You're an asshole, not a genius

But, I swear this thread has interesting GC timing. LOL.

There are always going to be times when you end up "that guy" because you didn't know the lane was ending or didn't pay attention, but I think we all see those people who purposefully pull out of the right lane traffic to cut around with signs clearly showing that the lane is merging, ending or not turning. I used to get this every morning on 295 South just outside Baltimore, and I saw the same cars do it every single day.

I often wonder how hard it is for some people to DRIVE. Are you texting or doing something else instead of paying attention? Are you rubber necking and being nosy? Get out of my way, dammit!

You sound like me after driving at least an hour to work everyday for the past 3 years!
