View Full Version : A** Hole Drivers
Ok last night I was coming home from work and I was just cruzing along. When a car came up behind me and started to flash his brights at me. I hate it when people do that. So I thought I would play a little game with them. Being that I live in the middle of nowhere and I Know where all the passing zones are (there arnt that many) I slowed way down where they couldnt pass and then speed up where I knew the passing zones were. Its not like I was going slow in the first place. If they hadnt flashed the brights into my eyes then I wouldnt have cared and I would have let them pass nice and easy like. I really hate people like that.

uh yeah . . .

I'm back here!!! http://www.aliensoup.com/ubb/smilies/furious.gif http://www.aliensoup.com/ubb/smilies/tickedoff.gif

yeah sometimes I really don't understand people. Actually I usually don't understand those people. I mean why is the human race so selfish and self-centered? (minus a few thoughtful unselfish people. I mean if a person is going into a faster lane, isn't the idea to go faster? If a person is going into a slower lanes, shouldn't that person have already put on their breaks to slow down a bit before changing lanes? OH and those who change lanes and put on their turning signals when they are already halfway into the lane. I mean I think I get the idea at that point. I believe the blinker goes on *before* switching lanes...am I wrong?

Yeah that blinker thing bothers me too. Why cant some one put on their blinker before they change lanes. I mean I have no problem letting people get over if they just let me know that they want over. So I end up getting cut off and that just pisses me off.
----------------------------
uh yeah . . .

Speaking of blinkers, how about those people who just turn on a four lane road without putting on their blinkers. I mean, we are talking 45 mph zones. They are just asking to get rear ended. Commenting on the fast lane thing, I live in FL....full of retired people. I despise it when they clog both the fast and slow lanes with the slow driving!! http://www.aliensoup.com/ubb/smilies/tickedoff.gif We have places to go, fellas! I mean, that's fine if you want to drive slow, but stay in the SLOW lane! http://www.aliensoup.com/ubb/smilies/mad.gif

Of course, it's always fun to piss of the people that pissed you off. Since I drive a baby SUV, it's puts me up higher than most people, so my brights go right in their rearview mirror. That and tailing people..I did that to someone coming out of my neighborhood one night. Don't get me wrong, though, I hate idiot drivers. And I fuss at my mom for not using her turn signal to switch lanes http://www.aliensoup.com/ubb/smilies/lol.gif

Ohhhh! And what about those people who just drive around with the turn signal on and they NEVER turn or I really cant stand it when they turn left when the blinker says right.http://www.aliensoup.com/ubb/smilies/mad.gif

Here's another fun game to play on the interstate. You start passing someone and get around them in a hurry because you want to let the guy that came up on you by. Well, he's definitely an @$$hole and starts whipping into the slow lane thereby cutting off the driver in front of him, but you change lanes with him. I mean...zero patience, right? He then whips back into the fast lane and right around you. 5 miles later, you exclaim with joy as the state trooper just bagged this @$$hole!!!
I have actually played that game a few times. Unfortunatly it never did come to such a gratifying conclution but it was fun to piss them off never the less. And yes those people who drive with the blinker on for like 3 days streight really piss me off. I slow down a little to let them come over and then I realize that they just left it on and I was wasting my time slowing down. I really hate it when truck drivers do this. I mean I dont want to go past a truck who is going to change lanes right into me. Stupid @$$ drivers.

uh yeah . . .

Oh, it was great, Prox. In one case the state trooper was there just as the person was flying by me. http://www.aliensoup.com/ubb/smilies/supergrin.gif HAH HAH!!! http://www.aliensoup.com/ubb/smilies/tongue.gif Oh, those truck drivers who want to change lanes into you scare me to death. One almost did. Talk about having to stand on my brakes and then pray no one was behind me. Too bad it was dark and I couldn't see the number to call and turn them in. http://www.aliensoup.com/ubb/smilies/furious.gif Now that I have a cell phone, if that happens again, I will go after the driver's job. That's just too dangerous.

so one time im driving through beverly hills, and my friend and i are stopped at a light with a guy on a motorcycle is next to us. so the light turns green and i gun it, cause thats how i drive. so i guess the motorcycle thought he was ahead of me or something (he musta been pretty stupid) cause he swerves into me, but at the last second sees me there and swerves back. so he stops, and i stop cause im kinda scared so i tell him to go. just go. so as hes turning and im leaving i roll down the window and scream "learn howto ride yer damned motorcycle!"
so we're driving down rodeo drive and the next thing i see, this guy on the motorcycle caught up with me and is now in front of me slamming on the breaks. i swerve to avoid him in the other lane. so i try to outrun him. little do i know that motorcycles have better acceleration thatn does my acura. im we're racing, im trying to outrun, and i look forward and i suddenly see there is a stopped car in my lane. poop. so i swerve into his lane to try to not hit the parked car. he pulls infront of me and just starts waving his finger. like naughty naughty
then he left
the moral of the story:
dont piss people on motorcycles off. they are angrier than normal people. faster too

Holy sh*t, Finity. Be careful, dude! I mean, you don't wanna kill yourself trying to prove a point to this jerk off. http://www.aliensoup.com/ubb/smilies/lol.gif I know of a few times that I've turned my head just for a second and turned back in time to see a stopped car. Jeez, it can be scary out there, really. http://www.aliensoup.com/ubb/smilies/lol.gif
Man Finity Racing through the city is Crazy. I do that stuff in the country. No stopped cars. You are right about motorcycles though. They seem to have a bad adtiude. I really hate it when you are driving on the freeway and they drive inbetween lanes. That always Scares the **BEEP** out of me when they drive by my window.

Hearing the story of the person who had someone pull up behind them flashing their brights, reminded me of an idiot driver we ran into. Our neighbors dog got bit by a snake, the closest vet hospital was 50 miles away at the time. She had been bit on the face and her whole face was swelling up terribly. We grabbed their dog,jumped in the truck and were trying to get to the animal hospital as fast as we could.
There were two lanes of traffic, the right lane was packed so we were in the left. We had our four-way flashers on. Four girls in a car with Georgia license plates zigged over into the left lane. They kept pace with the right lane traffic, blocking us off completely. By now, the dog is starting to make a wheezing sound as her throat is closing up... we still have a good 20 miles to go. My husband flashes his lights, honks the horn - they won't move over. Turning around looking at us and laughing like the stupid bimbos they were. Finally after about 10 miles one of the stupid jerks figured out that something must be wrong - and they pulled over. By that time, I was so ticked off I was literally shaking with rage. (I can see why people shoot other people in an instant of road rage). We got the dog to the clinic in the nick of time, her gums were taking on a bluish tinge, she was going into deep shock. As soon as we got there - they rushed her right in and were able to save her. Barely. Another few minutes and her airway would have been completely shut off.
Just a thought - but the next time someone comes up behind you flashing their lights... you might not be able to see their four-ways over their regular lights. You could be holding up someone on the way to the hospital with their kid next time. I always pull over or let someone around, just in case. Hey, if they're just being a butt-head I firmly believe they'll get theirs. They're usually the people who can't figure out why life is treating them so unfairly.

That's some story BL. That's why I try to stay away from snakes, not that we have any poisonous ones around these parts.
I haven't often seen drivers flashing lights to let them pass. Canadians tend to do that, but they also drive with their headlights on.
----------------------------
my eyes, the goggles do nothing
In my own defence I knew that they were just being jerks. I agree that in some cases the people are in a hurry and they really need you to pull over. In a situation like that i wouldnt even hesatate. But when they are just being jerks and flashing their brights then i get pissed.
liltaz-i say that if there is a person doing 20 in the fast lane Flash their @$$. There should be a law against going that slow.

uh yeah . . .

Those are the times we do it, Prox. If they're not going somewhere around 10-20 above the speed limit, they get flashed.

Arghhhhh!! tell me about it! My BIGGEST pet peeve is ******* drivers. But when you combine ******* drivers with ******* highway repair people, things get much much worse. Let me explain. You know how when they close a lane down to work on it, they line those delightful little orange arrows and cones along the zoned-off the lane to "gradually" close it off? Well, tonight it seems they got lazy. Why use 10 gradual arrows, when you could just use ONE big one, stuck in the direct middle of the lane unexpectedly! And after that little encounter, at the *next* closed off lane, a guy stuck in there decided to emerge right into my lane ahead of me as I was coming straight down the lane at 75! I actually had to swirve into the left lane (thank God no one was there), to avoid my second accident of the night. And this is all within 15 minutes. I love the Rants section sometimeshttp://www.aliensoup.com/ubb/smilies/smile.gif

I guess the problem is there are so many @$$holes who do this that we ignore it if there really is a problem.
I knwo we do this sometimes. If there's an idiot in the fast lane going 20mph we flash em.

Thanks for asking, hon. http://www.aliensoup.com/ubb/smilies/smile.gif I meant my 2nd "near accident", not my 2nd accident. Yikes, big...uhh, "typo". Actually, "brain lapse" is more like it. But,yep, I'm fine -- I would (and probably should) have been extremely shaken up, if I wasn't so fuming mad at the stupid red camaro (and its contents) that cut in front of me at 10 miles an hour. My first almost-accident, was my near collision with an orange arrow and cone. I91 is a MESS. My poor baby saab...It's been to hell and back tonight. I think I owe saaby a deluxe car-wash tommorow.

Glad to hear everything is okeydokey. Now you be careful with all those mean drivers out there. Next time it happens you chase them down, yank them outta the car and kick their effin arse! Then remember to be polite wish them a G'Day Mate!
