Dude!! You are in the right lane to make a
left turn. I am in the left lane to make a left turn. I glance over and you
have a look on your face that is challenging and clearly says I am a 19 year
old with more testosterone than brains and I am about to run you over grandma
in your Lincoln Town Car because I am from Dumbasscuss and more clever than
you. Really?? Now at this particular
intersection there are four lanes. One only turns left. One turns left or moves
forward, one moves only forward, one goes only right. There is also a lane that
swings around and allows you to make a left U-turn before the intersection if
you wish to get to a location back the way you came. So in essence there are
two lanes that allow you to go back to the highway in the opposite
direction. The road on which we are
about to turn has 3 lanes. The one he is slated to turn onto which moves only
forward. The one I am about to turn onto that allows you to move forward or
turn left and a lane that will be to my left that is a turn left only lane that
is actually a continuation of the left turn lane from the road to our
right. The light changes and I move
taking the left turn. He misses the change so he is slightly behind me in the
turn. He stomps on his gas and charges. I realize that the citizen of Dumbasscuss
is about to attempt to turn left over two lanes from the far right lane in
about .3 seconds in front of me. I think about pacing myself so he will be
unable to make the turn. His frustration and determination show on his face. Instinct tells me this one really is a litter
runt and stupid. He will, at all cost make that turn. The fact that he will
probably cause a 6 car wreck has not even entered his mind. He wants to make
the turn and will no matter what. You can see his blind ambition on his face. I
keep pace with him. He attempts to move into my lane directly beside me,
forcing me over into the turn lane to my left so he can be in a turn lane also.
I refuse to move and press ever so gently on my gas pedal moving me forward
ahead of him. I watch as he bites his lower lip grabs the steering with both
hands. He is going to make the turn. Cars behind us have slowed because they
see what this punk is about to do. I can speed up and he will either hit my car,
stop, or drive forward. I doubt he will do the latter two. I am now in control
of this situation and have the power he so desperately wants to believe he
has. So do I let him buy me a new car or
let him go? At the last possible moment I slowed and he turned in front of me
in the middle of the intersection running over a median and fishtailing. I
decided to lay on my horn. He stomps on his gas pedal and races away. I will take his hasty retreat as an apology.
I feel sorry for whatever female creature he catches. He is probably going to
be abusive and thoughtless.
That is all I have to say today. Just be wary
of citizens of Dumbasscuss.
