I moved up into College Park, Maryland for school, and knew the neighborhood was shitty, but today, as I was driving back to my house, I was turning from a 2 lane turn and as we finished our turn, the two lanes merged into one lane.

There was a good amount of cars, so it was pretty tight while we were merging going around 30 mph. But I was clearly in front of this person trying to merge, but this person who was WAY behind me, refused to let me merge. The moment he realized I was trying to merge, he slams on his accelerator and just shuts me out. Whatever happened to common courtesy?

Annoying. I looked at this unfortunate looking retard and his bucktoothed girlfriend chuckling and smiling in their shitty (no offense to you Sarlacc) Nissan Pathfinder, and I smiled.

Oh well, just my rant.

 

College Park after dark

 

you got served

 

Clearly.

 

I do that when people KNOW the lane is ending but fly to the front thinking they can get ahead of the traffic then merge at the last minute.

Now those people annoy me.

 

Same.

Most people are completely incapable of reading traffic flow. It bothers me to no end when people pull stupid shit like that.

 

For those familiar with the 295S Route 1 offramp in Lawrenceville NJ, people wait until the last f'in second to squeeze in. I've seen more rear-end collisions there than anywhere else in Joisey.

However, a few weeks ago, a NJ Trooper was sitting in the shoulder (at night) with his lights off and when people tried to squeeze in, he immediately chased them down, I'm assuming to give them a ticket.

I was laughing soo freakin hard when I saw it happen. I thought, nice buddy thought you coud save yourself 30 seconds by trying to sneek in. Bitch!!!!

 

+1

 

I know where you're talking about. I hate that shit.

 

Chris, I don't envy you living in CP. That place is a shit hole. I couldn't believe how bad it was when I went to visit my sister who also went to UMD and lived there. Her boyfriend's friend was shot to death over a cell phone on the street she lived on, just a few houses down from her.

 

I hate people that don't let other people merge. Is it really worth one car length? The other extreme is people who race to get ahead of someone to merge.

Example:
They're doing construction on my road so it goes down from two lanes to one right after the highway underpass stop light, so I always get in the left lane since the right lane has to merge into the left. I'm sitting at a red light last night and in the right lane this BMW basically rolls through the red light a second or two before it changed to green to get in front of me. Literally 100ft ahead of where the lanes merge is a condo community, and he takes the right into it. At least if he was in a serious rush and was heading all the way down the road and didn't want to get stuck behind a slow car I'd understand, but he turned immediately after risking death by rolling through a red light. I don't get it.

i also hate when ppl just start to move over slowly to try and merge infront of you, like can't they signal? those are usually the only times i never let someone in.
and i mean no one, a cop tried to do that once, had his wheel completely cranked when he was sitting in the lane over from me, he was just gonna cut me off when the traffic started going again, i pretended i didn't see him cuz he had no signal or anything on. so i started to slowly creep with the rest of the traffic untill the cop's partner rolls down the window to signal me to stop to let them in. i was thinking wtf... like he couldn't just put on his signal, they pull ppl over for not doing that

 

this annoys me alot too, i had a 300m pull up next to me at the light and try to fly infront of me to cut me off with the closed lane on his side like 50 yrds away.
i wasnt having any of that.

 

I used to throw apples at those people. I should start doing that again.

 

^or...you should get a bunch of those driver's ed pamphlets or books, so when someone cuts you off or does something dumb you can throw it through their window and yell "learn to drive". i shoulda done that but i don't run into a lot of really stupid drivers usually, and not that i'd remember to throw a book at them. i'm just gonna get a louder horn and wail on it when someone cuts me off

 

I admit, I was spoiled as a kid because my parents worked hard for their money to give me a good life, but god damn CP is just the biggest shit hole I've ever been in.

 

horn is my best friend in such conditions.


I need a louder one though.

 

Ummm.....no
