He's pissed at me and says "didn't you see my turn signal". I asked "didn't you see that f'ing sign a few miles back that the right lane was closing?"
I used to live in near an intersection where 2 lanes merged about ⅛ mile from the light (right lane ended, merging to the left). One day I saw what I assume with a 60 something year old man in a pick up truck, and a mom in a minivan that was probably in her 30s duke it out so that when they got to the single lane bit, the old man had his right side wheels in the grass not far from the ditch on that side, and the woman had 2 wheels over the centerline in the oncoming lane. I was shocked, and thought they both should have been old enough and mature enough to know better.
