Why would your Xmas slogan be “Sorry\Not Sorry”…..? What does that even mean or have to do with Xmas.
"No sir, officer. There wasn't ANYTHING weird OR illegal in here. Oh, this, yeah, it's just um, a vase filled with oregano."Quote:

More evergreen content and the PNWet mags will know what I'm talking about...
Queueing up in one lane on a plowed, broken snow-covered two-lane, same-direction highway. Sunday, I'm headed home from my local ski hill, and there's a stretch of US highway that is clearly two lanes in one direction and there are miles of cars lined up in the far right lane. So I do what any sane person would do; get in the left lane and drive a reasonable speed and pass all of the skillet-lickers until the merge point. The number of honks and fist-shaking was comical. I had one crimefighter in a clapped-out Ford Focus try to get out of his lane to block me. Not only did he spin his wheel and nearly slide into the car next to him, but I also went calmly around him because I have snow tires.
Idiots. Two lanes; use them all the way up to the merge point. Zipper merging works.
Jeebus. I don't know that spot, but in Manchester, Maine there's a stretch of US 202 that has zipper merge signs and the lanes painted to facilitate zipper merging. I am sure if it wasn't signed, not many people would figger it out.Quote:

That's the kind of scenario where I'd pull over and let him find out, if it didn't mean getting stuck behind a whole bunch of cars. And depending on the day I was having, even that might be worth it.Quote:

Failure to zipper merge has chapped the collective ass before.

My wife yells at me when i do that, but my motto is sleaze or get sleazed.Quote:

It’s such a weird thing, because good people feel like assholes for doing precisely the right thing. Will be hard to change habits on this.
I agree. I feel the same way about people that ignore right-of-way rules at intersections so they can feel good about waving the other driver ahead. Stopping in the middle of the road to wave me out doesn’t make me like you. In fact, making me try to read your mind is infuriating. Just follow the rules, take your turn and move the process along please.Quote:

If there is traffic behind you, it will flow much better if you don't block it. That's why we give right of way to the traffic on the main road.Quote:

This is exactly analogous to walking on the left side of a multi-use path, to avoid bikes coming up blind behind you.
Fight me.
Right of way at a 4 way stop is meaningless to us with dyslexia.
