Another is when on a bypass with a right turn at the next roundabout someone driving at 50mph (in a 70 zone) pulls into the right lane to turn right 2 miles before the bloody roundabout!!!

Anyway, as said, try to keep calm and just enjoy it. You can over take them pretty easy later on.
What's more annoying is when they do it at night and they obviously don't know what the high beam switch is for, so you can't see in front of them to overtake them!

A34 coming back from henley in arden yesterday, stupid nob decides to overtake coming the other way while its double solid white lines just as i come round the corner, admittedly i just moved far left but could have easily been worse.
Gave him some verbal in his corsa, didnt even look like a chav.
If that was bikes doing that it would be heavily frowned upon, person he overtook didnt seem at all bothered.
