All right, here you go. The perfect thread to vent. Just take all your frustrations and type them here like their is no tomorrow.
For instance:
I was driving down the road. Oh, a red light, about a hundred feet ahead. A guy cuts me off, and stops right in front of me, so I'm forced to break hard. We're getting to the light at the same time, Buddy! Calm Down!
"Oh, hurry honey, we need to be the first one to wait at the stop light!"

Sticking with the car subject... when you start to pull out in front of someone or next to them and you dont see them... then all of a sudden you do so you stop. You dont get in there way or cut them off you wait... and they look at you knowing you almost went and they get all Pissy at you and either honk or flick you off... give you a dirty look something like that... its like I STOPPED I saw you and I DIDNT cut you off... and lemme tell you when people do that to me I wanna go back in time and cut them off anyways... I hate that dont be mad at me for a mistake that I caught and DIDNT DO!

Disclaimer: I don't have anything against the majority of older people, except for the ones listed below.
1. It's really annoying when its pouring with rain and you're rushing to work/college/school and you get stuck behind old people WALKING SLOWLY WITH UMBRELLAS. I'm standing there, getting soaked whilst they dawdle along perfectly dry.
2. It's also annoying when they almost cause an accident and don't actually notice, and continue driving or walking along completely oblivious to all dangers.
3. When you overtake them and they just stop dead. I mean, there's plenty of room for both people on the pavement side-by-side yet they stop (it's really annoying because I can see it in the corner of my eye).
4. When you're at the supermarket/bank/post office and you only have one item/one small request and there's an old man at the counter talking away while the queue builds behind him and extends out of the shop...
5. I also hate it when disabled (or otherwise underpriveledged people) use their disability as a shield - e.g. "You can't dispute my opinion - I'm disabled" and "I'm disabled - show some respect". The latter comment is completely wrong because I see disability transparently and so respect or disrespect a disabled person for the same reasons I would an able-bodied person. Also, I think respect has to be earned and not given out just because someone's disabled. Empathy yeah, but not respect.

Keeping with the car thing . . . it's annoying when someone pulls up to a stop sign (coming in to the road you're driving on) - they do a rolling stop and then accelerate through the stop sign to get in front of you, only to slow down and not match the speed you were driving.
To add insult to injury, there generally isn't anyone behind you anyway - they just wanted to get in front of you!
If you think its unsafe driving then you guys should meet my uncle who's house is right at the top of a long and busy street. Aparently some people cannot turn correctly because they forget to SLOW DOWN first. And these people have no excuse, they were all sober. Yes, more than one person has driven into his house. One was 2 Thursdays ago followed by another 3 days later. My family and I are going to help him next week at the neighborhood meeting so the commitee sees the stress he's beengoing through\ and gives him what he needs.

I hate when you are waiting by a locked door that you need to go through, and someone else comes up that needs to pass through the door also. You say "The door is locked!" but still they see the need to reach out and try to turn the doorknob. Did they not trust you when you told them that it was locked? If the door was unlocked, why would you be sitting outside of the door?

haha i've always wanted to hurry back to class after lunch and just stand outside the door and tell people it's locked, just so everyone is tardy, but yeah like you said they'll try the door so it probabl wouldn't work.
and i'm with hsteinbrick that it's annoying when people post on relaly freaking old threads.
when I'm walking around my campusand some lazy idiot is driving a Segway to get around while over 95% of us students walk (and no he doesn't work for the university).

when I sneeze uncontrollably. Seriously, I never sneeze just once. It's at least 3 to 5.

when you're watching a movie at home, and somewhere in the third act of a movie someone else enters the room asking a million questions just to figure out what's going on.
