1st was one who crossed a green light in slow moving traffic but then stopped at the repeator light which was now red...let some pedestrians cross (which I could almost understand) and then remained firmly behind the red light...until I beeped them.
2nd was someone who stopped at a green light on a roundabout with a clear road ahead...until I beeped them.

Thats one solution darwin awards the other would be a whole lot more red light cameras (I wonder if they are as unpopular as speed cameras).
