I saw two idiot drivers in the last 5 minutes of my ~50 minute commute.
1. A lady probably in her 50s in a common modern SUV is taking a right turn a little too slow. Not crawling, but mildly annoying if you're behind her and planning to go straight but are afraid to use all that extra width in the road (it's very wide there). A ~25-30 year old male in a white 2003-3007 Chevy Silverado 2500 extended cab long bed (I think) was blaring his horn and giving her the bird. I was stopped, waiting to enter that road, and witnessed the whole thing.
What a jerk! Is he too afraid to pass her in a completely safe and legal manner? Does he think he owns the road and everyone else should teleport out of existence when he shows up? What's his problem?

2. There is a triangle of roads around a field in the college campus, setup kinda like a rotary (aka roundabout) with two of its legs being one-way. One leg allows you to turn onto the other one or go straight and exit the entire demi-rotary. A lady is parked on the inbound leg and jumps out in front of me going ridiculously slow.

Then she continues straight out of the demi-rotary to the same parking lot where I'm going and looks like she's going to park, but she flies through a double row of parking spaces and almost hits me.
