When driving around Western Washington, drivers here constantly cause my pet peeve light go off allot. Well, this morning while driving into work, it happened. Several times by the same inconsiderate driver. Obviously someone working at the same company that I work at. Here's what this moron did.

First pet peeve violation today: Blocking Intersections. I hate when people block intersections, so much so that I really try hard to avoid it and feel really embarrassed when I end up blocking someone. This morning, while approaching an intersection that people were blocking, I stopped at the intersection to wait for the intersection to clear. Now, obviously there's a space between me and the next car while I'm waiting for it to clear the intersection. If I were to pull forward, I'd be blocking the intersection. Well, some yahoo driving in a Sebring comes flying out of the left lane and merges right into my lane, in front of me, in the intersection. So, not only does he block the intersection, he does so after making an illegal lane change. I honked and let him know of my disapproval.

"That's it?" you ask. No, that's not it. Now, the reason traffic is backed up so much that one of the lanes blocks the intersection is because it's the right turning lane for another intersection a 100 yards down the road. Obviously people try to merge into the right lane from the left lane. Well, someone tries to do just this, a car or two in front of this Sebring. You would think that the guy driving the Sebring would let the other car in, but no. He's too busy climbing up the tailpipe of the car in front of him. So I let the other car in.

Naturally, he pulls into one of the company parking lots, so he's obviously working for the same company.  Apparently he's much more important than I am.
