What gets your goat?

Is it bad manners? Noisy (or nosey) neighbours? Crude dress? Expensive groceries? Rainy days? I know this isn't an overly positive toipc, but as is life, we're only human and sometimes things just tick us off...

In Australia we begin to learn on L plates ( L plates are displayed on the front and rear of the car) L platers must drive supervised by a full licensed driver for 120 hours. Which needs to be logged into a diary. A written exam on road rules is all they need to do to get their L's. Then they do a driving test and if they pass they get their P's which is also displayed on the car and they can drive unsupervised.
My daughter is quite a good little driver but after just 120 hours she is not perfect. She does however get very flustered when people see the P plates, presume she doesn't know what she is doing and start blasting horns and tailgating her.
It's easy to say P platers don't know how to drive because quite frankly they really are not experts, and I often think the people that have been driving for years and are trying to get her off the road and out of they way are the ones that cannot drive.
A small amount of patience and understanding would go a long way.
