I agree with the cell phone thing, but even worse are those who walk around with the Bluetooth things attached to their ears, so they look like some derelict walking around having a loud conversation with himself.
And, I agree with the merge lanes on the busy highways. I drove the NJ turnpike, I-80, I-78, and GSP at busy rush hours. Trust me, Northern Virginia roads are worse! (Not that I'm trying to one-up ya or anything [;)] ) People go to get on the highway and then panic when they hit the top of the entrance ramp, stop, and try to cut into traffic right away, like, OMG, another opening will never come along if I don't get over NOW! I found it goes a lot faster if you just (like others said here), get up to cruising speed and cut into the traffic that is starting to break up at the END of the merge lane! It all goes so much more smoothly that way! Sometimes I even cut around them, sitting there with their turn signal flashing, and I'm on the highway and moving, while they're still sitting there, hoping someone will let them in. Morons.
