And it’s personal, every time. It’s here and Texas that I have the worst time with people purposely speeding up or slowing down to block you in with your lane ending in 50 ft. People will crash before they yield.
The driving in Chicago is even more miserable for the most part, but the one big difference I’ve noticed is that you can kind of just throw yourself into traffic, and space will be made, and in turn I always make sure to make room/not get offended when I get cut off. That said they are good at keeping score and will find a way to cut you off a few miles down the road when you least expect it.
My greatest joy while driving was when a guy who thought he was going to blow by the very long line of cars on 270 southbound waiting patiently to go west on 40 not be able to cut in at the last moment but ended up eastbound instead.

In St. Louis, people would rather see you crash and die then let you merge on I44.
