Daily parade of a**holes

[Catwoman2965]

It never ceases to amaze me the idiocy I see on a daily basis, on my way to work. Most of my commute is on a 2-3 lane divided county highway, complete with traffic lights. Many times, its 3 lanes, through the light, and then merges down to 2.

One in particular, the right lane merges but its a long merge. So you get people in the center lane, and those in the right, zooming ahead, and then cutting over into the center lane when the right one ends. Sometimes traffic crawls, sometimes not, and the right lane is fairly empty. It really all depends.

so today I'm in the center lane, and there's no one in the right, oh wait, just as its about to end, i see the car behind me speed up, and zoom into the right lane, which is ending in like 20 feet, presumably to get ahead of me! Its also downhill, and traffic usually comes to a pretty abrupt stop after the merge, due to volume.

So I see him do this, and am like, um buddy, no way you can get up enough speed in the lane you have left, and get ahead of me. And he didn't. HA. had to get back behind me. The funny thing is, had he managed to get in front of me, he would have been stuck in the same line of traffic I was, so really no point to getting ahead of me, except I don't hug the bumper of the car in front of me.

Well yeah -- He would have been FIRST in the lineup at the stoppage...and that's all that seems to matter to assholes like this.

'Ya wanna be two cars ahead at the red light, but still behind the 18-wheeler who needs extra time to get moving anyway? Be my guest, asshole. Hell, I'll even flash you the appropriate hand sign! Well, finger sign, anyway. Just the one finger.'

I hate the clowns that HAVE to be in front of you .... then slow down. Whay be in an all fired hurry that you floored it almost had a head on with someone else to cut around me then cut me off only to slow down to 10 under the speed limit?

Had something like this happen to me a couple of weeks ago.

On my commute home, getting onto the toll road, and I signal to move over a lane so I can not be stuck behind a bunch of ninnies that don't want to go at regular speed.

As I'm signalling, waiting for the car immediately to my left to clear out, I see this asshole come zooming up in that lane, clearly wanting to get ahead of me before I could move over.

He wasn't fast enough. I moved over, and he immediately backed off, and stayed back and strangely, never moved to try to get around me after we were through the toll plaza and traffic opened up a bit.
