Drive

I'm normally a pretty calm, laid-back person, taking things as they come. But there are a few circumstances where I have almost zero patience - one of which is when I'm driving. People do some of the dumbest things when they are driving, and it DRIVES. ME. CRAZY. Here's a list (in no particular order) of the things other drivers do that annoy me:
  • Not using turn signal until they're practically stopped (signal before you break, people)
  • Not using turn signal at all
  • Driving too closely behind me, especially at higher speeds. (3 seconds between you and the car in front of you. I make a point to count the seconds sometimes - pick a spot and count how long it takes you to reach it after the car in front of you)
  • Pulling out in front of me - and then turning a half mile down the road.
  • Not accelerating up to the speed limit because they're turning in a mile or two.
  • Not stopping at stop signs ([almost] everyone rolls through a stop sign sometimes, but blowing right through one? You're gonna cause an accident)
  • Driving slow in the fast lane.
  • Driving so slowly I can pass them going under the speed limit.
This list is by no means exhaustive - I'm sure I could think of more things if I put the time in.
