They were in like a 1985 kia hatchback, it was one of the shittiest cars I have ever seen. The muffler was held up with a bungee cord. I politely informed them that the posted speed limit was 45, and that slow traffic should keep to the right and out of the way. They didn’t take this too kindly lol.

I get to Golf road, and get in the left lane to go through the park towards my house. This jerkoff stops in their lane, flips me off, I return the salute and take my left. They decide to follow me. I hate driving like a bat out of hell, but I just kind of threw caution to the wind. I came to a stop sign with traffic coming, realized I could make it with LOTS of time to spare, and took the turn. That put a few cars between me and Captain Jerkmeoff. Then there are headlights in my driver’s side mirror. What the fuck, seriously? This guy was passing cars in oncoming traffic to get to me. I went way too fast, turned way too fast, and finally got away from the crazy axe murderer. I ended up in St. James’ Square still freaking out. I parked and went to Starbucks and nearly jumped whenever I saw a car pull in. Is this a normal occurance?! Are people really that fucking crazy that they’ll chase you for passing them?

I had to drive to the beginning of Garden State Parkway in NJ (Exit 14a on I-87) to drop off some of my remaining Maxima parts that I’m trying to sell and pulling out of those toll boots on I-87 (right before the 3 lanes start for the remainder of the ride into NYC) some old dude kept trying to merge into my lane with me having no where to go. Guy merging Me honking Guy merking Me honking Guy merging Me honking Guy merking Me honking I finally found some room to work with and blew outa that situation like a bat outa hell, only to see his old lady give me one dirty look. Seriously? Your old man obviously can’t see OR hear and it’s MY fault? Get out. * * * About a year ago I was driving into work (9W in Glenmont - 55mph) and there was a trucker parked on the shoulder near Jericho Drive-Ins. As I’m approaching, he decides to pull out (without using his signals mind you - he still had his hazards on) forcing me to either slam on my brakes or shoulder it and go around him. Since I was already slightly late for work, I didn’t have to sit behind his ass the remainder of the way into the office so I passed him on the shoulder. Granted, I’m breaking the law and I admit it. BUT there were no cars behind me so he could have waited another 10 seconds for me to pass him and then pull out. Anyway…two lights down the road what do I see? His door open. _jaws music playing_ Out comes the Hunchback of Notre Dame. This dude was literally like 70 years old. One strong hit and I’d probably kill the guy (and I’m not exactly a brute - I’m your average 22 yr old somewhat athletic guy). So he comes up to my window, pounds on it hard once and starts cussing me out lol. I look at him, smile, and with my actions dare him to punch it again (at which point I would have left my vehicle and continue to have a confrontation with the old man). He thought better of it and stormed back to his truck. Smart choice my man, smart choice. Next time don’t pull into traffic at the last second. I hate people who do that. They pull out and then don’t get up to speed fast enough (cars included) forcing you to break hard. If you’re going to jump out in front of my when I’m doing 60, then get up to speed ASAMFP. Or like yesterday…during my return trip from NJ. Me, a newer Acura MDX, and a Minivan were locked in at 80 on cruise. Jackasses kept pulling into the left lane doing 65. Granted we were speeding. Fine. But the left lane is the FAST lane, doesn’t mean you should pull into it and feel like you’re doing just fine because you’re going the speed limit. ---

I can understand people not wanting to speed, but it really does aggravate the shit out of me when someone is doing 25 in a 40 and they give you the mean mug when you go around them. At least do the speed limit. Please. Especially if someone else is behind you. Or at least get in the other lane, make an attempt to be courteous. On the flip side of things, I have been passed on the double yellow on Albany Street while I’m doing 40 already, and douchebags want to go 55. Jesus Christ. Not to say I never speed, but there are kids and pets that might run into the road, and there are too many blind turns to be going that fast. ---

I got a story. I was driving on 1-90 going to exit 2 (fuller road). I was doing 70 in the left lane, speed limit was 55. Anyways, this asshole speeds up on me and I figure I’ll get out of his way when the middle lane clears. This asshole is in his work truck, a ford f-350 with decals of his place of business on the side and a license plate that read HNDYMAN or something like that, and I’m just not clearing the lane fast enough for his taste. He is right on my ass, I couldn’t even see his headlights in my rear window, he was that close. I finally clear the lane and get back behind him, not too close, but again, too close for his taste. He decides to slam on the brakes which causes me to do the same. Mind you, this is I-90 at 5:30 pm, tons of traffic. So this asshole breaking didn’t just affect me. Anyways, Exit 2 is coming up so I get into the middle lane with plenty of room between me and the car in front. The asshole then swerves into my lane with no blinker, again causing me to brake aggressively. I figure, whatever this guys a prick and I get into the exit lane, well this fool does the same thing again. Swerves into my lane and brakes. I slow down and get as far off his ass as possible but I still end up directly behind him at the red light. He sees me there and gets out of his truck, flipping me the bird and generally acting like he’s gonna kick my ass. I just laugh at him and pull out my cellphone, pointing to it and him and his stupid, easily identifiable truck. He gets the idea and starts to head back to his truck. He looked back once and I flipped him off. He acted like he was gonna walk back over but by this time the light was green and other people were honking at his dumbass. All in all it was a good day. ---

I travel to and from Buffalo often, and this shit happens to me all the time. :headbang Little different situation: I’m in Buffalo heading to the 90 to head back to Albany. The ramp to the 33 (highway leading to the 90) was backed up about a mile. I realize that the traffic in the right lane is for my exit about 10 cars in (I was in the left lane). So I slow down, stop (right lane is stopped), and put my right directional on, as several others were doing. When traffic starts inching forward I start to pull slowly into the right lane (you can’t wait for people to let you in in Buffalo). The van I was ‘cutting off’ starts honking and yelling at me. I roll down my window and yell “Want me to drive down to the exit and cut in there or sit and wait like everyone else?”. She just gave me the finger and kept honking. She then tailed me all the way to the exit for the 90. I was willing to sit and wait like everyone else and I was getting shit. :confused ---

It really does aggravate me how rude other drivers are. I always try to let someone in with their directional on, I don’t block side roads when I see someone sitting right there, and if a light is red and someone needs to take a left I’ll let them go. This is the shit other people do to me on a daily basis that drives me up a wall. RUDE FUCKERS. ---

I had a dumb cunt in a Sonata riding my rear bumper on the northway this afternoon. I was in the middle lane with the cruise set at 60 in a 55 because the northway is full of cops and the left lane was open but she’d rather drive on my bumper than pass me. She finally passed me after she realized I wasnt going to speed up while approaching a work zone by the twin bridges and then she cut a truck off to get back in the middle lane. WTF?
