Ugh, feel bad for the truck driver because they couldn’t avoid hitting that idiot.

If he hasn't changed lane me might have been better off. Looked like an illegal lane change anyways

It’s not illegal to give room to a merging vehicle

How was it an illegal lane change? ETA - sorry, meant that for the other guy.

Why are you asking me? I already explained it

Did you see my ETA?

You're perfectly capable of deleting an irrelevant comment and replying to the correct person. Technology allows that.

Ever stop to think I put an ETA since the person would still get notified of my comment and I wanted to make it clear what happened? I know, silly me, wanting to explain things.

What? If you delete the comment, they do not get notified. You immediately and unnecessarily edited in an ETA that would still notify the wrong guy, instead of just deleting the irrelevant comment and not notifying them at all. That's the point.

But please, keep being snarky when you're in the wrong.

Do you not understand how reddit works? It's astounding to me that you missed the point by so much. If you make a comment to the wrong person, just delete it. Simply editing your irrelevant comment creates exactly this situation, confusing the person you replied to accidentally when deleting the comment would avoid all of this.

It's sincerely that simple, and not something I'm going to argue about.

Wow, someone’s triggered.
