What grinds your 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

one and one makes two, together we are free

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)
