I want to share a story of my own here now that the "Buzz" has died down a bit from the original. Warning it is a longer story, but I feel very vindicated
Without explaining my intersection to you basically it's 2 lanes that enter a circle which is 3 lanes. If you are staying in the left lane you get in the left lane, if you are going to turn right (not as popular, out of town, etc.) you stay in the right lane.
So what often happens is I get in the left lane and even if there isn't an army of cars behind me some douche gets in the right lane because s/he just HAS to be in front of me.
I was driving my accord (stick) and I see the person pull up, I know the timing of the lights so I beat them to the circle and manage to stay in my lane.
At that point you can be in the right lane (bars, parking lots, etc.) or get in the left lane (not as popular etc.) so this douche, with his girl in passenger gets in the left lane.
So now they think they are badass and start revving their engine, but they don't know how to do it properly (put it in neutral) so they keep skipping into the intersection. All the while pointing and laughing at me. So I egg them on a bit and when the light goes green I hit it and beat them to the next light which is also 2 lanes and this time it merges into one lane.
So at this point I'm done playing games because it's 1 lane infront + parked cars and I don't want anyone slamming into a parked car or ramming me off the road to avoid said parked car. At that point I see the police in my rear view mirror. I look at them and they are laughing and pointing still.
So I start laughing at them and putting my thumb up in the air saying "Yeah!! GO FOR IT!" so they start revving and skipping forward. So I'm laughing even harder now.
The light turns green, I turn right to get away from the action and they go straight, sure enough the police lights go on. I stop at the dunkin doughnuts down by the corner and enjoy the show
In retrospect part of me wanted to walk up there and be like, that is a damn shame you guys getting that ticket and all. But just in case the cop saw me I figured I should just play it safe and enjoy the parade
They are still acting like Jackasses revving the engine skipping towards the light laughing and pointing at me
