What gets your goat?

Is it bad manners? Noisy (or nosey) neighbours? Crude dress? Expensive groceries? Rainy days? I know this isn't an overly positive toipc, but as is life, we're only human and sometimes things just tick us off...

The P platers are getting a hammering but like any part of the motoring public there are good and bad P platers. Trouble is the bad ones get noticed more. P platers should be restricted to a 4 cylinder, maximum 1500cc car. Instead I see so many driving cars too powerful for their level of expertise. All new drivers should be made to attend a driving school instead of learning bad habits from their parents because not all of them are good drivers either. A simple thing such as holding the steering wheel in the ideal position of 10am & 2pm (on an analogue clock face) gives you better control of the car in the event of a tyre blow out for example, yet I see so many drivers cruising along, 1 hand on the wheel and it's often the left hand but for some reason holding the wheel on the right. The other annoying thing are the use of merging lanes. A lot won't merge when there is plenty of time to do so, they insist on driving right up to the end of the merging lane and just have to get in front of that other car at all costs.
