I've bitched about how the houston highways do this ass-backwards lane merges - two highways come together and the inside two lane just become one, with neither lane being the primary lane, so drivers really have to be aware of what's on the other highway in order to merge without dying.
Well I'm getting off 45 south and onto 610 east coming up on this merge, and as a careful driver I like to be aware of my surroundings so I look over onto the 610 lanes and see this jeep in the inside lane - he's a ways back, though, and I'm practically at the merge. Oh wait, he's going 90, and he catches up with me just at the point where the two lanes become one lane, so I've got to swerve (not quite a swerve, but a very fast lane change) over to the next lane to avoid this asshole's jeep getting stuck in my trunk.
I hit the horn at him, but that just made me wish my horn wasn't so weak - maybe I should get a new one.
