This is kinda hard to describe w/o a drawing. Coming home getting off the interstate it spreads into 3 lanes. One is a left turn only, the other 2 are right turn only with the outer lane being a keep moving lane. It is a red light there. The center lane that I almost always take because the outer lane runs out and it hard to get over most times. The center lane turning right on red it never fails, someone pulls up in the outer lane and stops waiting to turn right. Then they expect to just go straight into my lane. Well when there is a clearing I have the right to go so we both go at the same time and they act like I'm in the wrong cutting them off! This happens all the time and I've almost been hit several times because of this. And most times they are not only trying to get to my lane but cross over to a left turning lane that starts right there. It's so stupid, they need to be in my lane to get across. But I am very attentive since I know this happens all the time and tend to just fall back and let them over since they usually are pulled a little ahead due to the lanes layout.

So today same thing happens sort of. This young girl and her punk a$$ looking passenger, looked like a teen all "bro" looking with the seat leaned so far back that he's looking out the rear door side window. Anyway they rode my a$$ all the way down the interstate then when on the exit ramp jump beside me as described above and come to stop at the light in the "keep moving" lane and expect to jump over in front of me. I'm guessing they're thinking I can't turn on red. But this time they actually for whatever reason stop kinda back with their front bumper about at the middle of my rear door. So I get the clearing and we both take off. then she has to hit the brakes to fall behind me. I watch in my rear view as the passenger looks at my truck the whole time like I've done them wrong! Then they go into the turning lane on my left and come up beside me as that light turns red so they pull up right beside me. I told my wife we're about to go at it. To my surprise he never said a word but just glared at me and I just looked at him as if to say "got a problem?" I just knew buy his punk look he was going to start sh*t with me. Fortunately the light turned green and we went on w/o incident. But one day something is going to go down at that intersection because of this. Anyone have an intersection with the same issue? I mean if people would just anticipate the correct lane and drive with some since this wouldn't happen, but I guess everybody is just too damn impatient.

 

Another story from today also. We ate at 5 guys and when pulling in the parking lot, this lot is very tight btw. A guy was backing out of a parking spot as 2 cars were passing from his left. He saw the first one and then proceeded to barrel out of the spot almost hitting the second one. Came to a stop and the car went on by while he threw his hands in the air cussing and carrying on. I mean dude you almost hit them and were trying to back out way too fast. And he was cussing them. Me and my wife just sat and watched as we had to wait since he was blocking our path and were like WTF?

 

if i was by myself then an ass whooping would've happened, but if i have my family with me i would try my best to calm down and walk away.

 

I was trying to keep my cool since my wife was with me and she is pregnant also. But more so because they looked young, like maybe under 18, so if it had escalated I honestly can't say what I'd have done. But I still had to at least give him the look though. I wasn't about to let some punk a## kid stare me like that w/o at least giving him a stare down.

 

Didn't notice that, gotta start venting about that.

 

I guess because the OP is one of our boys

 

This is precisely why I live in New England...The only reason I lock my doors is to prevent someone from leaving bags of extra large zucchini in my truck! I feel for you Westcoasties!

 

I got another, why can't people put the damn shopping carts in the cart return racks? Seems every time I luck up and get a prime parking spot when I pull in there's at least 1 if not several shopping carts in the way and if not in the spot there sitting where I'm afraid to park for them possibly rolling into my truck. I can't tell you how many times I wind up pushing 1 or 2 into the store as I go inside to keep it away from my truck.

 

THE POST OFFICE STOLE MY POLY JACK HANDLE MOUNT, and replaced it with 2 pieces of cardboard. The package is all ripped up and retapped and bagged in a USPS bad that saids package is damage which is clearly ripped in half! WTF.

 

What's with fast food places not giving you any sauce when you go through the drivethru? Everytime I go to a fast food restaurant I have to ask for ketchup/BBQ sauce. They used to just put some in the bag but not anymore for some reason. They also won't ask if you want any, YOU have to ask. McDonalds actually has a "sauce policy" and makes you pay for additional sauces if you ask for more than what's included in the "policy". How expensive can the sauce be that you have to regulate it so strictly? Maybe it's a regional thing or something but it pisses me off when I leave the place, get to work, and open the bag to find no ketchup/BBQ sauce.

Not that it will make you feel better-But they cost about 4 cents each...and MickeyDs serves about 4.2 million burgers a day....So if every bag came with 3 burgers in it- That is 1.4 million bags. If you throw 5 packets in a bag- That is $280,000 in Heinz a day...

But I agree with you about the not asking part...There are lots of highly skilled professionals in the world that we could not do without...but the folks at the drive up window can't be helpful or get the right stuff into my bag on a regular basis....I try to not be stuck up about it-but it doesn't work.
