In any ordinary week, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! would’ve been the worst driver I would encounter by a large margin. But amazingly, she’s got competition. Sure, she ran a stale light, but at least she got out of the way. This guy, on the other hand, pulls into the intersection to make a left. When his light and the oncoming light go red, he just sits. And sits. Keep in mind, there is NO TRAFFIC coming from his other side, because it’s a highway onramp. I am the only direction with a green light, so there’s nothing blocking him. I gave him what I thought was a very gentle toot, and instead of moving out of my way, he turns and makes all sorts of gestures at me over his clearly mortified passenger.

And then he goes. What a champ.

The Honda was also way too far forward, they should’ve stopped by the end of the median.

Do they not have stop lines in your area?

Some places yes, some no.

Not that it matters much here. The broken line was plenty visible...

I’m a huge Buffett fan. And yeah, that guy in the Escort probably would’ve stayed there all season.

This is what I had to contend with last Sunday morning. What a winner.

People, man. They never cease to amaze/frighten me.

That was one of those close calls that didn’t bother me at first but when I thought about it, I could have been injured if I had pulled out swiftly as I’m wont to do.

I accidentally did that once, sort of. I somehow forgot that I had been inching forward for a gap when I got caught by the light. I didn’t realize my mistake until everyone was turning really, really close to me. I was actually kind of mad that nobody honked, because it should have been pretty obvious that I didn’t even realize I was past the line, and I would have certainly backed up for them.

Bot no, I was actually not in the Escort.

Yours is white, correct?

Yup. She’s a 22-year-old white Escort which only cost me $600. ;D

I would’ve thought you’d be a little mellower about the situation with Buffett on. :)

That’s reasonably mellow by my standards. I may have a problem.
