People who jog down the middle of a city street right next to the sidewalk. I used to live on a nice quiet street with sidewalks. about four blocks from my house was a rather sharp S-curve. Every fucking morning as I was driving to work with the sun glaring in my eyes, I would have to drive around a group of joggers running 4-wide through this huge s-curve. They were risking their own lives, and mine by refusing to run on the perfectly smooth sidewalks less than four feet from the spot they were running.

well yeah there is a difference there considering there was an exit that cold be used.FatHobbit;885340 wrote:I agree with you, but the other day I was stuck in traffic about a hundred yards from my exit. I didn't feel the need to wait, so I proceeded to drive down the berm and some d-bag pulled off to try to stop me. I had to drive in the grass to get around. It was no big deal, but I'm not sure why he gave a shit that I wanted to exit and not wait in traffic. I was not going to try to pull back into traffic once I got ahead of him.

This x1000. I don't mind sharing the road with bikes, but don't go 20 on a 50mph where I can't even pass you because its too narrow, then catch up to me at the light and blow the red light because you're a bike and squeeze by me and go on through.Mulva;885319 wrote:The only thing that really frustrates me when I'm driving are people on bicycles. Go the speed of traffic or get the fuck out of the road. And if you're going to ride in the road, then guess what? You have to stop at the stop signs and red lights too. And you don't get to pull up ahead of 5 cars who are waiting at the light just because you can squeeze by at the side.
Fucking bikes.
The worst was at OSU when people flew by on their bikes in the Oval, which is clearly a walking sidewalk. I almost got hit by hipster douchebags on their they bikes so many times.

Another reminder for pedestrians, you dont always have the right of way.
another lady had a flashing red and pulled out infront of a on coming car that had a flashing yellow. well i had to go give that lady a ticket while she was in the hospital. she never understood why it was her fault. oh well.
[h=1]4511.46 Right-of-way of pedestrian within crosswalk.[/h](A) When traffic control signals are not in place, not in operation, or are not clearly assigning the right-of-way, the driver of a vehicle, trackless trolley, or streetcar shall yield the right of way, slowing down or stopping if need be to so yield or if required by section 4511.132 of the Revised Code, to a pedestrian crossing the roadway within a crosswalk when the pedestrian is upon the half of the roadway upon which the vehicle is traveling, or when the pedestrian is approaching so closely from the opposite half of the roadway as to be in danger.
(B) No pedestrian shall suddenly leave a curb or other place of safety and walk or run into the path of a vehicle, trackless trolley, or streetcar which is so close as to constitute an immediate hazard.
flashing lights are the worst and people always do this at an intersection where i work, basically because they are stupid. it has two flashing red lights and two flashing yellow. the other day i was working waiting at the flashing yellow to turn left, the guy coming towards me stops and starts waving me on to go left infront of him. so i just sat there until he eventually realized what it meant.wkfan;885311 wrote:How about a 4-way intersection that only has a stop sign on two of the 4 corners.....and people come to the corner driving down the road without the stop sign...and STOP! They wave the stopped traffic on while backing up traffic behind them.
There are only 2 stop signs for a reason, people.

Its announced 2 miles ahead, and there are always assholes that instead of trying to get over when they first see the lane closure, they fly up the empty lane until they absolutely can't go any further and then try to force their way over which results in a longer back up for those that got over. I'll usually get over to the open lane and then once a lot of people continue to drive by, I'll move back over and block the empty lane. Fuck them.

A few things infuriate me...
People driving cars on a one lane about to make a left turn and they end up slowing down to almost a complete stop and make a turn like they're driving a fucking semi-truck.
I hate people who don't signal when they're about to turn.
I hate when I'm going 5-10 over the speed limit and some jackass still insists on riding my ass. This is where I slow down on purpose
When I'm going over the speed limit, only to get passed by some female driving a ford focus, who after passing me then proceeds to go much slower than I was initially.. This results in me getting super pissed and I end up passing her while giving her the finger (this happened today on my way home from class)
4 way stops and people who get there before you but just fucking sit there.. Usually results in me waving them on out my window... I don't trust fucktards.
I also +1 the bike comments. A few days ago we were stopped at a light. A bicycle was coming down the sidewalk and the light turned green. He crossed the street and was nearly hit by a car turning right. He didn't even look at traffic, he was focused forward and never even slowed down. He was an idiot.

This has happened to me about 5 times in the last 2 days. It kinda started to get to me as well.

Something that hasn't been mentioned yet is when your going like 10-15 over the speed limit passing other cars/trucks then get up to someone whos only doing about 5 and still passing others. You slow down and then some idiot comes up behind you and flicks there lights on for you to get over because your going to slow(even though you are behind other cars and still passing those in the right lane).Its like dude chill the fuck out. Was pretty funny because I went 90 once everyone else got over and this car started to keep up with me then I got off at an exit and that car that flashed his lights at me got pulled over a little down the road.

yes, i was hoping you would be that driver that grows impatient and flies around me without using a turn signal only to realize there was a car in the next lane and you wouldnt be able to pass me thus making you get back in my lane behind me.O-Trap;885981 wrote:That was you???

I HATE it when cars are parked on one side of the street and people don't know that if the cars are on your side of the road, you are the one who stops and lets the oncoming cars go. Pisses me off to no end.
We live on a State Route but in town. There are nice, new sidewalks down both sides of the street, so why in the hell do you run in the road? I sit on my porch and pray for a big ol' semi to take one of these idiots out.
Yowzers, I'm sounding a tad grumpy today.

On another note, I am often amused by those who expect common courtesies of the road from other drivers yet don't extend that same courtesy by following the speed limit.

Who are you to tell me how fast i can go? I hate **** like you who think they can police everyone else's speed. If you don't want me riding your ass and flashing my lights, get the fuck out of the way or go faster.

Had an encounter once where a car pulled out of a single line of stopped traffic to get a head start on the turn lane that develops a little ways down the road. Problem was, he crossed the double-yellow line and had we not stopped (I was going the opposite direction, obviously) the stupid fuck would've hit me head-on. If I had it to do over, or had time to think about it, probably would've let him hit me. Instinct prevailed on my part.
So we sit there facing each other - he on the wrong side of the fucking road - and he starts waving me to move over. Now, there were not two lanes going my direction but there are cars parked on this street - I suppose I had enough room to go around him, but he was driving on the wrong side of the road. So I sat...and sat...and he got out of his car for a second, yelled, jumped back in, and more or less floored it backwards into a driveway (all this time still on the wrong side of the road, instead of, you know, pulling back into the correct lane).
Then as I drove by, he flipped me off.

Who said anything about the highway you dumb fuck? This usually happens on a country toad that I travel to and from school on. Speed limit is 55 and there are usually state troopers somewhere along the path. I'm already going over the speed limit in a one lane road, I'm not going to get busted for a ticket just because you want to go 20 over. If that's the case, drive your car straight off a bridge.
