Flipside of #3; the people who accelerate, when you come up alongside them, KEEPING you in their blind spot.

[AquaPython]

they forgot the worst two of all!

#1 those who take your blinker as a personal insult to their families and mothers. They, at the first sight of your inclination to change lanes, no matter if it is to get in the faster lane or slower lane or even the exit lane, will speed up to box you out. You Shall not pass... in front of me! it is an attack on my religion to see the rear end of your car!
this may be a floridiot thing, because I remember people in NJ and NY being very pleasant and agreeable to your wishes to lane change.

#2 - Lets all hold hands, as we two / three drive in two / three lanes at the same position, and at the same FUCKING speed: Doucheteen MPH! Why not? it's not like anybody has to be anywhere to be but sitting behind our oblivious asses and looking past us at the vast stretches of glorious, virgin, open road ahead.

What, people still signal? I thought that I was the only one.

I have been guilty of this, and here's why:

If there is an established "line" in my lane, and everyone in my lane has been waiting patiently in that lane because that is the lane they need to be in, and someone comes buzzing past in the next lane but they really needed to be in my lane and just didn't want to wait in the "line," then you'll see the space between me and the car in front of me shrink faster than a dick in the Arctic. I don't care how long they run their turn signal, it's not a license to skip the cars that have been driving in that lane patiently and maintaining a safe distance between each other.

If it's just normal traffic and both lanes are moving along, then I welcome a turn-signaler and will usually open up the space for them if possible. Also if the other lane is stuck, but I see the turn-signaler is waiting to be let in and not trying to bully his way in.

See it every day, on my way home from work. You've got a line that's more than a half mile long, waiting patiently to hit the on-ramp to The Gardiner Expressway (main east-west route along the lakeshore, in Toronto), and some asshat will run all the way to the end of it in order to queue jump. And some other asshat always lets him in! The same people, day in and day out, and no one learns.

The same thing happens once we're actually on the ramp, too. The left lane, of two, continues. The right lane ends. Assholes keep driving up the breakdown lane, and then push their way into the real lane.

The only one I take a slight umbrage with is the barriers on the side of the road. Around here, they stick them right on the line, and 99% of the time, they're stuck up in an area where they're working on the road. The road is torn up, has different layers and the lanes have been shifted, so there are plenty of deep groves in the road that throw your car in a random direction out of nowhere. It's unnerving as shit when you're driving straight and the lane shifts over some fresh asphalt and all of a sudden the wheel jerks randomly. Fucking hate that shit. Otherwise, solid list.

Perhaps if people wouldn't cut into my lane at the very last second, I wouldn't get mad. I shouldn't be forced to slow down to accomodate you. Next time wait until I've passed you, THEN get into my lane.
