I saw a Trucker today that would have easily made the Dean's List at
GPSTroll University. The Trucker is stopped at a red light, waiting to
turn right onto a relatively narrow 2-lane street. As cross traffic
gets a yellow, an SUV comes to a stop in the left turn pocket 90
degrees to the right of the Trucker. Since the street is so narrow,
the Trucker can't make the turn unless he uses more than one lane. So
when his light turns green he honks his horn and pulls forward, nose
to nose with the SUV, and stops, waiting - and blocking both the
potential forward movement of the SUV as well as all traffic in the
lane behind him. The SUV driver realizes this Trucker is just going to
sit there blocking the street until somebody moves out of his way, so
he puts his SUV into reverse and backs up about 50 feet to give the
Trucker room to complete his turn. Fortunately, there was no traffic
behind the SUV; had he been blocked in by vehicles behind, that would
have been a really nasty little traffic snarl...
No doubt this Trucker got an A+ in the "Bullying Your Way Through
Traffic" course at GPSTU.

He'll probably lose his job to a foreigner. Oh well.
