Do you do this when waiting in line at the grocery store?
If not, why not?
Just something I have always wondered...
I always merge into lanes like this.
I used to work at a job that had the shittiest right turn lane ever created and the lineup would be so long that I would have to wait 10 or so minutes just to make this one turn.
No way in hell am I waiting 10 minutes like an idiot just to make this turn when I can scoot right past everyone and quickly make it in under 10 seconds. Then there are tons of idiots who are day dreaming in line and take forever to inch up with huge gaps between them and the car ahead of them, so that's where I come in.
i do this all the time at an exit that's uphill.
my excuse is that i drive stick and can't be bothered to clutch in and out the whole way up, so fuck you all.
None of you would do this in a line at the supermarket, so why is your car any different?
So you're either an asshole or you're not an asshole.
Go ahead then, show how big of an asshole you are in line at the supermarket. Someone is day dreaming for 2 seconds and not moving forward in line, its your right to cut in front of them, right? YOUR time is more important than that person's right? Why should YOU have to wait 10 minutes at the grocery store?

Nope, waiting in line for 2 minutes is not the same as waiting in line for 10 minutes to make ONE turn, especially considering the fact that if I leave work right on time and get on the highway right away, it will take me about an hour to get home while if I wait 10-15 minutes to get on that same highway, it will take me at least 1.5 hours since the highway will get even more packed. Those extra 10 mins of waiting make a HUGE difference for me. So whoever feels like staying in line and wasting their time is free to do so.
And btw, I'm not impeding traffic during my driving shenanigans, so everyone leaves happy at the end of the day.
Do you retards not realize that one of the reasons those turning lanes take so long is because there are a dozen other idiots thinking the same thing as you? That their time is more precious and therefore it is ok to screw up the flow of traffic.
Why would we change the length of time you have to wait?
Assume the line at the checkout would take at least 10 minutes, just like the line to make this right turn. In fact assume all factors equal - that waiting in the checkout line for 10 minutes will mean it takes you an additional 10 minutes to get home due to the traffic.

So you had to sit and talk to the cops for god knows how long instead of taking a nanosecond longer to get where you're going. Congratulations, I guess.
Plus like someone else mentioned, you're lucky he wasn't some schizo off his meds who'd shoot you right in the head without batting an eye. Yep, that sure sounds worth it.
Ok, if I get on the highway at 5pm, it will take me 1 hour to get home.
If I get on the highway at 5:15pm, it will take me 1.5 hours or longer to get home as in that 15 minute period, traffic increases exponentially and it will take me even longer to drive that stretch of highway.
What are you on about?
It's not a complicated question.
There's a 10 minute wait at the grocery store checkout line. If you wait 10 min, it will take you an extra 30 min to get home than it would if you could skip the line.
Do you walk to the front of the line and just hop in front of someone?
If not, why not?
Everyone knows the answer. They won't admit it though.
They feel like they are entitled to something and this is the lowest fruit they can grab.
Cutting in line in traffic ts the only time they feel like they're getting ahead, albeit using a very 'i'm a passive aggressive pussy' method.
I'd respect the admitted line jumpers more if they'd try this routine anywhere else than a car. Sure, you'd be a complete dick and probably have no friends, but at least you'd be honest with yourself.

naw, it was backed up traffic, we did a 300 yard creep and he shot the hole, passed me and backed off, then floored it and tried to get in front of me. the cop was abut 10 cars behind, he saw it. didnt take long to give info and leave. as for the schizo and meds thing, im armed anyway, and its within reach at pretty much all times. im not too worried about someone running at me, in these types of situations people who are prepared are watching for things like that. so apparently im the psycho with the gun in traffic. ooo, watch out, im crazy and going to shoot someone in the face for cutting me off! dumbass.

The ones who wait in traffic slowly moving with the line are responsible adults. The ones who go by and cut in at the end are ass polyps. Some drivers are responsible, some are ass polyps.
The ones who wait in traffic slowly moving with the line are sheeps. The ones who go by and cut in at the end are wolves. Some drivers are sheeps, some are wolves.
If I tried to do that in a grocery store it would most likely cause a scene, the cashier may refuse to ring my items up, people would start bitching, and it would most likely turn into a very unpleasant situation for everyone.
When I do this in a car, it is done and over with in a matter of seconds, nobody bitches and everyone goes on with their lives.
If I could ask another driver to go in front of them I would, but, unfortunately, I am unable to do that in most circumstances. And even if I could, I'd just be slowing down traffic that way.
Also, I don't see how me acting in one situation has anything to do with another.
