Default What's wrong with people

Just a little rant. So driving into work this morning, I'm just cruising along like I normally do. I'm at the point where the freeway is splitting off into two directions. The three right lanes are going in my direction. So I'm in the far left of those three lanes and theres a 05+ V6 Mustang in the lane next to me (on my right). As I start getting closer, he starts to floor it. I'm like whatever. He starts slowing down a bit and I speed up a bit cause cars are about to merge on my left. I get along side him and start passing him and the ****** is flipping me off. What the hell did I do to him. Apparently someone crapped in that guys cheerios this morning, or he was thinking damn, I should've got a GT. haha

Anyways, people are dumb.

He must have wanted to go to the left and was too stupid to get in the correct lane. He probably thought it was all your fault because you blocked him in.
This is an easy mistake to make since most freeways have HUGE FREAKING SIGNS a mile beforehand telling you what's about to happen.
At least he didn't cut you off and almost run you off the road, then flip you off like some kids in an Escort did to me a few years back. I didn't have my trusty putter in the back seat that day so I showed 'em how easy a Mustang can push an Escort.

If he was going to try to merge, he should have put his blinker on. It's his own damn fault if he didn't.

I don't think he wanted to get over cause he still had plenty of room to do that. I didn't speed up and pass him until after the split. I think he was just a moron.

LOL...ive been flipped off too..

it was around 130am and i was driving home (not drunk,lol) and this neon passes me up going about 90 or 100mph...I caught up to him. I was side by side. Then he floors it and take off. He gets about 2 cars ahead of me b4 i catch up to him. I didnt even floor it....LMAO. He does that a couple of times as i do the same. And all i see is a finger...LOL

I guess that neon was trying a little bit too hard. Dang those things are slow

Me too. It's fine to not use them at times, but not when someone is behind you. I hate when people go to turn into a drive somewhere and they don't use there signal. They just mash on the brakes to take the turn nice and slow.

I was driving down the street once, and this guy pulls out of a parking lot just as I'm passing and totally cuts me off an makes me slam on my brakes. I drive past him and he flips me off. Apparently I didn't give him enough room to cut me off.

I hate it more when people going down the interstate leave there turn signal on for miles, and especially like this morning when this guy in this huge **** excursion is near the left inside divider wall and has his left turn signal on for miles!

for the luv of gawd, turn the damn thing off!

well if the way you conduct yourself on here is any indication of how you behave in real life, you probably deserve to be flipped off.


















lol...

I bout stopped and slapped a bitch.

Here is what happened.

We are both at a 4 way stop she gets there a little before me but since she is at the opposite side from me I'm like no big deal we both get to go. She tried to turn in front of me which would have been fine if she had been using a blinker, she wasn't I'm more than positive. She jumps on the brakes and makes some crazy pissed of motion and opens her mouth like shes yelling at me.

I had my window down and realized what she was doing so I flipped her the bird and as I was going by her car yelled out my window as loud as I could "BLINKER ******!!"

I really hope she heard me

Lul...Me and my buddies were cruisin around, and stopped at a stoplight. The people in front of us move forward a bit, then the lady who was in the car cleaners to my right whips out in front of us, and glares at us giving us the finger slowly by. There were 5 of us in one car so she got more than double her message back to her :P Also she didnt have right of way or her blinker on so was completely her fault

I've got a pretty good story about proper use of the horn. I was walking to class one morning comming up to a cross walk to get to the science building here on campus. It's one of the most backed up cross walks on campus due to a busy street and a lot of students causing traffic to stop for them to walk across, right of way for pedestrians and all. Well as I'm getting closer to the crossing, I hear someone constantly honking the horn, "honk, honk, honk, honk.....", Not blaring it but short impatient honks. WTF are the people infront of you going to do? They have to stop for people walking across.

As soon as Im about to cross the street this mother ****** (it's a woman) doesn't wait for any pedestrian to walk across. She nearly runs over my foot. I punch the back side window of her shitty *** car and nearly bust it out. I didn't plan on doing it but just rather out of instinc or frustration. She hit her brakes and put her hands up like "what?" I had thought it was a guy and he was about to get out, that's when I realized it was a woman. So no fight ensued. Everyone kinda stared at me till I got into the building. ******* better stop at cross walks or I will throw my bike out in front of your ****, or punch windows. LOL

I dont let people do that to me anymore. I speed up and make sure there is NO room between me and another car. However I will often purposely let someone in if its bad traffic or whatever.

I got flipped off yesterday too. But I deserved it. There is an open road with two lanes going in each direction on my way to my house and there was some high school student flying doing this road, easily 30mph faster than the speed limit, so before this idiot caught up to me I sped up to get next to someone going about 5 under the speed limit and boxed them in. This is how I get people pulled over in town because it really pissed them off so they go WAY fast when the person blocking them turns or whatever. This idiot goes flying passed me all pissed off, gets about a quarter-mile up the road slows down just enough to not get caught by a speedtrap, slows down enough for me to catch up again, flips me off then drives off. That left me with a supreme sense of accomplishment for the day.

Anyway, the moral of the story is that people are stupid self-absorbed douchebags with their own agendas who feel like their middle finger actually has some magical power or something crazy like that. To them I say this....suck it.

I tend to believe that my Mustang is invisible sometimes. I just wish I could figure out how to turn the invisibility on when I need it.

GDP will tell you how it is around here. I'll be cruising down a long, straight road with noone in front or behind me for miles, and a car will pull up to a side street, and just whip out in front of me while I'm traveling 60-65mph. Not just in front of me, enough to where I have to put the Bullitt brakes to work, and really slam on them. This happens to me multiple times a week, I don't understand it. I even chased one guy down back country roads after he did it, until his POS car started spewing antifreeze on my windshield, and blowing smoke everywhere. I figured I had made my point about how upset I was at him by then.

The only thing I can come up with, since it happens to me so often, is that my Bullitt has a cloaking device built in, and turns itself on everytime I pass through an intersection. I just wish I could find the switch.

speaking of deserving to get flipped off, I accidently ran a stop sign in a shopping center heh. To my credit I just moved to the area and am not familiar with where the stop signs and everything are. And it was partially hidden by some shrubbery.

Was almost hit by a minivan lol. Funny thing was they almost didnt stop, and they themselves were almost at a stop when comming into the T. So I knew they seen me, but decided to get as close as possible to my passenger side I guess.

I will steer towards people, or not slow down and get really close if people cut me off as long at they are not headed towards me. I know how fast my car can stop. I won't brake check people becuase I know I can stop faster than them. One buy was driving across a wal-mart paking lot, perpendicular to the rows. I didn't slow down like he thought I was going to and nearly made him **** his pants, I could see his eyes.
