Other people who can straight to the boiler: people who don’t understand priority when driving. The amount of times I have to sit at a stop sign and like wave through a driver on the right who is waiting for me despite the fact that they have the priority is insane.
Edit: just to be clear I’m talking about when I and that driver arrive at the same time
That and people who don’t understand how to zipper merge.

There’s an on ramp junction of two merge lanes joining before the actual all highway near me that is perpetually backed up, and the textbook perfect situation for zipper merging.
…I’ve witnessed maybe three occasions ever in which the other drivers actually executed it correctly.
There’s gotta be some way to design merges to encourage zipper merging, but I have no idea what that would be.
We also have a really bad merge up here where a single lane of traffic coming out a fairly sharp turn from a small feeder highway merges into the LEFT lane, resulting in people merging in at like 80km/h when the people already in the lane were trying to do 100+ (and come on, it’s the fast lane, they’re probably closer to 130)

Daily facepalm.
