GTKY: Driving Pet Peeves

BC&LMBC&LM member
in June 2013 Moms
What are some of your pet peeves while driving? It could be related to what other drivers do, but it doesn't have to be.  (Inspired by an annoying driver on my way into work today ;-) )

    Don't flash your lights at me because you want me to drive more quickly when I am already going the speed limit.  (Seriously, does this ever even work?  It just makes me more pissed off and more determined to keep driving exactly the speed limit.)

    Also, use your damn turn signal.

    Oh, also beeping at me at a stop light because I waited an extra second to make sure all the traffic cleared.  I can understand beeping after a few seconds, but after one!?

    Ugh! People who ignore construction signs until the last second. Yesterday on the highway, the right lane was closed. There were signs for at least 2 miles before and so many people waited until the last possible second that it caused a huge traffic jam.

    Honking at me because I am not turning right on a red when traffic is speeding past me.  I live in the Atlanta area.  This place has horrible traffic and over aggressive drivers.

    This whole thread makes me rage-y.  I get rather worked up when I drive thanks to idiots and content myself with screaming "rascals!" at them when LO's in the car.  Close enough to sounding like assholes to make me feel better.

    Number one pet peeve - not driving the speed limit.  I live in an area with a bunch of 25mph speed limits, and it's tough enough to drive that slow - but if you're going 16 I'm going to tailgate you.

    Close tie for number one - not using turn signals.

    Beyond those two, pretty much everything everyone else has said.

    DH and I have rather similar aggressive driving styles (I'm slightly more toned down about it than he is), but that comes from living in a town filled with a strange mix of idiots, distracted drivers, and the people who think they're involved in some kind of rally race.  You have to be aggressive and pay a lot of attention so as to not get run into by dumb dumbs.

    Getting lost. I'm sorry but in a day and age where everyone has a gps in their pocket don't be stopping at every damn street to read the street sign. Also? I've had two people stop me and ask for directions in the last two weeks. One was wayyyyy lost. The other was off by a block. Just so random. (I don't mind being asked for directions, but delivery trucks should all have a gps in them!)
    But not everyone has a GPS or even a phone that will do it, especially older people.  Neither my mom or dad have it, for instance.

    Another for going slower than the rest of traffic in the left-hand lane.  I'm sorry, @BC&LM, but if you're doing that, I'm going to flash my lights at you.  Makes me stabby.  My commute is too long as it is.

    And waiting too long to merge and "cutting the line", like @violet1183 mentioned!
    This morning someone did it when I was driving in town (one lane.)  The speed limit was 50, and I was going 50.  Even if it is in the left hand lane, I just don't see the point.  Flashing lights never makes people go faster; in fact, I would argue that it's just going to make people drive more slowly because they are now irritated.  I just pass people who are going too slowly instead.

    People who let people in from a place of business at a traffic like, especially if the light is green or if it is a right turn on red, but even more so when the light turns green I HATE.  If WE have right of way, they can make a U-TURN as I have MANY of times to AVOID CUTTING in line if there is another way out(which 99% of the time there is).  Now, I can understand if it's the only way out, but even so, WHY not let them wait at least a minute or so(NOT THE FIRST CAR LET SOMEONE IN I MEAN) instead of the VERY FIRST second they are finished getting out the parking lot?

    I hate when people think they have right-of-way when you are in traffic doing the "RIGHT" thing to not block the intersection, they think just because the light turns green, they stop sign is INVISIBLE that they have right-of-way now.  Especially, people that want to make wide turns. I had that happen before a few times. This one time, I didn't block the intersection in the left lane(which the road that intersected was by the right lane) and the right lane wasn't blocked either.  This man pulled in to the right lane(which IS ILLEGAL, because then HE is truly blocking an intersection by pulling in cross-ways like that).  He was going to go in front of me, I made sure he didn't get let in, because for one, HE STILL HAD THE STOP SIGN and two, he was BLOCKING another lane instead of making a u-turn, basically being SELFISH.  He had the NERVE to after he got let in OF COURSE the uncaring people that let him in that weren't thinking of the others in the line that had right-of-way or their feelings to flip me off and HONK.  I honked back and flipped him off.  The NERVE of people today. What is wrong with people? He was IN THE WRONG, had the STOP SIGN(we had the GREEN LIGHT), and he blocked an intersection(blocking a lane to get into the left lane, only thinking of himself, yet HE flipped ME OFF as if I was in the wrong. NO, HE WAS IN THE WRONG, LAWFULLY AND MORALLY!! I stand my ground and follow the rules, WHY HE DOESN'T HAVE TO? I don't understand why people are so selfish and why they think you aren't nice if you don't let them in from a stop sign when it's not being nice if you do to the people BEHIND YOU(their time)?

    Do you all hate it to when you have waited in line for 3-4 minutes and a person just finished getting gas in the right turn only lane and they don't wait even 20 seconds to get let in, meanwhile you just sat in line all that time? That is SO WRONG. I NEVER let anyone in from a place of business, because the LAW is that WE on the ROAD have RIGHT-OF-WAY.  I have sometimes waited 5 minutes to get out of places and I would rather that than to be halted on the roadway, because the law is the law.  It's RUDE to ONLY consider the people coming out of some place.  NO ONE CONSIDERS people BEHIND THEM TODAY I FIND. 

    At red lights even, when the light turns green, some people are digging through their car instead of paying attention.  That's so inconsiderate.  WHY are people so self-absorbed? Those people wouldn't like it if I delayed them, so don't do it to us.

    WHAT is the POINT of the LAWS if NO ONE FOLLOWS THEM by giving the right-of-way to the people that are already on the road BEHIND YOU and thinking about THEIR TIME AND FEELINGS, NOT JUST ABOUT THE PEOPLE COMING OUT THE PARKING LOTS.

    I once had a situation where I was blocked my normal way out of a taco bell.  I went out the way where they had a lot of traffic which I always avoided, but couldn’t' this time.  I had at least 2 people try to let me in, even one honked on me to go, but I didn't. I stand MY GROUND when it's ME coming out that I hate when people CUT in front of me that have ZERO right of way, I don't do it to them.  So I told that person to go by motioning him to go that he or she had right of way. I REFUSED to go just because they let me in.  The people on the road had right-of-way of me at the Taco Bell.

    My point is, WHY is the WORLD of drivers think of people coming out ONLY by the very first second the people are finished at the gas station, restaurant, or store(or wherever), their first thing they worry about is the people coming out WHEN THEY ALWAYS USUALLY HAVE **OTHER WAYS TO GET OUT*** and NEVER about the people that have right-of-way?  WHY? I would rather wait 3-5 minutes to get out of somewhere than to have people CUT in front of me to where I end up not making sometimes 2 sets of traffic lights just so people can cut. I would rather make a u-turn to avoid CUTTING(which is being RUDE) to others.  WHY have the rules if people are INCONSIDERATE to the people *BEHIND* them?

    I also hate when you are in a parking lot when a person BLOCKS you in and you can't even back up, because someone is in the back of you and you can't go around them, which a lot of the times, the people aren't even in their vehicle yet to back out. I can see and have done where a vehicle was backing out and waited for space, but NOT when the people didn't have their back up lights on.  People are SO SELFISH that cannot think of others.  Once I wanted to go home and someone had to get their precious space. WHY? WHY can't people move over to the side so people can go around them so they can do what they need to do? WHY do people feel like they own the space just because they wait for it? It's nobody's space unless it is for a handicapped person and even then, if 2 people want the space that are handicapped, whoever gets it first gets it.

    I hate people also that block a lane to get into a certain lane and make others catch the red light or not be able to turn right on red.  I have had that happen a NUMBER of times before.  MAKE A U-TURN is what I did when I couldn't get into the lane I needed to be in.  Inconvenience yourself, NOT OTHERS on the road.  Just because you didn't get into the lane you needed to be in shouldn't mean punish all the people in line or even one person's time.  If you miss your turn that you needed, just go to the next u-turn or exit.  Do unto others.  If you wouldn't want someone to delay you, don't do it to them.

    I saw this situation I just talked about in the above paragraph with someone blocking a lane.  This AT&T truck(not an 18 wheeler or anything like that, it was small) had to get into another lane or he/she would go on the ramp for the interstate.  The thing was by the time he/she was able to get into the lane,  I would say the cars where already on the ramp well passed the traffic light even by the time then.  If that would have been me, I would have wanted to honk on that person for being so inconsiderate.  If you are in the wrong lane, TOO BAD, MAKE A U-TURN.  Even if that means going on the interstate and getting off at the next exit, even if it is for a mile or 2.  Don't be RUDE like that.  There's been PLENTY of times I have made U-turns WELL OUT OF MY WAY to not stop traffic for just myself.  One time, coming out of a taco bell, I had to get 5 lanes over(the fifth and 6th lanes where left turn only lanes to turn on a certain street), but with the amount of traffic, I couldn't do it without stopping in the middle of the street to get over each lane.  I went all the way over a small overpass to the next light and waited at that one to make a u-turn.  I was CONSIDERATE of other drivers not thinking of JUST MYSELF ONLY.

    The reason why I was at the right most lane was that I had came out the taco bell, but after I came out, there was no way possible to get over that many lanes without stopping some traffic which would be MEAN and VERY INCONSIDERATE of other people's time to do have done that to others and could have caused an accident as well.

    I have had drivers where I honked on them for blocking a lane to get into a different lane and they flipped me off.  Can you believe that? THEY KNOW THEY WERE IN THE WRONG, BEING RUDE BLOCKING TRAFFIC AND NOT FOLLOWING THE LAW, as well as being SO SELFISH just thinking about THEMSELVES ONLY, NOT THE REST OF THE LINE OF PEOPLE, YET, THEY FLIPPED ME OFF.  I don't get that? WHY? If you know you were wrong, WHY would you act like you were in the right to do such a thing?  Those times I am thinking about, a simple small u-turn and they could have easily been back to where they were at, but NO, SELFISH PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD ONLY THINK OF THEIR OWN TIME ONLY!!

    I also hate when you are in line at a yield sign, then the people don't move up when the other vehicle moved already and they just sit.  WHY? They moved up, PAY ATTENTION.  That extra 2 second you could have GONE maybe, but NO, now you are in front of me instead of me being the next person to go.  There is no real reason not to move up once the person that is in front of you sees it is safe to pull out. 

    I hate when people that have stop signs when the light turns green in the middle of traffic at a red light that people think they have right-of-way just because the light turned green, which it did for US on the ROAD, NOT for the person at the stop sign, they still have that stop sign.  I can see if they can't ever get out to let someone in, but no if they can go 2 cars behind me.  That's just MEAN AND RUDE.

    I hate when people PUSH their way so you have to let them in as if they have right-of-way. 

    I hate when people motion someone to let them in by stopping when they have 3-4 car lengths they could have gone up and how sometimes they let in more than ONE car even.  That is SO RUDE to others ***BEHIND** YOU!! WHY doesn't anyone think of people BEHIND THEM TODAY as far as the MAJORITY of the drivers today? I ALWAYS CONSIDER the people that have right-of-way FIRST BEFORE others as the LAW states that is what I am supposed to do and it is RUDE to the others BEHIND ME to consider the ones that don't have right-of-way.  Also, it is safer to not let someone cut from a place of business for example by not halting too fast preventing a rear ending or possibly other drivers get mad due to the person that pulled out needed to be in a different lane that is blocked so the other drivers are mad at the person that just let this person in, which could be a road rage situation type of thing.  Also, I have had this happen where I was in the left lane and switched lanes, which the person that was letting the person in from the median made a WIDE TURN(which is illegal by almost going across the lane I just switched in that was clear, so do you see how that could have caused me to have an accident by the person that let the person in? The person that pulled out didn't go into the lane closest to them as the LAW says they are SUPPOSED to do, which meant I almost would have hit them since I switched to the middle lane that they were going perpendicular to me, so I could have hit them or they could have hit me on the side and they would have been at fault for pulling out as well as making a wide turn.  Sure, they would have been 100% at fault since they had to YIELD since they were coming out from the median, but man, I was scared when that person looked like they were going to hit me on my side of my car.  See how LETTING people in when they aren't on the street(such as needing to yield or stop) isn't always the safest thing. I know the person letting the person in didn't know that person that was coming out was going to go into the 2nd or third lane, but still. 

    I hate when you let someone in from one lane that does have their blinker on and they block you to get into another lane.  That's so mean.  You were being nice(since we are all in highway in that situation to them, but they weren't nice to you back, blocking you of all things.)  I HATE THAT.

    I hate people who don't turn right on red when it's clear and there is no sign that they aren't allowed to, because that IS blocking traffic in my eyes.  They are blocking you from going when it's clear when it is allowed. 

     I hate when people honk on you when there is cars coming when you are pulling out from a yield/stop sign or place of business.  I won't get killed for someone.  If it's not safe to go, I won't go and I don't care how long they blow their horn on me.

     I hate when people have personal conversations in a parking garage exit when you are paying with the cashier or have a personal conversation blocking you from leaving.  WHY are people today so RUDE AND INCONSIDERATE OF OTHERS? WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO DO UNTO OTHERS AND TREAT OTHERS AS YOU'D LIKE TO BE TREATED IF THAT WERE YOU GETTING BLOCKED?

    I agree with sctiger and lizzybizzy80. I don't care if the speed limit is 65 and you're already going 75. Maybe I just want to go 80. Maybe I have an emergency, and that's why I'm flashing. When I got the call that my uncle was actively dying last year, best believe I was speeding and honking and flashing at every driver like BC&LM to try to get to that hospital in time to say goodbye. It's not your job to keep me within 10 mph of the speed limit. The left lane is for passing, not driving, and it's none of your concern why I want or need to pass you. Just get over- it's not safe to pass on the right. Even if there are only 2 cars on the whole highway and it's not affecting anyone, I don't cruise in the left lane. I pass, then get back to the right. It's just the rules of the road. But by far, my biggest pet peeve is when I am trying to switch lanes in the highway and when I signal, the cars around me speed up and refuse to let me over. I l've missed exits over this and I get soooo ragey. We're all on the same road going the same speed. You letting me into the lane I need to be in will not make you late or alter your day in any way!
    As far as you speeding goes, unless it is you or someone that has an emergency, that's just wrong. Now I will agree not to hog the left lane, but if all the other lanes aren't going speed limit and I can, I have EVERY LEGAL RIGHT to stay until I can move over and I shouldn't have to speed up for you to risk getting a ticket for you and I shouldn't have to slow down for you to think of just your time either.  If you don't want to follow the laws, then call an ambulance!!  I don't stay in the left lane unless all the other traffic is not going speed limit and sometimes the traffic finally when I get into the left lane it's steady to the speed limit in the lane next to me so I am not going to either speed up or slow down so you can break the law for ANY REASON and by honking on me and flashing me pisses me off more to make me stay in the lane no matter what.

    This really happened this story that about less than a year ago on a 2-lane avenue the speed limit is 35mph, but the traffic in the right lane was not going at least speed limit, so I went to the left lane. This pick up truck eventually was blowing their horn on me and tailgating me, eventually I had a chance to go over and obviously so did he as well since I did, but because of him being such a jerk, I stayed in the lane to piss him off, because he pissed me off to act like he shouldn't have to FOLLOW THE LAW LIKE EVERYONE ELSE DOES(INCLUDING YOU)! Anyway, so we finally get to the red light and I go to the right lane. He goes behind me and gets out of his car knocking on my window. There yes I was scared some, but ignored him. As he was walking back to his car the light was green, he was STILL SITTING THERE the JERK. KARMA BABY he ended up catching even the next red light that I made because it was green. 

    So when you do the honking and flashing, just remember how you are not following the law and you can't make people risk a ticket for you. I HATE people like you that think they are above the law. I have to follow the law, so DO YOU! You aren't a police officer I am assuming or an EMT or a fire fighter, so you have NO LEGAL RIGHTS to do what you did.  I will STILL stay in the lane if someone honks on me or flashes me to go faster. Any of you people that act like this, aw well you should go the speed limit as I have to, as EVERYONE has to. It's NOT FAIR. You aren't above anyone else in this world, don't act like it! The guy got his karma.  He wanted to be a jerk. He could have gone to the other lane during the time he was tailgating me, but didn't.  I am glad I chose to do what I did. He deserved it. I love getting KARMA from the jerks like you that think that you are ABOVE the law. 

    Unless you are bringing someone that has an emergency, you really have NO LEGAL rights to speed.  Honestly, you still can get pulled over even if you do have an emergency. I have read on the internet about some man got a ticket because he was bringing his wife that she was in labor.

    We all have to follow the laws.  You aren't a queen.

    My biggest pet peeves are people letting people in from places of businesses when they have many other ways to get out like the ways that have no traffic and when people block you to get into a lane or in a parking lot a space when the person isn't back out.

    Wow @Springs1‌ that's a driving rage wall of text, right there.
    Yeah, the #1 thing that bothers me more than anything is people will all the time think of the people coming out of a business that have other ways of getting out. I always choose to go out those other ways and make u-turns.  Also, when people have tried to let me in, it delays me and other drivers, because I don't go since I don't have right-of-way, they do. They have no legal rights to motion me to go, because they aren't a police officer directing traffic.

    I had just the other day some lady that a person above this lady already let someone in at the red light, then the light was green traffic started to move in front of her, but she decides not to go and motions the person out of the parking lot that has SEVERAL WAYS OUT(this was a grocery store).  I honked on her. I mean, WHY are only THOSE PEOPLE THOUGHT OF? WE HAVE FEELINGS TOO AND TIME THAT WE WANT TO GO.  WE HAVE RIGHT-OF-WAY because we had the green light. I am also mad at the person that decided to go. I always tell the person you have right-of-way when people try to let me in.  BOTH of them were doing lawfully and morally wrong things.

    wtf I hope I never meet you on a street while driving @Springs1‌ I think you have done serious issues. I mean, it's kind if common courtesy to let someone into traffic if they are waiting. I'm not saying let every car out if the parking lot, but you can let one. At least where in from that's called being nice. You're the asshole driver that I can't stand. But whatever. Hopefully you don't live around me.
    How is it "common courtesy" to just THINK OF THEIR TIME AND NOT ALL THE LINE OF PEOPLE BEHIND YOU THEIR TIME when they have OTHER WAYS OF GETTING OUT??? Tell me WHY if they have other ways of getting out that you'd even ONCE think of their time, huh?

    I inconvenience myself, NOT OTHERS when I drive. I don't go when the person says to go when I have to get out of somewhere or even had people try to let me in when turning left with them stopping traffic which is crazy of them to do that. 

    It's not nice to not think of the people's feelings BEHIND YOU. WE ARE CHOPPED LIVER I GUESS TO YOU? WHY? That person that is at the place of business could have gone out the way of NO TRAFFIC instead of CUTTING. Cutting has always been wrong no matter what even.

    There's no reason to worry about people that have no right-of-way UNLESS there is no other way out. If there is another way out that has no traffic, they should go that way and make a u-turn like I do. I have enough COMMON COURTESY TO DO THAT, WHY DO YOU FEEL THAT PERSON THAT IS COMING OUT SHOULDN'T DO THE SAME, HUH?

    Manners is to not just think of the people coming out. OUR TIME MATTERS JUST AS MUCH AS THEIRS AND NO ONE MADE THEM GO THERE, SO THEY COULD HAVE DECIDED TO NOT GO THERE AT A BUSY TIME LIKE THAT!

    The only time I do is like the interstate where as I said, NO OTHER WAY out so when a car has to yield, I let them in on the interstate because there's NO OTHER WAY. But when there's other ways of getting out, HOW THE HELL IS IT FAIR OR LAWFULLY OR MORALLY RIGHT to just think of their time when they could have decided to inconvience themselves going the OPEN way where there was NO TRAFFIC?

    Manners is also not going out the way of the traffic.  I mean if you were nice and considerate, you would do what I do inconvenience yourself going out another way. I DON'T EVER go out the way of the heavy traffic if some other ways have no traffic. That's just stupid and usually it's quicker to go the other way not to wait the entire red light. Also, a lot of people are selfish and need to get into a different lane, so you let them in, they block you to get over. That's just mean. 

    Manners would be if you need to pull out of somewhere you go the other way that has no traffic or very light traffic.  Make a u-turn.  Don't be an ass.

    One morning I was heading towards a light that was going to turn red and did. This car was at the gas station(which they have 3 lanes(2 regular lanes and the one she was by was a right turn only lane).  She would have been quicker to have made an easy u-turn and turned right at the light on the other lane going out the other way. Well what happened was I saw her she was somewhat pulling out getting ready to act like she was going to pull in front of me, but only got as far as the right-turn only lane. This van came and at first she didn't move the SELFISH BITCH she was. Blocking traffic is illegal. So she after 20 or so seconds decides to move instead of the 1st second I would have.  I couldn't believe she acted like she had right-of-way. It pissed me the hell off. She had to yield to me, so WHY did she basically almost push her way at first and then I was SO GLAD I didn't let the SELFISH bitch in because she blocked someone. I mean WOW, what an INCONSIDERATE person and you think that it's common courtesy to let this person in when they are SELFISH like that to BLOCK someone without moving the 1st second she could have. At least she moved, but it was a good 20 seconds or so before deciding to do the morally right thing to back up into the gas station parking lot so the van could try to turn right on red.

    Do you see why I don't let people in even more so? That bitch was selfish and YES it would have been a ZILLION TIMES QUICKER to have made a u-turn than to have waited the entire red light. Some stupid asshole of course let them in behind me, which at least I followed the LAW the way it's SUPPOSED TO BE. There's 4 ways to get out of that gas station, 2 on the side of the road she was at and 2 on the other side of the other road.  WHY feel sorry for a selfish bitch like that, that BLOCKED someone? I say F' people like that. They want to be mean and not follow the law. She acted like I was supposed to have let her in the stupid moron that doesn't know her laws.  Why was she so lazy to not make a u-turn. They even made a u-turn that was closer than what they had in previous years even, so it was an easy u-turn.  She was dumb! I am glad I didn't think of her feelings.  What about OUR feelings? We have places to go too, not just her. WHY should someone be inconvenienced when she could have gone the other way very easily?

    Not in Louisiana it isn't.  Also, you can still go down on another street turn on the street and turn around there or go around a block to the other side making a U shape turned in a way by going to other streets.

Certain areas you can't that have the signs.  Also, you still can go to another street and go around or turn around at the end of a street also. Why are you trying to make excuses to not do the morally and lawfully right thing, huh?

    I also don't speed. I go the speed limit. People have honked on me going the speed limit in some areas that it's really low like 15mph.

    --------- The speed limit was 90 in that gif.
    I have never heard of anything at least here above 70mph speed limit.

    The weird thing is I know where that is. I don't go into New Orleans too much since I don't work there, but I see some familiar signs.
