Look, I appreciate when people give me a break when I'm trying to merge but honestly there are people with no damn common sense on the road. These are the people with only one person behind them and then a fifty mile open gap. Listen Buddy, I know you feel like you're doing me a favor but if you'd just freekin' gone on by I would have had *plenty* of time to merge. Really, I didn't need you slamming on your brakes to let me in, as I watch the eyes of the guy in the car behind you widen like soup plates as he desperately tries to stop in time.

On the other hand when I'm the person behind the jackass who feels like he needs to let the person on the cross street turn, hey what about me? Because I'm behind you I don't get the same courtesy? What about when I miss the damn light because *you* decided it was ok to stop everyone for the guy who was patiently waiting anyway?

Unless it's an endless stream of cars there really isn't an excuse to stop everyone behind you because you feel like being a Samaritan. The person behind you didn't get a chance offer their opinion, so please, just keep going on your way and give everyone else a break...
