anyways, it is SUPER horrible !!


on to my own annoyance of the day....
scenario: 2 lights, 1 block apart.
get stopped at first light, while waiting for it to turn, I watch 2nd light turn red.
so first light turns green, and I just give it enough speed to coast to the next light, and my timing would have been perfect to not have to even hit the brakes, I could have put it into 3rd and just rolled right through, except....
some asshat behind me decides they want to be at the light before me (remember, we're talking 1 block apart...) so they and a 2nd vehicle decide to go around me, then cut in front of me, just to slam their brakes to stop, also forcing me to have to slam my brakes to avoid hitting them. of course, at this time, the light turns green, so just as I am forced to come to a complete stop, I then have to start off in 1st... and THEN the very same person who hotdogged to get in front of me, proceeds to only go 20mph !
(spd limit is 50mph !)
I kid you not, a Semi in the other lane accelerated faster and up to the spd limit.
I thought that I must have done something to piss them off at some point of the drive from the town 23 miles to the N, which is where I first encountered this vehicle, but nothing stands out at all.
