People to Punch, Pet Peeves, and General Vexations (mega-merge)

Is it me getting older (probably), or are people acting more and more like entitled turd-squishers?
"I'm in an exit only lane, and it's well past the point where I can safely change lanes. But I don't want to exit here. I better dangerously move over a couple of lanes to avoid a little minor inconvenience."
"Yeah, I know this is a left-turn only lane, but I want to turn right. YOLO!!!"
"I'm coming up to a red light, and I want to turn right. I should just make a continuous turn, and as I turn, I'll check to see if someone is coming. If so, I'll consider if I need to stop. Otherwise, I'm going."
And that's just a few things I got to see so far today.
 
When you are starting a four hour webinar and the intro presenters, who are the people who organized it, are allotted 20 minutes for their kickoff presentation but go nearly double that. UGHHHHH!!!!!

Update - It has not gotten better. I'm feeling like half the presenters have never done a webinar presentation before. And they are not old either.

Back seat "fixers". Whenever my wife asks me to do some little project for her she's always right behind me telling me how to do every little thing. I just programmed new garage door openers. She asked me to help her but was butting in every two seconds to tell me what to do. She insisted that I had to remove the cover from the wall mounted opener when it was obviously wrong. I took it off of the wall, told her to give me 5 minutes, I'm going to watch a video. I Googled it, was half way through the video when I received a text from her for another video. She then came out and asked if I was watching her video. I told her no, I'm already watching this one. She started going on about how I should watch the video that she sent because it was from the Genie site. I finished my video and got them both programmed under a minute even though I had to start over twice with the second one because she kept double checking that I did the first one correctly. In 30 years I've never raised my voice at her but today I came awfully close.

Had to laugh at this. My wife was cleaning the windows last weekend and I was going to help her pull the top ones down and open them in. She proceeded to tell me that the bottom window had to be shut according to the instructions to open the top one in. Responded that the bottom window had to be opened in for the top one to come down and open in. I showed her it was physically impossible to do what the instructions she found on the internet said. But the instructions say this is how it works. I said okay and went outside to do something else. Low and behold I see her do exactly what I said a little later.
