First of all, who do you really think you are that you can't wait like the rest? You know FULL WELL that your lane will turn, but you INSIST on driving all the way to the front and causing the rest of us the inconvenience of having to wait on you.
Second of all, who is the guy up there letting these putz's into the line in the first place? Do you think you're just being nice? Do you think they really couldn't get into the line before? Or are you just too slow?
The other day I was waiting in a long left turn lane when I noticed in my mirror some idiot driving up beside us on the shoulder! There was no lane, and, in fact, hardly the width for anything bigger than a medium-sized car, but no! Here he goes rudely marching his way to the front and then pushing his way in! Did he really think that he was that much more important that he could do that and we wouldn't mind? And who the heck let him in? What were THEY thinking? "Oh, look dear, this poor guy is stuck on the shoulder for some reason. He must be so confused. Why don't we let him in..." Get a grip, people!
Why don't you just walk up to me and slap me in the face? It would really be no different! Its just as rude! Sure, I understand that there are times when someone new to the area doesn't realize he's in the wrong lane and needs in. However, I choose to believe that most of us have common sense. And common sense would tell me that, hey, those two lanes are completely stopped, yet this lane is moving at 100 miles an hour, so this lane probably ends or exits. Maybe I should get into these other lanes like everyone else. Not, "Wow, the rest of these 400 people must not be aware that this lane is available, so I'll keep driving... Oh! Would you looky there! I need to get over, my lane ends! Excuse me, coming through! Move over!"
But, alas, I think I am blindly mistaken. Common sense does not seem to be very common at all!
