Have you ever signaled early to get into a turn lane and gotten into the turn lane and then had the person who USED to be ahead of you wait till the LAST minute and then get over in FRONT of you..... then you sit at the light till it turns green.... person turns, you turn, they get into the right lane, you get into the left lane and then they CHASE you down the road because they are pissed you got into the turn lane before they did? If you intend to get into the turn lane, at least put on your blinker, don't watch ME put on MY blinker and get over and drive half a block in the turn lane before YOU get into it by cutting me off! Why would someone do this? I think it is messed up to follow someone because you didn't get over before they did. Also, CLEARLY the right lane (if there are two lanes) is for people who are driving slower OR planning to turn right at a cross street. If you are driving slower, what would possess you to get irritated at someone who wanted to drive faster? There are times when I'm SURE I impeded somebody else but that doesn't mean AFTER they get around me and drive away that I turn on my afterburners or rocket launchers and drive after them crazily, intending to confront them because I was 'hokey dokeying along' and they had somewhere to be! Seriously, what is wrong with people? And any more, you can't talk to a stranger, what if they pull an uzi on you? UGH.

There is one specific road in our city for which this is a huge problem. First off, the road is extremely confusing because it is a multiple lane road and the direction of the lanes changes throughout the day depending on the volume of traffic. And then, it is the road that leads to the main retail area in the city so that makes matters worse as well. I swear there have been people that have chased me down on there before because of the fact that I am a cautious driver.

the other day i was in the middle lane of 5 lanes going in one direction.. so that leaves 2 on each side of me.. but no this person had to tailgate me and start waving her arms crazy like trying to tell me to MOVE OVER! im like wtf.. im already speeding and i know there are places that the cops hide so i dont even want to speed much as is because of that but why did she get behind me and then have a fit i wouldnt get over? the killer was she finally decided to go around me to get in the far left lane so it wasnt as if she was missing an exit or anything because of me.. she just thought i should just move over because she was too lazy to change lanes!

The person has anger problems. You're right, it's messed up. No reason for it at all.
