But, here's something I've seen a couple of times, not sure anyone else has, but a person in the congested lane, will basically drive in the middle of both lanes preventing any of us dicks getting up to the front to zipper merge properly.
I've been seeing that a few times lately on the merge when Glenmore goes from 2 lanes to 1 lane west of Sarcee.

If the "receiving" lane is moving at a decent pace I try to match speeds with that lane so I can merge at the end without being a dick. If that lane is near stationary and the merge lane is empty though, I just figure the other drivers should've made better decisions about when to merge.
