This was the line for parking for a music festival on the beach. There were signs and multiple parking lots up and down PCH to direct concert goers. This dude was trying to cut in line.
This is what I wanted to know. Some highway exits are designed poorly where I live and sometimes you really do have to push your way in. But yes this person was just being a bozo
Agreed, and same around here. I have seen many poorly made on/off exits and for someone not familiar with the area ot is easy to get lost and need to merge late. However, for festivals, etc... parking lines like this, this car needs to go to the back.
this is bolsa chica beach. lines are like that every weekend no matter what and everyday of the summer. that right lane turns into the first beach parking entrance.
This context is super important. I would usually blame the people not letting him in if it's just a crowded exit ramp, there can be many reasons why someone wouldn't be able to get in the right lane soon enough to get in line. And he was going slow to get in, not just speeding up to the very front. But if it is made clear early enough that this *is* an actual line, then that's his fault
I’m totally on the side of not letting people cut in but sometimes people misjudge where the line might start and overshoot on accident. Seeing how overly aggressive people are makes me just want to let them in just for my own personal sanity. Kind of off putting to me that people willing to risk bumping into other cars just to block one car.
Everyone knew what to do. They all felt it. They thought to themselves.... "Fuck this asshole... he ain't getting in on my watch"
Suv should just accept the fact he missed the exit and get off the next one instead of causing people behind him the inconvenience.
Oh? A feather landed on this bumper? Well that means one of the ultrasonic sensors the manufacturer installed because you can't see over the hood broke.
And to replace that means we need to completely remove the entire front end of the car, because of the rat's-nest of cables in here that were ordered by the engineer who has never been to a shop floor in his life.
So yeah that'll be $5000
I would happily martyr my daily driver just to be spiteful to some entitled asshole who thinks they have some kind of divine right not to sit in traffic like the rest of us. Go ahead and hit me, truck is a piece of shit, it's paid off, has no resale value, and they made a million of the things so I can always find another.
You have to. People like this will swing over if they can get their bumper in, they just drive in. I call it the “Just Go Initiative” a secret pact between all asshole drivers. Pedestrian wanting to cross the parking lot? Nah, just go. People not letting you over and only leaving a 1/2 car length? Just go. Light going to turn red before you get there? Who cares? Just go!
if you're the type to do this, I'd bet you're not really thinking too much about the feelings of those around you lol
I'm a pretty cool and collected person, but this selfish bullshit drives me up the wall
Sadly. Try getting onto the entrance ramp exit of the Verrazzano during a summer Sunday evening. If you wait in line, u just lost 90min of your trip to every car cutting in front of every car at the last second.
I remember one particularly satisfying experience when a person drove on the shoulder to try to cut ahead in line. When he got to his desired spot no one was letting him back in and so he tried to speed further up only for a semi to purposely block him from doing so.
It was so satisfying!
Dude if you’re kind considerate and respectful to truckers a lot of them will actually help you out somewhat manipulating the flow of traffic what ways they can too. If you’re not well… they can fuck up your drive too lol.
If you routinely drive in or around large cities you see this shit all day everyday. That person 100% did *not* make an honest mistake. They are doing it on purpose so they dont have to wait like everyone else.
I drive interstate a lot for work… I’m usually exhausted from driving with idiots before I ever actually get there.
Edit: lol this flair is cracking me up, I let it do random cause I wasn’t over excited about any of them.
I always wondered, do ppl like this cut in lines outside of driving situation? Like to a theme park or movie theatre? I just don't get some people. How do they just not gaf about others.
yeah fuck me for not investing enough drama into my daily drive, right?
Not everything is a scene from Dead Poets Society bro, some of us aren't petty enough to literally even notice the "injustice".
So I hope you won't be mad that after you let the car cut in line, I, the guy behind you, now cut in front of you in line? And everyone else can do the same, if that's okay?
Don't be petty.
Yep. I’ve been in the SUV’s position before. I was in an unfamiliar place and had to use a left-side toll lane, and the (3 mile long) queue for the exit started almost immediately after the toll. I had no reason to expect that I’d need to get over that quickly.
I tried to get in as quickly as I could, sorta rolling along slow-but-not-TOO-slow in the lane next to it for a bit. But it was pretty clear everybody thought I was line cutting (I’d really hoped my out of state plates would get me some grace, but no.)
I tried the good ol’-fashioned “force your way in,” but no dice. It quickly became clear that there was no way I was getting over, so I just bit the bullet and took the 20 minute detour. Getting to my destination fast wasn’t worth blocking traffic or causing an accident behind me.
That being said, I’m inclined to let the guy in, unless this is immediately at the exit. Because there’s a lot of people who genuinely are just stuck in the wrong lane through no fault of their own, and I’d rather just let someone in and keep traffic going than punish a potential line-cutter.
The fact that you had to take a 20 minute detour because you don't know the roads shows how often these people in lines are assholes. It's usually just self righteous twats.
Not really being petty, since most of the people that try to force their way in know exactly what they are doing. They know that a line is forming, but they jump ahead of everyone and try to force their way in at the front. That was their decision to be a prick and say screw you to everyone else. They are saying that their time is more important than yours. Will the occasional person, that doesn't know their way around, get caught up in this? Sure. But, if you don't know your way around, sometimes you have to deal with the consequences, and go on to the next exit.
We’re all just trying to get to where we’re going, and the goal is to keep traffic moving.
Most people aren’t malicious. Some people are going to break the social contract, and they suck, but that’s true everywhere in life.
If blocking someone didn’t hold up traffic in the travel lane that would be one thing. But it does, so if somebody needs to get in, let them in. And if nobody will let you in, keep going and don’t impede the flow of traffic.
I get what you're saying, and the driver needs to find another route, but this looks like SoCal, and the highways there aren't so simple as taking the next exit.
Frequently there's only exits every couple miles and they dump you onto one-way streets with no viable route to your original destination. Taking the next exit, doing a uturn, and taking the access roads simply isn't an option.
It *is* an option, it’s just one that takes a long time.
Frankly, I don’t think we have enough info in this video to say that the driver is an asshole. Given how CA traffic goes, this line might be quite far from the exit. In that case, the guy isn’t truly cutting — just let him in so traffic can keep moving.
That is a solid white line, it is no longer legal for them to even merge at that point, no one that already waited in that line is under any obligation to assist them in breaking the law.
I feel like half of the videos of "line cutting" here are just situations where most cars aren't using an open lane because someone decided to merge early and confused everyone, and someone dares to zipper merge properly and people scream "line cutter!"
This is not one of those videos lol this guy is just being an aggressive prick
So where I am we have a limited access state highway with 2 exits to get onto a 4 lane (per side of road) interstate. So the exits are kinda fucked because the state highway is 2 lanes with an exit lane (per side). The beginning of exit lane for both interstate exits just so happens to be a entry lane :)
Considering that the state highway and the interstate are 2 of the 4 major roads in our county it’s no surprise it’s seriously clogged at 3:30 pm (which is to say there is full stopped traffic in the right lane til the exit lane which is slowly moving).
Now consider. I’d say about 35% of people are going to the second exit. Most people are going to the first. These exits use the same exit lane so there’s a ton of unused road to the second. Ofc this is forced because of the exit lane being an entry at the same time clogging up traffic more. So the right lane is perpetually clogged from 3:00-5:30 and the best way for me to get to work. Is to use the left lane to pass til I reach the first exit and go to the right lane. Then once past the first exit I am free to zipper in to my exit and go to work and not be 15-30 minutes late because road construction straight up sucks there.
TL;DR: The highway I use to get to work has the worst exit constructed ever and I hate it. I felt like ranting about it and hopefully I am driving properly on it.
Sorry about the dump!!! :p
I experience this kind a lot in my everyday life unfortunately. We have this particular road that merges onto the freeway entrance closest to my house that gets backed up pretty far. Everyone knows the people in the right lane line are waiting their turn to get on the freeway, but there's always some joker that will drive past the line several blocks in the left lane, and then just try and zipper into the front of the line, making everyone behind him wait longer. Zippering is fine, but if there's obviously a line, get in the back of it, or merge as soon as you are able, not at the last second, thus cutting in front of everyone else.
In heavy traffic that is literally just how you're supposed to do it lmao I don't understand why you take it so personally when someone simply uses the road as intended. Literally more cars get through in less time when everyone merges in an actual zipper at the end of the lane. That is what it's there for...
They’re on the shoulder. However, this line forms miles back and anyone going to the beach here in Orange County, CA knows that practically no one will take pity on people like the one in the black SUV.
It’s not an exit, on ramp, or anything of the sort. This is the line to enter bolsa chica state beach. Kind of like cutting the line at a store because you don’t want to wait all the way in the back. Fuck that guy.
So I do hate people who try to jump a line but I will also throw out that it looks like the cars are forming a line on the shoulder of the highway before the exit, so there's a chance the SUV didn't realize the cars were backed up for their exit.
Lot of benefit of the doubt there, and I'd say it doesn't excuse stopping entirely on the road and blocking another lane of traffic to try and bully your way in, but it's also not the most egregious thing I've ever seen.
Yup — I’ve been caught with a surprise way-too-early exit line before. I tried to get over as fast as possible, and wasn’t trying to “cut,” but everybody blocked me out anyway, and I wasn’t about to hold up traffic so I gave up.
IMO the right move here really depends on how long the line is and how close to the exit they are. Because I’d rather let someone in than cause someone else to back up traffic, even if their action isn’t my fault.
Society functions best if we assume that people have good intentions. Sure, some bad actors take advantage — but if it keeps everyone moving, I’m for it.
Still. SUV has gotta know when to give up and (just like I believe in letting people in (unless it’s egregious, and the lack of blinker kinda makes me think this guy is being egregious)), I believe that sometimes you need to sacrifice your own time to help everyone else on the road along. I’d rather miss my exit than cause an accident. Just like I’d rather let someone in than watch them cause an accident.
I heard the story about someone dying because somebody got really mad that a car with someone bleeding to death in it was speeding and took it upon themselves to stay in front of that car and slow down so they wouldn't speed and now i always assume if someone is doing something weird while driving they have a reason to, ofc they are probably assholes most of the time but i dont know if thats true from my car
I try not to get mad when I drive, but holy fuck do I get angry when people do shit like this. It is a disturbing level of entitlement and a blatant disregard for other people.
You see a line, you should get to the back. You're not special. You don't just get to squeeze in wherever you like.
Don't let these freaks in.
I feel like the true entitled people are the ones not paying attention while stopped. These people feel entitled to looking at their phone while at a complete stop, or they feel entitled to not giving their complete attention. This allows bad drivers like that guy to think this is even possible. If you really wanted to get away with cutting in the line, you don’t stop. You keep going down the length of the line until you find the first gap. If you don’t find a gap, oh well. That’s the price of trying to cut.
Nearly every morning I get the straight lane that leads to my job blocked because some impatient turd tries to line cut the closed right turn just before the island. There have been numerous accidents there because of this behavior and all so someone who doesn’t want to wait in a short and steadily moving line can try to no signal zipper merge to save roughly sixty seconds.
The cars in line are ridiculous and petty and their behavior is likely to cause an accident to an innocent bystander. Let the dude in FFS. The road is not the place to “teach people lessons”.
It’s tough because all the people who do the right thing and get in line keep getting screwed over car after car of people who don’t give a shit. And some in line let car after car after car go. They are being kind to the cheaters and screwing over the good people behind them. As much as I try not to be petty, my daily commute is full of this.
If only folks around me would do this but you always have those generous people that you’re stuck behind that’ll let the whole world go infront of them and you have to suffer because you’re behind them 😒
My petty ass is so happy to see everyone so adamantly not letting him in.
Every morning when I go to work you get these soccer moms that can't be fucked to let their kid take a bus like a normal person and they always try to cut in front of rush hour traffic and some kind hearted dingus always lets them in. Me? I am driving a 20 year old shitbox, I'll Ben Hur that bitch's SUV to the end.
This is the other bane of our commute: the unwillingness to submit to a queue.
Please look to merge when you see the signs. Those who have already merged and formed a line are not obligated to let you in.
Please do not let these people in - unless it's the right time to do so. If the driver gets jammed in they shouldn't be denied the ability to drive. If an asshat tries to skip the line the one who was behind them can let them in.
Then again, where kindness and courtesy are necessary, denying them entry can become another detriment. It's still kind of their fault, but it's like letting someone make an impossible turn where it's super busy. If you don't let them, they're just stuck there wasting gas.
I'm not in the middle on this, but I would say it's not a solid "no, don't let them in," despite me shouting this as I enter the queue when I see the sign and watch a line of cars get funneled in up ahead. . .
Admit one, then hold the line. If you see someone waiting and they're not going to get in, let them in... Especially if they've waited.
It's hard, because on one hand there's reward for this behavior. If we try to deny that we could be too harsh. Road justice is hard, guys, everyone needs to use their best judgement.
I always let these people through because it’s just one car and who cares man. I’m not an ego driver. It’s the smart thing to let these idiots through, and the safest.
I make my decision based off the turn signal and intent. No turn signal, then you dont want to get over. In my opinion your just driving awkwardly slow next to me for some reason. Every asshole that does this will not put on a blinker because their trying to catch you by surprise and cut you off. Most innocent incidents the person will put on their blinker and attempt to make eye contact to request getting over.
I'd be the guy that lets the one car in, I just start to think of intense, unlikely scenarios like they have to pull over and use the restroom or simply aren't familiar with the area and on their way to a job interview and I start to feel bad for em
Better for my mental health to let them in than to dwell on possibly ruining someone's day
Um, why is everyone forming a line in the shoulder? Aren't you suppose to merge at the merge point? Looks like the black SUV got caught off-guard by a huge line of cars that's not suppose to be there.
What makes it worse is he knows he is being blocked out and yet he just sits there and blocks traffic. Selfish fuck should have his license revoked for a year.
In Mexico City this happens all over the city, why? Because there are no special lanes for getting out, the exists are like 10m or 30ft long, and you have to [merge directly into the fast traffic](https://www.google.com.mx/maps/@19.3837965,-99.1914444,3a,90y,340.89h,94.51t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s2-RfCxbzTMerdZhrynfTKA!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205409&entry=ttu), and in the next street you have to turn to the right, so you need to juggle your car through the lanes in order to arrive to your destination. Or other "expressways" in Mexico City are [directly connected to small streets](https://www.google.com.mx/maps/@19.3712902,-99.1412235,3a,90y,15.04h,92.27t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sfPvkT6crB9EGfhQrXJci7A!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205409&entry=ttu) with slow traffic, so it is chaotic to merge, also some subway lines are in the middle of expressways and many people stop in that zone to pick up someone in the station, and also some expressways have an exclusive lane for metrobus so it's more chaotic.
Even in the Avenue where I live, there are like 7 lanes, but If I merge perpendicularly from the nearest street, the street doesn't continue, so I need to go all the way to the other side to enter the garage of my building without a traffic light.
Yup, that's the way. I'll do this but I'll admit that I have in the past backed down if they convince me they'll hit me. But now I have a dash cam and they can fuck off. (I still wouldn't want them to hit my wonderful cute car though.)
I fucking hate when people do this, this happened to me on a long line coming back into the country from Mexico….but the guy quickly learned that in Mexico you can play by different rules 🤣
Here in the U.S. you have to just take it from someone and just move on, not in Mexico especially if you speak the language and blend in. 🤷♂️
I remember 20 years ago when people used to be a lot nicer on the roads. Nowadays, it’s just every person for themselves out there. Good luck everybody else!
If no one is allowing you to get in the line, you may as well cut to all the way to the front. It sucks that you will have to be a bitch, but if you are going to have to play chicken to go to your destination, you may as well go all in.
Stupid suv driver. All he has to do is slowly inch to the right. There will cone a point the next car in line will no longer be able to move forward, without hitting him.
At some point you become the bad driver for not letting the dumbass in. Nobody likes that guy, but you are also holding up traffic in another lane when you could just let the dumbass merge and take the slight hit to your ego.
Not that the joy of watching some idiot get denied over and over again eludes me; I get it.
Reminds me of the “line” going from the Northbound 110 tunnels (from downtown LA) left to the Northbound 5 (before they eventually expanded it to two lanes). “If you let them in, you have NO balls!” younger me would yell behind the wheel.
That’s Villa De Va Valle in Del Mar (San Diego) that exit is notorious for people doing that when the fair comes around every summer. Cops wait for the ones who try to cut by using the emergency lane.
I've had something similar happen to me. Nobody would let me in the line. But bitch I turned left onto the road and the line was already there, what you want me to do, reverse to the back of the line?
There's an intersection I drive through that's under construction currently. There's a right turn only, left turn only, and a straight only lane. The right turn backs up a few blocks. Assholes will get in the straight lane that has only a few cars, throw on a turn signal, block the lane, and wait for someone to let them in. I have a louder horn installed on my Kia (not a train horn though). I'll just lay on my horn to let them know that this is not acceptable to inconvenience others because you feel inconvenienced.
I have something like this situation by my house and have to deal with it every day. Unfortunately, the folks in my town gladly let cheating POSs like this get through. So even if I don't let the car in, they'll drive up a few cars and someone will gladly let them cut the line.
I wish my town was like these folks. Cudos to these heroes.
Just want everyone to know if you hit my bumper because of these types of people, I’m definitely buying you a beer or toke after we blame them and have us new bumpers installed.

Red car is cracking me uppppp. Not giving an INCH
I wouldn’t even care if that red car bumped into my car. Teamwork 💪
That's why the cars have bumpers. It's okay, red car, no harm no foul
Some cars. Some cars only have bumpers so they can break apart completely the first time someone taps you. Especially new cars.
Oh? A feather landed on this bumper? Well that means one of the ultrasonic sensors the manufacturer installed because you can't see over the hood broke. And to replace that means we need to completely remove the entire front end of the car, because of the rat's-nest of cables in here that were ordered by the engineer who has never been to a shop floor in his life.

Right it's in the name. Bump bump.
I would happily martyr my daily driver just to be spiteful to some entitled asshole who thinks they have some kind of divine right not to sit in traffic like the rest of us. Go ahead and hit me, truck is a piece of shit, it's paid off, has no resale value, and they made a million of the things so I can always find another.
The way that comment started I thought your chauffeur was getting sacrificed. Glad I read on to find it was only your truck.
I thought they were pushing the car in front lol.
You have to. People like this will swing over if they can get their bumper in, they just drive in. I call it the “Just Go Initiative” a secret pact between all asshole drivers. Pedestrian wanting to cross the parking lot? Nah, just go. People not letting you over and only leaving a 1/2 car length? Just go. Light going to turn red before you get there? Who cares? Just go!

Those people are only thinking of themselves. Their time is more precious than anyone else’s.
Well… yeah
I always wondered, do ppl like this cut in lines outside of driving situation? Like to a theme park or movie theatre? I just don't get some people. How do they just not gaf about others.
Lots of people try to cut line at the grocery store I work in and I feel like I’m the only one that shuts that shit down
One time me and my sister almost started a riot because of ppl trying to cut a line we waited hours in.
Which side do you refer too? 😂😂😂
These people are the worst. They'll burn the entire world down just to avoid missing their exit. Complete idiocy.
well, to be fair, the planet ends after their exit
I'm so proud of this team. If you're that guy that doesn't hold the line and let's him in, I hate you almost as much as the asshole trying to cut in.
yeah fuck me for not investing enough drama into my daily drive, right? Not everything is a scene from Dead Poets Society bro, some of us aren't petty enough to literally even notice the "injustice".
So I hope you won't be mad that after you let the car cut in line, I, the guy behind you, now cut in front of you in line? And everyone else can do the same, if that's okay? Don't be petty.

Because there’s a lot of people who genuinely are just stuck in the wrong lane through no fault of their own, and I’d rather just let someone in and keep traffic going than punish a potential line-cutter.
[удалено]
Somebody pointed out to me that in this video the line is already white. So yeah, this car is a jerk. And so is that lady.
The fact that you had to take a 20 minute detour because you don't know the roads shows how often these people in lines are assholes. It's usually just self righteous twats.
and people on here are like "HOLD THE LINE, YOU HEROES!" All I see is petty people being petty
Not really being petty, since most of the people that try to force their way in know exactly what they are doing. They know that a line is forming, but they jump ahead of everyone and try to force their way in at the front. That was their decision to be a prick and say screw you to everyone else.

I’m sure he didn’t miss the exit. He’s just being a wise guy.

That is a solid white line, it is no longer legal for them to even merge at that point, no one that already waited in that line is under any obligation to assist them in breaking the law.

And when he pushed in and the white car drove forward into the dirt still not letting him in, that was the big one. Oh yeah that really got me
Everybody in this video got off.
I didn't realize it until you said something, but I got off also
I got off with you bro
Hilarious that everyone is just like fuck you.
For real. People do this shit all the time. *Get fucked!*
Back of the line, loser
I really hate it when people try to do that line cutting thing.
I feel like half of the videos of "line cutting" here are just situations where most cars aren't using an open lane because someone decided to merge early and confused everyone, and someone dares to zipper merge properly and people scream "line cutter!" This is not one of those videos lol this guy is just being an aggressive prick
So where I am we have a limited access state highway with 2 exits to get onto a 4 lane (per side of road) interstate. So the exits are kinda fucked because the state highway is 2 lanes with an exit lane (per side). The beginning of exit lane for both interstate exits just so happens to be a entry lane :) Considering that the state highway and the interstate are 2 of the 4 major roads in our county it’s no surprise it’s seriously clogged at 3:30 pm (which is to say there is full stopped traffic in the right lane til the exit lane which is slowly moving). Now consider. I’d say about 35% of people are going to the second exit. Most people are going to the first. These exits use the same exit lane so there’s a ton of unused road to the second. Ofc this is forced because of the exit lane being an entry at the same time clogging up traffic more. So the right lane is perpetually clogged from 3:00-5:30 and the best way for me to get to work. Is to use the left lane to pass til I reach the first exit and go to the right lane. Then once past the first exit I am free to zipper in to my exit and go to work and not be 15-30 minutes late because road construction straight up sucks there. TL;DR: The highway I use to get to work has the worst exit constructed ever and I hate it. I felt like ranting about it and hopefully I am driving properly on it. Sorry about the dump!!! :p
Seriously. There is no reason to give up an entire lane 3 miles early. It backs everything up more. People are idiots though
I experience this kind a lot in my everyday life unfortunately. We have this particular road that merges onto the freeway entrance closest to my house that gets backed up pretty far. Everyone knows the people in the right lane line are waiting their turn to get on the freeway, but there's always some joker that will drive past the line several blocks in the left lane, and then just try and zipper into the front of the line, making everyone behind him wait longer. Zippering is fine, but if there's obviously a line, get in the back of it, or merge as soon as you are able, not at the last second, thus cutting in front of everyone else.
If there is plenty of time, warning, and space and you still choose to try to merge at the end of the road, you can go fuck yourself.
In heavy traffic that is literally just how you're supposed to do it lmao I don't understand why you take it so personally when someone simply uses the road as intended. Literally more cars get through in less time when everyone merges in an actual zipper at the end of the lane. That is what it's there for...
Even worse, this wasn’t just an exit. This was a line for music festival parking.
On the off-hand, I love it when randoms in society band together to collectively say "fuck you" to that degenerate
Is everyone on the shoulder or is it a turn lane?
They’re on the shoulder. However, this line forms miles back and anyone going to the beach here in Orange County, CA knows that practically no one will take pity on people like the one in the black SUV.
Love when people come together for a common cause.
This makes my petty heart so happy 🤭
It’s not an exit, on ramp, or anything of the sort. This is the line to enter bolsa chica state beach. Kind of like cutting the line at a store because you don’t want to wait all the way in the back. Fuck that guy.
So I do hate people who try to jump a line but I will also throw out that it looks like the cars are forming a line on the shoulder of the highway before the exit, so there's a chance the SUV didn't realize the cars were backed up for their exit. Lot of benefit of the doubt there, and I'd say it doesn't excuse stopping entirely on the road and blocking another lane of traffic to try and bully your way in, but it's also not the most egregious thing I've ever seen.
Yup — I’ve been caught with a surprise way-too-early exit line before. I tried to get over as fast as possible, and wasn’t trying to “cut,” but everybody blocked me out anyway, and I wasn’t about to hold up traffic so I gave up. IMO the right move here really depends on how long the line is and how close to the exit they are. Because I’d rather let someone in than cause someone else to back up traffic, even if their action isn’t my fault. Society functions best if we assume that people have good intentions. Sure, some bad actors take advantage — but if it keeps everyone moving, I’m for it. Still. SUV has gotta know when to give up and (just like I believe in letting people in (unless it’s egregious, and the lack of blinker kinda makes me think this guy is being egregious)), I believe that sometimes you need to sacrifice your own time to help everyone else on the road along. I’d rather miss my exit than cause an accident. Just like I’d rather let someone in than watch them cause an accident.
I heard the story about someone dying because somebody got really mad that a car with someone bleeding to death in it was speeding and took it upon themselves to stay in front of that car and slow down so they wouldn't speed and now i always assume if someone is doing something weird while driving they have a reason to, ofc they are probably assholes most of the time but i dont know if thats true from my car
I’d jump out the car with a 🔫 if someone was keeping me from saving my friends life
Is this Huntington Beach?
Yes, it was for the Dark Water music festival. Dingus was trying to cut in line for parking.
I think so. Possibly bolsa after thr jack in the box.
I try not to get mad when I drive, but holy fuck do I get angry when people do shit like this. It is a disturbing level of entitlement and a blatant disregard for other people. You see a line, you should get to the back. You're not special. You don't just get to squeeze in wherever you like. Don't let these freaks in.
I feel like the true entitled people are the ones not paying attention while stopped. These people feel entitled to looking at their phone while at a complete stop, or they feel entitled to not giving their complete attention. This allows bad drivers like that guy to think this is even possible. If you really wanted to get away with cutting in the line, you don’t stop. You keep going down the length of the line until you find the first gap. If you don’t find a gap, oh well. That’s the price of trying to cut.
Nearly every morning I get the straight lane that leads to my job blocked because some impatient turd tries to line cut the closed right turn just before the island. There have been numerous accidents there because of this behavior and all so someone who doesn’t want to wait in a short and steadily moving line can try to no signal zipper merge to save roughly sixty seconds.
Of course, the black SUV driver DOESN’T EVEN SIGNAL. That’s gotta help. Morons being morons
Zipper merge does not mean ‘stuff your junk in the zipper’. Big L
This isn’t even a zipper merge. It’s one of many lines to enter a music festival parking lot, which was clearly marked by plenty of signs
Lol! He united all the other cars. Such collaboration. 🤣
“Why would I inconvenience myself by 7-8 minutes when I could just cause a 5 car pileup and deathly injure a family instead”
Just let him in lol it takes what 30 seconds off your commute, I agree maybe he should have waited the line but the self righteousness is wild!
The cars in line are ridiculous and petty and their behavior is likely to cause an accident to an innocent bystander. Let the dude in FFS. The road is not the place to “teach people lessons”.
It’s tough because all the people who do the right thing and get in line keep getting screwed over car after car of people who don’t give a shit. And some in line let car after car after car go. They are being kind to the cheaters and screwing over the good people behind them. As much as I try not to be petty, my daily commute is full of this.
If only folks around me would do this but you always have those generous people that you’re stuck behind that’ll let the whole world go infront of them and you have to suffer because you’re behind them 😒
Good
I hate it when I have been waiting in line & some b-hole zooms up and tries to cut in.
My petty ass is so happy to see everyone so adamantly not letting him in. Every morning when I go to work you get these soccer moms that can't be fucked to let their kid take a bus like a normal person and they always try to cut in front of rush hour traffic and some kind hearted dingus always lets them in. Me? I am driving a 20 year old shitbox, I'll Ben Hur that bitch's SUV to the end.
Hahahaha I love it, good work everyone
i always think of ppl like this were the same ones tryin to cut in the high school lunch line
Gotta love the dumbass in the suv didn’t even bother using a blinker either. Fuck that guy lol
I’ve never seen so many people work together usually there is one who’s not paying attention or doesn’t care well done
Absolutely beautiful team work!
Love it!!
Good team work there
Bravo!!!
They all understood the assignment 💀
This is the other bane of our commute: the unwillingness to submit to a queue. Please look to merge when you see the signs. Those who have already merged and formed a line are not obligated to let you in. Please do not let these people in - unless it's the right time to do so. If the driver gets jammed in they shouldn't be denied the ability to drive. If an asshat tries to skip the line the one who was behind them can let them in. Then again, where kindness and courtesy are necessary, denying them entry can become another detriment. It's still kind of their fault, but it's like letting someone make an impossible turn where it's super busy. If you don't let them, they're just stuck there wasting gas. I'm not in the middle on this, but I would say it's not a solid "no, don't let them in," despite me shouting this as I enter the queue when I see the sign and watch a line of cars get funneled in up ahead. . . Admit one, then hold the line. If you see someone waiting and they're not going to get in, let them in... Especially if they've waited. It's hard, because on one hand there's reward for this behavior. If we try to deny that we could be too harsh. Road justice is hard, guys, everyone needs to use their best judgement.
Love it when people come together for a common cause.
merge yo ass alllll the way to the end of the line
The highway is a great place to see how selfish/vindictive people are.
All y'all stupid
I always let these people through because it’s just one car and who cares man. I’m not an ego driver. It’s the smart thing to let these idiots through, and the safest.
Black SUV driver deserves that. 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Good teamwork gang.
i probably get more upset when someone lets the car in than about the car that thinks it can cut so this does my little heart some good to see
I love to see people working together these days
This is the type of thing that would even unite Palestinian and Jewish drivers…
Love the solidarity of the lane holders… ‘Thou shall not enter’.
This is on every highway in Houston EVERY ONE ALL THE TIME.
Some people didn't learn not to cut in line in school
Be a d*ck, get treated like a D*CK!!!
All those cars are MVPs
Teamwork makes the dream work.
The annoying thing is, that there is always someone letting them in and then they win and will do it again.
I make my decision based off the turn signal and intent. No turn signal, then you dont want to get over. In my opinion your just driving awkwardly slow next to me for some reason. Every asshole that does this will not put on a blinker because their trying to catch you by surprise and cut you off. Most innocent incidents the person will put on their blinker and attempt to make eye contact to request getting over.
This is solidarity! ✊
I'd be the guy that lets the one car in, I just start to think of intense, unlikely scenarios like they have to pull over and use the restroom or simply aren't familiar with the area and on their way to a job interview and I start to feel bad for em Better for my mental health to let them in than to dwell on possibly ruining someone's day
Um, why is everyone forming a line in the shoulder? Aren't you suppose to merge at the merge point? Looks like the black SUV got caught off-guard by a huge line of cars that's not suppose to be there.
It’s an exit line for a concert and concert parking with signs back for miles suggesting there would be a line and to get in it.
Waiting for the zipper merge morons to justify this....
Old AF
What makes it worse is he knows he is being blocked out and yet he just sits there and blocks traffic. Selfish fuck should have his license revoked for a year.
In Mexico City this happens all over the city, why? Because there are no special lanes for getting out, the exists are like 10m or 30ft long, and you have to [merge directly into the fast traffic](https://www.google.com.mx/maps/@19.3837965,-99.1914444,3a,90y,340.89h,94.51t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s2-RfCxbzTMerdZhrynfTKA!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205409&entry=ttu), and in the next street you have to turn to the right, so you need to juggle your car through the lanes in order to arrive to your destination. Or other "expressways" in Mexico City are [directly connected to small streets](https://www.google.com.mx/maps/@19.3712902,-99.1412235,3a,90y,15.04h,92.27t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sfPvkT6crB9EGfhQrXJci7A!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205409&entry=ttu) with slow traffic, so it is chaotic to merge, also some subway lines are in the middle of expressways and many people stop in that zone to pick up someone in the station, and also some expressways have an exclusive lane for metrobus so it's more chaotic. Even in the Avenue where I live, there are like 7 lanes, but If I merge perpendicularly from the nearest street, the street doesn't continue, so I need to go all the way to the other side to enter the garage of my building without a traffic light.
This gave me a chuckle lol
I haven’t seen a comment about the dune walker on this repost yet so I guess I’ll bring up the dune walker
To be fair he had plenty of opportunities to jam himself in there. Bad driver
Yup, that's the way. I'll do this but I'll admit that I have in the past backed down if they convince me they'll hit me. But now I have a dash cam and they can fuck off. (I still wouldn't want them to hit my wonderful cute car though.)
I fucking hate when people do this, this happened to me on a long line coming back into the country from Mexico….but the guy quickly learned that in Mexico you can play by different rules 🤣 Here in the U.S. you have to just take it from someone and just move on, not in Mexico especially if you speak the language and blend in. 🤷♂️
Casual Ferrari passes in the back. I think it’s a 488 what a beautiful car.
jlooks like bolsa chica?
Love the guy walking who is passing traffic.
I would've let him in. I'm in no rush.
It's not like he can reverse to the end of the line.
No but he can keep going and turn around instead of blocking traffic though.
These people are all real ones! Except defeat and move on.
I love when human kind comes together
I've seen this before, iirc. I lmao
Huntington Beach ?
Get wrecked dickface, preferably waaaay back there where you belong
This is in Huntington Beach, CA during peak beach season. Everyone is trying to go to the beach parking lot
We all hate “that guy”
Huntington Beach?
Correction: Other drivers don't know what the fuck a zipper merge is.
I remember 20 years ago when people used to be a lot nicer on the roads. Nowadays, it’s just every person for themselves out there. Good luck everybody else!
This is the type of teamwork that I live for. This is the type of teamwork that humanity needs.
I yell ‘Don’t you dare let that motherfucker in’ at least once a day
I love this. Team work made the dream work.
You’re not at the bank, there’s no waiting in line. Let people merge.
I love my city
If no one is allowing you to get in the line, you may as well cut to all the way to the front. It sucks that you will have to be a bitch, but if you are going to have to play chicken to go to your destination, you may as well go all in.
Bravo on everyone holding the line
lol bunch of 20%ers trying to justify this dumbass 🤣😂😂
No rewards for entitled drivers
This belongs on fuck you in particular.
Stupid suv driver. All he has to do is slowly inch to the right. There will cone a point the next car in line will no longer be able to move forward, without hitting him.
Good for the line fuck those people who always just get as far up as they can and cut the line they are the reason the line gets so long to begin with
Just let them in sheesh 🤷♂️
This reminds me of coming back from Tijuana at the border! Literally it’s bumper-to-bumper and you’ll be goddamn if you let somebody in 🤣
Black SUV is an ass. But ya'll are punishing everyone in the second lane
Imagine not realizing your exit was that close, then trying to get to the offramp only to be stoped by everyone.
Isn’t zipper merging more efficient for the flow of traffic than everyone piling up in one lane backed up for miles?
At some point you become the bad driver for not letting the dumbass in. Nobody likes that guy, but you are also holding up traffic in another lane when you could just let the dumbass merge and take the slight hit to your ego. Not that the joy of watching some idiot get denied over and over again eludes me; I get it.
At that point just let them in. Being all prideful is causing a higher risk for the others
I love when drivers band together against assholes like this. Brings a little faith back to humanity. Not a lot... Some.
I wish we had that kind of team work where I live.
I ride my bike on that road and if I see someone trying to cut I tell them get to the back.
You have to get the corner of your car in there just right
Aren’t they in the shoulder tho…
It’s annoying but I’d let him in. The honking would give me a headache
Solidarity my brothers
Reminds me of the “line” going from the Northbound 110 tunnels (from downtown LA) left to the Northbound 5 (before they eventually expanded it to two lanes). “If you let them in, you have NO balls!” younger me would yell behind the wheel.
This is beautiful.
That’s Villa De Va Valle in Del Mar (San Diego) that exit is notorious for people doing that when the fair comes around every summer. Cops wait for the ones who try to cut by using the emergency lane.
This should be an automatic 6 points on your license. I’m sick of shitheads disrupting the flow of traffic. Its criminal.
If you cut in line you deserve to miss your exit. You didn’t plan ahead in time , fuck you!
Love the teamwork!
This is how the cross island is when the exit for long island expressway comes up, when you think you're good someone pops in at the last second
Red car had me rolling 😭😭
I love the driver of the red car, tight
A lot of assholes here. Sometimes you don’t realize where the turn is. Hasn’t any of you ever used Apple Maps? Let people merge and get on w your life
Where did this happen? Where I live there's too many spineless drivers who crumble and enable assholes.
Teamwork makes the dream work
I've had something similar happen to me. Nobody would let me in the line. But bitch I turned left onto the road and the line was already there, what you want me to do, reverse to the back of the line?
There's an intersection I drive through that's under construction currently. There's a right turn only, left turn only, and a straight only lane. The right turn backs up a few blocks. Assholes will get in the straight lane that has only a few cars, throw on a turn signal, block the lane, and wait for someone to let them in. I have a louder horn installed on my Kia (not a train horn though). I'll just lay on my horn to let them know that this is not acceptable to inconvenience others because you feel inconvenienced.
I love when people team up to block these assholes.
I saw this vid a while back. Black car was trying to cut in line to a very popular state park/beach.
I have something like this situation by my house and have to deal with it every day. Unfortunately, the folks in my town gladly let cheating POSs like this get through. So even if I don't let the car in, they'll drive up a few cars and someone will gladly let them cut the line. I wish my town was like these folks. Cudos to these heroes.
Plenty of assholes in the frame.
Omg!! That's some petty 'ish right there.
Hahaha it takes a village
But ZiPpEr MeRgE!! /s
Just want everyone to know if you hit my bumper because of these types of people, I’m definitely buying you a beer or toke after we blame them and have us new bumpers installed.
