2. Drivers who at a red light always stop inside of the pedestrian crossing. I see this all the time, people pretending that those lines don't even exist. I was beside this one guy yesterday going down 12th, and we hit 4-5 red lights in a row (speaking of gear grinding) and this guy was in the middle of the pedestrian crossing each and every time. And it wasn't just a foot over...he was right in the middle of it every single time.

On the flip side, what grids my gears is pedestrians who actually think its a big inconvenience when cars are in the cross walk. Don't get me wrong I always try to respect the crossing lines, and I get it when the intersections are packed down town a car halfway in does impact pedestrian traffic flow.
But the number of times I've gotten the stink eye at an intersection with just one dude crossing who has had to take one extra step around my front end if I've decided to stop hard on a yellow rather than run the light and the guy behind me is right up on me and I can't back up, or some uncontrolled intersections DT or in the belt line where you actually have to edge forward to see around the building or lamp post or something to see the traffic and figure out when you can go is ridiculous.
It in no way caused them problems, they just wanted to complain for the sake of complaining. I've got no problem if I get looks if it were to happen in a crowed intersection and hoards of peeps are now having to walk in the middle of the road, but don't whine about it if you simply have to take one step around. I guess what I'm saying is people who get Argo out of principal rather than actual inconvenience grid my gears
