I didn't think I had anything that bugged me and today i realized something that 'grinds my gears'.

People that take a turn excessively slow, especially left turns at a light. They go so slow that only 2 cars can make it through. The worst is when you seem them in some type of sport(y) car.

I hate this too!! I can be found yelling the phrase most often, "make the turn!". Or, when people turn on their blinker for a right hand turn- then slow down to a snail's pace and finally turn at like .5mph

My phrase of choice in these situations is, "Careful, you might roll it!"

People who get in the left lane to make a left turn. Just when you are about to pass them, the get half way into your lane like they drive a semi even though they are in a geo.

I basically have to do this in my truck going into our neighborhood because the town never cleaned the sand off the road. If I don't slow way down, I would slide into the car waiting to make a left. (waits for the town to sweep the inch or so of sand from last winter)
