More road rage!

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

Today, while out running errands, I was stopped at a green light waiting to make a left turn. There was no green arrow and there were cars coming from the opposite direction pulled into the left-turn lane, so I couldn't see oncoming traffic behind them.

While I was waiting, the person behind me started honking. I showed them my naughty finger and turned when I could see there was nobody coming.

I stopped at a gas station to gas up when a car pulled behind me. Turned out to be the person who honked at me before--a scraggly, sawed-off groaty looking woman.

Groaty woman: Hey, nice driving there, asshole!
Me: Why thank you.
Groaty Woman: Eat shit, you (stream of various and sundry curse words)
Me: (getting back into my car after finishing pumping gas) You know what? Ram it up your ass and get a yeast infection, you sperm-burping crotch dropping.

And then I left while Groaty Woman was still shouting at me.

Seriously, WTF was her malfunction? I'm not going to risk getting broadsided so you can shave a couple seconds off your commute to wherever you're going. I've said it before and I'll say it again: People around here DO NOT know how to drive.

Don't you love how she was in *such a rush* but had time to stop to let you know she didn't like how you were driving?

Some people.

damn, you must live in Utah....

yet more proof that there needs to be a common sense test used before giving someone a license. If we did that, then it would take about 70% of people off the road and I'd bet that the number of accidents drops by 80% in a year.

yes I made those percentages up, really it's wishful thinking but hey it never hurt to dream right? Unless you're on Elm Street...

Me: Ram it up your ass and get a yeast infection, you sperm-burping crotch dropping.

Oooo.. I like that one! I have to write that one on down!

Oooo.. I like that one! I have to write that one on down!

Great minds think alike Sandman!

*blink...bites tounge, shakes head and wanders off*

[RecoveringKinkoid]

I cannot begin to fathom what level of insane foolishness would cause someone to walk up to a stranger's car and start talking shit like that. All the crazy people out there with weapons and mental problems and somebody's going to go up to someone and start shooting of their mouth?

Crazy lady's gonna get shot in the face, if she makes a habit of this.

[marasbaras]

Crazy lady's gonna get shot in the face, if she makes a habit of this.

Raise your hand those who will mourn her absense.

[ArcticChicken]

Raise your hand those who will mourn her absense.

*sits on hands*

[STEELMAN]

I had that exact scenario happen, except i was the person in back. The lady ahead did decide to go while I was chanting in my head, don't do it, don't do it.
She got T-Boned by a car coming at aboy 50 mph, spun her around, and slammed her into a light pole. It's not worth it.

I don't use my middle finger anymore. My air freshener does it for me.

I don't think it wise either for people to hunt someone down and attack them for their driving.

[ForestDragon]

They make a flip-the-bird air freshener?

Is there such a thing as pedestrian rage? I ask 'cause I get soooo pissed when I have to come to a dead halt on the sidewalk or even leap backward out of reach when I have the right-of-way 'cause some submoron blows around the corner never glancing in my direction yapping on the goddamn cell phone.

Have I mentioned lately I hate cell phones? Especially in cars...

[Sylvia727]

Hell yes there is pedestrian rage! I live in a college town, populated mainly by 2nd or 3rd generation Entitlement Whores. They have cars. I don't. They think it's oh-so-fucking hilarious to scream at me, or swerve to hit me, or gun it through crosswalks. I hate them.
