it is nearly impossible to get me mad...nearly impossible. heres a story of how i got furious.
Theres an intersection between a fairly large street and a fairly small one and there is a stoplight, im on the small street. Because of crazy no turn signs and directions, the small street did not get a single light, but each side got its own seperate green signal. The other side went first, and they blocked up the intersection. So it went red, mine went green, and i couldnt go. But i didnt care, im a patient guy. Then my light goes red and the main thoroughfare becomes green.
Then the traffic moves up, not much, enough for a car. I'm about to turn, but the first guy in line on the big street gives me a signal "Stop, don't come in, im not letting you in." WHAT THE FUCK?!? First of all, the audacity! You either give the signal "Go in" or you just dont give any signal at all and edge up. It was like he was trying to call me out for being an asshole. What, so he gets to go on his green light, but I dont get to go on mine? What a fucking prick.
zxello, I'll grant you that there are many, many people who do not know the rules of the road, but I think most of the country's driving problems stem from the same thing. Everyone seems to think that their time is more important than anyone else's, no matter what. Even if it is 5 seconds of yours vs. 5 minutes of someone else's.
