I don't care how long they run their turn signal, it's not a license to skip the cars that have been driving in that lane patiently and maintaining a safe distance between each other.
That's exactly why I don't signal before cutting in.

I love it when someone is going .5mph faster to pass someone. I love motorcycles because they fit in tight spots. ZING!

The campers bug the shit out of me at school.. THey just gotta have that front spot near hte exit. So all the cars coming in are fucked upa nd the cars wanting to leave are fucked because you are by the exit. I often walk down that lane if I'm parked a floor above and watch people follow me at 2mph as I walk tot he end. Then they get pissed when I hit the stairs.

I have no idea what you're attempting to describe here.

he's talking about the idiots who "camp out" waiting for a parking spot, so he walks around acting like he's returning to his car, to trick those idiots into following him.

That makes more sense. Does Smittie by chance write assembly instructions for furniture? About as clear to follow.

They forgot the ones you always see on long trips...you know, those folks going 5 over in the left lane, when everyone else is trying to go at least 10 or more over. You pass them, they speed up so you cant pass, you go faster, they go faster and it keeps on until you finally get irritated enough to stomp on it, leave them in your dust, they give up, then 20 minutes later they come flying up and immediately slow down after they've gotten in front of you. Or they get a little ways in front of you, and 5 minutes later you are playing this whole game again. And 98% of this time you've been on cruise control.

These drivers are also known as losers who dont know how to use cruise control...

People who think the left lane is free game to stay in permanently, just because there are several other lanes in that direction. Their excuse is, "Other people have plenty of room" or "They're going to pass me on the right anyway"
