Angry It grinds my gears when...

I'm on the left lane behind a car cruising at the 45 MPH limit. When the right end is about to end, at least once a week some car speeds (60+) through the right lane and narrowly cuts between me and the vehicle in front.

Shortly after the right lane ends I make a right. It is a clean, long stretch of road (~ 1/4mi). Towards the end, I make a left to enter the parking lot of my work place. To the right is the parking lot of another company.

It happened again this morning. It's the same driver who works across from my work place. He speeds out of nowhere and cuts me off at the last minute and squeezes between me and the vehicle in front. The long stretch of road is typically 30-40 MPH. This driver? He drives under 20 MPH while I'm behind his tail. Before he turns, he stops for a few seconds, and then slowly turns.

This is at the second time he has done that in the past couple of weeks. Another one from the same company did that to me as well.

I'm so nice I don't even honk or cut them, but I couldn't help letting the F.I. exhaust roar around 2-3k in 2nd and 3rd while I'm behind them. I'm tempted to ask him what gives? Next time I may hold the horn, but whatever. [sigh]
