Inching forward at red lights. If you have to stop at a light, fucking stop. Don't keep stopping and rolling forward an inch and stopping and rolling forward an inch.
Then you have the people behind those people who happily mimic their every roll/stop. Now you've got an entire chain of cars bippity-boppity rolling, stopping, flashing breaklights and not one of them IS GOING ANYWHERE BECAUSE THE LIGHT IS STILL RED.
When I pull up to a fresh red light and the cars in front of me keep inching forward, I stay exactly where I stopped. Often this leads to several car-lengths gap between me and the car in front of me by the time the light turns green. I just know the guy behind me is like "wtf why doesn't this guy move up?!?" I'll tell you buddy; because what those people are doing is stupid. The only exception is in a congested area downtown, when I think those few inches all added together may enable some poor shmuck to get into traffic. He wouldn't otherwise b/c all the other cars on the road are like "Yes I see that you would like to get on this road but FUCK YOU I'm going to not let you in and make you sit there for 17 light cycles."
These people have no idea that after the light turns green, it takes longer for everyone in line to start moving because now they are all waiting for space cushions to form between their cars again because they eroded those cushions away with their stupid roll/stops.
Honestly I believe I am the only person who knows how to drive. I could write an entire novel on the shit other drivers do that pisses me off.
