Just got back from West Marine, boy they love me there. $300 bucks, poof gone like that....
Rant: Begin
Anyway coming past Seaworld the entrance to the 5 is not an easy one. Its where two lanes merge into one then back into two before you hit the ramp. The lines are long and it takes two light changes just to get close to the ramp light on a busy day like today.
There is alway a line of cars in the left waiting, and the line on the right of the "snakers." The ones who sneak in at the last second, cuz they don't want to wait. This causes the waiters to suddenly stop, further exacerbating the problem....:mad: I must admit sometimes I have been a snaker, too.
Anyway, me being my normal good driving self, I like to leave a little room for stopping distance, like we are told to. Of course here is some "snaker" who pops in to my braking distance, at the last second, then stops for the yellow, causing me to miss the green light. :mad:
Then the light turns green, but since he's on the phone, he gets snaked by three or four others, causing us to miss the next light at the onramp itself. So now its been 4 changes I'm sitting through...... I am in no hurry, but just annoyed at the stupidity of this fat **** on the phone.
Finally we got on the freeway, so I figure I'll play with this guy a little. I'm not mad, really just annoyed. Plus I am in the Wrangler so I have no power. I merge in front of him and slow down a little. Even with the car in the slow lane. Just enough to box him in a bit, when he want to go around I speed up......the whole time he's still on the phone and probably does not realize any of what's going on........
Finally he hangs up and goes around on the left, putting him in the third lane. But dumbass then notices he needs the next exit....uh oh. There's me in the way......sorry buddy, Mandelon is not leaving any gaps for you this time......I give him a dirty look....and he hits the brakes and cuts across three lanes behind me, taking time to flip ME the bird for not letting him in...
I just smiled..:D
Do you guys do that too???
