You're making up your own rules based on what you think is "fair." You could go to the end of the lane the way you're supposed to, but you choose not to. So why does it bother you when someone else follows normal driving etiquette instead of following some imaginary rules you made up?

Bad example.
In both my bank analogy AND in the situations I describe above it is completely obvious that there are a lot of people lined up, and you can see that they are lined up for the same thing (in the case of this discussion, they are lined up to take a highway on-ramp).
For you to say "You 200 cars are all fucking stupid and I am right, so I will drive around your line and form my own" make you an "asshole".
"So why does it bother you when someone else follows normal driving etiquette instead of following some imaginary rules you made up?"
Because I am doing the same thing as the OTHER 150 CARS WAITING IN LINE. It is only the rare FEW that don't see it that way and thin it is OK to pass them all on the right and wedge themselves in up front.
Where I come from they call that "special ED".
