Road Rage

[Shwa Girl]

Because I'm such a jive turkey, I asked him if he wished to punch me. He declined. I told him to beat it, he did.

what is this term, jive turkey?
is it Old English?
does it go with gravy?

[Shwa Girl]

I tend to let them go, because they are not worth it
They may be in a ditch up the road a bit
The police will catch them -- if not today, tomorrow, as they get bolder

They must have tons of insurance money or have a good mechanic -- eventually they will need both -- insurance and mechanic

Why you got some gravy?

I get out of my car. Realizing I could pacify him in 2 seconds, he changes from his aggressive tone to tell me in a whiny voice that my lane change skills suck.

OK, I am I the only one that wants to know what you look like Vesper? For... reference reasons...yeah...

[vesper]

Here I am! (you seen me before?)

I am guilty of road rage. BUT only if people do the afore mentioned stupid things to me. I don't go ape crap on people for driving slow due to road conditions, weather etc.

A car was tailgating me despite my speed of 10 km over the limit. The driver decided to change into the left-hand lane and raced to the red light, which I then caught up to. I could tell the the driver was angry because she took off like a bat out of h*ll with the green light, cutting me off in the process. I think she felt mighty proud of herself because she 'beat me out of the blocks.' She must have been going over 100 km/hr (in a 50 km zone) when she passed the speed cop.

(I enjoyed that laugh.)

Usually if someone is tailgating me I just pull over and let them pass me. While I don't think that tailgating is appropriate, I think that some drivers are inconsiderate.

This is something I don't understand. If you can see it's a red light, then why the heck do you need to speed to get to it?

This happens to me quite a bit when I try to change lanes... people speed to get to the red light and don't let you change lanes. It honestly doesn't make sense to me.

If you end up behind them or beside them, what my husband usually does is make a slow clap at them as if to say "wow look at you getting to a red light, want a sticker?" LOL

lol my husband does the same "slow clap" thing! So funny

Where I live, people drive me nuts. They'll travel 60 in a 40 zone, then do 60 in an 80 zone! Well...at least they're consistent with their speed lol

That happened to me once! I accidentally cut someone off (totally my fault) and the guy followed me up my street and into my parking lot, honking the whole way. He got out of his car and tapped on my window while I was gathering my purse, it turns out it was my super. He yelled at me for nearly 10 minutes saying I almost dented his brand new truck, now I'm scared to call him to fix stuff in my apartment!

[Shwa Girl]

Can't believe some people on the 401 last night. Driving on the side of the road to go - where? Emergency vehichles can't get through on the shoulder -- if you are there, dude?1?

Honked at them and they look at me like - what's your problem, lady.
Arrrhgh!

At least I made it home.
At least it bright, sunny now and a touch of snow in The Shwa

I just "love" the people who do not know how to use a passing lane correctly. They enter the passing lane and speed up to 100 - 110 km so that no one passes them ( thinking that that is the speed that they will run at) , then when they exit the passing lane, they slow down to 85-90km. What the ****!
