Super User Fishing Rhino Posted February 27, 2012 Super User Posted February 27, 2012 Rude drivers in general who..... Get in the left lane so they don't have to sit in line and then as the left lane ends try to force their way into the right lane. Think that just because you are in the left lane and passing cars on the expressway think that it is ok to tailgate you because you are not going the speed that they want. This is despite the fact that you are already over the speed limit. Tailgate everyone that they follow ( Women seem to be a disproportiante offender ). People who tailgate you even while sitting at a stop light! ??? People who are stopped 20ft behind the car in front of them at a stop light. I'm sure some of the distances might just be my perception but man for some of them it seems like if they so much as fart that they are going to run into me! lol A simple, but often effective cure for tailgaters is to "trail brake" your car. For those who don't know, it's a racing term used to describe a driving technique used mostly at Daytona and Talladega. To slow the car for a turn without backing off the throttle, they will touch or lightly apply the brakes while keeping the pedal to the metal, because to lift off the throttle at the restrictor plate races can cause all manner of problems. So, the next time you have a tailgater, don't let off the throttle but depress the brake pedal enough to activate the brake lights while not actually braking the car. They usually back off after that. 1 Quote

Often times the "tailgater" gives me the dirty look or even the "stink eye" - how dare I hit the brakes like that - didn't I see that they were so close to me - I'm not supposed to do that - At least half the time - they're on the phone and not paying attention to the fact they they are 3 feet off my bumper - I love watching the front end of their vehicle dive to the pavement as they hit the brakes. Bottom line is, I want these "drivers" in front of me, not behind me. A-Jay 1 Quote
tholmes Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Just thought of another...people who ask you a question, then argue with you when you give them an answer. Example: Just the other day, one of my co-workers stuck his head in my office and asked me "What is the capitol of Missouri?" I answered "Jefferson City" Him: No it ain't it's Columbia." IF YOU'RE SO SURE ABOUT IT, WHY DID YOU ASK ME?? Tom Quote
Super User J Francho Posted February 27, 2012 Super User Posted February 27, 2012 People that play games on the highway. Someone tailgates me, I just get over and let them by. No point in screwing with someone that is probably already upset. Quote

Had a similar incident happen with me and my old lady. We went to a pool hall with my aunt and Unc, last time they came up from Tampa. We were having a good time not bothering a soul. When out of nowhere some punk frat boy brushes against my wife while passing and makes a pass at her. I got in his face and some of his buddies come up. (frat boys apparently travel in packs) Anyway words are being exchanged and things start getting REAL tense. Fratty starts to say something, and out of nowhere my aunt busts him in the face with a fricking 18in. long logger chain. Keep in mind now my aunt is 56 years old. He drops and his buddies scatter. We walked out the back door and booked it back to my parents house, where my aunt and Unc were staying. The whole drive there my hind end gets ripped apart because I escalated the problem, and didn't let it go. Quote

scrutch Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Anyone who hurts innocent children! Slow drivers who stay in the left lane. Punk kids that let their pants sag off their butt. The same punk kids that drive their moms 1990 Honda four door and think it's a race car because they've painted the fake after-market ground effects neon green, added a fart bomb muffler, and put a primer gray whale tail spoiler on it! 2 Quote

For some reason she thinks I should know better. This isn't the first time this happened either. When we were in our 20's she was flattered by me defending her honor. Now in our 40's she is flattered she's getting attention from a 20 some year old punk. Go figure. Quote

That's how it works but my wife wants me to get mad and defend her and what not when guys hit on her but I dont. I take it as a complement some one else thinks my lady is hot after kids like I do then im doing pretty good for my self plus who's she in be next to ME! I used to be all hands on throw down when guys even looked at my girl in school or befor meeting my wife but it always ended with me in the dog house anyways or answering to the fuzz why I smashe a pool stick over the back of a guys legs. Luckily iv never gotten charged back in the day. Now it don't bother me hit on her it flatters both us she feels hot I feel good cuz I have her and you don't. Quote

Super User Raider Nation Fisher Posted March 4, 2012 Super User Posted March 4, 2012 I bet she did. Another fun thing to do is argue the point that plants have feelings too. Or explain that you love plants so much that your eating the animals that eat the plants so as to protect the plants. I like screwing with the animal lovers. I'm kind of surprised they haven't put a hit on me yet. Last year they had some kind of rally down here. My buddies and I went and pelted them with bean sprouts and rotten fruit. Never knew that tofu lovers could run that fast! Quote

Super User A-Jay Posted March 6, 2012 Super User Posted March 6, 2012 you just described all of people in this earth, everyone has done thieving, lying and being ignorant That's a fairly grim and narrow perspective regarding your fellow man.
