Gentlemen, I hope we all remember the agenda, but here's a quick run through just in case:

  1. We all denounce the actions of the man engaged in this behavior.
  2. We all denounce the people who allow this sort of thing to happen.
  3. We all start a counter argument and reference the zipper technique.
  4. We all specify that the issue at hand is not about people merging during normal traffic but rather at times when they know damn well that the lane is going to end.
  5. We all identify periods of time where we have been the person in that car looking like a complete asshole and not knowing how to apologize for our actions.
  6. We all engage in personal attacks on those people trying to tell that story.
  7. We all engage in meme mimicry and post multiple photos of bad driving behavior up to and including the guy who honks his horn when the light just turned green.
  8. We all post photos mocking the actions of those complaining in a slightly humorous manner.
  9. We all discuss the nature of traffic flow in general terms and note that our strong hostilities and problems are likely due to our inability to communicate properly with other automobiles.
  10. We all submit crude drawings of steering wheels with different horns we could press to express our general mood such as an apology horn.
  11. We all post a photo mocking said photos in a slightly humorous manner.
  12. We all get sick of talking about it and watch a grainy amateur porn video while we drown ourselves in a bottle of Dewar's Scotch. Actually, that last one is probably just me.

4a. What about when you don't know the lane is going to end? I've had that happen when the back-up of regular commuters is beyond the visual range of the turn, and you are forced to be that asshole guy.

On one hand I hate it when people try to sneak in like this. On the other I feel for them because sometimes you just don't realize where you're going until it's just a second to late, and you've gotta turn, and there's a guy behind you beeping cause it's green, and no one's letting you in, and it just sucks and you feel terrible.

That's why I let them in- in case they're like me.

[–]persistent_illusion 8 points9 points ago

When I see this I like to give them the benefit of doubt and assume they are from out of town or something.

[–]Magnesus 1 point2 points ago

It's hard to do when there is like 10 of them trying to get into the lane. I've done this two times in my life too I think. Everyone is a little guilty. ;)

Or you could just, you know, follow the rules of the road and go straight and fix your problem at your own expense, not everyone else's. After all, you're the one that fucked up, not everyone else.

[–]kencabbit 10 points11 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It seems like nobody on the road knows how to just miss their damn turn, turn around, and come back to it. I see people cutting across lanes, coming to a complete stop, nearly causing accidents, just to turn right now instead of just going by, saying "Oh, I missed it" and taking another route or turning around later down the road.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's because the ones that are assholes are more visible than the ones that decide to fix their own mistakes; they drive straight and out of view in seconds, whereas you get to watch the dumbass sitting in the next lane over for 30 seconds or so.

[–][deleted] -3 points-2 points ago

Ah, the age old conundrum of being a nice, understanding and accommodating person vs. being an anal stickler for the rules, a militant or a completely unforgiving soul.

I see you went with option two.

[–]Kale187 13 points14 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

That is one way of looking at it. I would take the hit and go straight so I don't piss off the people behind me. Maybe I'm just overly accommodating.

[–]kencabbit 25 points26 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

What a horrible false choice. People who stop in the middle of an lane that should be moving so they can cut into a lane that they should have been in already are being a danger on the road. People who insist on having other cars on the road accommodate their needs at the expense of safety, traffic flow, and the needs of other drivers -- these people are being the assholes, particularly in situations where there are easy alternatives such as just going to the next street and doing a U-turn, which is usually an easy option.

[–]rock92 7 points8 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

A lot of times the traffic is actually caused/perpetuated by the people cutting in and those who are accommodating. Say what you will, but traffic runs smoother when everyone is "an anal stickler for the rules".

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I don't get that, why does the responsibility of being accomodating rest with the people following the rules and not with those disregarding them?

[–][deleted] -5 points-4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

You're missing my point: That those "disregarding" them aren't necessarily doing it out of bloody mindedness or because they're a shitty driver. They might just not know the road all that well.

But how other drivers react to that is also telling. Some here have said "So what? it'll take 15 seconds to let them into my lane and I can see how that kind of mistake can happen" - I am with these people. Then there are those who absolutely will not let that car merge which - in many ways - prolongs the problem!

Technically you're right - the responsibility should not rest with those who are already in the correct lane. But how they react to that is their responsibility and choice. I'm encouraging the accommodating attitude with a minimum of fuss, aggravation and possibly danger - as opposed to sticking absolutely to the rules which can - in some cases - aggravate the situation rather than fix it.

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

People like you are the reason assholes do it on purpose. They see that someone will let them in out of some desperate need to be thought of as nice and so they do it because there's no reason not to.

Last comment on this from me -- I've made too many for this silly issue already. But, I wanted to let you know I figured out where we are butting heads here. (edit: And we probably agree more than disagree)

Personally, I wasn't trying to argue against letting these people in, or against having an accommodating attitude. I was simply complaining about drivers who seem to think the rest of the road should bend over backwards to accommodate their own mistakes (and no, not every driver who needs to merge in fits this bill... .but it's something I see a lot, and it annoys me). Heck. I'll let these people in even if they are being jerks, just to hurry them along so they aren't blocking the lanes anymore. Doesn't mean I don't think they are being douchebags.

I hear ya! I do the same thing sometimes. But you can often tell when it's just an asshole. Like when the driver drives full speed all the way to the ramp, and then turns on a turn signal.

[–]mythos85 3 points4 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Fuck that, if you're not paying attention you deserve to look stupid!

I really don't mind if someone indicates to come into the lane in a normal situation. Speed past me and then wait five cars up to squeeze in, GTFO!?

I don't feel sorry for them because often they'll pull out of the correct lane to fast track up the wrong one and then try squeeze in, if they apply a screwyou attitude then why must i accommodate their gross disrespect?

[–]thewhitedragon 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

There's a turning like this near my work which the main route goes through width restrictions so there's always traffic. If you make a mistake there is a turnaround point which will cause you 30 seconds delay. The every 5th car tries to drive round and cut in, so you're theory does not stack up. People are just genuine impatient assholes!

[–]akacinna 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Uh...no. Why doesn't it occur to you to just go straight if you missed the turn and find a suitable place to make a U-turn? Why burden other people with your mistakes. There are few excuses for doing that. Emergencies are one.

I miss turns every so often and I have the courtesy to keep moving along and turn around. Then I only waste my time.

[–]kylearm -4 points-3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Be prepared to have a bunch of people who evidently always know when a lane is going to fucking disappear on a road they've never driven on with poor signage tell you that you should just suck it up and get funneled into a toll road to Oregon or some shit.

The number of people who do that on purpose is vanishingly small.

[–]GondorPrimulon 5 points6 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

You forgot a few things. The arrow should start from the back the other cars in the other lane. Also there should be a car pileup behind this merging car because he has been stopped there for far too long trying to merge.

[–]fwaggle 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Agreed - the way the diagram is currently laid out, I've done this a lot (unintentionally) in unfamiliar cities... particularly when the orientation of lanes is reversed. Like shitty Fort Wayne - you're driving in the straight-through lane, you're driving, you're driving... uh oh. "Everyone in this lane must turn".

The asshole move is only when you switch lanes to get ahead, then try to switch back.

[–]pajam 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Indeed. While we all hate people who do this, we all end up doing it unintentionally from time to time. Whether it's due to a lane closure up ahead, or stupid roads that suddenly force the straight lane to turn and you have to get over.

What makes it worse is that the line gets longer because these assholes have to merge, which in turn makes more assholes do the same thing, which in turn makes the line longer which in turn........

And they win, you end up waiting forever and they only need to have some guy let them in.

My father did that, by accident. The whole three lanes were driving slow and he didn't realize that the line for the turn started about 10 cars behind where he squeezed in. He squeezed in not at the front, but he still felt like an asshole.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

These things happen. I've had it happen to me before - you're on an unfamiliar road with a lot of rapid moving, heavy traffic and you're trying to find your turning or whatever... it does happen.

But if you need to squeeze in then generally it's not the end of the world. Mistakes happen... and you can spot the kind of driver who is doing it to be a douche vs. the kind who is doing it out of awkward necessity a mile away.

I used to do a lot of traveling around the country. Not all towns are particularly good at marking turns before they happen. It's hard to judge whether that person is an asshole or not. One that sticks in my mind is a road in a suburb of Chicago. Left lane is straight ahead, right lane is right turn only. However, there was no "Right lane must turn right" sign until you actually hit the stop sign. All the drivers knew this but me, because I wasn't local. I must have eff'd up there about 2-3 times.

I'm in the DC area, so this and other driving shenanigans are pretty common, but infinitely worse than this situation is when assholes don't make any effort to get over a lane to give you room to merge from the entrance ramp.

am I the only one that hates the kinda opposite situation as well? I know the law isn't the same everywhere, but here, you can turn right at red lights, unless there's a sign stating you can't. I can't describe this in words enough, so here's the image... this happens on the street next to my job EVERY day:

I am currently on vacation in Russia. Lanes....those are just a suggestion. I saw a dude driving on the sidewalk yesterday. Driving in the "bus only lane" is standard and nobody seems to care. The roads can be so bad that they cause you to drive on the wrong side of the road to avoid damage.

That being said, I appreciate the American rules of the road, but I don't care if people act like douches anymore. They will be caught by the police and have to pay an outrageous fine sooner or later

TLDR: Try driving in Russia, America Fuck yeah.

[–]illgainedgoods 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Let me give you an example of a time where I did just that, and you tell me if I was wrong:

I'm driving along a road I've never been on, and as usual, I am late (not an excuse, but it happens). I notice that the right lane is moving at a third of the speed of the left lane, so, the smart guy I am, I stay in the left lane. Big mistake. About halfway down that line, I see the first sign saying right lane for my exit, so I try to merge right. Of course, now it is too late because everyone in the right lane is mad that I'm cutting in line. If I were to stay in my lane I could get hopelessly lost (you can't assume there is an easy way to U-turn down the road if you turn left). And I can't stop until someone lets me in the right lane, since that will cause more traffic. So i slowly move down the road until someone kindly lets me in. Am I wrong to be that "A-Hole" ?

That being said, when I see someone speed down the side of a line, blowing past 3 signs which clearly direct them where to turn, and then at the last minute try to merge into the exit lane, crossing all sorts of lanes and lines and what not, I not only pull as close to the car in front of me to prevent all merging, but also try to mentally tell everyone in front of me to do the same.

I had a particularly shitty instance of this happen to a cute, clearly less fortunate young woman yesterday. It was smoldering hot out. Everyone that had AC was blasting it. Tons of backed up traffic thanks to the construction merge traffic. Asshole in Lexus rolls up just like in the comic. I stand strong (knowing it's nbd to my insurance company if he hits me). The girl with her windows down in a old jalopy gets forced out by the Lexus driver after he was likely annoyed with me and was more aggressive. She blares her horn and makes all sorts of obscene gestures. But the Lexus driver made it clear it was either plow into him or let him in. The part that made it all nasty to me? This guy was grinning from ear to ear. I had a perfect view of his face from my rear view. It was clear he was very much enjoying her outburst. He did a small little head nod chuckle to himself and then just wore the widest smile possible until the light cycled. TLDR: Creepy Lexus owner took odd level of satisfaction from doing this to a less fortunate person.

I generally don't mind that kind of thing due to bad and/or fading paint jobs on the roads where I live. Most people just don't realize what lane they are in and what it's for because they can't see the damn thing.

If I see you swing out and speed up to try and cut out like that, you're blocked. However if I see someone slowly proceeding with the blinker on from back and nobody's letting them in I will let the damn person in. Why hold up another lane of traffic just to spite one potential prick?

[–]SwampassJ 1 point2 points ago

On the other hand, its fucked up to punish people for honest mistakes. Sometimes shit just happens, not everybody is specifically trying to out-douche you when they find themselves in situations like this.

But of course, blatant cutting should be rectified with some swift passive-aggressive justice juice.

Honest mistake my ass. If you're not paying attention to where you're driving, you're not paying attention to that semi who's blind spot you're sitting in.

When I go up to my inlaws there is a .5 mile long exit lane before you hit the off ramp between the Beeline and PGA BLVD on the FL Turnpike. Every time there is someone in either a souped up ricer or a luxury car who decides to zoom accross the white lines at the last second.

If only he cared. Seriously.

I wish so badly I could mount a mk.19 automatic grenade launcher and be the "asshole prevention" element (honda element already has a turret area in the rear) in my city. I wish every city had an anonymous enforcer - sure, you probably could get away with being an asshole 5 days a week, but after you pass that first smoking ruin of a car on the shoulder and see on the news that the charred remains of that asshole were smoked for doing some of the same shit you do every day: that might make a difference.

Or it might make me appreciate, as a form of entertainment, the risks those assholes took - every commute, who knows, you might see someone's car perforated with a minigun or melted by a flamethrower. I could see where that would make a commute damn tolerable.

I pull to the left, blocking both lanes. He can try to work his way in behind me, but he sure as fuck ain't getting in ahead of me.

You forgot the BMW logo on that car. Consistently the worst drivers out there!

If someone lets him in then it doesn't matter what you think of him, and what he did was smart.

Merging late is better for traffic flow. Stop driving with your ego.

Read some traffic theory. This is a good start: http://www.amazon.com/Traffic-Drive-What-Says-About/dp/0307264785

Rational, correct answer. Right here at the bottom where I expected it.

Am i the only one who hates the "Sincerely, <inanimate object>" or "Sincerely, <bunch of people who the one who said that does NOT represent>".

In this case, RyVal is trying to act as society as a whole, but i know a lot of people who will not consent to this statement (myself included).

TL;DR Dear, RyVal. Fuck off. Sincerely, me.

Purposely driving tandem with them so they can't get in line is probably something I'd rank up there as best feelings of all time.

Fucking truth. I see this all the time with people who KNOW the lane they are in is ending up ahead, but they drive down to the front of that (empty or nearly empty) lane and cut in ahead of all of us waiting patiently in line. If nobody has let them in by the time I reach that point like I always hope, I give them a smile and the finger.

TL;DR Wait patiently like the rest of us, assholes.

So you don't get to give them the smile and the finger because somebody always lets them in.

Pissing off someone I don't know is worth not waiting in traffic. Just saying.

I never let them in. But at the same time, I also cut the line myself. There's always some guy leaving so much room slowing down everyone behind him making them miss the light. I've learned long ago that being a nice guy on the road will just get you pissed off. So I drive like an asshole now before someone else does it to me first.

I got out of my way to fuck over these assholes in Mercedes and bmw's. I actually like to pull into their lane with no intention of going that way just to fuck with them.

I pull my car car most of the way into the lane to block when lanes are merging and traffic is real slow. The other drivers around me save me my spot too. I like to think they're cheering me on. In this particular instance, the blocking wouldn't be appropriate as there may be people trying to legitimately go strait. So, sucks to be in that situation.

What always gets me about these douchebags is that maybe 1% of them would actually have the balls to do this on foot, yet when in a car, they feel all brave. Try doing this in line at a store, I'll flip you for real.
