People who ride up someone's back bumper, but refuse to pass.

Those that hover in your blind spot, and refuse to pass. Worse is when they are in front of you, and they refuse to pass the truck they are hovering on, or get over.

This weekend, I went for a 3 hour roundtrip drive in the freeway slow lane.

Have you ever noticed how shortsighted people are? Instead of looking far ahead and going around you ahead of time, they'll race up to your bumper, hover for X minutes, and THEN go around you.

I recently had someone honk me, because I wasn't driving fast enough to the red light. So they raced around me and waited at the red light ahead of me.

These are the people I love. Hurry, race to the red light. They're generally the same person who tootles their way up to speed once the light turns green.

Another personal favorite is those who cannot park in a stall. I drive a CC/LB F250 and get it almost perfectly in the lines every time, only to come out and find a small car next to me, half in my stall.

They underestimated the gravity of your ride.

Yeah, guns several feet away in the back are "easy access" for an enraged driver. (now legitimate HS).

Easter weekend has reminded me of one of my pet hates when the tourists come over. It's like they are stuck in 4th gear, they speed and tailgate in the 30 zones, and then hold the traffic up in the 60 zones, 40 MPH everywhere. I'm sure this is one the reasons my fuel economy gets better in the summer months...

Folks who refuse to position their entire car inside the turn-only lanes. Their rear bumper just HAS to stick out onto the main road.
