When there’s a sign on the road for a lane closure a mile or two ahead... and all of the cars get over immediately.
Even worse when you’re still a mile or so from where it actually closes, and there’s some idiot who doesn’t understand the correct way to do things and gets annoyed at people passing them on the right. So they try to block both lanes. Impeding traffic is illegal. I now start honking, flip that person off, and pass them on the shoulder.

This was almost to a T. Wife and I drove an hour and a half to church in Ankeny and beat all her family members who live within 5 min. Her family was also suppose to have everything ready to go for lunch so we could eat at 12:30, but that didn't happen either. They ended up eating at 2:45. I say they because I went and got food at 12:30 and was apparently the asshole.
I'll add a few.
The renters across the street who walk their dog at 3 in the morning, and their dog runs across the middle of my yard setting off my security system.
The neighbor behind me who lets her cat roam, and the cat loves sleeping on my vehicles and crapping in my yard.
Drivers who stop way back at lights, preventing people behind them from getting in turn lanes.
People who take miles and miles to pass in the left lane on the interstate.
My state and county road departments who let contractors do whatever they want with no accountability.
Drivers who don't know where they are going and stop in the middle of a busy street trying to decide what to do.
Drivers who stop at a traffic circle when there's no other cars even close to being in the circle.
Animal cruelty commercials. I can't deal with them, even if they are supposed to be for a good cause. If there was time to film it, there was time to relieve the animal from that amount of time suffering.
HROT spammers who post threads that are opinions of tweeters or bloggers. Why not try to post your own opinion, and have something to back it up.

I'm not on Facebook but wifey is and I'll see her page and see people we know who are married couples carrying on a conversation via comments on a post one of them has made. So the wife will post a picture of their kid doing something 'cute', and the husband will comment on it, and the wife will comment back. On Facebook. Just f*cking weird. Don't you guys live in the same house for this conversation to happen?
Move in day at college, my roommate was coming up to the outside door carrying a TV. This was 20-some years ago so it was not a nice light flat screen. Two girls walked out of the door when he was close, and proceeded to let the door slam in his face as they walked out. He turned around and yelled 'Thanks for the help, bitch.'
I have tried to teach my kids, it takes maybe 5 seconds of your life to hold the door for others. I don't care if you thank me or not, but I will hold the door for you.
People who have their who have their mobiles on "speaker" in public settings. I don't want to hear the sound of your tik tok video or your musical choice of the day.
People who say "wifey' or "hubby"
People who pay for goods in cash and require change. Use a card and keep the line moving.
Note, this doesn't apply at a ball game when a beer doesn't require change. If it's $10 and you hand them 11 or 12 in cash, fine with me. Keep the line moving. I'm thirsty.
“That’s because I mistook you for a decent person, with common courtesy. Fear not, your memorable mug ensures this mistake is impossible for me to repeat. Good day, ma’am.”
I get through quicker with cash than waiting for someone to push buttons for debit/credit, cash back?, round up?, receipt?
I'll add the person at Casey's that is cashing in 10 scratch offs and takes 5 min picking out more.
And person at the store with 20 coupons that will save them a total of $6. Got behind this person on Saturday. They went through every reciept and all that trouble dropped their total from $55 down to $51. Every check out was 3-4 deep, have some self awareness and come in at 7am if you have to coupon.

You must read at a pre-K level if it takes you that long to answer (at most) 3 short questions. And based on your prior posting, that's entirely believable.
Also I can't tell you the last time I had to punch for a receipt. They either just give me one or ask if I even want one.
Salt Life sticker in vehicle’s rear window.
I had no idea so many iowans with low paid hourly jobs had second homes near the coast.

Went into a hospital where the wife volunteers for a special event.
Had to wear a mask. They served ice cream and drink, so everyone removed their masks and sat next to each other and talked. Mind you I'm not against wearing a mask in a place that requires it but why the hell serve food and drink? Just stupid to me.

Radio stations that play Need You Tonight only, not the proper Need You Tonight/Mediate combo. Freaking INXS amateurs
This would depend on the layout of the garage. If it’s just a never ending loop, then sure. But some have weird intersections where people just stare at each other.
I don't do it often, but I have found myself turning on my turn signal by habit when making a turn. Then commenting on what an idiot I was.
Also people who come roaring up to the round about while you're in it giving you the idea they are not stopping and then slamming on the brakes. Meanwhile you're slowing down traffic behind you trying to guess if the driver is going to stop or not.
