Life, Death, Taxes and Traffic. Welcome to California! Great article above on why Bay Area traffic will continue to grow worse and worse. The details within the article are really interesting but the summary is as simple as this.. California government is a money-hungry, filthy crap-shoot surrounded by red-tape. The traffic problems will only get worse and worse, it's inevitable, Mr. Anderson.
As a non-proud, Bay-Area Commuter, these are the worst types of people I find/deal with on a regular basis. Although certain races and genders can definitely be placed in most of these categories, we won't be touching that one with a ten-foot festivus pole. Louis C.K. said it best "When you're driving that's when you need to be the most compassionate and responsible at any of time of your life because you're fucking driving a weapon. And yet, it's the worst people get. And I-I I'm the worst."

Left-Lane Slow Drivers: Setting the record straight. If you are driving during Rush Hour, and you are in the far left lane, you must drive over 70MPH. If someone behind you wants to go faster, GET YOUR ASS OVER to let them pass or simply go faster. Pretty simple, right? Wrong. People do 60-65MPH in the far left lane everyday and are baffled when the cars behind then wrench their way into the other lane just to pass them.
Bike person not using the Bike Lane: These people SUCK and they are everywhere. Your combined weight of 200lbs with a bicycle cannot be setting the speed in front of my 2-ton car, it just can't. You're probably a better, greener and more financially responsible person than I am for using that bike but dude, you're NOT a car. Move to the side or the lane the state of California made for you and don't be a dick about it.
Weirdos on BART: They come in all different shapes and forms but at the end of a long, hard day at work, it's always one specific type that makes BART 10x worse. You have the homeless guy who will ask for everybody's attention and give a short speech why he needs money (awkward to the fucking max). There's the person who stands right next to your seat, with their ass unnecessarily parked/aligned in front of your face. The worst are the homeless that let their collection of shit slide around the BART car while they are passed out, sprawled over three seats. BART isn't all that bad but these people make it incredibly depressing and leave you pining for the privacy of your own vehicle.
Non-Thank you Wavers and Non Signal Users: The person in the photo above is using perfect form. Hand way out there, you can see part of his face, he's letting you know exactly what's going on. If you wanna be lazy and just stick your hand out the window, fine. It's all-out war in Bay Area traffic, if I'm going to extend an olive branch of peace by letting you into my lane, send one back! People who don't use their signal are choosing to tell the world that their car is the only one that matters. I can't read your mind, so it infuriates me when you slow down to 5MPH.
