I wish to contribute to this thread.
So I was driving home today and I always get stuck at this one particular intersection about 4 blocks from my house because the idiot in front of me will never be pulled up quite far enough to let me squeeze into the turn lane. So today, as expected, this happens. The minivan in front of me is about 2 feet too far back to allow me to get into the turn lane without hitting the concrete median. So I sit there, upset because there is obviously enough room between him and the next car to just scoot up some and let me pass. The light turns green, and this minivan asshat ends up not going straight in his lane, but merging over to turn left in the turn lane! He could have moved into that lane at ANY time during that red light and allowed me and the car behind me to be in that lane the whole time. Instead, he decides he wants to turn and makes us all miss the light again. I hate people.
Also I have a very hard time understanding how a 4-way stop can be such a mentally exhausting situation for so many people. I want to punch babies every time 4 cars pull up and none of them understand how to fucking get through it.
They do that here all the fucking time. Also, we have sensors in some of our lights that don't trip unless you pull all the way up to the line, and you'll sit there forever behind some dumb ass who won't pull all the way up.
People here also do this weird thing where you'll be coming up behind them, and you're doing like 10 mph more than they are, but as soon as they realized they're being passed, they speed up. I've never seen that anywhere else I've ever lived. It's border-line psychotic. I usually have the cruise control on, so I know I'm not imagining shit.
