Which is funny cuz I'm always the first to let a stream of cars pass when there's some sort of construction going on... well mainly cuz it's funny to stop the cars behind me for so long 😛
'come on come on i've got all the time in the world, don't mind the cars behind me' lol

Oh I remembered one time when driving I couldn't figure out what some annoying noise was. There was a car next to me that passed me up and I noticed that his door was slightly open so I kept thinking to myself 'What a stupid idiot, who the hell drives with their door open, can't his dumb ass tell that it's open, idiots'
Can you guess? Yes a little later I noticed the driver side door-light on 😛 ha ha and I turn to look and my door was open! That's what was making the noise lol

Then another time I was soooo pissed off because while driving at night this car at a stop sign just proceeded forward and almost hit me! So ofcourse I went off on a rant, well couldn't he see me?! Well I get on the freeway and was wondering why it was so dark up there...? I mean why don't they have light? That is dangerous, I couldn't see shit! Ha ha then I understood why that car almost hit me 😛

Most of the time it's not my fault though.

They really don't do anything about it cuz I've reported people who have nearly run me over while walking and nothing happens.
Also I've been reported about twice now atleast because they've yelled they would 😛 I was rushing to work once and tried passing up this idiot but on the turn lane (yeah bad idea) so we sped up to 65 on a 35 speed limit street so I actually stayed on those turn lanes in the middle of the street for about four blocks and just decided that oh well I'd turn to the left anyway. That guy was an ass hole! It was stupid of me but more of a reason to let me get in the lane! I was so rushed I took the stop and he actually turned too when he had the chance and as I was getting to the door of my work, I see him turn the corner and he spotted my car and turned back and stopped to write down my license plates number and when he saw me he started yelling 'I got you! I got you! I'm gonna report you!' I was just like 'Yeah you go ahead and do that!' and started laughing lol! He didn't have proof so what are they gonna do?
Actually later on that day I had to go to the DMV and saw this older man that kinda looked like him staring at me a lot, so who knows and maybe that was him! lol! Still what a butt hole.

That happens to me all the time,it's annoying and you can also see them clearly not looking at what they are doing(talking on cell phones,talking to thier friend while looking at thier friend,looking towards the sidewalks,etc.)

Then sell your car and use trains, metros and stuffs like that. Those people will surely find someone alike to themselves and at this time they will kill each other. Just stay away from traffic and let their stupidity to sort them out in who will live and who will die. I always think that stupid people should live with stupid people and normal people will live with normal people. That will always cause the number of stupid people to decrease.
