Pet Peeves
What's everyone's pet peeve when driving? I mean with other drivers...
One of mine is when people don't signal. I REALLY REALLY hate it when people don't do that, to me its kind of like disrespect saying you don't matter.
Some guy in a Corolla cut me off and then cut off two other people yesterday so I caught up to him and cut him off too. Stupid on my part I know, dangerous driving but he deserved it, the look on his face after I blew off giving him the heart attack.
At the red light he stopped a car length behind me. I don't race so I don't know why he'd wanna do that
The other is when someone doesn't say thanks when I let them in. Pisses me off, I do something for them and all I want is a little thank you. (kind of like what Jerry Seinfield said)
So what about you guys?

No friendly wave after let in my lane = taking things for granted. Even with my hatch door tinted dark, I still wave.
No signal when turning right while I am waiting in the intersection to turn left.
When make a turn, they turn onto the lane next to them. Last time I checked in the Driver's Ed., it tells you when making a turn onto the perpendicular lane, always follow your own lane. I always cut into my own lane and when people fail to do so on their part, they often do an emergency brake cause they were afraid of crashing into me. Well they didn't really have to if they turn within their own lane, neh?
Makes you wonder if driver's license just fall off the sky or they were handed out at Pac Mall as a special flyer...

That could be from 3 things.....
1. Improper headlight aiming (Crappy Tire parking lot bulb swap)
2. Left the highbeams on. (drive up beside them, and see if the blue highbeam indicator is on in thier dash....is yes, YELL at them to turn it off, and then smile)
3. They have a buch of people in the backseat, and that makes the lowbeams seem like high beams. (this can also be due to worn springs and shocks).
oh, I could also say.....
4. YOUR car is too low.

I think its a major distraction. If you need to use a cell phone at all, use a headset!!Also, I hate people who can't signal properly or people who leave their high beams on

people that pass you then slow down....WTF?????
if you are doing....let's say 80 and the guy passes you then starts doing 70....that pisses me off. And the no signal gets to me too....am I supposed to be psychic??? And then the damn ppl in the left lane that refuse to move over and they are doing the speed limit EXACTLY! And ofc, you can't get around them cause of traffic.
oooo, and when ppl decide that they can drive anywhere...like on the highways on the shoulder and then try to get back into a regular lane because traffic isn't moving fast enough for them.....and I should let them in???? HELL NO!
And........damn I could go on forever....so I will leave it at that.

Hehe you guys named everything I could think of lol, but the people who make wide left turns is the kicker for me, that annoys me to no end, the dixie/dundas intersection in Mississauga is notorious for accidents caused by people making late and wide left turns.
