Well I had another jerk pull a "cool" stunt on me yesterday. I was waiting
at a light with two lanes of traffic turning left from one street to
another. I'm in the left most lane about three cars back. There is an uber
driver in BMW is in right most left turn lane behind a delivery truck. When
the light changes, the uber driver deliberately cuts the corner pinching me
between himself and cars stopped in the in oncoming lane. I have to slow to
avoid a collision. Before I can get back up to speed, the uber driver
permanently cuts into my lane. I am sure he was congratulating himself on
cutting off another "sloth" (even though he created the opening by making a
dangerous move). However like most rude drivers he actually hurt himself.
in the end. He continued to carve his way back and forth through traffic. By
the time we parted ways I was a good 100 yards ahead of him (having changed
into the right lane after clearing the slower truck). Not only did he not
make good time himself, he managed to slow everyone down by continually
darting from lane to lane trying to cut off drivers I am sure he considered
"sloths." However in the end he was the true sloth and a jerk to boot. What
I don't understand is how can people of such obviously limited intelligence
(not to mention manners) afford a BMW?

Nice try.... but it fails on one basic concept. The golden, rule, which
has many forms but essentially means not to cause other drivers to take
evasive action. When one 'takes advantage of a sloth' there should be no
action required of any other driver.

Thanks for playing.

Actually, it's doubtful this MFFY gave you any thought at all. MFFYs
generally think only of themselves, and drive as if theirs was the
only vehicle on the road.

It's called "leasing."

As another poster so keenly observed, the ones who are most confused
about the MFFY concept are the MFFYs themselves. MFFYs think their own
behavior is above reproach, and that people who refuse to "let them
in" or "show consideration" or otherwise refuse to allow their rights
to be trampled are the ones in the wrong.

A prime example is the IGFE (I'm Going Fast Enough) MFFY who feels no
obligation to vacate the passing lane for faster traffic as long as
he's going, say, 70 MPH in a 65 MPH zone. Even if the 85th percentile
speed is 75, all those cars can bloody well wait until he has finished
his leisurely pass.

Used Bimmers are cheap, I bought an old E28 535i for about $1500 give
or take a few years ago and drove it for about a year before I passed
it along. That said, I don't think that this was necessarily
arrogance; I've noticed that most drivers don't seem to be able to
correctly handle left turns at all; they nearly always turn in too
early ending up in the wrong lane or else having to slow way down to
correct their line. Of course, it's entirely possible that this one
specfic driver WAS a MFFY...
