Fast cyclists who you don't hear coming up behind you who just pass you in zooming close proximity without saying anything or giving you warning that they are coming up behind you on the road. They give me a heart attack, they're lucky I don't swerve for some reason right as they are passing since I don't know they're there, and I just think it's pretty rude not to let people know you are coming up behind them and are about to pass you fast. Is it too much trouble to call out "Good morning!" as you are approaching behind someone?

Trucks that go by and suddenly accelerate really hard as they are passing you. Um, you are driving a vehicle with a 300 horsepower engine. I am pedaling with my legs. Of course you are going to go faster than me. And no, it doesn't make you cool. Neither does honking at me or flipping me off. And no, it's not going to make me change my mind about riding on the road. Yes, bikes belong on the road. See that bike lane? It's for bikes. It's on the road. The city put it there, and I don't think they would have done so if it were illegal for bikes to be on the road. Understand?
The best part about going up hills is riding back down!
