When I see people pussing along when turning, I always think of the Bonanza episode where they had to haul a wagon of nitro across rough country and any sudden bump would blow them all up.

I usually end up yelling something about the GD Cartwrights and the f'ing Ponderosa.

Like when you get to a stop sign slightly after the person across from you. It is clearly their right of way and I'm turning left


i look left and right for a few seconds, then look back and give them them palms up "WTF" look. if people did what they were supposed to do, traffic would flow smoothly.

when the light turns green, you don't need to establish a 3 car cushion in front of you before you move...you're going 2 mph, you can stop if needed. first guy to a 4 way has the right of way, unless the approaching car shows no sign of stopping, just go. and finally, if you are in the left lane, GTFO!!!

that is all.

Every now and then, when the stars align... the entire line takes off at the same time when the light turns green. It's like everyone was in a hurry and paying attention.

It's quite refreshing.

Going slow in the left lane is the worst. I had a guy rage on me this week when I ran up on him while he was doing 60 in a 70 in the left lane. The guy was really pissed so I gave him a thumbs up and waived bye which only angered him more.

Holy God, this.

There's a special place in hell for these drivers.

ETA: Then there's the days where you're stuck behind a ridiculous amount of cars at a stop light. Light turns green, a million cars go, light turns red, and somehow you've only moved up 3 car lengths in line.

Blows my mind every time.

It is because they dreamed their whole life of being a traffic cop. This is their big chance.
