I don't know what the deal was yesterday but it seemed like no one could drive.
I left my house in the morning to go pick up my friend. I pulled up to a four way intersection. I was turning left and had a red arrow.
Across the street are three lanes. One to turn left at an arrow, one to go straight at a green light, and the last lane is a right-turn only lane where you have to yield to oncoming traffic.
This means that when I have a green arrow, they have to wait to turn right.
So as I was turning left, two cars across the street were going to turn right(onto the same, two lane road I was turning onto.)
The first car that went had enough time to go and get out of my way, the second car didn't.
Not to mention that I wanted to be in right lane of the road.
The second car pulled out as I was approaching the street, TRYING to get into the lane I wanted to get in.
I had to swerve into the left lane of the road as I honked my horn at them, and they didn't even look back or take notice.

Next as I was approaching another intersection, I was going to turn right. There was a pedestrian jogging in place not on the sidewalk, but on the road.
I assumed he was going to cross in front of me, but was waiting for the light to change so he would have the right of way. That would mean that I COULD'VE turned, had he not been jogging in place ON the road.
So I had to sit there with my turn signal on, a green light in front of me until it changed, wondering what he was going to do. Then my light turned red, and the other traffic started going.
When the traffic cleared, but still had a green light, the pedestrian crossed THAT road, where he technically didn't have the right of way. Why he didn't do it when they had a RED light is beyond me.
----
Later in the day I was driving home. It was dark and rainy. I see up ahead a car on the left side in between two medians waiting to turn onto the road I was driving on(two lanes, I was in the left lane).
When I first saw them, they barely had enough time to pull out of they were going to drive in my lane, though they had enough time if they were going to pull into the right lane.
As I approached, they decided to pull out. Ok, it looked like they were going into the right lane. Cool. Then as I got even closer, quickly, they started to swerve into my lane, then decided to ride the middle line, effectively driving in both lanes.
By now I had just enough time to slam on my breaks, honk my horn for a good five seconds, and manage to come within a foot of hitting them because they were driving in BOTH lanes for at least 6 or 7 seconds. They FINALLY moved and drove off.

I think having to honk my horn twice in one day is too much.
