HA! Yes. I was pulling into a parking lot and there is a line to get into the Chick Filet drive-thru. So, I pulled into the left of the line to pull in. This lady pulls right out in front of me (I guess she decided not to wait any more)... I stopped to avoid denting her door into her. She then gives me this gesture. My only thought was... "Yes, I am so sorry that you pulled out in front of me. It won't happen again." Apparenlty I wasn't supposed to be there but I guess it was ok if she was. (She didn't look at all and should have been happy she was able to flail her arms and mouth something at me. If I hadn't noticed her bone headed move she would have been waiting for an ambulance perhaps.)

When I go home the highway entrance ramp I use enters the highway from the right side. The speed limit there is 50 and I am usually going 55-60 and can't ever pull over because everyone is flying by me on the right. Then I have people behind me flashing their ligts at me like they wanted to pass me. ARGH.
Oh, at one place during my road trip we got to one of those "lane shift" places due to construction. The lanes have SOLID white lines. The guy behing me evidently didn't care that the construction speed limit was 50 and even though I was going all most 60 he was flashing his lights at me because he wanted to pass. SORRY, you do know what SOLID white lines mean, don't you?
There are many times I WISH for that cannon.
