("Zipper, man!") at someone who did NOT correctly zipper in. I find it a very cathartic thing to yell at people through <i>my</i> windshield, now.<br /><br />And you can too! Try it: Reißverschluss (RICE-fair-shluss (shluss rhymes with 'puss' as in 'pussycat')), Mann (mahn)! See? didn't that feel great? :)Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14562016488243405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13970003.post-37827668017005588952009-10-26T10:58:40.150-05:002009-10-26T10:58:40.150-05:00Makes sense.

That bugs me! <br /><br />The "zipper" method should also be used in ultra-busy parking lots after venues, like concerts!Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11291453249377516081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13970003.post-9034332759164195142009-10-26T10:48:08.764-05:002009-10-26T10:48:08.764-05:00I got my license 5 years ago and I never heard a w...I got my license 5 years ago and I never heard a word about zipper merging. Now I feel old! <br /><br />also, I am guilty of not zipper merging. the anxiety gets too high and i move over right away.Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15881590483174001768noreply@blogger.com
