@silverfox said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:

There is a roundabout that has three 'out/in' parts in front of my apartment complex. One road leads to a little offshoot that connects to the main city roads. One splits off to a little-used road with parking for half-filled office buildings. The third leads to my fairly large apartment complex. When you enter the complex from the city roads you nave to go all around the circle before exiting to the complex.

ROUTINELY though, people go the WRONG WAY in the roundabout just to skip a few seconds of going the right way.

It pisses me off because it's just an accident waiting to happen.

DON'T DRIVE THE WRONG WAY. It took all my power to not park next to this idiot and yell at him.

Unfortunately, your average American is approximately 10 times worse at using a roundabout than they are at 4-way stops (we've all experienced THAT GUY who thinks because the person in front of him went, he gets to go, too).

I dread roundabouts because I know someone is gonna go the wrong way or they're gonna cut across lanes (if it's one of the bigger, multi-lane ones: Austin has a few) or they're gonna cut people off because they don't know how merging works.
