Hahaha, at least there's a moment of human connection!
Meanwhile, the more I drive in Boston, the less my ire is directed at Massachusetts drivers, and the more baffled I am by Massachusetts road planners and highway engineers. I mean, yes, the drivers do have a bewildering array of practices that seem to be more-or-less designed to get them where they want to be regardless of concerns of life and limb. But everyone makes questionable choices in the moment! Meanwhile the highway engineers have decided things like "this road should basically be a highway, but with the ability to pull off/onto it directly from the parking lots of big box stores," presumably through some kind of actual planning process. It's a much more premeditated, and to me much less understandable, contribution to the general chaotic driving climate.
