Here's what I'm sick of...

[MR 325]

This thread is great.

What bugs the hell out of me the most is when kids play in the street. Streets are for driving not playing.

Good thing that you probably have rendered yourself sterile from all the weed.

Kids (at least where I live) dont play in the street, but the smaller they are, the more likely they are to chase a ball or a dog, etc into the street without looking. The faster you are going, the harder it will be for you to stop if there is a kid darting out from behind a parked car or the like.

You dont like that, go move out in the sticks where you won't be around it.

[Dave]

i have when theres 3 lanes of traffic and everybodys going the same speed. or when somebodys isnt going fast in the fastlane...

Indeed, lane squatters on the highway are a pain in the ass.

Id tell that principal to shut the fuck up and spend more time with his family.

[german g]

yea, driving slow in the fast lane seems to be really popular here, I tend to go into a raging fury whenever it ends up being some asshole on the phone.

I was driving to work the other day in the slow lane, beacuse there was alot of traffic, when this asshat gets right on my tail, i mean like inches away from me. So I slow give him the "thumbs over" sign, telling him to get in the damn fast lane. He then starts swerving all crazy behind me, still right on my ass..OK, you wanna swerve, I give him a nice deep brake check...lol the guy almost gets sidways and is pissed lol...He then takes out his camera phone and takes a picture of my plate???? WTF, keeps pointing at his phone, like Im scared or soemthing..I dont get it..So, the fast lane is clear, but he is still inches from my ass...ok, you get the sunroof trick now..I reach into my ashtray and grab a handful of pennies, I check for other cars..All clear..and dump them out the sunroof..ping..ping...ping...on your hood asshole...lol...now he gets right beside me and swerves right at me..almost hitting me...then he actually sees me (a 6'2 big skinhead looking guy (im not a skin head though)), he gets a look of terror in his eyes and I brake and get right behind him, now its my turn, I keep a good distance but follow him all the way to some parking lot, well he doesnt get out of his car, but I do. He takes off and I keep following him onto the highway. He then sees a cop parked going the otherway and pulls over, I guess to get the cop lol....I just kept going and my road rage calmed down....DAMN, some people...

[PiercedE30]

^^ damn, that is funny though. I would hate to see what you do when you get really pissed. I like the penny-sunroof thing though. hahaha.

[StrokedSix]

that was entertaining... lets hear some more

[AdironRider]

Haha that penny reminds me of the time I was driving back home with my grandfather. Keep in mind this guys like 80 years old, MIT grad, not one who usually blows his stack. Well that all changes when we get in a car. Everyone who drives faster is a maniac and anyone slower is an asshole. Well were rolling down I-495 through Lawrence Mass when we come up on this beat to shit Honda Accord with 4 g thugs in it going 55 in the fast lane. Wed already been in the car 4 hours and my grandpops was about ready to be done with it and just plain flipped his stack. Id never seen a frail old man swear with such rage in my life. After about a minute of swear filled high beam flashing he floors his Caddy and passes them on the right. He immediately cuts them off and slams on the brakes to slow down to about 45. He then started throwing all his old coffee cups from the back seat out the sunroof at em. I was cracking up laughing until I realized I might be shot. I brought this to his attention and he sped off. I nearly died laughing.

your grandpa is my hero!

[FredK]

fifedog, your grandfather's wallet definitely has "bad motherfucker" embossed in it

[e30vert]

Ok, Well, I will contribute a recent story that really goes hand in hand with "Dont shit where you eat"
Thats the proper saying folks.
In any case, make fun if you want , but about 3 weeks ago I was driving my pickup truck (not the E30vert-thankfully in this case) and decided to pop into KFC for some chicken.
I make the right turn into the driveway of the KFC at about 15 mph which is kinda fast and in front of me is some riced out Red Honda accord.(dropped, body kit, rims, you know the type) and he is backing out really slowly and seems to be just hogging the entire side of the parking lot where people can park. Im impatient and to my left there is more parking , but there is an arrow painted on the ground indicating that traffic can only exit that way. Shit, never stopped me before. I whip around into a far spot on the left and park right below some trees. Probably the most remote area of the parking lot. I jump out to see the dude in the Honda pulling out of the parking lot and this little bitch of a girl is in the passenger seat yelling YOU WENT UP THE WRONG WAY. YOU CANT GO THAT WAY! . Uhhhh, Hello retrarded young slut, I already have and have already parked. Im in no mood , so I yell _ "FUCK OFF", she continues to yell stuff at me that I cant even deciper cause I am yelling "FUCK THE HELL OFF" . They appear to drive off as I figured they would.

So I walk in to get some chicken. Then while pondering either a 2 piece or a 3 piece , extra crispy or original it occurs to me that I left the drivers window down in my haste. Then I think, no worries, that Honda guy is probably still waiting for his testicles to drop and left.


I get my chicken and go out to the truck. Throw the chicken in and sit down in the drivers seat. I feel something underneath me and I know I did not leave anything there. I look down and there is the fold out portion of the 7" LCD VGA screen that I had installed to use with my truck computer. I am in disbelief! The dude must have parked just down the way then ran up the grassy area and opened my drivers door and ripped the screen out and tossed it in my seat as a HAHAHA -fuck you gesture. Then I look up and see the front windshield and upper headliner coated with this spray of some kind of sauce. Turns out to be KFC Barbeque sauce as I found the empty tub on the passenger side totally empty.

I was immensly pissed off and had to drive home and clean off all the residue. I disassembled the dash and washed the entire assembly very well.

I think I will be able to actually repair the flip out screen , but if not then I will take a loss on that.

Moral of the story. Roll up the windows and set the alarm in cases such as this.

If you see a 7" fold out screen in the for sale catagory well then at least you will know the backstory! : )

I will see him again and I look forward to it.

I usually drive safely through my neighboorhood and obey the speed limit, but it just so happened the one day I decide to haul ass around the corner and get sideways in my cul-de-sac was the the day my new neighboors moved in, so I come flyign around the corner, get sideways in the slightly damp weather, roll up into my driveway, toss my cigarette out of my left window (shared driveway, their side, woops).

The mom just sat ther and looked at me.. wooooops.

you smoke in your car? Aww...dude.


All I can say is - when people are idiots around me, I usually downshift and break any and all laws possible to get away from them. if that involves me passing two dipshits both going 5-10 under the speed limit RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER - therefore blocking the road - I'll pass in a turn lane, the suicide lane, if you will.

If I'm in the nieghborhood, I just wave and smile. But, I haven't gotten much attention lately, cause it's summer time and when I drive home, so are all the other adults - from work.

[Jordan325iC]

Just a few weekends ago I was following my friend to his house. He goes "fast" through a corner (not really fast, maybe he was a few mph over the speed limit), I saw it, I noticed a guy on the sidewalk, so I slowed down through the corner. Then he throws his hat as me as I drive away and yells at me to slow down. I was so stunned I didn't even stop.

But however stupid or lame these people may be, I can't really say I blame them. Am I the only person who gets nervous when I'm driving and somebody is walking briskly towards the road? They may be fully aware of the situation and planning on stopping before they walk right infront of my car, but I still get my foot over the brake incase they arn't paying attention. Because you don't have control over other people, you can't anticipate what they may do next. The people in your neighboorhood have children, and they percieve you (often not unreasonably) as a potential threat to them. You may be in complete control, but they will never know that. I can handle their over-procective and nevervous nature, it comes with the territory.

I used to "speed" through my neighboorhood after 1 or 2am, but there were several times after 12am that I was surprised by a family biking. I still don't know what the deal was that, but I don't do it any more.

[e30vert]

Biking after 12 a.m.? Thier fair game at that point!

Stupid is as stupid does , momma always used to say - Forrest Gump

Life is like a box of chocolates , you never know when some dip shit family wants to bike in the pitch black of the night!
