Maybe you should like start taking the bus or something?
Bus passes are for rid ers.
We went to the cemetery for All Souls’ Day. Someone parked in the lane just opposite another parked car so I couldn’t get through. I had to back up and take another lane.

Lucky you got out. Most people end up being stuck there forever.

This happened again today, and it’s among the driving mistakes I find most annoying. You are endangering yourself, the people in the right lane on the highway, and the people behind you trying to merge as well.
Today’s edition: I had 3 cars in front of me on the on ramp. I see a dumbshit in front driving slowly with the other 2 on his ass. I had enough room, so I stayed way back to watch the shitshow. Speed limit was 70, and there was a wide load tractor trailer hauling heavy equipment in the right lane with cars keeping him there in the lane to his left. Dumbshit merges at maybe 45mph directly in front off the truck, and the trucker lays on the horn and gets pretty close to nailing his guy. Hopefully he needed a change of drawers after that maneuver. Poor bastard behind him has no where to go and is forced to drive in the emergency lane. Car 3 slams on the breaks and squeezes in behind the truck. I flash my brights to signal car 2 that I’m letting him back into the travel lane.

Yesterday I had another annoyed thought on the highway. I’m driving in the left lane in congested stop and go traffic. I’ve got a tractor trailer behind me. I hear a weird noise behind me at some point, and notice it’s the truck behind me hitting the rumble strip as he’s driving in the left emergency lane because he can’t stop in time without hitting me. I did not stop quickly. There was no reason for that other than distracted driving IMO.
I’m stopped at a railway crossing, along with a bunch of other cars. Buddy behind me bumps me. Barely a scratch on either vehice, but we exchange phone numbers anyway. WTF, buddy??? 
Isn’t there another thread for this?

I’m driving down the road when I see buddy backing out of his driveway. Now he’s going faster than I think necessary: good thing I stopped, ‘cuz 
wasn’t gonna stop!!! He finally stops about 2 feet over his curb!!! I had to go around his dumb !! 
if a car is parked at the curb next to my driveway, i won’t see what’s coming until my back up camera picks them up.
No car parked on the side, just some snow on the grass. 
for 
probably didn’t even look!!! 
I emailed both the state DOT and the county road department, letting them know that this was both stupid and dangerous and that they needed to take those signs down.
No longer annoyed thought: the signs are gone! The DOT engineer did reply saying they had no jurisdiction and it was on the county. County guy never replied, but somebody took them down.

To me, the big logical issue is that if you yield to let cars in, no one can get out!
That’s like when people let others into an elevator before first letting people out of the elevator.
It sounds very Arc-de-Triomphy
Went to visit my DD and SIL in Albuquerque and there is a 3 way roundabout, at T-intersection they made into a roundabout. There is a stop sign from the non-straight through road. I almost got in an accident when I was just about to enter the roundabout and saw the stop sign. Freaked me out and I hit the breaks and saw a car coming from my right which had I not stopped I would have easily beat through but now wasn’t sure I would be ahead of it and as I’m going I realize he probably doesn’t have a yield sign if I have a stop so I take my foot off the gas and realize I’m too far in to stop now so now I gun it and zip through just ahead of him.
I was probably the “other driver” this thread is about on that one. I’m really sorry. I’m just not used to a stop sign at a roundabout and while I often roll through stop signs I do slow down enough that it wouldn’t throw anyone around if I had to come up short at the stop sign.
I was driving home on the interstate last night around 12:30 though a dark section of road. This is a major interstate with 3 lanes each direction. Very little traffic. I’m in the middle lane going 10mph over the limit. I look in the rear view mirror (like I periodically do to be aware of my surroundings) and see nothing noteworthy, some headlights in the distance. Then ZOOOOM a car passes me on the left like I’m not moving….ZOOOM a car passes me going about he same crazy speed on my right….ZOOOM a 3rd car passes me on the left. All 3 cars had zero lights on, no headlights, no daytime running lights, nada. They were completely invisible other than when they passed through the light of my headlights. Scared the crap out of me. I’m so glad I didn’t happen to change lanes around then.
Did they look like this?

I saw a PURPLE wankpanzer on the road today!!! 
There was a transit bus stopped just shy of a green light and behind it was a school bus, then yours truly. School bus goes into the left turn lane and goes around the bus to make a right: annoying, but not completely stoopid. It was the idjit in the pickup truuuuuuck who went around me into the left turn lane and screamed through the intersection in front of the transit bus - AS THE LIGHT WAS TURNING RED!!!
He was clearly in the fast lane
