Thank you!
What's even weirder is I pass this ten times a week and never noticed it.

I appreciate the work they try to do in the community, and SPD has generally been a class act when I deal with them. But police culture in general and my experience would indicate that if they do not know then they just do not care to know and there are no repercussions anyway even if they did. It is a relatively minor gripe I realize. But I do hold public servants to a higher standard than joe blow meth head.

Totally unrelated but which Walmart is this?
My job has me going to multiple Walmarts and it just doesn't look familiar. Maybe it's the angle

More like they just do not care because there is no penalty for them breaking the law like that.

The turn lane is NOT for you to pull out into. It is for traffic to get out of the way of others while waiting to make a left-hand turn. Those meth heads using it to do a left into traffic need to learn how to drive.

Playing Mad Max Fury Road and speed matching someone that is in the turn lane and intentionally not letting them merge is dumb. That is matching dumb energy, and no one wins. It only increases the likelihood that a wreck will occur. John Q. Public is not going to make that person change their driving habits by sticking it to ‘em. OP even said that they were flipped off… nothing like pissing off a stupid person who demonstrates they aren’t capable of making a rational decision.

For DIY types, Best Buy is the only real option. Back in 2019 Microcenter told me they were planning an expansion in this area. Then Covid hit and that was canceled. NewEgg has been good to me for online ordering.

I hear you and I think you must not be familiar with this area. I drive it daily and OP is 100% right. Why should OP accommodate a poor drivers skills? They are not at fault..at all. Stepping on brakes and letting them in creates a situation where the other driver continues to think they are in the right. They are not and what they are doing is unsafe. Taking the next light down didn't make a difference in OP day. You must be a middle lane merger.

It’s just like those that expect you to yield when they are coming on to James River from a on ramp. Yes I will be considered and move over if possible but I will not slam on my brakes so u can get on the highway. Yield people

Fuck the naysayers, I would wreck my truck before I would let that asshole in. I like how people pull out in front of you and you have to slam on your brakes and not a person behind you. People like that piss me off. Awhile back, the police were giving tickets for driving in the turn lane.

Tired of waiting SB Campbell approaching Sunshine and Campbell and turning left? Just speed in the turn lane along Campbell while it knowing there is a left turn section onto University before the turn lane. If I see these morons I always go a couple clicks to the left so they can’t slide between lane traffic and my turn lane…making them have to wait longer.

If you have any friends in the restaurant industry that work in the kitchen, find out when they're getting their food order and to not break the boxes. I swear these are some of the best moving boxes.

Oh no shit? Ha, you have no idea how awesome that is to hear. Because usually no one even knows who I'm even talking about anymore, and I swear the 90s were NOT that long ago. They couldn't be, right? Hmm...

Uh ikr. Between people driving in the turning lanes, not using blinkers, and running red lights, this town has the worst drivers.

I've noticed this pattern to, and it's always when there's no one behind me, free and clear for miles. It's some impulse to be in front of someone, and they'll be in a hurry to pull out in front of me, then drive 5-10 under the limit.
There's no one behind me, every single time. They could've waited 3 seconds for me to pass, then pull into the lane.

This is probably what I should have done. I only even shared this bc I was upset that I got the finger. Was kind of having a shitty day and that made it worse. So I went out to seek validation. Alas. Lol
