Oh, I'm definitely fearful of the oblivious, if for no other reason than their sheer quantity. Sooner or later, one of them may get "lucky" and seriously screw me over.

The intentionally obnoxious, on the other hand, tend to make a lot of enemies very quickly and as a result don't last very long. That's not to say they're safe to deal with. That's also not to say they're not getting cleverer: just this morning on the way to work I encountered a new variety of asshole - the driver who waits to make a left hand turn until the green arrow turns amber. As the guy right behind em, it seemed plain as day to me that e was very much doing it on purpose; e was making some sort of gesture with his hand out the window as if e was trying to say "Wait for it..." to everyone around, and es head was almost out the window with it, the proverbial excrement-eating grin clearly visible. I'm glad I didn't need to turn left there. I'm also glad that at least the first two cars behind me didn't need to turn left, either. - ZM
