People who walk into a building and then just stop and stand in front of the door.

People who stop and chat in the grocery store, blocking the entire aisle.

People who pull out or merge into your lane right in front of you in traffic, slow down hella, and then immediately change lanes just to be first or save 0.3ms.

People with obnoxiously loud vehicles.

People.
