I love most people, I really do. That’s actually a lie, I’d say I like seventy-five percent of people, which is most. I love babies and kittens. I’m telling you this to really make you understand how angry I get when I’m driving.
The Top Ten Things I HATE That People Do When Driving:
1. If you are in a giant, I mean GIANT, SUV, Truck, or even a Jeep, not a flippy over Jeep, but like, a Cherokee, and you SLOW DOWN to almost a STOP to go over a bump in the road, I hate you. I have a Jeep, and I use that Jeep. My Cherokee is smaller than your Yukon, and you need to blast over those bumps like a man. It’s giant for a reason.
2. If you throw things out of your window, I hate you. A bird is going to eat that, and die. You are a killing machine.
3. There are blinkers for a reason, they are to BLINK! You use them to show me which way you are going! And they also tell me why you are slowing down!! If you just start slowing down, I’m really tempted to just smash into you! To teach you a lesson on blinkage.
4. People that fly through parking lots. They are a safe haven, and you are ruining them. I have to be all ninja-like when I’m parking! I think it’s safe to pull out, and WHOOSH! There’s some whore flying behind me!
5. Also on the subject of parking lots, if you sit there waiting for a space that someone is getting ready to back out of, for like, literally, five minutes, then you’re dead to me. Unless it is a crazy situation, where there are NO spaces at the end, then there is no reason for that mess.
6. Don’t yell at me when I’m driving in the same area as you and not going as fast as you’d like. I’m going the speed limit, maybe safely over, and you are a redneck and I hate you.
7. If I am driving you someplace, and you take your seatbelt off after I’ve made you put it on, I am going to stop the car and kick your ass. If I get pulled over, I am going to get fined like there is no tomorrow for you being stupid, and that is no good.
8. Also if I am the driver and you are the passenger, don’t mess with whatever is on the radio. I have delicate playlists for my driving and listening pleasure, and if you mess with that, I might crash and kill all of us. And do not question the playlist names, i.e. Nice Music, Happy Music, and The Absolute Most Fantastic Songs. They make sense to me, and I am in charge.
9. Don’t play your country music so loud that it drowns out my perfect playlistness. I will beat you in an “I hate your music, watch mine go louder” contest.
10. Don’t look at me at stops. It makes me uncomfortable, and I wasn’t looking at you. You had better watch the road, or else you will miss something, and probably die.

I hate garbage throwers!! However they are not as bad as cigarette butt chuckers. First you smokers have to ruin our nice clean breathing air and then you have to throw your still-lit cigarette out the window of your car! I hate you all.

The blinker thing drives me crazy. What makes people think they don’t have to use them?
Also, I hate when people don’t move all the way into the shoulder lane when they turn into a parkling lot so you have to slow to a crawl just because they are turning.
And then if they don’t use their blinker too it’s like a double whammy!

I emailed a friend of mine once after arriving at work and said “If you unfroze Walt Disney and put him in the middle of I-26 at 7:15 in the morning, the first question he’d ask would be ‘When did they quit putting turn signals on cars?’ the second would be ‘Am I getting royalites for that?’ after he saw the lady that drives the Mickey Mouse be-decked SUV.

“Road Rage” is my middle name.

I agree with your list. Amen sister!! Add people with bumper stickers that have wording too small to read. Don’t make me crash into you just to read your flipping bumper sticker. If you have something to say, SAY IT!
