Oh, you “no turn on red even though it’s allowed” people!

A quick rant…
Something that bothers me is when you are 2nd in line at a red light, waiting to turn right. “If only”, you think to yourself, “I could have been first in line, I could have already turned by now”. So you wait. And wait. And then finally, the light turns green. What does the person in front of you do (remember, they are first inline at the light)? They turn right! Why couldn’t they have turned right when the light was red? There was no one coming and they could see that. Why did they have to delay my trip? Why, I ask. WHY?

Or better yet, when their is a right turning lane. You’re in the lane to go straight, but you decide to take another route and get in the right-turn lane because the right-turn green arrow light came on for that lane. But you have to wait for others to go first. So you finally get your chance and the green arrow turns red!!

Then, you get back in the straight lane, and that light turns red. It’s like that scene from Office Space.

That’s still better than my own experiences. Being the first one in a right turn lane sitting next to a sign that very clearly says “NO TURN ON RED” and having people from behind go around me and take the red light right turn.

I have had that happen once, and it angered me so much!

People don’t know how to drive. If I had a really shitty car I would just run right into people to move them out of my way.

I have often thought the same thing. Especially when someone parks so close to you that you can hardly get in, it would be awesome to just smash your door into theirs.
