People Not Using Turn Signals- I guess you are to busy yabbing on the cell or feel like you are too cool. Especially on the highway at night people not using a turn signal to switch lanes is a big hazard as someone else also switching lanes may not be able to spot right away your wheels crossing the lane lines.

Also i hate having to slam the brakes b.c on a city road someone randomly makes a turn w/o warning.

12/4/2007 3:37:27 PM

Not merging at first opportunity.

Driving in the left lane

12/4/2007 3:43:24 PM

I probably use my turn signal about 20 percent of the time

Sometimes I just forget, but other times I remember, then decide not to put it on anyway, just to spite the person behind me

12/4/2007 3:45:18 PM

People not using their lights in the rain.

12/4/2007 3:47:44 PM

this isn't really an annoyance, but something that just happened. i was just at arby's on hillsborough and there was a girl in an SUV pulling out of the parking lot to turn left (i was sitting behind her, also going to turn left) and she pulls all the way into the road so i pull forward, then she starts backing up, i honked my horn TWICE and she just kept backing right into me. i was like $%^&$DAMN IT! then she gets out and is like..."well i don't see anything wrong with your car...sorry" and i was like "yeah whatever....just don't worry about it"

The thing that got me though was she definitely heard me honk and she definitely had time to stop...but she kept backing!? WTF! i didn't have time to put my car in reverse and back up but she didn't even brake. crazy girl

I despise a bastard that won't let you merge into traffic


esp when they can move over and don't

12/4/2007 3:53:51 PM

yeah i hate that. and people that don't grasp the concept of acceleration lanes.


pretty much i hate every driver on the road except for me because they are all inferior

also, not getting over when there's someone faster behind you (and it is clear to your right)

the roads arent for you to stare at the bumper in front you and space out. get the fuck out of the way.

FTW especially on the first 4 exits of the beltline when the merging lanes are like a whole 100 ft.

yeah i see that shit all the time before the wade ave. split on I40. Even though 3 signs highlight LEFT two lanes I40, RIGHT two lanes Wade Ave. some jackass always holds up the Wade Ave left lane trying to make a last second effort to get into the I40 lane.

Quote :

"Driving in the left lane"

Agreed. I'm an outspoken advocate of jackasses not doing this except in two cases.

1.) I am actively passing traffic going +10/+15/+20 and some jackass can not wait 10 seconds for me to finish passing and get over. Sorry bud, I am not slowing down to 65 and squeezing over so you can keep zipping along at 100mph.

2.) I am stuck behind grandma in the left lane not getting over and some douchenozzle starts riding MY ass. It is not my fault this person won't move. Otherwise i'd finish passing and get over myself.

People tailgating you in the RIGHT lane

On the way back from thanksgiving some mexican was riding my ass while i was in the RIGHT lane of US 64 when the PASSING lane was open. I am definitely not a grandma driver either.

It's my goddam luck that every other fucking driver down here in Beaufort County does this. AT 5 OR MORE MPH UNDER THE FUCKING SPEED LIMIT.

These shit-for-brains people around here would be TOAST on the beltline.

Rain makes for an immediate 10mph drop in their speed, too.

12/4/2007 4:16:45 PM

The only major annoyance I have while driving is that there are other people driving too.

12/4/2007 4:25:45 PM

mother fuckers cant parallel park to save their lives

when theres a road block ahead of you (stopped bus or something), and everyone behind you swiftly changes lanes, disabling you from doing so till all traffic has passed you.

DRIVING IN THE LEFT LANE WHILE NOT ACTIVELY OVERTAKING ANOTHER VEHICLE.

12/4/2007 5:31:08 PM

People who follow too fucking close... I go ~+5 to +10 the speed limit, if you can't deal with that either pass or get over it. Cause if you follow my ass too close, I will slow down to whatever speed is safe for as close as you are following me. Also, flashing headlights gets you -5mph, horn gets you -10mph (or half the distance to the goal, whichever is less). I don't drive in the left hand lane either, if you want to go fast then you figure out how to pass me. I wish driving was like mario kart and I could drop a banana peel on your ass.

Quote :

I also can't stand numbnuts who activate their turn signals a fraction of a second before (or after!) they make their turn. That doesn't count as using your turn signals!

you better not just be cruising in the left lane. Also, flashing lights in Europe is the "polite" way to ask someone to get over; it should be the same here. This is a lot better then riding their ass or being passive aggressive until the idiot gets back in the right lane.

People who deliberately speed up for the sole purpose of keeping you from merging into their lane. I'm not talking about someone keeping you from merging into a line of traffic that you tried to skip up the side of and merge in, but just someone in relatively heavy traffic that will speed up if they see your turn signal on to keep you from getting in between them and the car in front of them.

[Edited on December 4, 2007 at 8:47 PM. Reason : .]

12/4/2007 8:47:30 PM

people who stop on the crosswalk when people are trying to cross.

(even though its an annoyance as a pedestrian, this still fits here)

12/4/2007 9:00:37 PM

I drove to Winston-Salem and back today, and there was a refreshing lack of slowpokes in the left lane.

Driving anywhere typically makes me grumpy, as so many people are absolute fucktards, but even in that mess around Davis Dr, there were so few cockbags that I was still as mellow when I got to campus as I was when I left WS.

I definitely appreciated it

get a faster car and smoke dey asses

also, i like it when someone tries to accelerate and be a fag when you try to pass on a 2-lane road. Flying by in an overwhelming exhibition of horsepower is quite satisfying.

12/5/2007 2:32:39 AM

i own whatever road i am driving on

12/5/2007 2:34:43 AM

you jackasses who like to go the wrong way in the parking deck when its full no less, yeah, I'm not grinding all up on the side of cars so you fucks can get through, I've already parked the goddamn thing right smack in the middle of two people trying to do this shit, I just got out and pointed at all the parked cars angled the other way and the arrows on the ground. That and when 3 other people behind me aren't backing all the way out for the rtard.

Driving in the left lane, especially the highway. I've passed a many on the left shoulder (with clear sight ahead) simply because they seemed content with driving the same fucking speed as the person in the right lane next to them.

Left turns, when you are not in the turning lane in the middle of the road. Its there for a reason.

I'm honestly surprised I only have 1 ticket in the past 8 years, but I swear to god I think a lot of the general public don't even realize the left lane is for passing/faster traffic.

i'm not sure if this has been said yet, but people going straight at a light that stop in the right lane when they could have just as easily gotten in the left lane allowing me to make a right on red

12/5/2007 3:50:15 AM

yeah, that's annoying, but that's a varsity move compared to the fundamentals that people routinely fuck away either completely without caring or without even knowing any better.

12/5/2007 3:52:50 AM

The guy who backed into me in the parking lot, and then sincerely thanked me for beeping at him to let him know he was going to hit me. No problem, asshole, it was a rental car anyway.
The people who turn on their blinker and then go in the opposite direction.
The people who turn on their blinker, don't go anywhere, and proceed to have the blinker on for the next four miles.
The people who see the blinking lights on the cop car that's pulled someone over on the opposite side of the highway and slow down to 30.

12/5/2007 5:53:11 AM

The thing that pisses me off the most is when you are the sole driver in one lane of traffic, and a car pulls out in front of you, making you slam on your brakes WHEN THERE ISN' A GODDAMN PERSON IN SIGHT BEHIND YOU.

12/5/2007 6:39:17 AM

- people who wait until the last possible! minute to get into or leave an exit-only lane.
- people who refuse to use their turn signals (as mentioned; here, in the context of traffic swapping at an exit-only lane; AM traffic from S Saunders, and folks headed to Centennial via Lake Wheeler comes to mind)
- people who don't know how to proceed through a god damn 4way

12/5/2007 9:09:15 PM

just when people dont use turn signals

12/5/2007 9:39:57 PM

People who cruise along at 9 over on the interstate yet slam on the brakes whenever they see the cop they just passed hiding in the median. You've already been clocked by that point, so why are you going to risk getting rear-ended while simultaneously sending a signal to the cop with your brake lights that says "I'm speeding and I know it."

12/5/2007 9:59:59 PM

Today on avent ferry i was in the left lane b.c the right was 1/4 mile from forking into athens dr. Some n00b turns left from Lake Dam into the center turning lane right in front of me. He then hesitates and makes a move like he expected me to shift right for him to get on the road.

EITHER GROW SOME BALLS AND SLAM THAT GAS PEDDLE TO GET OUT IN FRONT OF ME; OR FUCKING STOP AND WAIT FOR ME TO PASS.

12/5/2007 10:11:18 PM

People who fly around like bats out of hell on twisty two-lane roads, in vehicles that should NOT be doing so. I made several trips down an extremely twisty portion of US 64 in the mountains this weekend and nearly got nailed by fuckheads coming around hairpin turns too fast on several occasions. One of those was a fucking semi tractor. Alternately, there was the dude in a Bronco that made an illegal pass around me on one of the *very* short straight sections because I wasn't going fast enough for him. If you have a sports car I can understand maybe, but...

12/6/2007 12:05:03 AM

people who merge onto the interstate going 40mph or less

12/6/2007 12:08:23 AM

Did it ever occur to you that you don't know how to drive on mountain roads?

Having lived in W. NC for some time it was painfully obvious who was and was not from around there. Breaking is actually very rarely needed on most turns. Still, total dick move to pass like that.

12/6/2007 12:13:09 AM

Breaking is never needed. Braking might be, though.
