What REALLY grinds your gears?

[JoeRedskin]

Driving in to work today, come to a four way intersection with stop signs for my crossing street with the right of thru way for the street I want to enter by a left turn. I stop behind a truck with it's blinker on to make the same left turn as me. Traffic is usually light, but it is an awkward sight line, so I understand people taking extra care before making the turn. I wait.

... and wait, and wait. Easily two to three minutes waiting for the guy to make the left with ample opportunities to do so. Finally, I honk. Not a long, obnoxious honk but a "Hey, buddy, there is someone behind you - can you move it?" honk. Guy makes the left (finally) and I do too b/c their wasn't a car FOR BLOCKS. He pulls into the right lane and I pull into the left and, as I go by, he gives me the finger. I return the courtesy. At the next light, a red, he pulls behind me and leans into the horn the entire time the light is red.

Okay, it's the morning, maybe you thought I was being pushy - you wouldn't be the first and won't be the last to have that thought. You give me the finger after keeping me waiting for no apparent reason. Okay, fine - you are displeased at my actions. Free speech and all that - I have a finger too and can respond with equal vulgarity to demonstrate my displeasure with your actions. But holy f'ing crap. Leaning on your horn for a full minute when I CANNOT MOVE BECAUSE OF A RED LIGHT? Get a f'ing life.
