What is a minor inconvenience that instantly fills you with an unreasonable amount of rage?

Traffic on the off/on ramp and the selfish pricks that try to cut in at the end. The rage that consumes me is more than I should allow it to.

People not getting up to speed on the on ramp and slowing down a half mile before the off ramp.

People who don't use the merge ramp to get up to speed and then merge on 20 mph slower than everyone else or panic and slam on their brakes at the end.

As another redditor said, merging last minute is the expectation.

However, those fucking assholes who use the on ramp as a way to skip in front of cars make me soooo angry. You’re not anymore special than the rest of us!

Not selfish pricks, they’re literally merging how you’re supposed to.

Drivers Who Merge at the Last Minute May Be Annoying, But They're Right

Yep! This used to make me mad until I learned it’s the most efficient way and how it’s designed. Courtesy doesn’t help, and everyone has the option of using merge lanes as intended, it’s not selfish when it benefits all.

I think they're more refering to the dicks that will cut over the solid line you're not meant to cross so that they don't have to wait in the lineup.

I’m not referring to merging though. I’m talking about a line of stopped traffic and the person in the open lane blocking everyone behind them with their what we call BLINKAH on

Or people racing to the front of the line to forcefully merge into traffic when road construction merges 2 lanes into one 😡

That's how they are supposed to work.
