Merging Resentment

    You were going south on I-81. I was going west on I-66 and merging onto I-81 southbound. Despite the warning sign informing you of merging traffic in the left lane ahead of you, you continued driving in the left lane. I was at full speed (70 MPH) as I entered the acceleration lane to merge, and I was forced to slow as there was a semi to my right going slower than I was and I couldn't have passed it within the bounds of the acceleration lane. As I'm checking traffic in my mirrors, I'm surprized to see you so close up to the semi - not leaving me much room at all to merge. In fact, if I didn't know better, I'd say you were trying to keep me from merging between you and the truck! I managed to squeeze in and you started flashing your high beams at me - yeah, like I'm gonna go faster and crash into the truck for your stupid ass... No, on second thought, I'm gonna SLOW DOWN to get a little distance between me and the semi (I don't like following trucks with only 20 feet of following distance). That infuriated you even more, and you showed it by turning on your high beams completely. I hadn't checked my brakes for quite some time, so that seemed like an appropriate time for me to do it. Have a nice weekend, ASSHOLE! No, on second thought, I hope you crash and burn mutherf...er!

    Once again, somebody complaining about someone in a THROUGH lane failing to get out of his way, as he attempts to merge in front of them with little or no room. These flags are getting stupid. Is this even real? Maybe it's djackson again, and is just another fabrication from a troll. Check the similarities to this flag: I think this is djackson again, posting under a different account. The rant is very similar. Both are trollish tantrums, complaining about drivers who failed to accommodate a driver (the flagger) who was failing to yield, and was called on it. I think the stories might be made up, they are so ridiculous. Check the similarities in this flag: http://www.platewire.com/viewrate.aspx?rid=40009

    Well, that got a little jumbled up with the copy/paste, but oh well. You get the idea. Please confess if it's you, djackson!
