Merge lanes and people who block both lanes.

Blocking both lanes three miles before you have to merge is idiotic.  If you want to be highway patrol then join the police force!!

    Going to fire up the grill or smoker and realize that I'm out of lump. This usually sets me off. Especially if I'm hungry.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    Oh and women in a grocery store check out lane who wait until it's all rung up to then start digging in their purse for their check book!  Plus the occasional one who then has to record the check, and update the balance while seemingly using their fingers to do the math!!!

    People that wait until the last 20 feet to force a merge and cause everyone else to slam brakes and stop forward motion.

    People that shoot down the shoulder creating their own turn lane hundreds of feet before the lane starts, no doubt passing everyone waiting for the turn lane to start.

    Ever notice that regardless of what speed you are driving, anyone driving slower than you is an idiot who can't drive and anyone driving faster than you is a reckless maniac that's gonna cause an accident. 
    So true- but it's a great thing to be perfect. 

    But to answer the OP- people who hang out in the left lane moving slower than traffic. Europeans do it well- left lane is passing only. Pass the car and move back over.

    Jack asses that wait till the very last minute when merging into a construction zone. You know it's there but you still speed ahead of the people in the correct lane hoping someone will let you in line.

    Same here...but what frosts me is the idiot who then let's that idiot in line! I love it when everybody tightens rank and lets the sob wait until the whole convoy has passed him sitting there waiting for some sucker to let him in when it never happened!

    Spoken like a true Illinoian.  Turn signals are a sign of weakness and nobody here knows how to merge.

    The inability to merge is right there. Major hwy construction around here only magnifies the issue. Beyond that I'm old and tired of "all about me behaviors" mentioned above. That and my smart phone keyboard ineptitude. Enough for now.

    I suppose it might look like I have/had road rage issues and I really don't/didn't! I never honked, I never flipped off anybody, but I burnt under my collar. We are a community of just 100k or so, plus my vanity plates kept my emotions in check too!  =)

    The other point I want to make is I find that "in town" I am extremely tolerant of cars with out of state license plates.  I figure they don't know our main thoroughfares, turn lanes, traffic light settings etc so I let them in regardless of their traffic transgressions!

    Lousy drivers.  Includes all of the above y'all mentioned except merging at the end of a merge lane is the proper way to merge.  Early mergers are screwing it up.

    People that are eating lunch or dinner in their vehicle, texting, yakking on the phone are usually not paying attention and are dangerous.  I'm usually hauling ass and these are the people that drift out their lanes and don't pay attention to other traffic.

    Left lane is for passing.  On the autobahn you will get a ticket for clogging up the left lane.  If no one is in front of you, you need to move to the right lanes and let faster traffic through.

    When you are in grocery store or hardware store and there are 15 people in the only lane open and other employees are standing around talking about BS or playing on their phone instead of opening another line and working.

    People that send all their money to TV evangelists as seeds to heal their cancer with prayer and end up not treating it medically and die.  Actually, I don't hate them, I think they're doing the right thing but hopefully they do it before they reproduce.
