That isn't even the same scenario the line is designed to be a feeder line. It doesn't matter though because my movie theater has all individual lines where everyone stands in their own. No one is debating the merits of a feeder-line system, we saying you can't just create on on the fly and expect others to follow suit.

This.

I honked at a lady who was texting today as she drifted into my lane. I'm in a fucking Tahoe....its kinda hard to miss me. She jerked her head around all surprised, got pissed and honked her horn back. This while we're doing 70 down the highway.

That's right, she was actually pissed at me for interrupting her text. I'm telling you guys, I don't see myself getting another motorcycle for the street...the distractions are getting worse and worse...

Not this one! I pick an aisle and a parking space, usually farther out and I still can get into the store quicker than those that get a front row spot.

And porkchop - I would have done the same thing that girl did to you all the while cussing you out. The difference would have been me not rolling my window up, but down so you could hear me speak my mind.

Why would you be mad at me? At that point I didnt hold her up, she went to the front of the line. Thats the premise of the whole story.... her not waiting....

That's some bs, but I'm not the least bit surprised. I've done the same, as long as there aren't long lines.

On a slightly related topic, just to show the idiocy of people and how they don't understand lines...

When I used to eat McDonald's, they had two drive-thru lanes side by side, although the lanes didn't split until about 4 cars back from the order point. Amazingly, the vast majority of people either didn't know about the outside lane, or blindly followed the guy behind them and stayed at the inside lane. There would be a line of 10-15 cars in the "feeder" lane. I'd pull around all of them and there were only 2 cars for the outside lane, but the guy at the front of the feeder would wait for the inside lane, as would everyone behind him, just like a bunch of lemmings. Invariably, 2 or 3 people would pull out of the feeder lane and follow me, but only AFTER they saw someone else go. I'm not waiting just because other people can't figure out what to do.

I see your point, but for me it's not about holding me up, it's about not making a decision.

I used to do this on one of the exit ramps when I'd go to school. I'd get way over to the left side of the single lane because I knew it would split into two.

Huh? He did make a decision, he decided to do the smart thing and wait for the line that opened up first.

Yup, and it seems that there was a tacit agreement from a couple of other drivers to do the same. That makes Miz Thang an arrogant, self absorbed piece of shit.
