Today I am making the fun commute to work and finally get to the turn lane for the freeway entrance. There are two turn lanes and I notice that there are 5 cars in the left lane and 4 in the right lane. However, there is also Mr. Brakeandcreep slowly moving up to the end of the line in the right lane.
I jot over to the left lane and wait. The light eventually turns green and my lane speedily moves into the on-ramp and the line of cars waiting for their brief green light.
The right lane I notice that Mr. Puttputtbrakeandcreep is slowly coming around the bend behind me. I look at ahead of him and see the sweet sweet back end of a tractor trailer. I blink and swerve into the right lane which does not give him enough time to speed up and block...he actually attempted to do just that.
Anywho, I look in my rear view mirror and see a look of utter and complete frustration on his face. In my mind I am thinking, "Do it! You know you want to. Just do it!"
I see his head pivot, glance into mirrors, and there he goes. Quick lane change into the left lane. I giggle.
As we move forward, the tractor trailer is just a couple of cars in front of me. He gets his light and my lane jumps forward. The minivan behind the truck was not speedy enough and misses his light. I get my green light and look back to see Mr. WhatthefuckwasIthinking 6 cars away from getting his green.
It is sad that there are people like him in the world. This was not a single occurrence. This happens a few times a week. I see people swerving and cutting other people off just to get out from behind a tractor trailer in the metered entrance lanes.
I swerve to get behind them!
