I just knew it!

I was leaving a parking lot and the lot exited onto a road that merges onto a main road. I was going to go straight across main road to X street. The road I was on was a left-turn only, left/straight, and a right only. I was in the left/straight lane with NO directional. I noticed an elderly woman in the car beside me in the right only lane...with no direction. And I got that FEELING, you know? The light turned green and I went and lo and behold elderly lady goes straight too, so I sped-up enough that she merged behind me and didn't hit, giving me the angry cat butt face the whole time.

Phew!

Some people can't be bothered to pay attention to which lane does what when they get to an intersection. Some people just don't care.

I see that all too often around these parts. You're in the only lane that goes straight, and then some yahoo in one of the turn-only lanes feels they can go straight as well despite being in the wrong lane.
