Driving in Northern Virginia is a fast way to get hyper-tension

A few things that piss me off about driving in Northern Virginia:

1) The parking spaces that are so small that they make my Civic coupe feel like a tuna boat when trying to pull into them. (God help you if you are driving a SUV or truck) And every year they get painted smaller to make more parking spaces.
2) The drivers who cut you off, then flick you off for no reason.
3) The road raging, predominantly white men, who act like psychopaths for no good reason. I can say with certainty that if I am ever driving with Rachel and one of these guys not only rages at her, but gets out of his oversized AssholeMobile, and comes at us, I will throw him head first through his windshield.
4) People who slow down to a crawl in "slight turn" lanes. You know what I am talking about. Those turn lanes that are so lazy in how they turn, that you shouldn't have to drop down more than 5mph-10mph, or not change speed at all, in order to smoothly drive around. Nothing short of a big rig should have to slow down for these in normal weather...
5) People who drive in the middle of a busy parking lot.
6) Pedestrians who walk together in such a way that they effectively block an entire lane in a parking lot, and don't move when they realize that lo and behold... THERE IS A CAR BEHIND THEM! In a world that actually believes in natural selection these people would have a simple Common Law designation: Human Bowling Pins!
7) Parents who think it is cute and acceptable for their children to play in the street in their apartment complex. Nothing says hyper-tension after work like having to wait a few extra minutes to get to your parking space because you have a bunch of lazy-brained school kids making you zig-zag like a rabbit in your car through your apartment complex.
8) People who make no attempt to gauge how fast oncoming traffic is when they pull out. Double the aggrivation when they are crossing from a shopping center, across one multi-lane road, to the other side where they are trying to merge into oncoming traffic.
9) People who make terribly stupid, and highly illegal decisions while driving like turning illegally into oncoming traffic, merging into another lane in heavy traffic without looking, flying through a red light because the traffic that has the right-of-way hasn't started moving yet. It only "gets better" when they cause multiple car pileups or flick off every driver who has the right-of-way.
10) People who merge into a turn lane, then fly off back into traffic at the last minute. Nothing will add a little spice and flair to your driving experience like having a woman, talking on her cell phone, while intermittently screaming at her kids, jam her huge SUV back out into traffic half a car length in front of you.

I think the best experience that Rachel, and I have had so far between the two of us was when she was sitting on the side of the road, waiting to pull out of Tyson's I mall, and a whole family flicked her off. Nothing says good breeding like having the wee ones jam their middle fingers up in the air while mommy dearest shows them how's it done right.
