...But, the thing that gets me is when approaching a red light with two thru lanes, and the car/mini-van/truck or whatever changes lanes from behind you to pull up next to you (almost saying - you will not be going fast enough, so I will pass you when the light turns green). Not sure if I made the situation clear, but I always take this as a challenge to let them know that THEY were the slower vehicle, and they should have stayed where they were - BEHIND ME!

Oh man! You said it Red92LX50. I thought I was maybe the only one who realized that. What pisses me off even more is when approaching a red light in the right lane (left lane occupied but right lane open), but then something like a Nissan Pathfinder that's in the left ahead of you gets over in front (in right lane ahead of you). You would like to think, "okay this guy doesn't want to be held up behind the other car in left lane so he's gonna go when the light changes and not slouch around--cool." But NO, the idiot drives slower than the guy in the left lane who he had been behind so he really just got over to hold you up . WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THAT!!!!!!!!!! AAAAARRRgggggghhhhhh. Stupid.
As soon as I get a chance, I play with those people (you know, like change lanes, shoot past them, get in front of them and then slow down about 10mph and when they pass you, do it again--repeat about 3 times. )
