It's a bunch of stressed, impatient parents who just want to grab their kid and get out, but are apathetic to everyone else trying to do the same. If all these other people weren't here they could do this so fast, why won't everyone get out of their way? It's a highly concentrated dose of the "Im gonna get mine and the rest of you can fuck right off" mentality. And, like most shitty driving behaviors, it feeds into itself. It makes good drivers make bad decisions because, if they don't, they're not going anywhere. "No one is letting me in, so if I dont cut someone off, I'm going to be stuck here another 15 minutes" type shit. I dont know why well-built pickup and drop-off areas aren't required for building schools past 1990, but here we are.

When I leave my home street, (on my bicycle,) I have to make a left hand turn. This means that I don't proceed through the intersection until it's safe, and I turn from the middle of the lane. My bike also has blinking turn signals, because people are dumb and don't understand hand signals for turns. I had one of my neighbors behind me honking and screaming at me because I wasn't turning fast enough for her liking. I screamed at her that I wasn't turning until it was safe, and she could eat my ass. Then I got off my bike in the middle of the road and proceeded to dance the running man for 30 seconds before getting back on to attempt my left hand turn again. Fuck cars and the people that drive them.
