Or, just wait your damn turn and not try to leapfrog people in front of you by passing on the right?

You suck at life.

If you want to waste your time, go ahead, but don't force your ideals on others.

lol...

a lot of us suck at life, reason why we're writin' on off topic? j/k

Op, my friend sez you're very artistic. we're sittin' here watchin' cartoon network, it's annoying as hell, I'm not even payin' attention.

happens in minneota, but not as often. but I will tell you one thing, you're never truly safe on the highway during rush hour traffic. almost all the time I see two or three cars pulled off to the side, people standing by their vehicles, frustrated that they hit someone or someone hit them. then get slowed down even more when the cops have to bust through all the traffic, all these cars starin' at the minor accident and movin' aside for the cop to report the accident... at the same time, cars gettin' off the exit ramp and back onto the freeway just to get 5-10 cars ahead, stupid.

My biggest non-highway related driving peeve is when people gun a left turn as soon as the light turns green. In Chicago there is rarely a turn arrow for the left turn lane. You generally have to wait until the light turns red before you can turn left. People seem to think the solution to this is to gun it through the intersection, cutting everyone off, the instant the light is green.

To be fair, it seems like going on a green light > going on a red light. But I know in those situations, the rules must be bent in order to advance.

You know what I forgot? A friend of mine told me a story about this kind of thing happening to him. It was the fly up the left lane before the merge and force your way into a stopped line of traffic at the end one, not the off ramp on ramp shortcut from OP. He said he was at the end where the lane is gone, stopped. He's in his chevy aveo and in his mirror he sees this guy zip out with a porsche (odd, since in my experience porsche's are all driven like grandmas are behind the wheel) and he knows exactly what the guy is doing.

The guy gets to the end and stops with his blinker on, trying to crowd his way into the lane. My friend rolls down his window and says to the guy "I'm not letting you in!"

Ok, its not that funny really. I just found it amusing that he actually went to the trouble to roll down his window and inform the guy exactly what he was thinking. My tactic is to usually just pretend I'm this oblivious guy with tunnel vision that has no idea some one is even trying to pull that crap.
