Driving Rant

Everyday, twice, sometimes three times, a day I drive through he same intersection.
There are four lanes. Two go straight and two turn left- TWO turn left! I mostly turn from a center lane, not the far left lane, but both are left turn lanes- both of them!

Twice a week, at least, someone in the far left lane turns left and immediately cuts me off and comes into my turn lane. I'm very careful, because I know to expect this, but after this happening over and over again, I have begun to beep my horn. I assume most of the people are like me and follow the same route day after day and they need to realize that they are cutting me off and causing a potential accident.

So today, this morning, it happens again. Feeling particularly frustrated that this occurs all the time I laid on the horn. This is what horns are for, yes? I admit I held it probably a bit longer than necessary, but the little toots don't seem to be cutting it.

The driver responds by going into the far right lane rolling down his window and yelling at me while flipping me the bird- I roll my window down shaking my head back and forth and hold up- clearly- two fingers and yell back (you know, so he could hear me...) "there are two lanes, two, that turn, you came into my lane and could have caused an accident". He continues to flip me off and says "yeah, your horn looks real nice, stick it up your ass". We are at the next stop light by now and stopped right next to each other. I repeat- "sir, there are two turn lanes you veered into mine when you turned- it could cause an accident". He "Fuck off, you and your horn".

Now, the light is green. I shake my head and move on... What the hell???
