    The person at the front of the queue at a light has a solemn duty to pay attention and move as soon as possible .

    I take this very seriously, but as with everything humans let me down constantly.

      I’ve seen way too many idiots ignore red lights since COVID to “move as soon as possible” anymore. I’m not risking getting Tboned to appease some impatient twat behind me.

        Always look both ways, no matter how long the light has been green. I need to see you’re paying attention though, that’s the thing. So many people in the front of the line are sitting on their phone so sleeping or whatever the fuck. It’s pretty obvious when someone is just checking the intersection before moving vs. not even looking at the damn road.

        This goes for more than just driving too. If you’re next in line at the café and you can’t be fucked to think about anyone behind you while you finish sending a text or whatever while the server is waiting to take your order, you’re an asshole. Make your order, pay, then do what you want to do.
