Agreed, i've thought that before

Ashjstarr:
I am one for shouting in the safety of my own car as I tend to avoid confrontation like the plague, but over the weekend I realised I was in the wrong lane so I indicated left and waited for a suitable gap then pulled out. The car that I pulled out of took exception to this (despite not needing to change his speed) and flashed at me. I would always leave this be but we both ended up parking in the same supermarket a few rows apart, as he passed my car he muttered something like 'ill get you next time' under his breath. Again I let it go.
then whilst i was fiddling for a trolley token he muttered 'knob' under his breath at which point I turned to him calling him out, calmly stated the facts about the situation and that if he wanted to 'get me next time' he was more than welcome to try. I walked off and he stood there embarrassed in front of a handful of other shoppers.

Fully expected a keyed car on my return but it seems he thought better of it.

The point is, like P3T3R pointed out above, there are certain weird layouts and sudden lane changes that catch even locals (me) out but people love to get aggressive towards people who make those mistakes!

Bozz:
Cyclists going through red lights when the rest of us wait til green, And why do councils waste a lot of good money on cycle lanes when 9/10 adult cyclists ride on all footpaths anyway ?

willni:
1. People that hog the fast lane then speed up when you go to undertake, so not to let you in.
2. People that don't let ambulances or other services out.
3. People smoking in their cars (to me just as bad as on the phone)
4. People that look at you like you just punched their child for honking at them when they've sat at a green light until it goes red.

Addymk2:
1. People that treat the lanes on the motorway as 60-70-80
2. People who can't maintain a consistent speed so you end up overtaking them over and over again as the speed up past you, drop in then slow down
3. Que jumpers
4. People who approach a flowing motorway form a clear slip road at 30mph
5. Wrong indication on roundabouts
6. Old people
7. How women on the motorway NEVER give you a gap to get out, i.e off a slip road into traffic.
8. Other drivers
9. People who don't replace bulbs
10. People who insist on flooring it at red lights to slam on
