Seriously.
One of my biggest pet peeves is when people either forget or (the more likely thing in my rage-filled mind) outright refuse to use their turn signals. And then you get dirty looks when they have to swerve back into their lane because you're not a goddamn mind-reader. My apologies!
Oh, speaking of swerving? Those people who drift. You know the ones. Either they change lanes horrendously slowly (usually without signal, of course), or decide that staying in their lane isn't good enough and decide to start straddling two.
Then there's folks who decide that they're above the law and use turn lanes and even the pull-off lanes/curbs as if they're normal lanes. I literally had a dude cut around me at a light that JUST TURNED GREEN once by jumping into the left-turn-only lane.
And that's not even getting into unnecessarily slow drivers, tailgating, and idiots on their cellphones. I swear. I wonder at times why there always seems to be accidents on the road, then I remember all the nitwits I've seen doing stupid nonsense.
It's things like this that cause my blood pressure to go up, and my doctor wonders why my stress levels are so high. You try getting around the beltway twice a day with these idiots.
Don't even get me started when the weather gets bad. Yes, I get it, the weather is bad so we need to slow down and be more careful. Slowing down and being more careful does not mean doing 30 on the highway, its only a drizzle.
Edit: By the way, is merging a lost art? Did we like lose it at some point in our advancement as a species? How hard is it to merge from an off-ramp?
