The list is endless but my Mrs would probably tell you it's 99% of other motorists.
The current standard of driving is appalling....and that's all age groups...no exemptions.
What boils my pee is when someone does something stupid when they're driving and you blow your horn to let them know that they've nearly caused an accident they go mad shouting and verbally abusing you as if it was your fault. Some people just automatically attack you no matter if they're on the wrong

People who struggle with the concept of a mini roundabout. It's not rocket science.
 
I despise litter of any kind or circumstance, but despair that some are so bone idle they can't keep a bit of gum in their mouth for a little while longer.
That's bad enough but to see the ground spattered when the person was stood next to a bin ???
 
And those that answer a question with [ yeh no ]
I use this as an example, but anyone starting a sentence with 'And or But' should be shot 'cos it's just wrong :angel: or anyone indicating on a bend . . . . e.g. those turning right at The Grange traffic lights in Sunderland going to Thompson Road when they're in the lane that only goes right (there are loads of examples of that) <doh>
Another annoyance is people who sit at junctions (especially when it's dark) with their foot on the brake pedal, which obviously dazzles anybody behind (brake lights are 7 times as bright as side lights, apparently) . . . . as if they've never been behind an idiot who does this (so they must know) !
Changing headlights to beam sometimes works, but it also spreads the glare to make it less uncomfortable :emoticon-0148-yes:

Too be fair, there's hardly any bins or toilets when your out and about on walks.

Find that really annoying when your walking the dog and you've got to carry a big bag of steaming **** because there's no bins about.
 
Drivers with their cruise control set at 70 and driving in the centre lane mile after bloody mile on the motorway.
Which reminds me we're off to Devon in May....deep joy!!!
Whenever I hear mention of cruise control I'm always reminded of the guy who sued Winnebago because they weren't explicit that cruise control does not drive the vehicle. He crashed after he drove his motorhome onto a highway, set cruise control, then got up and went in the back to make coffee <doh>

 
Cyclists on mountain bikes riding through the park when I'm out walking the dogs. Expect me to move onto grass so they can stay on footpath. It is a shared footpath but they have big chunky tyres on and its a mountain bike by name. Just go onto the grass for 10 yards it wont hurt ya bike or tyres.

Gum’s a strange one, I think there is far less on the pavements now than there used to be, are people tidier or has gum just gone out of fashion?

I find it strange because I never see anyone buying it , and see someone chewing only in a blue moon. One change I've noticed is the amount on pavements outside of various Greggs that are covered
