People that see the signs for construction 2 miles ahead of time, and still try to get by every car in line before the lane closes. You'll hit every one of those cones before I let you in!

but some foolish Samaritan at the head of the line always stops traffic so the a-holes can merge at the very top.
People that don't know how to properly merge in traffic, and then complain on the BB&B "Peeve of the Day" board about the people that do![]()
People that don’t understand how to zipper merge in construction zones and get mad at people that do.
As long as they start making the attempt to "zipper merge" as soon as the sign appears that's fine. Those who wait until the traffic has stopped and try to "zip" around in the dead lane or even on the shoulder should NEVER be allowed in unless they are driving an ambulance with a passenger in the back.
I was tempted to block a Porsche who was driving down the shoulder past everyone as we waited to go across the bay bridge in Mobile. I decided I didn’t want some entitled Karen yelling at me after she was caught doing something stupid and I believe illegal. No need to rock the boat at the end of a very good family trip.
The great comedian Gallagher said we should have dart guns in our cars and anytime we see someone doing something stupid we shoot one into (onto) their car. Then when a policeman sees a car with lots of darts stuck on it he pulls them over and writes a ticket.
Zipper merge is the preferred method when merging is necessary. But I too get annoyed when some folks think they are too good to wait in line like the rest of we poor saps. They'll race ahead to the point of blockage and want to break into line. Nope! I never let 'em. Happened to me recently and I simply would not allow someone to break into line. He cussed, flipped me off, and I just smiled back then waved "bye bye" as several cars behind me did the same thing to the asshole.
