Sounds like someone's watching Big Bang Theory! 
Nope, "Bones," actually (which if I recall correctly you're not a particular fan of). Big Bang Theory generally attempts to be funny when they poorly portray smart people. But in this case, Bones was attempting to be dead serious, which made it all the worse. It was the episode where Booth and Bones were investigating a murder of a fancy-to-do scientist at a think tank. The scientists there acted as if emotions are infectious diseases.
As for today's frustration, Texas Drivers. Now you might think the drivers where you live are bad, and perhaps they are, but Texas Drivers are short-bus special. Consider the following examples:
1) About once a month I will see someone attempt to make a left turn at a lighted intersection. They have a green arrow to turn, and so they start to turn left. Halfway into the turn they see the traffic light for the perpendicular traffic. Because Traffic lights tend to attempt to avoid having conflicting flows of traffic going at once, such a light will always be red. Halfway into the turn such individuals will thus stop, in the middle of the intersection, and wait for this other light to turn green. Doesn't matter that other cars are honking at them, or that sane individuals are going around them to successfully turn left. They just sit there.
2) Also about once a month I will see someone run a red light. This isn't a "oh I didn't see it" sort of thing, or a "I couldn't stop in time sort of thing." No, the driver will come to a dead stop, wait several minutes, and then run the red light. But that is actually when the individual is being good. When the individual is being particularly bad, they will pull out into oncoming traffic in order to bypass all the individuals stopped ahead of them, just to then run the red light.
3) Texas Drivers have no problem cutting across three lanes of traffic abruptly because they have almost missed their exit on the highways. But again, that is just when they are being good. When they are being bad, Texas Drivers will stop on the freeway and back up because they missed their exit.
