Tail-gating and flashing lights to try to get one to move into the right lane. Well, Boulevards and Avenues are designed for slower traffic and frequent right and left turns. Where these idiots get the idea that they should be treated like interstate highways (ignoring how aggressive and dangerous their driving is there), just drives me nuts. Even in the wee hours, I encounter this to the point local law enforcement is going to deploy new unrecognizable speed and license plate detection technology all over areas I drive. Anyone driving over 10 mph over the speed limit will get a ticket in the mail and repeat offenders will eventually face court appearances.

I know it is not JUST younger drivers, but they seem to be the worst--male teens--in my experience. Some horrific wrecks lately have me really unnerved.

your car. Usually they are those big trucks.Thank you hlthe2b. I hope the new measures work for your area.

They aren't being extremely forthcoming, but a few Denver news types have been allowed to gain some insight under agreements not to fully report. They have said that these devices will not be identifiable--at least until new tech can identify their (miniaturized) camera signatures.

Usually the same drivers are guilty of both. Pick a lane, FFS. Preferably well in advance of when you need to go four lanes over to exit.

I saw a bumper sticker there, from a safe distance, that read, "I'm sorry for driving so close in front of you."

We're in upstate NY now, and if there's somebody riding my bumper it's almost always a Pennsylvanian.

Not you, of course!

When I'm driving, pretty much everything other drives do irritates me.

They stand between the cart and the shelves forever deciding which product to put in their cart.

About me doing that , but what the heck , move it yourself and I won't have to do it.

That was pretty annoying.

in the parking lot corral.

People who open their car doors and allow it to rub the next vehicle.

People who park in handicap spaces without being handicapped.

from the carts but no more. They have signs that say "you park at your own risk"

Sometimes it's impossible not to when people don't park their car between the lines or park a huge vehicle in a space meant for a compact car.

between two parking spaces.

Are you referring to people parked without a decal, or just the ones who don't "look handicap", even though they legitimately have a decal? I've seen some Karen situations where people actually have non-visible handicaps.

Mod told me to F-OFF!

Said poster is no longer with us.

I marveled at the ways people justified not returning their carts.

I never want to see, or hear, that

I once watched a group of young guys walking across a city walkway and approach a set of stairs. The second one started to go down as the first one hit the landing and turned. The guy behind him suddenly shoved him down the stairs. He and all his friends thought it was hilarious. The guy who was pushed was pretty mad, but was unhurt. The first guy was indifferent to it all.

I thought about strolling over and cracking open the guy's skull with my police baton. (Usually concealed on my person in non-local areas.) That kind of thing is not funny and the brat deserved to be reamed out for doing it. The others deserved to be yelled at for being so indifferent to such a dangerous act. And, I bet they still think that guy is their friend.

If it weren't illegal to brake-check, I'd be in a lot of rear end accidents. I just tap my brakes, then slow to a crawl until they go around me.

It almost caused a road rage incident, and I haven't repeated it.

I have developed and rolled out a milder form of retribution. If the offender is behind me in the right lane and I am making a right turn, I do it eeeeeeever so slowly. Deaccelerate reaalllllly gradually. Put on my right-hand turn signal at the last minute (don't want to break the law). Then reeaaallly reaaallly gingerly and cautiously make my right turn. Lots of brake.

I could go on and on.

I am sick of dodging these assholes. Then they leave them strewn wherever, often blocking sidewalk cuts and endangering blind people.

Some cities are starting to figure it out. Pedestrians have the right of way but you'd never know it in Seattle.

or even stopping in some cases. I walk almost everywhere and I am short and I dread crossing the street. It's almost impossible to make eye contact with most drivers because of their effing tinted windows. I have never seen anyone ticketed for not yielding to a pedestrian, either.

Clearly I have many peeves on this topic!

pleased.

Great observation.

With big t**** flags

...saw a guy in an oversized pickup truck, lifted with the $1,000 each wheels & $500 each tires, moaning about the price gas. Bur, while pumping gas while his truck was running! In May. Not cold, not hot.
But, left the truck running & was whining about gas prices while driving a truck that had to set him back 60 grand or more.

for me to get done, so they edge in, hoover, etc., irritating the hell out of me. Wait your f**king turn! Good grief. So many people are in such a hurry, that they literally run over everybody else. My motto: Screw you, you rude blank.

And they do it constantly.

personal cell phone number so I can call them back at a more convenient time.

If you want to drive so badly, get in the driver's seat and do it!

and they are always the extra bright ones too. ( or have the high beams on)

Also, drivers who speed up on me, whip out into the left lane then jump in front of me to exit. OR the opposite: drivers who come up the ramp and then merge in at a snail's pace

When I lived in Nashville, there was some sort of rule that no driver could let anyone get in front of them. I would start out in the appropriate distance behind a car and before I knew it there would be 3 cars in front of me.

It doesn’t just annoy me..it drives me around the bend . I am sensitive to noise.

It is usually young men..

with his battery operated golf cart.

Was in the store the day before yesterday and a woman was telling a man that she has Covid. Coughing went crazy. I was quite a ways across from her, but could hear the conversation then said nothing political, please.

keeping 3-4 spaces empty on either side of my car. Too many times to count ….. a large pickup or SUV will park right next to me and leave me about 10” to open the drivers side door on my car. Grrrr!

WAY too many ads for prescription drugs on TV.

MAGATs in stores or doctors offices who strike up a conversation with me assuming I am on their side because I am white.

Trying to get ahold of ANY service or business on the phone and/or waiting for them to call you back.

I could go on and on ……

Head down, you know they’re on the phone, not moving, especially at the fast changing lights.

receive your call.

Drivers behind me at a traffic light who want to turn right on a red arrow. They expect me to go ahead and turn after stopping, but this would be a traffic violation. Drivers must wait for a green arrow unless there is a sign posted allowing such a move.

An intersection that I occasionally traverse has this type of signal where I only ever turn right. Sometimes drivers behind me are irritated enough to back up a little and move over to the breakdown lane to get around me.

around for the last 8 years. So every time I drive down the road, it disgusts me. And to make it even worse it will perpetuate our daily lives seemingly forever.

I HATE THAT NOISE WITH EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING.

I mean, how hard is it for a person to treat others politely?
