll be every year to be tested and if you fail a total of 3 times, take away there license for good. Let the government give them a free Bus Pass. A lifetime buss pass for a senior that can't drive, will cost far less then ICBC paying out for several accidents. Don't get me wrong about old people, at 50, my Grandmother was driving a 77 Trans Am with a built 455 (7.4L V8 IIRC) and she loved to drive it fast, and knew how to drive it.
Slow drivers don't upset me, as I'll find a way to pass them.
Speeding drivers don't bother me as I'll follow them and let them be the cop bait.
Weaving in and out of traffic, I think its kinda fun to watch and I might even join in depending on the level of traffic and situation.

we should name things we do that might bother people. :P
i know i do this thing to piss ppl off..unintentionally.
when i see a stale red light...i dont step the gas pedal at all..even when my car is 20-30m from the intersection.
when i coast up closer to the intersection the light usually turns a fresh green...at this point my car still has some momentum so i just accel smoothly which saves me from the take-off gas.
this might sucks for a right turner behind me but whatever..the light's red and you probably have to wait at the intersection anyways.
yay? nay?

I don't mind, as long as once it's green, you're going 60-70 again to not hold me up. And if I was really in that big of a rush to turn right, I would of just went around you on the parking lane.

- People who drive super slow with nothing in front of time
- People who don't use their turn signals
- People who don't give way
- People who take a billion years to park when there's like nothing around them
- People who cut you off just to drive slow
- People turning left when the sign says not to at that day/time

yay? nay? | I do that all the time...save gas 
For me:
1) ppl who drive with their highbeams on...the # seems to be increasing too...
2) ppl who don't realise their lowbeams aren't on
3) ppl with non-projector HIDs done improperly
4) ppl who drive slow in the left lane
5) ppl who tailgate me when obviously it's impossible to go any faster
6) ppl who don't signal left until the light's about to turn green

people making a right turn with out movning over to the curb. They need to slow the traffic behind them cause they own the road. WTF
People braking going uphill.
The car ahead of you slows down for the green light. when it turns Yellow, they gun it through the intersection leaving you with a red.

Yeah, and don't have their kids in a child seat or buckled in.
Jerks who park in handicapped parking spots.
Jerks who cut in front of you in the HOV lane and they don't have a passenger.
