Amen to that...I've run across a similar group in San Francisco once. This was compounded by the fact that I had just gotten off a 12 hour shift and was trying to get to the base of operations...which was right by Pac Bell Park...during the World Series, just as a game was beginning...

Wound up sitting in traffic for over an hour just to get past their traffic jam (and another hour or so in stadium traffic)...to say the least, I was incensed...
