One of the guys at work had a big red button on the wall over his desk: "The more people I meet the more I like my dog."
I'm sure many people can relate.

Yikes!
I view a roundabout as an opportunity to let the person behind me get in front of me! Just go around another time.
I live just off a major 5 lane road, I'm not quite sure why but people seem to realize the are going the wrong direction and turn on my street and use my driveway to turn around. I have joked for years that I'm going to put up container with a slot and a sign that says $1 TURN AROUND FEE.
The only time I've had this happen, someone else was taking notes. That way they had a baseline to compare to see if my gums were changing for better or worse.Dental hygienists who call out numbers when they use that nasty prob to evaluate your gums. What’s the point in doing this? I don’t need the guilt. A summary at the end would be sufficient.

I keep meaning to buy these on EBAY.Lately it seems like the number of angry, impatient, and self-centered people is getting worse.
Saturday my wife and I went for a nice hike at the local park, then went out for dinner afterward. On the way home I was waiting at a stop sign when a pickup truck pulls up behind me and honks his horn. Whatever. I waited till traffic cleared then pulled out on the main road, with Mr. Pickup following closely. It's a 20mph school zone in a residential area. He's following close and after a few blocks starts weaving back and forth trying to make a point. I'm probably doing 5-10 over the limit already. I come up to the round about, slow down to look for oncoming cars, then proceed slowly through the round about. He starts laying on his horn constantly for like 30-45 seconds. The lane leaving the round about goes through a public park, with limited visibility at some of the crossings. It's a sunny day, people walking everywhere, so I slow down to make sure no one is crossing at the crosswalk. Mr Truck gets pissed, passes me in the bike lane on the right, nearly takes out the front corner of my car, stops in front of me and flips me off. Whatever, I'm not sure what ticked him off, but it sure ruined a nice day with the wife. He's lucky he didn't kill someone walking on the side of the road. Of course, then he proceeds at the same speed I was going anyway through the rest of the neighborhood. So stupid and pointless.
Next day, Sunday, the wife and I went grocery shopping. Busy day at the store, waiting in a line of cars to pull out of the lot onto the main road. Suddenly some lady decides I'm going too slow (like where am I going to go?), and passes me in the parking lot. Again, she nearly takes out the front of my car, nearly hits another car backing out, and ends up stopped right in front of me anyway. We sat behind her at the next two stop lights, and ended up going past her when we turned off. So impatient and dangerous and she didn't gain anything by behaving that way.

It seems everyone only thinks about themselves. Me, Me, Me. Get out of my way. My time is more important than yours. If you don't like it I'll yell at you or worse. What happened to being nice? Patience is a virtue. Love your fellow man. Help those in need. Just being courteous.
Sheesh. I'm losing hope for humanity...
Back in my flying days, part the recurrent checkride would include a "pubs check" (making sure flight manuals were up to date). I recall someone getting dinged because they removed all of those pages from their manuals. Ah, how I miss that buffoonery.
Today's pet peeve is when the media latches onto a word and they use that word incessantly. We are in a winter storm and for days, we have heard how "impactful" it will be. If I had a nickel for every time I heard "impactful", I would have about 4 million dollars in nickels.
Just as irritating is the fact that during the first week in February we are getting a snow/ice storm after getting a winter storm last week. Who'd thunk it would be cold during the winter!

What is the reason they can't fill in the hole/trench/pit completely?
People who don't dim their headlights until they're about 20 yards away.
As far as I know, you're supposed to dim your lights when you get within 500 feet (160 yds) of the vehicle you're meeting.
I'm blind now, but thanks for eventually dimming your lights.
I'd mention that all of these are not legal but I don't want to stray too far off topic.
Where I live, you're lucky if people dim their lights at all. Also many Bro-Dozers who love to run their off-road light bars on the road, not to mention the "Custom Offsets" wheels that stick out 5+ inches and kick up all kinds of debris causing so many cracked windshields. I'd mention that all of these are not legal but I don't want to stray too far off topic.

We were riding around with my MIL a few weeks ago and her truck has the auto dimming feature that I think was terrible...waiting far too long to dim the lights (
