I'm not a road rage guy, but I'm getting sick and tired of waiting for people who are starring at their cell phones at stop lights. Light turns green and don't even have enough peripheral vision to see a moving vehicle. They just sit there and I have to smash on my horn to make them go. Then they get pis*ed off at me. Everyday at a long turn light I'm yelling in my truck "GO!" #*$#**. When they do go and turn, some are still starring at their phone after the turn, and it's on Cooper St. in Arlington. Help me Lord.

It’s the same a stupid azzes in the left lane with a line of cars behind them. When you finally can go around, loads of cars drive around them in the right lane and they don’t have enough common sense to realize they’re holding everybody behind them up and move over. What pisses me off the lost is when you gonna t them they get mad at you and flip you off!

The best is the ones that do have peripheral vision and notice the cars to their left going, so they go and rear-end the car in front of them. The lane to the left is a left turn lane with a green arrow and they're in the straight lane still with a red light.

There is a light when I leave work that only lets 3 to 4 cars through and that’s if the cars start moving right when it turns green. It’s gotten so bad that I just lay on the horn the second it turns green.

What pisses me off the lost is when you gonna t them they get mad at you and flip you off! I believe most left lane azzhats know what exactly what they are doing- I have an inlaw that is proud of doing that, says people should leave earlier- He is a Richard in general so this is no surprise- The “class monitor” when the teacher is out kind of guy.
What has happed to you does not define who you are-
HOW you react to what happens to you DOES!

The lane to the left is a left turn lane with a green arrow and they're in the straight lane still with a red light. Saw this first-hand in Plano at a traffic light a few weeks ago. Guy plowed right into the car in front of him when the cars in the left turn lane next to him started to go. I was right next to him. Couldn't believe it. Had the dumbest look on his face as I pulled away.
You are not a good or nice person.

That's why they call them bumpers!

that, coupled with the cars that have to restart their engines before they take off, has slowed things at stoplights for sure!

Ha ha . . . 1st world city problems. My only issue is waiting for the neighbor's dogs to get out of the road where they love to sleep. I do have the option of running over them though.
Advice? Wise men don't need it. Fools won't heed it.

I've become "unhinged" at stop lights. I'm getting mad right now just thinking about it. ...! ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2021/07/full-81973-102680-unhinged_trailer.png)

I do have the option of running over them though. yep, dogs n tractors with the occasional beyond old driver. there is one guy that does 10 mph in a 55 that everyone runs 60 in, surprised a non local has not run him over yet. dude looks like he could be mid 90s.
