Idiots Blithering in Lubbock

There is a Town & Country convenience store at the intersection of 19th and Milwaukee in Lubbock which apparently has the ability to vacuum the intelligence out of unsuspecting drivers.  That intersection carries a decent amount of traffic on a weekday morning, and of course there are a fair number of people who want to stop off at the Town & Country as part of their morning routine.  The problem is, for some insane reason some of those travelling west on 19th turn north on Milwaukee, immediately stop in the far left northbound lane of traffic and expect to cut across three southbound lanes plus a left turn lane (which is typically full on a weekday morning).  It’s the biggest mess.  And these mental giants are obstinate that they be allowed to cut across all this traffic, safety be damned, apparently incapable of seeing the idiocy of their actions.

All they have to do is go straight through the intersection west bound and turn into the Town & Country on the other side of the intersection, which would be a perfectly safe right hand turn into the parking lot.  But NO, clearly the mystical powers of that intersection have sucked all the brains out of their heads and they blither right across four lanes of traffic causing very dangerous conditions.

Makes you want to just drag them out of their vehicle and slap some sense into them.
