I have a neighborhood that opens onto a four-lane highway. At evening rush hour it sometimes takes ten minutes to get an opportunity to get out--and then the window is five seconds.
Getting stuck behind indecisive dimwits is my biggest frustration in life.

Since we're on the subject, this just happened:
I'm in the right lane at a traffic light when it turns green. As I proceed through the intersection the car next to me in the left lane decides to switch into my lane. Okay fine, except that my car is already occupying that particular bit of space in the universe. So I honk to let the driver know that they're about to ram into me and they get back into their lane. Crisis averted. Then the same car, now slightly ahead of me but still in the left lane, turns on the right-side blinker. Stays in the left lane for a while with it still flashing, then slowly moves into a position of straddling the lane divider lines. THEN, continues to drive in both lanes with that blinker still flashing until I left that particular stream of traffic a mile or so later. What...? What was that driver trying to accomplish? What could they possibly have meant with that double-laning, blinker-flashing, almost me-ramming behavior?
I figure either drunk or texting, probably. Can't see how anyone sober and paying attention could be that bad of a driver!
