1. Well-meaning people plowing a single lane in a road/street. My wife and I were driving around looking at Christmas lights last night. Many of our town's streets had been cleared(?) by a local person, with a tractor and rear blade. However, this person only made a single path down the street. He didn't even angle his blade so that the snow would move to one side of the street. So, the snow balled-up on each side of the single-wide lane. If another vehicle was coming the other direction, who would be the one to get stuck in the mounds of snow? First of all, the snow wasn't even that deep so plowing wasn't even necessary. They just made the situation worse. 2. SUVs that are exempt from the laws of physics. I left work at noon yesterday to get the kids from school. Since I have a rear-wheel-drive car, I took it pretty slow (35-50mpg). All these assholes (male and female) in their SUVs and 4x4s just had to pass me because I was *not* driving a similar vehicle. (I was slowing them down from their important lives and who am I to keep their SUV in a slow-moving line?) I wonder, when they end up in a ditch around a curve, if they actually thought that their vehicle is immune to physics? Sure a 4x4 can get started faster, but when on ice, it definitely takes longer to stop than my lightweight car. Also, a 4x4 won't help much when cornering on ice at highway speeds. Assholes.
