People who don't go immediately when the left hand turn light turns green. Has to be a specific traffic light pattern where the left hand turn is only available when you get the green arrow (no blinking red/yellow) and that green arrow only shows up for a few seconds before your road gets the full green light. Even a second delay there is the difference between 2 or 3 cars at the end of the line needing to wait an entire traffic light cycle to try again. |

Sounds like they need to set the counter out there to see how much volume of traffic flows there and then reset the timers to ensure that the flow is adequate even during peak volume. Can always suggest the city to check it out.

additions to my pet peeve:
1) When I'm playing on the arena server, during the knife only battle, I'm on the knife level and I get killed, making me stuck in the grenade level. I have deep seeded feeling because of this. (red...)
2) Creepers (minecraft)

My driving pet peeve would be when driving on the interstate and there's construction causing one lane to be closed.. people who stay in the lane that will be closing, even after seeing the signs. They try to get farther ahead before traffic gets backed up.. but if they would only change lanes when they see the signs, the traffic flow through the construction would be more smooth and the congestion could be avoided in the first place.
Or if traffic is backed up anyways for whatever reason and people try to pass on the shoulder.

It actually does adjust throughout the day and also will not even come on if it doesn't detect a vehicle by a certain point...
Which also happens to be another one of my pet peeves. |

Well now, that's not very nice.
My biggest ones are probably what Xero posted about people walking slow, and what Johnnie said about the construction. Also when people don't tuck in their chairs after they are done sitting on them. |

I'm too far down south and/or young to understand the importance of jam.....

I can have road rage sometimes...for good reason, though.
About 20 years ago they were just HANDING OUT licenses around here, no test, no nothing. Lots of asshole drivers... I hate when people feel the need to cut in front of you when there's only one car length of space in front and no cars behind you...and then proceed to drive like a jackass...no turn signal, etc. I mean REALLY, is it that hard to move your finger half an inch to put on the blinker?
That and I hate when people use the word "like" excessively. I tend to get distracted from what the person is actually saying and end up counting how many times they say like..

"In jelly, the fruit comes in the form of fruit juice.
In jam, the fruit comes in the form of fruit pulp or crushed fruit (and is less stiff than jelly as a result)"
