Or how about people that tailgate you when there is plenty of room to pass on the right. I'll be going 80 MPH on an open highway and some guy will pull up behind me and tailgate rather than pass me on the right. "Hey Mario Andretti, you're a race car driver, pass me on the right"....
Well what are you doing cruising in the left lane on an open highway? If you're doing 80 and someone else behind you is doing 90, move the hell over.
I can't stand the people that turn off a side street onto the main road and force me to slow down and then they do 10 miles under the speed limit,( amd behind me there wasn't another car as far as the eye can see). When they pull that BS, they will get tailgated real hard.
Also folks that don't get going when it changes to a green arrow light at a left turn. It's usually the idiot right in front of me that wasn't paying attention and by the time he get's moving he'll delay you just long enough so he's the last one to go under the light as it changes to yellow arrow and your stuck waiting for another cycle of light changes to make your left turn.
Why the hell would you be running 90 in the first place? Isn't 80 fast enough, no matter which lane you're in?
Evidently 80 isn't fast enough for the person doing 90. And if that's the case, mind your business and get the hell out of their way. Someone hogging the left lane has no business getting pissed that someone is driving faster than them. Higher speeds can be managed but poor lane discipline is dangerous at any speed. No matter how fast you're driving, drive on the right and pass on the left. Learn it. Know it. Live it.

People who don't know how to use merge lanes annoy me. Some people stop as soon as the on ramp meets up with the freeway, even though they have 1/4 mile of merging lane to use. That just backs up the traffic down the on ramp and also backs up the traffic in the right lane. I wish they would use the merge to meet the traffic flow speed so they can merge without too much disruption.
Unexplained congestion also annoys me. When approaching interchanges, it is the traffic in the left lane that slows the most, followed by traffic in the middle lane. The right lane is usually the fastest lane, until after the interchange.

That's because at major interchanges half the traffic in the right lane is exiting, thus opening up the lane more until on the other side of the interchange where traffic is merging on. The left and middle lanes are filled with people moving over from the right lane to avoid the cars slowing down to exit. So, it all turns into one big, retarded pointless mess.
You left out drivers talking on their cell phones, drivers eating while driving, drivers reading while driving, SUV drivers speeding in the rain, drivers that are not 110% focused on being the best driver they can be given the road conditions.

What annoys you the most in traffic?
