In Portland I got so frustrated with cars who would "kindly" yield to me out of the blue when I didn't have the right of way, for this very reason. I don't mind waiting an extra moment to eliminate my chance of getting smeared by the car in the other lane that can't see me.

Wait so it’s really, REALLY open now???

Me in 2014, fresh to DC: wait there’s no train to Dulles?

Me in 2016: wait they just started building it?

Me in 2020, just returned to DC: man it’s nice they have a train to Dulles now—- wait it’s still not open?!?

Me now: this can’t be a thing
