Is there anything more irritating, and is there anything that puts stupidity on display as openly?

I'm suffering from a 9/10 butthurt right now. Rush hour traffic. I finally make it to the front of the pack at the red light. It turns green, but I can't go anywhere because some soccer mom tried to squeeze under the yellow light of the intersecting street and got stuck. She's making me this face and gestures like "What can I do? This was completely unavoidable!"

I dunno. You coulda like... stopped and waited until there was room for your minivan - and all of the stupidity it's carrying - before moving forward. Dumb. Bitch. It's times like these where I like to imagine my vehicle is armed with a front-facing rocket launcher, James Bond style. I just push a red button, watch her car explode, and drive on through.

I know. I know. Dear Facebook.

In the town where I live, that kind of thing is pretty much the norm.

Box blockers are some of the most selfish and idiotic drivers there are. In many areas this is illegal. I was cops would ticket those on College drive

Agreed. This is something that people should actually be ticketed for. But they'd rather give me a speeding ticket for going 75 in a 65 with nobody on the road but me and a dead armadillo.

I don't imagine you like the people that go 10 mph under the speed limit and speed up at the last second of a yellow light leaving you stuck at the red light as if they cared about getting anywhere fast.

I deal with them by laying on the horn and cussing them out in front of their children.

It's one thing if someone goes when there is obvious traffic sticking out into the intersection.

But sometimes you are just following the flow of cars in front of you and the traffic stops and you're stuck in the middle of the intersection and there was no way you could have foreseen that the flow was going to stop and leave you in the middle of the intersection.

Never enter an intersection until you can clear it.
