Why do thing like this?

Absolute psycho decided to cut a full lane of traffic to cut me off. Completely insane. I’m from Michigan and we don’t do things like this.
What the hell is wrong with all of you? In a state that’s known for being armed and aggressive why would you not drive like the other person would give no thought to ending you? This is a frail old woman trying to cut in front of me here with 0 right of way. Completely aware she is in the wrong. Is there something in the water that makes people angry, stupid and rude?

We never know if someone’s rudeness is emergent, urgent, clueless, or fear. Maybe she left the store and parking lot because she had a scary family call, had an accident in the store, or an arse who voted for Nazis.
We’ll just never know.
I’m glad you weren’t armed and reckless.

“Cut you off” lmao. It’s stop and go traffic. Who knows how long she waited for someone to let her in. Sometimes you gotta make your own room if no one else lets you in. Try being a better person and just let them in instead of bitching about being “cut off” on the internet. Welcome to Texas.

You can’t be serious. I watched her leave the parking lot moments before this. And even then, you don’t get the right of way because you “waited a long time”.
What is drivers training like here? Did they tell you guys that if you’ve waited a long time you can cut everyone off? Why not wait in the left hand lane with your turn signal on? You know? The thing that lets people know you want to move direction?

No, you don’t have to let them in. It’s just called being nice. Something you should learn while you’re down here.

When you’re at a restaurant do you let someone take your food without asking in the sake of politeness or do you at least want them to ask? There’s a way to request things and parking your SUV across a full lane of traffic isn’t one of them. Maybe you’re the one who needs a courtesy lesson

Lmao what a terrible comparison. Buddy, you obviously have problems. Calling a woman psychotic and insane for trying to merge into traffic is a complete overreaction. Just take a deep breath and relax a little. It’s not the end of the world and certainly not worth posting about.
Anthrax_enjoyer@reddit (OP)
Lol. I can’t tell if this is trolling or just stupidity at this point. You understand what a merge looks like right? Because it’s not whatever this is. My interaction with you have really shed light on the logic behind your average driver here. Have a great day buddy and stay off the road.

I also grew up in Michigan, and driving here is insane. It's just treated as a normal aspect of the area unfortunately. I've been honked at for stopping on yellow and not running reds way too many times. Just be careful out there and pay attention.

People drive offensively because no one drives defensively, and it compounds.
Was there a light in front of you but it was backed up behind you? That might be one reason, she literally got sick of waiting for new lead car after new lead car to pull up and leave no space for someone obviously waiting on the opposite side of traffic to pull into.
I'm just providing one theory, 99% chance she's just an asshole like everyone else. This is why I'm glad I don't drive much anymore. It was bad when I was a daily commuter and somehow, like a drunk, DFW continues to find new rock bottoms.

I have lived here my entire life and fully agree with you. People here are complete morons and have no respect or sense of responsibility or decency behind the wheel.

I thought you were referring to limiting your windshield visibility.
Anthrax_enjoyer@reddit (OP)
I get it but the angle makes it look a lot worse than it already is.
Sanchastayswoke@reddit
I think you answered your own question. Frail old woman. Maybe shouldn’t be driving anymore, clearly doing unsafe things.
