People who creep up to a light or the car in front of them at a red light. Just fricken pull up to the light or car and stop. Do you really need to continue to creep up, stop then creep up some more until the light changes? Do you really need to amuse yourself and can't sit still for 30 seconds?

I'll also add the fine Calgary tradition of leaving two car lengths between cars at lights, particularly when someone behind vneeds a few inches to get into a turning lane. I swear that we could reduce traffic jams by a sizable margin if people would leave only a sensible amount of space between cars.
And green light strugglers that can't seem to hit the gas when the light turns green. We all knew it was going to happen - there's no need to be caught off guard when the light changes. More people can get through the light, which means that everyone can get home faster.

Why would I gun it as soon as the light turns green? I have seen enough cars run red lights to know to wait a second and make sure no knob is going to t-bone me.
Yeah. I especially like the people who are too busy doing everything else in their car that's more important apparently than watching for the light. The ones that we see a flashing green arrow finally come, blink 10 times before the first car notices, they get through and no one else does. I just want to punch those people in the face.

I wish we had the flashing yellow/amber system that is in place in Europe. The yellow starts to flash to indicate that the signal will be changing from red to green.

No need to gun it, but even cars later in the line seem to sit there and collect their thoughts before stepping on the gas.
Obviously a good habit to have is to look both ways on every green as well.

Please...for the love of God, PLEASE make App guidelines that make it super obvious how to download photos to your iOS device. The scourge of screenshots of images on people's browsers or in apps is horrific and the internet will likely implode in awful quality images with huge black borders on the top and bottom if we don't take corrective action NOW.
Love,

I have almost zero tolerance - the three second rule. If the light turns green and you aren't moving within three seconds, the horn goes.
Had a real bad one yesterday coming off Crowchild on to that weird double turn area to get on to 17 Ave. Waited three seconds, decent honk. Then ANOTHER three seconds. After that they got the 'continuous honk until you start moving' which got them going. Never had to get that far before.

And do something about vertical video while you're at it, Apple.

I'm not looking forward to the day when some world shaking major event/disaster happens and the only video evidence of it is some shaky vertical video taken on an iPhone 5.
Working as job where the boss refuses to give up control and does most of the work himself (complaining all the while about how busy he is), while the rest of the employees (including myself) sit around with our thumbs up our a## with nothing to do other than try to kill time all day.
Always thought I would like a job where I could do nothing and surf. Man, was I wrong. I swear the clock goes backward some days.
