Maybe it's just me...
 
But I love when I'm in a long turn lane (like to go to Kroger in the evenings) and I'm doing about 20 mph, a car blows by me, cuts into the turn lane and SLOWS ME DOWN while he/she hunts for a parking space.

you HAD to be in such a rush, yet I get to park by the door, and I'd be willing to be that by the time you're walking through the door, I'm half done with my shopping.

Nope, it's me too.

Some guy in a red Grand Am squeeled his tires and took a right turn way too fast to manage just two days ago right in front of me when I was passing the State complex. It was about 4:45 and everybody obviously wanted out of work as fast as possible. So, traffic was backed up at the next intersection. People really gotta learn to take it easy.

Happens every morning to me. There's a right hand turning lane at an intersection I ride through, and I swing out and take the lane where the bike lane ends about 150 feet from the intersection. Every time, at least 3 cars pass me and stop at the light waiting for traffic to clear so they can turn right. Most of the time they leave enough room for me to sneak by them on the right. I usually wave as I continue on my way.

I love those, they blow by you only to get caught at the light as you pedal up behind them and then do the same thing for 3 or 4 more lights. What a waste of gas.

They need a little Zoloft in the water cooler.
