Literally two examples tonight. First with me, I needed to exit right and with just a slight speed up gave myself tonnes of room in front of this guy. I actually didn't even realize that as soon as I started moving over he stomped the gas and started flashing his high beams. He ended up following me right to the parking lot I was going into, two inches from my bumper the whole way, going berserk the whole time. He parked behind me, I guess to block me in, but I'm a big guy, so I just got out and walked right by his window to see if he was looking to fight or whatever. He was screaming at me from his car, but wouldn't even wind down the window when I walked by, lol. He was a little guy though, once I was out of my car I think it became more "real life" where you can't just scream and act aggressive towards anyone.
Then on the way home it happened to another guy on Anderson. Lane changer guy going about 90, guy in left lane going about 80. The 90 guy had tonnes of room ahead of him and went to change. Suddenly 80 guy did a full speed up and the 90 guy almost sideswiped him, it was so dangerous.
Why is there so many of these "my lane, not yours!!!" warriors out there. I don't get it.

Similar incident with me years back with a guy following me into a parking lot. Not sure why people get so angry about this. It's a problem with Calgary drivers that seem to think letting someone in front of them is somehow compromising their commute. My wife is guilty of this mentality as I have had to tell her a few times not to do this and let the car in.
