My driving pet peeve.. probably #1... is

People that are (supposedly!) yielding onto the highway ... that will not speed up or slow down to yield/merge, but, expect YOU to do the slowing down or speeding up to let them in, and, if you don't they blare their horn at you.

IT'S YOUR JOB TO YIELD/MERGE -- NOT THE DRIVERS ALREADY ON THE HIGHWAY!
But! If you're on the Interstate, and someone is driving on the on-ramp trying to merge, and you're able to get over to the left lane, please do! It's common courtesy to allow room for the merging driver, plus it's safer too. I understand that you can't always get over, but it's rude not to if you're able. By the time I get onto the Interstate, I want to be going (at least) the speed limit, and so many times, truck drivers stay in the right lane forcing me to go either super fast or super slow to merge. It is not safe to stop on the ramp! Let people in if you can.

I agree, but when I see the person merging making no attempt to speed up or slow down to get in front of or behind me, then, has the nerve to honk at me... well, they are not even making an attempt!

Don't you hate it when....

..... your home team loses a game, or the playoffs, and they talk about how hard it is on the PLAYERS!
Please! The fans are taking money out of their LIMITED budget to watch you clowns -- meanwhile you get to go home to your mansion and play golf or go to Tahiti for a few weeks! I'm not sympathetic!

Or you are stuck behind someone and when the lane opens up to two- they suddenly speed up as you try to go around before it is back to one lane again.
