Who annoys you the most... on the road

I try to enjoy my car on holidays and weekends and sometimes on my way to work, without being a complete *** on the road. I don't tail-gate (mostly because I don't want a big fat rock chip on my car), I don't cut people off, I always signal and I don't rev like I used to in my 20s (To be honest, I don't even know how to rev in my PDK).
Even with myself behaving as best as I have ever been, I get at least one idiot on 8 out of 10 drives, who wants to "race" I guess... They tail-gate, bolt off on traffic lights, speed match next to my car on a highway etc. The most annoying ones are the tail-gaters. Most of the time, the idiots are usually in Dodge Chargers/Challenger, some Dodge R/T SUVs, Mustangs, and Audi S3s and TTs, although, to break up the stereotype that I'm undoubtedly creating, I've had Toyota Rev4 and Civic with a red badge try to kiss my rear end with their front bumpers.
When I take the car out, I try to enjoy my drives but also finding myself practicing breathing techniques to keep calm.
It's my first Porsche so please share your experiences.

You have a cool car in a cool color, so it's no surprise people want to race.
Things that bother me, aggressive drivers (weaving in and out of traffic with no regard for others safety), texting, tail gating, left lane hogs, but above all else people drinking and driving.
I've realized that if I want to get out on a drive, I will drive as far away from populated areas as possible, find a good backroad, preferably on a weekday (take a day off work) or early on a weekend morning and just drive without people around.

Texting while driving is my pet peeve!

Burning Brakes

Drivers that stick obsessively 10km/hr below to crazy low and irrational speed limits that change without rhyme nor reason every half mile ...

They come up to you out of nowhere. They try to fit in the tiniest crevice of an opening without signal. Their car is only a few feet from the car in front of them despite going 70 +. They are constantly having to step on their brakes. One tiniest of a fraction mistake and you would have a pileup. So dangerous.

People who don’t indicate, especially here in the UK. Lots of roundabouts, just tell me you are turning off or going round, it’s very easy!
Tail gating, just why even bother!
Also UK, motorway (freeway) drivers who try overtaking at the SAME SPEED AS THE CAR NEXT TO THEM! Your both doing 61mph, why, just let the 15 cars behind pass you then play your little game.
Indicisiveness .... it’s just dangerous!
Drink drivers.... just don’t!
Lastly, cyclists.... lunatics that think that little helmet and Lycra will protect you from my 1.5-2 tons of steel, it won’t, you die, show some road manners!

Literally people who ride my ***. Anyone and everyone that does this, especially when I have someone in front of me and I can’t go anywhere. Also, people who get in front of me when there isn’t room in front of me. Pretty much all people. My default setting for anyone not friends/family/coworkers is I don’t like you.
In PDK cars, grabbing both paddles simultaneously disengages the gearbox and you can rev the engine by the way....

Any Prius driver... left lane, off-ramp, on-ramp. They take any joy out of driving if you are stuck behind one.
