Some people are Aholes..
 
I ran my truck through the car wash this afternoon, and as it was pushing me out the other side, some moron in a mini van thinks it is a good idea to sit there in the way. The wash kept shoving my truck forward, and it was obvious I would hit him unless he moved or I braked, which of course you are not supposed to do in an automatic wash. So, I just tapped the horn a few times figuring he had just lost a little situational awareness, and maybe he would realize the wash had me literally within inches of his bumper (and yes, I did end up braking). What does said asshole do? He flips me off of course. Then as he makes his way around the parking lot, he flips me off again, so I return the favor. Had I been able to catch up to him (got blocked in by another car) it might have turned a little ugly, because I don't have tolerance for assholes like that. Yes, I'm sure I would have punched him square in the face. I'm THAT asshole.:yesnod::issues:

I started off being courteous, and was trying to do the right thing. Ol' boy is the one that wanted to be a douche. That said, I'm his huckleberry.....

:lol: Was just telling my oldest daughter about delusional drivers who screw up and then flip YOU off when you tell 'em about it.

Hard to be patient when other folks stupidity puts my property and life into danger. :issues:

Speaking of assholes and hate, I HATE stupid drivers that can't seem to park between 2 white lines. In those situations where I had to struggle to get into my vehicle, I used to leave this business card:

I miss the old days when flipping someone off meant something.

JetMechZ16 05-17-2019 6:37am

You shoulda let your truck hit him and then claimed med injuries and sued him. You coulda owned that mini van!

It does mean something. For me, when he flipped me off, it was an indication that he wanted his ass kicked.:yesnod:

What's the name of the Car Wash, "Assholes Are Us?"

boracayjohnny 05-17-2019 9:20pm

Thursday I'm driving here in the valley. So Devonshire is an East-West two lane street with a middle turning lane. So five lanes, right. I'm in the left lane east bound behind a Honda Accord. All of a sudden the Honda Accord stops. There's ole hag in the right eastbound lane with a Tesla and her left turn signal just a blinking. Ole hag was in the right lane and did a u-turn. The Honda Accord actually stopped and let her. Dumbass.

For cars and pickup trucks!
For the most part I never had much trouble merging into traffic on the fast roads (interstate type) Have lots in my area.

I move down the ramp at a good pace, size up the traffic and found out long ago you better off at a higher speed that the traffic already on the road and you can pick your spot much easier that way.

I have passed idiots on the approach ramp going too slow so I do not get stuck when they get close, look and then stop. (yes I have seen that countless times) If they catch you your next move is also to be trying to get on the road from a dead stop also, not a good situation!

For driving a large truck.
Driving a large commercial truck most people know that when they see you coming up the approach with your turn signals flashing you are coming over, you are telling them that not asking for permission!

This is the way of the world these days. No matter how stupid someone is driving, if you honk at them, even to prevent an accident, you're in the wrong and they flip you off.

Happened to me yesterday. I am approaching an intersection the light is red and I enter the right turn lane no one in front of me. Light turns green and a delivery vehicle that was in the straight-through lane turns right ahead of me. OK, fine you big dummy.

Then after we both turn he comes to an almost complete stop in the right lane so I move into the left lane to pass him, he decides he's going to do an illegal U-turn in front of me. First of all wtf you just came from there. So I honk two quick beeps to let him know I'm on his left so he doesn't drive into me.

He honks back and flips me off. :issues:

Yeah; my bad for honking at you in order to stop you from crashing into me.

Could have been the same asshole I encountered, or at least a relative. I really don't have a short fuse, but assholery like that takes me from 0 to I want to split your wig in about .000000001 of a second.
