Cars+Stupid People = Road Rage for Doscon

I'll readily admit that my temper flares more while driving than in any other time during my day. Here are two examples from my morning commute today.

1. Some traffic lights hold longer than others. One in particular for my drive. We sit for probably 4 minutes. Finally, the light turns green. I'm probably #8 in line. Two cars go through the light. What does the person (woman) in front of me do? She opens her door and dumps her ash tray. WTF! At this very moment, with her sausage arm floating in space, there are no cars between her and the light. I curse, then hammer the horn. My bad...she turns to look. My blood pressure goes tilt. She closes the door and speeds toward what is now a Yellow light. The light turns Red . She runs it. I'm stuck for the next rotation.

2. Two miles later and I'm out of the burbs and merging onto the Interstate. WTF? The person (woman) driving the car in front of me (different car, different driver) has been given a clean space in which to merge. Traffic parted like the Red Sea just for her. What does she do? From this point until the merging lane ends, she rides the dash at 20mph. Merge! Geez! The dude (man) behind her slows to let me in. As traffic moves forward and I pass, I glance to give her the stare. Take a guess what she's doing?
She's reading a book. WTF. /story
