Some douche nearly slammed into me while driving just a minute ago.

I'm at a stop light, there's two lanes that only turn left, "green arrow" lights. I'm in the right one, this douche in a jeep is in the left. The light turns, I start turning left, taking it wide like I usually do when there's two lanes turning, to give the other guy some room...out of the corner of my eye I see the him pretty much merging right into me. He's about to clip the front of my car when I slam on the brakes and he cuts in front of me. I lay on the horn, he shoots me the finger. I shoot it back and get wicked pissed. Then he slows down to almost a stop in the road and I just blow around him.

What an ass. I can understand some people can't be bothered to pay attention, or even understand the basic functioning of 4 lane roads...but he gives me the finger when he fvcks up. That sounds about right.
 
This happened just a minute ago? You're posting while driving? Are you sure you're not the douche? 😉
 
These multiple turn lane things are pet peeves of mine. Sometimes I just lay on the horn as I go around the corner to make the other jackasses aware of my presence. If you need to end up in the outside lane, why did you get in the inside lane? :|
 
some idiot does this to me every week at least once on the way home from school. i'm beginning to think i should take the inside lane now. 😕

I arrived late to the party here. There were about 7 cars lined up in the inside lane, and NONE on the outside. I have no idea why he was in that lane if he wanted to be in mine so bad that he couldn't even be bothered to wait 3 seconds for me to go by.
 
That's why you need a 4X4 with a meat masher on the front of it so you can educate idiots like that 😉

Pretty good I'd say. . .This same thing happens to me with increasing frequency it seems like. Who the hell is handing out driver's licenses these days? Satan?

I'm sure the odds are much higher in massachusetts... I think we have the 2nd or 3rd highest car insurance here too... and for good reason.
 
Be glad your road rage didn't get the better part of you. The a hole could follow you home and gun you down.

Ok, next time some one cuts me off and gives me the finger I'll send them a fruit basket to appease them.

I saw a bumper sticker yesterday that might explain it. It said, "Horn broken - watch for finger." 🙂
