Does that include people who don't know what you're talking about

Avanced Stop Lines. Push iron boxes.
Motors can't can't move into the box.
But if you you sat in the Que and the lights change your not allowed to go past the second line.
Tapping on my window, spamming off "car's ain't allowed 'ear". Just shows that lycra lout cyclists don't know what they're doing.

I bet there was still space for them to park their bikes.. I wonder which part of sharing the road people dont understand? It does work both ways

I straight-line roundabouts, but only after I've checked that there's nobody on my right using the other lane. I also use my indicators, but that seems to be going out of fashion - which is my gripe for today.

People who don't bother to indicate so I have no idea whether I can enter the roundabout safely.

Similar to people who decide to leave a motorway at the last minute from the fast lane cutting across two lanes of 70mph traffic to just make it into the exit missing the barrier at the last second and causing two lanes to slam brakes on as they cut them up. Usually not indicating either.
