Yea, so.... what would YOU do if you needed to get in the left lane to get off at an upcoming exit and someone in a Ford Explorer decided to pull out around you and gun the engine because she figures you're not going fast enough?

Well, if you were me, you'd gun the engine too and block her off, then keep the rear quarter panel at her front bumper and nudge her off the side of the road.

I didn't hit her, and she was smart enough to move over, but I pulled partway between the two lanes and forced her partially toward the cement wall for about 75 feet before I ducked back in my lane and cut off the engagement.

I think people don't take me seriously when I say I'm fed up with these self-centered cockblocking fuckwits and I'm not taking their shit anymore. Oh, you want to race up past me at 25 over the speed limit (and then make a RIGHT from the original lane not 1/8 of a mile later) and be a tough old bitch because you're too fucking stupid to drive a normal vehicle? Because you think you can scare ME? Fine, we'll play you gawdy old whore.

And before you lord-and-saviours of decent society give me shit, consider this: the dumb bitch was driving an Explorer at 75 mph on a 55 road into a blind stretch where it's not uncommon to come upon a sudden line of backed up traffic AS she tailgated a Neon. Which would you prefer, that some psychofuck like me causes a fiery crash and kills her and me, or I just laugh it off and let her keep driving like that on the same road as you drive your kids on?

I'm not fucking with these people anymore. I'll put up with a certain level of irritation from people, but the sustained, ultra-inconsiderate attitudes that so many of these fuckwads have anymore will not stand. I grabbed some dipshits cart in the grocery store the other day and pushed it into a rack of bread because the stupid fuck had parked it across and aisle and was blocking everyone while she chit-chatted with someone else. I walk out in front of people who run stop signs all the time. Go ahead. Get out of the car you old fuck. I'll beat you like a queer virginian stepchild you fucking geriatric rimshiner.

NO. MORE. I don't think it's too much to ask that people have at least some minor measure of common decency and sense in public, and if they can't engage it themselves, I'll fucking engage it for them.

    Of course they don't. You are not following through. Giving up so easily. She suffered no ill effects. People only understand punishment and reward.
    • Heh. Are you suggesting I should cause random fiery crashes on the highway?
      • I'm not suggestion that, no. I'm simplay saying asking what did you do that made her "learn her lesson?"

        How are your actions going to change the way she acts?

        Ok, so maybe I would like to see some fiery crashes. :)
        • So long as it wouldn't cause danger to a third party, I don't give a shit what TMP does to the asshats. More power to him. BTW, can I get him to run the assholes off the road who tailgate the DE car? How does that help anything? FWIW, if someone is tailgating a student, I don't hold the car on the road. I'll let the student dip onto the unpaved shoulder where it will kick up a few handfuls of gravel onto the offender's hood and windshield.

          But back on topic: do what you want, as long as it doesn't hurt a th
  • Can't even tell you how much I sympathize with you. It's time to fight fire AND dumbness with fire. Glad you've got the balls to start somewhere. Rage is good, the times of appeasement to every shithead are over.
    • The problem is that the dumb assholes that cause this kind of crap already rage at you for existing. Raging against them IS fighting fire with fire of course, but I don't think that tact works. It just makes *you* as mad.

      Nah. I think instead of getting mad, just shoot the fuckers--carry a gun and when some fucknad acts like an inconsiderate prick and then they give YOU the finger, kill them off. However, keep that between us so the assholes who drive like shit don't start the same.

      P.S. I just drove h
      • I am mad at them for existing already. I am mad at people tailgating, snail-pacing (going 10kph below the speed limit on a clear day), not using their turn indicator, driving in the middle of two lanes, running stop signs & red lights, having obnoxiously loud bass systems or just wasting hectoliters of gasoline for just them and their giant truck they call "car". I hate taxi drivers that keep their engines running to have heating or air conditioning. I hate people driving diesel vehicles without any kin
  • I worry a bit that things could backfire or get out of hand, but overall, as long as you stay on this side of the line and don't cross over to vigilantism, I'm all for such efforts.

    Unfortunately the police seem to show no interest at all in enforcing the laws of traffic other than low-hanging fruit such as red lights and radar traps. Fucking ticket people for tailgating, passing on the right, changing lanes in an intersection, aggressive driving, etc., ya lazy fucktards! (I know not all cops are lazy, but
    • Sorry, but traffic revenue enhancement officers are lazy fucks. If they weren't, they would actually be doing real cop work. In MD, the nuts who want to carry a gun are state cops/revenue enhancement officers. People who believe that 'Serve and Protect' is a calling are county cops.
    • Unfortunately the police seem to show no interest at all in enforcing the laws of traffic other than low-hanging fruit such as red lights and radar traps.

      That is exactly the problem. Around here we got a wide three lane (middle turning lane) that everyone tries to turn into a 5 lane. I've seen 'em do it right in front of cops; the classic I'm in the right side where I *ought* to be turning right when the light changes, but NO I have to speed past y'all on the left, run a risk of smashing into that parked

  • I actually pulled a stunt like this, the woman's not the mad poster's, on my driving test and they failed me. Bastards.

    I only passed 3 trucks going 80 kph at 30 over the speed limit, which is 120 kph, on a stretch of road 600m before an offramp.

    Not that I minded failing, I hate driving and was forced to take the lessons and the test on my bosses dime. That taught them to ignore my wishes.

    The second time it took me only 5 minutes to fail, I decided to speed through an intersection while I should have gi
  • I'm glad I'm not the only one who's tired of the SUV driving morons. Just this morning I played with a pretty youngin' driving a SUV that was probably bought with Daddy's Money. She ran up on my ass (and I mean close enough for me to cringe) in one of the middle lanes and of course, thought I should move out of her way. She finally gave up to go around, and I'd block her everytime she moved. My Maxima had a lot more get-up-n-go than her huge piece of shit did. I finally managed to trap her behind me, and
  • That's the coolest thing! Not only do you get to expend rage on people, but sooner or later you'll either die or kill someone.

    Tell "Ben Dover" in prison I said hi when you do, k?
    • Oh goody! A dissenter!

      Die or kill someone? That's okay, the only two people involved in the tussle were me and the Explorer because the only other car in the vicinity was the Neon which, due to my maneuver that seperated the Explorer and Neon, had gotten the Explorer off its ass end and pulled ahead of us. So either way, society wins, right? I don't think I've EVER intentionally done something dangerous that put anyone but me and the other idiot in danger. I spar with cars at clear passing areas that have
      • Really, my reply didn't require that much text.

        Honestly, I'm all for cleaning up the gene pool, but on the road its just best to let the dumbasses do the damage and stay the hell away. Yeah, ensuring that you are putting yourself and the idiot only in danger is fine and dandy, but any type of collision puts cars out of control, and if you are going above 60mph, you have no idea what the cars will do and you could end up clearing the entire highway with debris. Say you accidentally got into an accident b
  • is that she probably still thinks she was right and that you're an ass when it comes to driving. as will likely be the case with anyone else you try to teach. idiots abound, and no matter what happens to them, they usually don't think it's their own fault.

    my disagreement isn't that people don't deserve that sort of lesson, but that it's useless. imo all it does is raise the amount of rage on the highway without teaching anything to the people who need to be taught.
    • Actually, I did chase somebody down in a grocery store parking lot and demanded an explanation for why they were driving between parked cars across the aisles (she'd almost nailed me). I didn't get an answer, so I told her to try downgrading to a learner's permit until she grew up a little and went off to buy my groceries.

      I also flipped off a woman in a Durango who was running stops signs in a parking lot once and she wound up coming into the store and chasing me down. We had a nice little 'debate' by the
  • A friend of mine told me that the best way to deal with crazy drivers is to laugh at them.
    I tried it once and the results were quite interesting. The driver had been taingating me for about 5 miles in a 55mph zone while I was doing close to 65mph and there was nowhere to change lanes to.
    laughing at her infuriated her and she gave me the finger which caused me to laugh even more.
    Who knew I could get back at crazy drivers and feel good @ the same time?!
  • Huge customised LED sign jury-rigged to the top of your car, possibly a couple of loudspeakers, with journal entries scrolling marquee-like berating the drivers around you with just a push of the big red button similarly wired to your dashboard. You'd be doing them a favour.

    But you really need the loudspeaker and mike.
