Seen any crazy drivers lately? Did you bust out with some road rage?

Surprisingly, I haven't. But I can tell you what I HATE! I HATE when someone pulls out in front of me because they just can't wait til I pass, even though I'm the only car in site for miles. I don't give a shit if they don't wanna be behind me, that's what passing is for. It drives me up the wall ESPECIALLY if they're turning left and they have to go in front of me.. UGH!

Another thing similar to that is when I'm driving on the Interstate and the car in the right lane just HAS to get over to the left lane and squeeze in the middle of two people going 90, therefore having to slam on their brakes once they get inside, making the car behind them also have to slam on their brakes, nearly causing an accident..all while driving me up the fucking wall!

Sorry. :)

I just love people who drive in the left lane and wait until the absolute last possible second to get over in the right lane to exit. This is especially fun when there are like, four lanes of traffic to cross through.

I hate it when people are too busy smoking cigarettes to drive correctly.

ARGH....over Memorial Day weekend....actually, specifically ON Memorial Day (observed), I was driving home to Minneapolis. On the INTERSTATE, where the speed limit is 70, there is this idiot woman driving 20. NO KIDDING. Also, she is in the passing lane, aka the FAST LANE. Was she driving slowly because of heavy traffic? No. There were like, 10 car lengths ahead of her, three cars.

So I get up to pass, and then there is an SUV on my right, and it speeds up so I can pass, and the freakish woman speeds up so she's in line with the SUV. I'm honking and swearing and seriously thinking of passing on the other side (in a ditch) or running her off the road and then getting out of my car and screaming at her, yelling basic things I learned in drivers' ed ("The left lane is for people who drive FAST!"). Luckily, the SUV dropped back and let me pass.

So I passed, giving Pokey a dirty look (I probably made obscene gestures, too), and she just stared at me, clueless. As I went up the hill, I watched....the growing line of cars...as they piled up behind her.....GAWD.

What is with people getting into the turn lane and THEN turning on their turn signal. DUH?!

Yes it finally happened. I saw this guy talking on his mobile phone, AND smoking, while driving. Erm, do you have four arms? No.

Speed annoys me. Either going too fast or too slow. For a while I thought everyone was going slow and then found out my Spedometer was 10 miles off.

Driving, for me, is an exercise in temper control. The following people are worthy of my ire, and occasionally my finger.

Tailgaters. You can all DIE!! The LAW says you MUST be back far enough for me to SLAM on my brakes, and STOP, and you be able to stop without hitting me. If you hit me, you are at fault, because you were too close. It doesn't matter if I stopped to scratch my ass. SO BACK OFF!!!! I've had an expereince with this, can you tell?

People in the fast lane going slower than everyone else. Here's the rule. If you are traveling as fast as, or slower than the people in the lane to the right of you, get in it. Repeat this assment for any further lanes to the right.

The Spastic Lane Changer. Usually someone between the ages of 16 and 25, usually male. These are the people who ride the ass of the person in front of them, until there's an opening in a nearby, faster lane. The opening need only be large enough for a small toaster, but the SLC (Spastic Lane Changer) will JERK their car into this spot with such ferocity, their car rocks several times once in position. They will repeat this over and over. You die too. JUST DIE!!!

And finally (and I'm going to piss some people off here... heh) anyone driving an SUV. SUV's are the ULTIMATE EXPRESSION OF HUMAN ARROGANCE!!! First off, the pollution emission standards for SUV's are 8 time HIGHER than for cars. Meaning, and SUV pollutes the air EIGHT TIMES MORE THAN A CAR!! Second, if you drive an SUV, don't you DARE complain about the rising price of gas. Because, GUESS WHY IT'S SO EXPENSIVE!!! YOU!!! Your land-boehemouth sucks up gas at alarming rates, leaving less for those of us with cars. Third, let's analize the term SUV. Sports Utility Vehicle. How many of you use it for sport? Like off roading, camping or just country driving? How many of you use it for utility? Like hauling ... ANYTHING? You have kids you say? GET A MINIVAN!! Need to actually haul something? GET A PICKUP TRUCK!! ALL YOU GODDAMN NEO-YUPPIES IN YOUR CADILLAC ESCALADES, ON YOUR CELL PHONE, DRIVING TO GODDAMN STARBUCKS JUST DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE!!!!! Arrogant bastards. Your SUV parked in my Compact Car spot, or in front of me at a stop light so I can't see anything in front of you (including the light), or in 4 wheel drive, thinking you can drive faster in snow (sure, you can GO faster, but you STOP just like everyone else), I HOPE YOU BLOW YOUR FIRESTONE TIRES, ROLL INTO AN IKEA STOREFRONT, AND KILL YOURSELF AND ALL YOUR EDDIE BOWER BRETHREN!!!!

i live in houston, at the moment a large blemish of a lake on the US map. crazy drivers? everyone has transformed into a crazy driver in the past 48-72 hours. it is a strange sight indeed to see tractor trailers floating down a highway you've driven on many many times before, cars hidden by twenty feet of water on the street you take to get coffee, and a main thoroughfare that you've driven on all of your life become a parking lot for abandoned cars. the closest thing to road rage i've developed is when a friend of mine flooded out his car on the way home friday night and wouldn't leave the damn thing on the side of the road. i haven't seen him since; perhaps he busted out some oars and got home. i did, however, see his car--all by itself at midnight in the grocery store parking lot.

I agree... I've noticed that drivers in Texas are the stupidest around. For some reason, they like to drive through flooded out streets! I'm in San Antonio and I just have to laugh when they show people floating around on top of their cars. What morons.

I just love it when I'm going a good 10-15mph over the speed limit and there's someone on my ass. When they finally decide to pass me, I decide to flip on my brights and ride THEIR ass, assuming of course that it is night time. :)

The thing that gets on my nerves the most about drivers is when they turn on their turn signal, switch lanes then forget to turn off their damn turn signal.

-- Anonymous, June 19, 2001

Or when they just forget that their turn signal exists...

what's up with fuckers who wont merge until the last possible moment, holding up the non-merging lane of traffic until someone let's them in or until they practically kill someone in the merging lane by cutting them off. jackass.

hmmm...this is gonna dig my own grave....women drivers are psychotic, there's this one woman, my friend fell out with her daughter or somehting and she's tried to knock me down three times now. Every tiome I cross the road and she's there she accelerates, I was even in the high street and she swerved into the pavement about 2 inces from breaking my legs in that goddamn van/people carrier thing of hers. So there you have it, women drivers are psychotic.

Oh my god...how the hell did I come across this site?...hmmm... themes.litestep.com > www.hoe.nu > http://www.vitriolic.net/ > http://www.vitriolic.net/yeah/link.htm > www.digink.com ... ffs

Yes, someone needs to learn that the plural (or in this case *synonym*!) of anecdote is not data...
