Inconsiderate drivers. I really hate people who just start tailing, cutting through traffic, etc. This goes to my second pet peeve, which the other thread is about... not using a turn signal. Rarely do those same inconsiderate jerks use a turn signal. Makes me wanna do what Clive Owens character did Shoot Em Up.

people who talk on the cellular device. people who do not use their blinkers or use them at last minute. people that drive under(15-20mph under) the speed limit posted. punk kids who think they own the road. those who cut you off for no reason.

In general terms, people who don't pay attention when driving.

In specific cases, people who drive in the breakdown/emergency lanes to bypass traffic, people who don't use turn signals, people who flip you off even though they know they are in the wrong.

people driving while holding their cell phones to their head - no headset of any kind. driving 15-20 under the limit in the left lane on the highway, when everyone (and I mean EVERYONE) else - truckers included - are doing 15-20 over. guys in big pickups and suvs like hummers who like to bully their way thru everbody smaller than they are.

i cant stand how old people still think they should be able to drive. Dont get me wrong, older people are some of the coolest people around but when they get to the point where they basically are 2000 pounds of metal with 8 second reaction time, then thats scary.

I have almost been hit wayyyyyy too many times in the mall parking lot where the old ladies dont obey any of the traffic signs or anything!

Im asian, but i dont drive like one so heres my list:

1. Asian Drivers
2. Stupid drivers
3. Slow drivers in the fast lane
4. People on the cell phone driving slow in the fast lane
5. People spectating an accident on the freeway causing traffic
6. People who sit 2 inches away from the steering wheel that is equipped with an airbag, not knowing that sitting that close to the steering wheel will kill you not the accident itself.
7. Same as above plus they cant see over the dash.
8. People with small cars making wide right turns
9. People who block the right lane knowing that the person behind them has their right turn signal on and doesnt move.
10. People who are coming out of a driveway and doesnt say thank you to that person who gave them the right to merge.
11. Did i mention Asian drivers?

man reading this almost wanna open a can of whoop A** on them drivers.

my pet peeve is all of above and below but my currently pet peeve is not listed and here the story:

I pulled to a stop at 4 ways stop sign but there is two cars on both left and right side of me. the old lady on my right stopped first so she got the right to move first. I stopped second and that white collar is the third person to stop on my left.

Since the old lady stopped first, she get to move first so she looked at me and waiting for me to move, i refused and let her move first due to the rule of the thumb.

she shook her head and wave her hand to give me the cue to move.

THIS IS REAL BASED ACTION BUT DUBBED WITH MY OWN SUBTILE:

" go ahead young man you can go first"
"no you go cus you stopped first so you go first and of course you are a lady so go ahead"
"no its fine you go"
"no you go"
"please just go ahead cus i have plenty time to visit my grandson"
"ma'am please just move"
"naw you go"
"MA'AM JUST EFFING MOOOOOOOOOOOVE!!!! YOU STUPID BEETOCH! "(I changed the word because there is kids in here)

"ah the haze with this!! (other word for "down there")
i decided to move cus that dumb board wont move so i shifted to first gear and just nick of time the red neck jump off and almost hit me with his "larry the cable guy suburban".......



this is the most common load of poop in utah... people here just retarded and too magoo..
