Rude

There is something wrong with New York drivers. I used to think it was only New York City, but I have to include the whole state.

3 situations.

I am in the left lane. On my right is a turn only lane. There is a car in front of me and a bus on my right. The light turns green. The bus proceeds straight ahead. The car in front of me lets him go. I am thinking, "wow, a courteous driver". Then the truth is revealed as he MAKES A RIGHT TURN.

As I am still reeling from this, I turn onto a street where a car is parked in the right lane, and in the oncoming lane some dummkopf has decided to stop and chat with his friend across the street DIRECTLY OPPOSITE parked car, blocking the road. I sit quietly, as I was in an area where one DOES NOT honk, gesture or get out of the car. Eventually, this wonderful human being decides to move, and even gives ME a dirty look.

Then yesterday I am in Brooklyn. One way street. A cab is double parked. Another car decides that the BEST POSSIBLE PLACE to stop is RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM, but double parking the other side of the street, effectively blocking the whole street. I actually put the car in park and got out to see what the deal was. Fortunately for me, before I could let the driver have it for being beyond rude, I saw an elderly woman getting out of the car.

I just got back in to my car, not wanting to seem uncaring and unfeeling, but couldn't help wondering why she couldn't have PULLED IN THE THE HOUSE DRIVEWAY to let the passenger out.
