The ones who cut in front of you & slam on the brakes! I get this a lot when I am towing my work trailer. They don't seem to understand that it is more difficult for me to stop quickly because of the weight I am towing.

People who park too close to me.

Hey, thanks for the support of all my hard work here Mel.....lol! kidding! She did make it to 200K first however. You can smile :)

Drivers who have seemingly passed their driver's test without learning how to use indicators and the other ones who have passed without learning how to use their mirrors and then the other ones who don't seem to think the word 'pedestrian' is a word for a legitimate reason.

I do alot of driving and mostley in rush hour and I cant stand WHITE Van drivers they are so rude there are always on there cells and they squeeze in where they can and just dont have any regard for other cars the only ones that they seem to have respect for is artigulated lorries( tracter trailers)

the ones who pass just to get to a stop signal a nano second ahead of you

I don't have any gripe.  State Farm Insurance does.

What I call the lane wanderers the one's that are so busy on their cell phones that they forget they are driving and they wander all over the highway, that is my biggest gripe and oh yeah my worst biggest gripe is tailgaters I hate them.

That nine of of ten drivers do not know HOW to make a safe and proper LEFT turn

They do not  know the law REQUIRES a driver to move their vehicle to a position at the LEFT CENTER of an intersection, and just sit behind the cross walk

I'll bet Jesus would have used his turn signals...

The other biggest gripe I have is when you come up behind a driver  going 15 mph below speed limit and if you get a chance to safely pass you start to and they speed up quickly to try to keep you from passing them as if they OWNED the road!!!  I have only ever encountered this here in WNC and nowhere else, thank God!!   LOVED it when I had my V8 Ford Explorer and they couldn't out run me, ....but, alas,  I have that no more.  Being more gas efficient................

On an 8 mile long country road with many twists and curves, you see ahead about 400 yards a car pull up to a stop sign on an adjacent road, sit there for 5-8 seconds and THEN pull out slowly in front of you only  100 yards from you and drive at 40 mph for the rest of the duration of the highway with no opportunity to pass,.............And I'm on my way to work!!!!  UGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!  Deal with this daily!  Price you pay for living in paradise.

tail gaters ..people who drive up your butt, like it's going to make you go faster...

This is not a gripe, but how my middle son handles those drivers who do all those annoying things we've mentioned here (what an outstanding question, by the way).
So, this is what Cody does.
Let's say someone just passed him, got back in front of him, and then slows down.  Cody bides his time, then pulls up next to the jerk, ready to pass and take his rightful place "in the lead".

But, he catches the eye of the driver (or a passenger), and points to one of the tires, earnestly mouthing the words "That's your tire.  That's your tire."  He's not lying.  That IS their tire!

The people thank Cody for alerting them to this fact, and promptly pull over to see if they have a flat.  By the time they get back into their vehicle (p.o'd for sure), Cody is at least two-three miles ahead of them.

Excellent answers.  I'd like to add one........and I really, really, really can't stand this.
Pedestrians are supposed to walk facing the traffic.  Bicyclists are supposed to ride in the same direction as the traffic (they are being passed from behind, not facing on-coming traffic).  The reason for this is because they are on wheels.  Ths seems to be a foreign concept to alot of people in my area who ride bikes....and they weave into traffic while they're at it.

IF YOU ARE MOVING ALONG THE ROAD ON WHEELS, YOU NEED TO BE RIDING ALONG WITH THE TRAFFIC.  BICYCLES HAVE WHEELS...,RIDE WITH THE TRAFFIC. damnit

when you are courteous to another driver e.g let them in your lane,and you don't get a wave or a thanks.

All of the above. Slow drivers in particular. Those with Florida plates especially, you know who you are. If you can't control your car at 75 MPH on route 95 maybe you should consider surrendering your license.

i own the road

Driving slow in the left lane.  Talking on the phone.  Eating while driving.  No turn signals.

I've seen it too carmaxable putting on makeup.

Tailgating. Someone tailgates me, put up my hand, as if to say "What are you doing?" If that doesn't work, I slow down, to a crawl, if necessary. If I have to, I'll stop the car, and I just might come out swinging. I have had more tailgaters in the last year than in all my decades of driving. If I get rear-ended and my son is in the car, watch out!
