By the same token, if you let someone cut in line, you are holding up traffic behind you. So it is not ok to let people cut in line by your own logic.

[p01s0n]

when you let that person in, you minimize the blockage.

when you don't let them in, and the person behind you doesn't, and the person behind them, and behind them, and maybe even behind them doesn't either - how long is the other lane blocked up for?

just because some clown wants to 'teach them a lesson'.

You've been itching to say that and because no one is really that mad, you've just blown your load anyway. Mad fail.

[CCS]

Oh also, traffic fail, lol.

[doppelgänger of someone]

If the other lane is blocked because of that clown (and that clown doesn't feel embarrassed enough to stop trying to cut in), then I may consider letting him. But as a general rule of thumb, I don't let those kind of cunts in, it just encourages them to do it again soon.

[madmaxii]

I'm with that long named guy.

[xor]

I speed up and slow down to prevent those fuckers from cutting in.

*drives past and honks horn, thinks to self "hehheheh dumbass got what he deserved*

[CCS]

If you think it's to do with territory then no wonder you don't get it.

Because both situations are the same

[Jamiepo]

If I am the one that has picked the wrong lane I never block it off and try and get into the other lane I would feel way to ambarassed to do that I just follow the lane until I can get back into the right flow of traffic, IE off at the next ramp accross the bridge and back on into the correct flow of traffic. I learn my lesson and pick the correct lane the next time. 9 times out of 10 it's not someone mistakenly picking the wrong lane it's someone who thinks they deserve to cue jump cause their commute is much more important than everyone elses.

[ChaosWulf]

Huh. Most days I'll let the person in, figure that if they need to be somewhere that much faster than the rest of us mere mortals, then it's probably best that they're as far away from me as possible.
... however on a bad day I'm the asshole that'll pull into the middle of the road to stop the queue jumper from passing.

[TheBender]

Not sure if I'm one of the few, but if "I'm new to the area" and find myself needing to cut into a long queue of cars after I realised I was in the wrong lane, then I kinda have a small chuckle (oops, got that one wrong), go with the lane I'm in and sort it out after I've gone the wrong direction.

Sure, a few times I've ended up on a motorway going the wrong direction until the next exit - but that's the price for being a noob I guess.

Guess it's because of the rage I get when people do the maneuver from the pic on the last page.

To me, there's no reason at all to try and get in at the head of the queue - new to the area or not.

If they're new, and got caught out then it's still a wanky thing to do. If they're not new, the add aresholery to the start of it.

[Spink]

wtf I clicked the Pic of the day thread 3 times before I realised I wasn't accidentally misclicking GMG thread.

If people get close to being up to speed in in a merging lane going into freely flowing traffic I will create a gap for them if it's not there already, because they're doing it right and making them brake is arseness.

If traffic is crawling I let them in if they start indicating and sit at the earliest point in the merging lane, because they aren't trying to queue jump. If they are trying to queue jump it depends on my mood and the state of things. I don't want to punish anyone but the queue-jumper, but they need a smack on the nose.

Situations like that diagram it depends on the road markings and conditions. If other cars have been sitting on them, blocking them from view or if it's rainy and the road is as shiny as the paint I will generally let the queue jumper in, but if it's clear what the lanes are for I block the bastards.

[StN]

I don't think the thing in CCS's diagram is called queue jumping...

it kinda lols me that people get mad about this kind of stuff, i do it all the time but i have never suffered from road rage from other people doing it. just dont care.

[chiQ]

It's more a matter of deterring bad behaviour than raging. Make it difficult for arse-wipes so they might think twice next time, and less pointless accidents occur. Merging and changing lanes correctly is safer.

[CCS]

If some skinny little fuck with no shirt ever tries to push in front of me, I'm gonna jump out and tip his car over.

That's because you are apparently a complete and utter fuckwit on the road who should quite frankly just do everyone a favour and stick to using public transport.

There's two reasons for doing this 'all the time'. Reason 1. You're an arrogant twat. Reason 2. You are genuinely devoid of the ability to forward plan. Both reasons should render you incapable of holding a license. In closing.

What the earth would look like when it stops spinning.

www.esri.com/news/arcuser/0610/nospin.html

Most scientists agree that the solar day (related to the speed of rotation) is continuously getting longer. This minimal increase of the day length is due mainly to the oceanic tidal friction. When the estimated rate of the slowdown was projected back to past geologic eons, it showed that the length of a day was several hours shorter than today.

The slowdown of earth's rotation will continue for 4 billion years—as long as we can imagine. The slowdown infinitesimally—but steadily—changes the globe's geometry and makes it dynamic. The net result of these dynamic adjustments is that the earth is slowly becoming more and more like a sphere. However, it will take billions of years before the earth stops spinning, and the gravitational equipotential creates a mean sea level that is a perfect sphere.

[zeekiorage]

This is not going to happen because God would give Earth a nudge when the day length reaches 25 hours.

I thought Dan did Mr Burns, I remember his intro on the Actors Studio thing, where each of his characters said hello, and specifically remember Mr Burns.

Stupid memory

Cool pic though. I've always wondered if Yeardley gets paid the same as everyone else, since they'd be fucked if they had to write out Lisa, even though she only does one voice.

From that picture it looks that Auckland would be OK, so thats all we need!

Not quite a "skinny little fuck with no shirt" but had a guy from Shortland street, .. fuck knows what his character/whatever name is
This cunt:


Zipped infront of the queue (same thing as above but more cunt!) when the lights were changing (eg ... oh hey one person was semi slow .. so I'll zip in and steal a spot!!)..

Guy behind him got out of his car (since the lights changed just as he did this and was at the front of the queue) ... dude from shortland street filled his under pants and staring bitching out something fierce.

I think 4 billion years of continental drift will change the layout a bit.

It's also possible that the car in the left lane may have turned left onto the road further back than you can see, and been unable to find a gap.

If you are paying close attention to what all the other moving objects around you are doing then it's pretty easy to find a gap when somebody else doesn't accelerate fast enough or whatever.

Don't hate on the drivers that have the situational awareness to exploit the road rules to their advantage.

yeah its really not dangerous unless you have no spatial awareness and just plow onto the car next to you.
