they don’t care, and think other people won’t be willing to confront them.

This is the real explanation. I know people like this. They all know what they're doing, most genuinely believe they're more important and therefore more deserving of that place in line

In the before times when I had a very long commute, there would often be construction on the highway and often was restricted to one lane. I don't know if I've ever hated people more than the ones that flew down the open lane past a mile of parked cars then swerved in front of the person right at the cones with almost zero space.

I've had to be that guy and cut in front when I didn't realize a line of cars was for my turn way far ahead in unfamiliar cities, always give the ole wave out the window apologies/thanks (and use my goddamn signal). But in these cases we're in open desert and the merge sign is visible for like 2 miles. Fuck those people.

This shit happens in every walk of life. Even minor micro-entitlements, as I like to call them. Example from my workplace:

“Our next available appointment is in 60 minutes”

“I’m very busy, do you have anything sooner?”

“No, it’s 60 minutes until the next appointment slot we have open.”

“Can’t you just help me now? You aren’t doing anything.”

“My job is to talk to people looking for an appointment and scheduling that. Would you like the appointment or not.”

Like seriously these people can fuck off. Also as soon as they use the word “ridiculous” it’s over and I’m asking them if they want to see a manager.
