Road Rage Karma--What's the next to worst thing that can happen if you don't let someone in a lane?

1. Cute but without more context of when the person in the SUV had the chance to get over

I can't say that I think the person in the car was a jerk.

If I see somebody trying to pull in at the last second, I often don't let them in either because they made the choice to think they are too important to wait like everybody else.

There are some notoriously bad exits in the Boston area, like exiting the I-90 turnpike toward Cambridge, which will often be backed up from the light half a mile away all the way to the toll booth, but there are always people happy to go through the left lane which turns a different direction and expect to be let in at the last moment. Yes, it's a horribly poorly designed exit with an idiotic traffic light pattern, but that's no excuse to be a self-centered ass and zoom around everybody else who waits.

2. I hate people that drag their asses

and wait until the last minute to change lanes. I don't let them in.

I kind of think that the person in the gigantic vehicle is a jerk.

3. I had a friend just admit to me that she does this on purpose!

Her reasoning was that she could save so much time by doing that and someone always let her in.

THIS was right after I was griping about all the people who do this and if they only understood how to merge, EVERYONE would go faster!

She was unashamed. Bragging about it. I think I like her less now, lol.

4. That's terrible!

I'm figuring there may be a lot of those people out there. Can't be bothered with any 'this lane ends pretty soon' or 'merge' signs
Then try to weasel their way in. I found the most hilarious people were those that drive fancy BMW or Mercedes type cars. I have always had old beaters, so they have more to lose than I do if they insist on trying to wedge their car in a 6" space.

I would give her a firm "I don't drink with you".

5. She drives an Acura...

I was just shocked that she announced it in such a way as to say "YEP, I AM THE ASSHOLE you hate in the car!"

It really has bothered me ever since she said it.

10. What would really help is if Americans learned to Zipper.

11. That's how it should work.

It looks good on paper - but there's always going 'that guy' that flings a wrench into the works.

6. if he needed to get over

7. They're both jerks

No winners here.

8. Sorry the SUV guy was the asshole

My guess is he tried to wait until the last minute to get into that lane and I'm like the grey sedan, I won't budge an inch either just because someone is too indecisive about their lane choices.

9. Cars are legal and cannabis is not.

This world makes no sense.

Everyone needs to chill out.

12. Labelling them "guys"...

...is probably wrong, not only because it is sexist but because at least one of them is a woman. It's what they do and how they behave in traffic.

13. Notice: solid, or unbroken, lines tell you where you may not pass or change lanes

The second rule is that solid, or unbroken, lines tell you where you may not pass or change lanes; dashed or broken lines permit you to pass or change lanes.
