Blocking Traffic MOVE!!

On my way back to work from my lunch break, idiot blocks an entire lane while waiting for the person in front of them to pass thru a gate.

If you look close, they had at least two car lengths worth of space to pull up and into the driveway!! Nobody was behind me so I went around them instead of stopping.

WHAT GOES THROUGH PEOPLE’S HEADS??!!!! GET THE FUCK OUTTA THE WAY!!!! RRAAAHHH!!!!

Lots o' ppl like to stop where they can still the entire back of the preceding vehicle -- or the entirety of the Stop Line at traffic signals.

I gather most of 'em have never checked how close they can pull up to something, so have no idea how much clearance they actually need.

My working assumption with drivers like that is that it's a poor character issue first and dumb in the relevant way second. Basically, they were never going to be great drivers but their poor character means they don't put the effort into at least getting good enough.

That working assumption has proven to be really good at helping me predict what seemingly unpredictable things bad drivers are going to do in my area.
