What are your driving pet peeves? What do other drivers do that annoy you?

One of my biggest complaints, is drivers that don't use blinkers. Especially when they are making a left, and they stop abruptly to turn with no blinker, and you are behind them. Or when I'm trying to turn and there is a car coming and they decide to make a turn with no blinker. I could've turned already! My other big pet peeve is when I am driving down the road and I'm still very far from the next intersection. There is a car waiting to turn. They stay and wait. When I'm only a few feet away, they decide to turn in front of me! HELLO!! Why would they do that! Ok, all my driving pet peeves seem to revolve around turning cars. LOL! Cutting other cars off is also up there on my list. Sometimes driver cut so close to you when they try to get in your lane that it's scary! What about you? What annoys you the most?

Oh, dont they just... wait till they can see the whites of your eyes and THEN decide they have room to pull out. Y'know... here's an idea, why dont you pull out when I'm half a mile up the road - or even far enough away that I dont have to hit the brakes as you swing out?? I also hate tail-gaters. They just have to drive close enough that they can see the time on your dashboard clock.... well, if I should have to brake due to the one who waits to pull out, you are gonna get an even closer view pal!
The best thing is when the boy (or girl) racer with the go-faster stripes and the thuddy-thuddy stereo (frankly, if I listened to that crap I wouldn't want people to know!!) sits revving beside you at the lights planning to make a screaming getaway and glancing across with an "up yours" face... the lights change... they stall and "ha! no, up YOURS... watch the old biddy leave you standing - if you can see her for dust".

It is funny when they stall. That has happend to me. Especially when they come from the right turning lane thinking they will go straight and try to go in front of you. Drives me crazy. I'm no slow poke, so usually they don't have a chance to speed up in front of me. And they are coming from a turn only lane, so is not their right! Thans for your funny post!

People who don't know how to merge properly annoy me most I think. Whether they use a blinker or not isn't really my problem, because if you're getting on or off the interstate then it's pretty obvious you're going to have to merge into another lane. What gets me is when they slow down to a crawl to wait for an opening even though they have a long, long way to go before the merge lane ends. This annoys me both when they're trying to merge into my lane and when I'm behind them trying to merge myself.
