It's bad enough that I have to drive home...

But just about everyone else on the road has to make it worse for me by being stupid drivers.  I sat at a stop sign in town for not less than 2 minutes because the first guy that was turning left onto the road I was turning off of, blocking my way, wouldn't freaking turn.  He passed up like 3 perfectly reasonable opportunities to turn, which made me miss like 5 perfectly good opportunities to continue my drive.  Then when he turns, finally, an old freaking man that probably hasn't passed a driving exam in like 60 years pulls up on my right, blocking my view of traffic from the left, so now I'm waiting on this dipshit to pull out so that I can see again, and, of course, he can't make up his mind to go and passes up a solid 3 perfectly reasonable opportunities to pull out (probably because he wanted to turn right into the left lane instead of just being smart and pulling into the right lane).  Then he pulls out and, walla, there's another car in front of me blocking my way again.  I finally get a chance and by now I'm furious.  I nearly had gotten out of the car and walked up to the old man to see if he was awake.  I left the intersection in a cloud of Michelin Pilot Sport.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!  All I want to do is have a peaceful drive home and get the best gas mileage that I can.  However, I find it impossible when I have to idle for 2 minutes at an intersection.  Not only that, but when I get angry, my right foot has a strong urge to rest against sheet metal, which worsens the situation.

Fuck, why can't people learn to drive well!  Is that too much to ask?  Apparently.  And, before you ask, unless you know a mildly successful racing driver, professional racing driver, or an avid hypermiler, I am the best driver that you know.  I know that sounds pretty confident.  I assure you that I have every reason to believe that and can, most likely, prove it.
