People who drive faster than the speed limit.
As a speeder I have one request, please for the love of God get out of the way.
People who drive faster than the speed limit.

The interstate from the vast western Milwaukee suburbs exits into downtown via Van Buren St. That street is four lanes, one way, from the highway to the center of downtown.
From 7:00 am to 9:00 am, there is no parking on Van Buren because EVERYONE from the western suburbs needs to exit the highway onto that street and we need all four lanes to accommodate the huge volume of traffic.
That, however, doesn't stop oblivious idiots from parking there during the morning rush hour and completely f'ing up the traffic flow for blocks.
In Chicago, you don't ask for a lane change, you take it. That's how you have to drive here.

Seeing someone pull up to a stop sign, look directly at me coming down the hiway at 50+, not another vehicle behind me as far as I can see, and that guy blows right through the stop sign in front of me and I've got to dynamite the brakes to not hit them. Then watch him screw around with something in the passenger seat because he obviously wasn't ready to go yet. And now he's doing 10 miles under the limit because he's still screwing around with his papers, phone, or coffee.
Pretty much how you guys got the name FIB. Cause when you come up here you still drive like that. What really bugs me is when I am driving down the interstate doing 70-ish and some FIB passes me like I am standing still. THEN I get a get a couple miles up the road and a local, not the FIB, is pulled over by a trooper.
Also, what is up with people insisting on following me in my blind spot? I speed up, they speed up. I slow down, they slow down. Get outta my blind spot so I can see you, ya moron!
********* every morning.Im in the right lane semi in the left going slower. Im not speeding up even more for some ******* tailgaiter so he can run past me, ill brake and keep his ass behind both of us. I dont tolerate that riding up on you crap.Sorry tailgaiter but the semi should be in the right lane.Too many dumb drivers getting too close.I get your point but im not speeding up on your account! Deal with it dumb aggressive driver.Boost your ego by beating your wife when you get home,moron.
Trust me, I don't like it any more than you do. I'm the guy who let's everyone in and gets honked at by people behind me because I was courteous.
I leave people in, don't block an intersection and never get honked at. What are you doing different that causes people to honk?
In Chicago?

How about people that don't know where the hell they're going so they do half the speed limit on a one lane road so they can slowly read every damn side street sign twice before missing the turn? I'm glad I only live 2 miles down such a road off the interstate but the speed limit is 45 and you get morons doing 25 and gawking at the street signs the whole way.
