Get in the damn turn lane

It really really bothers me when people ease their way into the turn lane. Hello, it is there for you to get all four tires into so you don't block traffic behind you while you wait to make a turn. Don't just mosey over there and then leave part of your car in the other lane only to block everyone behind. Get your ass in gear and get your car over there. It is there for a reason. And what irks me even more is when you start braking A LOT before you are even in it, especially those turn lanes that are practically a mile long. You WILL have plenty of time to break once you are over there so please just wait those few extra seconds before practically slamming on your brakes.

Pedestrians and sidewalks

Why do some joggers find it necessary to jog on the road when there is perfectly good sidewalk to use? I know that I will get some flack for this one, but really people. Would you rather get hit by a car than use the sidewalk? I totally get that you have to run on the road when there is no sidewalk, but when there is one, use it. It really bothers me that I have to look out for you when there is a specific area (ie sidewalk) for you to use. What gets me even more is when you decide to not only run on the street, but run "in" the street. Can't you at least stick close to the side of the road and not be in the middle of the lane? My advice is if there is a sidewalk use it.
