I don’t normally get riled up when driving, but the one exception is a particular stretch of road on my way to work.

Particular stretch of road

It’s simple enough, really.  If you want to take the left ramp, stay on the left.  If you want to go right, merge to the right.

Ideal

The problem comes from the idiots  who refuse to merge until the last minute.  All the safe and efficient drivers have already placed themselves in the right lane earlier.  Ideally, there should be a nice smooth entrance to the highway without any need to slow the traffic.  Instead, you get this:

Reality

It’s one thing to merge later when there’s little traffic, but to pull that shit during rush hour is unforgivable.  And it’s not as if these are drivers who were unable to change lanes earlier.  They simply speed past the other drivers, who are not driving slowly, to create a mess at the entrance.  They slow traffic to a crawl as they force themselves into the merge at the very last bit of ramp.

Leaving me to exclaim, “Fucker…fucker…fucker…fucker…” to each and every irresponsible driver who would not only slow me and everyone else down – but put us at greater risk for accidents.

The only satisfaction I get is when an 18-wheeler or some other enormous vehicle sees this shit and moves over to straddle the line, blocking those idiot drivers.  I love those guys.
