I see inconsiderate people every single morning, and I’d go as far to say as this is the most inconsiderate place I have lived. Here in Cardiff at the Birmingham corner of I-5, traffic backs up getting onto the 5 from the east side. The problem there is a side street where people are coming from dropping kids off at school. Since it isn’t a 4-way stop, most people sitting on B’-ham allow one car the opportunity to get into the lane. Note that they don’t have to, most just choose to.

I am always amused at the people who “choose” not to let one car in, as I like to stare to see what they look like. The tailgate so close that nobody can fit in between, and they refuse to make eye contact. They are in essecnce saying F-U with their automobile, because it’s blatantly selfish.

These anal-types who are “techinically accurate” that they are not required to let anyone in, are probably SOX auditors or some such job. I just can’t imagine being a little weasel like that.

At the same time, I still do not like people who refuse to keep up with traffic as it picks up. That doesn’t mean I stalk them or taunt them, I just get away from, and preferably, in front of them. There is a point where “being safe” becomes inconsiderate. I might come off like a rude person, but I always let cars in coming from the on-ramp.

You want to see rude and inconsiderate go to the fairgrounds sometime.
