[ QUOTE ]
-When driving, and I get to an intersection, that has stop signs every way, at approximately the same time as another driver on the cross street, sometimes after I wave them through, the car right behind them just goes right on through without stopping (WTF?). [/ QUOTE ] I hate it when I get to a stop sign at the same time as another car and b/c I am not in any big hurry I decide to wave the guy through. The guy is looking right at me like an idiot and doesn't move even though I am motioning for him to drive. Well, since he won't go I figure someone needs to so I step on the gas and it never fails, as soon as I go it is like something triggers in their pea brain in which they too have to go. We both stop again, rinse repeat, wtf! |

FWIW, if someone at a four-way stop clearly has the right-of-way, I will usually ignore their offer to go first. I think this has to do with my driver ed training from twenty-five years ago. |

Tie always goes to the right at a 4 way, since they have the "right" of way.

Ray [/ QUOTE ] When two cars get to a 4-way intersection at the same time, the car on the right has the right-of-way. I assume that most people know basic traffic rules. |

t and others,
Another point re: apps, if it was really good and other people want some more too, it's easy to order more. Smart orderers can recognize this situation in advance and handle proactively! |

I'll second people who don't make an effort to move out of the way in a confined area when its obvious I am try to make my way through politely.
Normally I just grumble to myself and try to squeeze by because I am a timid puss but today I was at the airport and late for a flight and I completely plowed into an [censored] who didn't move out of the way. It felt great. This guy was standing in a doorway facing me as I was trying to get through with two large boxes under my arms. I said "excuse me" as I got near but he didn't move and my right arm with the box underneath it shoved into him and I didn't look back. I don't know why that type of thing gets me so much except for that when I notice someone coming my way that need to fit through I make an effort to get out of the way. Its common courtesy in my opinion. |
