Not using their turn signals if the only other traffic is pedestrians.

So many times I’ve been crossing an intersection to the opposite corner where I could cross either street first, so I pick the street that won't block the car crossing the other way. They’re not signalling so I figure they’re going straight, and cross the other way so they won’t have to wait for me—but seemingly every time it turns out the car was really turning after all. So they’re stuck because they couldn’t conceive of pedestrians as traffic they need to communicate with.

I don’t understand how people don’t indicate in general. It’s just so automatic for me, I’d need to make a conscious effort not to.

Sometimes I accidentally indicate because I’m going around a sharp bend that my brain registers as a corner 😂

Not only this annoyance you mentioned, but my personal little saying is that turn signals aren't just for the benefit of who you see, but more importantly for anyone you don't see!

You should have already made sure you're clear of everyone before you think about leaving your current path. Using the indicator is a preventative measure for the sake of yourself and anyone in a blind spot or that you failed to notice.

Whether people read as a hobby or not. As it implies a type of interest into the world around them.

And as a lesser second, what they read.

I have a long list of people I would execute if I could get away with it. The transgressions that get you on the list are numerous and varied.

Nothing.

I'm very vocal in my judgements.

Nosing (instead of reversing) into a parking spot. You always pick the conditions of your arrival, but not always your departure. Also, reversing into traffic is ridiculous and illegal in some places. Parking nose-first is dangerous and lazy.

EDIT: Love how you're all justifying your bad driving habits. Camera? Still can't scan for incoming traffic. Bad weather only on occasion? It's more than bad weather that can make reversing out of a door dangerous.

... and I HATE angle parking.

We get inclement weather about once every 6 years. I'll choose to live dangerously.

If they finish their food. I don't like seeing food go to waste.

Working in the food service industry crushes my soul on a daily basis.
