Mine is when I’m driving behind a pack of cars and either someone merges into my lane from the center or makes a left turn across in front of me because there is space, but being me the road is completely open. I’m other words they choose to turn/merge in front of me and make me lift when they could have just waited for one car to go by. Irrational because there is just enough space for them to complete their maneuver and they aren’t doing anything wrong but why can’t they just wait goddammit.
What are your irrational annoyances Oppo?

Drivers who can’t be bothered to signal a merge and think that their car’s body language is enough of a hint for me to let them in. I’m usually courteous, but refusing to signal instantly puts them on my shit-list. It actually makes me less willing to give them an opening.

Seriously it’s like they think their car can point to you where it wants to go.
Oh wait! It can! It’s called an indicator!

Cars that go 5mph over the speed limit on single lane (in each direction) roads. If you travel somewhere just under the speed limit, I will gladly pass you and continue on my merry way without complaint. If you are going 10-15 over, I will just go that speed and be happy following along. But 5 over is that awkard spot where I need to speed up too much to pass but way too slow to comfortably follow.
Its mainly annoying to me because that same person is going to then speed up to 20+ over on the interstate but just cant handle going a reasonable speed on back roads.

Well, if there is enough space in front of you, I’m going in front of you—because waiting to get behind you slows down those behind me more than it’ll slow you down. I could probably coast into that spot (or accelerate) rather than nail the brakes to get behind you. Every time I’ve seen someone brake to merge it ends up f’ing up traffic flow. I hate being the guy holding up traffic.
That being said:
- I’m going to do my best to get into position for the turn BEFORE the last second.
- I’d rather go past my turn and come back than hold up traffic.
- I’m assuming there’s someone behind me. Just because your lane is clear behind you doesn’t mean mine is. If we’re both clear, odds are I won’t risk pissing you off.

when some of us at work go to lunch, one individual must be a compulsive “modifier.” e.g. can’t accept anything off of the menu without requesting something be changed. e.g. the drink has to have either lots of or light ice, hold this on the salad, put that on the side instead, and so on. and it’s not an allergen thing. I think it’s just a control-freak thing.

As a NYC resident, I hate drivers who don’t know how to go with the flow of pedestrians. If you’re driving straight through an intersection, you NEVER slow down. Don’t try to be nice and let pedestrians go. You have the right of way and we time our waking pace so we cross the street a fraction of a second before/after you get to us.
Similarly, if you’re turning onto a cross street and there’s a car-sized gap between pedestrians, SHOOT THE GAP. Make it fast and efficient so the approaching pedestrians don’t have to adjust their waking pace.

That’s not irrational, they’re directly affecting you and causing you to have to react/slow down.

I meant people that are in the center lane trying to merge into traffic or turn left across traffic. Usually there’s just one car in the center lane those situations. And you wouldn’t be holding up traffic to wait since you are in the center lane.

Sure but life is just reacting to constant external stimuli.
I meant irrational more in the sense of “well it isn’t illegal, and there is space in front of me...”. Just sorta slightly dickish.

Ahhh... gotcha. Thought you meant people traveling beside you that needed to cross your lane to make a turn.

My Volt has a little pull off panel on the bumper and an indent in the rear underfloor storage for the tow recovery eyelet that’s required for the European market version. Mine however doesn’t have the eyelet in the car. After watching the tow truck driver struggle with how low the car is when I had a flat I figured I’d just buy an eyelet and make it easier if it needs done again. I remove the panel to check because the first place I found them listed two different Chevy thread sizes. Behind the panel is foam. I found out the US spec bumper isn’t drilled even though it has the panel and a place to store the eyelet.

So adding mustard to my baconator makes me a control freak? Or does it just mean i have an unhealthy obsession with the yellow stuff?
Just playing, 99% of stuff I order is eaten the way it comes.

I get irate when im keeping a 2 second following distance in traffic, and some asshole decides that the space in front of me is for him.

Not irrational, but self important. No one else matters on the road, but their whim and where they’re going.
