I had to pbutt an SUV as I was turning right out of a parking lot because an SUV driver was waiting for all 3 lanes of traffic to clear before pulling right. They had pulled up to the parking lot exit as though they were going to turn left (an impossibility where we were, at least without eastbound in westbound lanes).
There was plenty of room for me to turn right, and this put me ahead of them at the left turn light.
The left turn was not a protected and I was quite pleased when I was able to complete my turn while they stayed stuck for another light cycle.
I might have done so in my younger days, but I've mellowed in that regard. There's just too many of them to allow myself to waste time cursing and giving them the finger.
Plus, you never know when that sloth is going to be a pig or a spouse of a pig and my license plate is too easy to remember (goddammed vanity plates, why did I do that?)
