and other shit that people do while driving that bothers you...




Let's say driver A is at the front of the pack, stopped right before the crosswalk like they're supposed to at a red light

Now driver B pulls up behind him, a good full car length behind. They sit there for a good 4-5 seconds, then decide that they want to get a little closer

The bullshit crawl forward ensues. Being the 3rd driver in this line, I now have two options

Either look like an asshole by leaving a car lenth (and possibly more) in front of me, or look like an asshole for inching forward 30 seconds after I originally stopped (I live in Vegas, these lights will literally take 2 minutes or more)

Seriously, why the fuck do people insist on doing this? Is it a nervous driving tick or something?

File this under things that make me irrationally mad, but still needed its own post

you know if you're going to make that left hand turn wellllllllll ahead of time, why for the love of alll fuck do you wait until the light turns green to put on your blinker.

i could have well enough maneuvered myself around you and been on my way... but nooooo you wait until the light turns green to indicate you want to turn left.

pox upon your entire bloodline FORFUCKINGEVER!!!!!!!!

when they're already halfway in my lane

Yeah, thanks for letting me know dick

vs. no blinker at all.

observationally around these parts, i notice A LOT that people will NOT use their blinker to move over towards the left, however, they will use a blinker to get into the right lane..... baffling

just please use blinkers, they're there for a reason.

=======================================

>making a left

End up sitting at a light for three turns because Katie is too scared to pull out into the intersection and go when the light is about to turn red.

that involve me pinning a vespa in a corner and me getting out of the car.

shit is real.

and they just keep inching forward and then they are almost in the middle of the intersection because they light didn't turn when they thought it would.

My biggest pet peeves in CO are:

-people always driving slow as fuck in the left lane with no one in the right lane at all

-people don't know how to merge and drive like pussies. Most people just come to a complete stop in the merge lane even though there is plenty of room to get up to speed and actually merge.

And in general, people who do the exact speed limit when it ends in a 5 drive me fucking nuts. Like people doing exactly 35 instead of just going 40. It doesn't bother me as much if they are going 40 in a 40 though for some reason. Either way I go 5 over all the time.

-------------------------------------------------
http://www.soundcloud.com/sectachrome

Like they're trying to time it based on how they THINK the lights should work, but things always differ by city, and sometimes even intersections based on how much traffic they get and what time of day it is.

Can't wait for the day I see someone get pulled over for inching past the crosswalk anticipating the green

I'm ultra consistent...I go 5 miles over the speed limit and lock in the cruise. I stay in the right lane, unless I need to pass. Once I have passed, I get back in the right lane and proceed to go back to my 5 over cruise. If you want to go faster, God bless. Don't go all Dukes of Hazard and pass me after I have passed you...only to get back in front of me and I have to pass you again. I'm not changing my speed...YOU ARE. Don't care to play interstate leapfrog with yo punk ass.

Only noticed dude originally because he was one of those mad-aggressive, gotta-change-lanes-every-few-seconds drivers. Back then I used to hotbox while riding a lot, so I'd find a good speed and chill. Dude would go flying by me switching lanes, then a few minutes later I'd see him in my rear view switching lanes all aggressively still.

Fool had no grasp of concepts like "flow of traffic," "passing lanes," or "exit lanes."

shit's infuriating

Fucking assholes. The fuck do they need to stop so far back behind the light or car in front of them?



A lot of people shouldn't be driving automobiles. They just don't have the concentration, spatial awareness or personal responsibility to be able to operate a vehicle safely.

I blame our car-centered culture and the fact that most states pass out driver's licenses to anyone that doesn't crash during the test.

'cause if you're the first one at the light, and I see a car length's worth of space or more in front of you, I'm gonna throw my ride in that space in front of you one way or another.

I HATE people that do that shit...

...that cars in other lanes will try to jump into, causing backups/delays. 3) The roads work by everyone following the fucking rules. When people start doing random shit like stopping arbitrarily, problems happen. It's why the number of annual auto fatalities is far greater than the number of shooting fatalities in the US (every wants to do their own thing).

some dude hollering at some girl(s) or vice versa

sometimes with one of the cars in the wrong lane

driving slow as a mug, messing up all kinda traffic flow

most often with neither looking at the road (don't be a pedestrian)

Even more if one of those cars was originally behind the other and they decided right before I could get close enough to pass them to get in my lane and drive alongside the other slow jerk.


Since 1976

They do it all the fucking time on a few local surface streets.

if you are driving around looking for parking and a car you have already passed starts backing out the space is not yours. You do not get to back up. Shit half the time there is another car behind me. Even if I wanted to back up I cant. So take your L and move forward.

November 8th, 2005 The greatest night in the history of GD!

stop tricking me into thinking there's an empty spot until i'm 5 feet away. if only they'd not pull all the way up to the parking block.

Pedestrians have the right-of-way in parking lots, jackass. Its too many people walking for you to drive like a maniac anyway

but I don't want to look like I'm trying to hard by flooring it to stay ahead of them.

- not signaling when changing lanes, often when i'm clearly in their blind spot, so i have to hit the brakes or abruptly change lanes to avoid a problem.
- going 60 mph (in every lane except the slow lane where they belong) versus a 65 mph speed limit on the freeway.
- hard braking as if they forgot they need to make that right turn, instead of just being safe and circluing around the block and doing it again.
- no regard of right of way in the parking lot (let alone a street). if it's a t-insersection and the lot exit is straight ahead for me, but requires you to turn, at least look left or right to see if i'm coming up on you. don't just pull out.

prius folks aren't aggressive drivers, just invariably one-track minded and/or smugly entitled because they're saving the earth one carbon at a time.

no offense if you own one.

I was curious what specific issues these types of cars would cause, and now I know.

if you take into account the amount of pollution it takes to build a prius (especially the battery) plus factor in any amount of driving you do in one that spools up the combustion engine you see you're never "saving" anything. Shit, you don't even save money by owning one (it takes about 60,000 miles of driving before you break even on gas savings vs price of the car).

When compared to back in NV. And I can confirm that, out here anyway, they are definitely head up their own ass drivers. Just kind of careening along like there's nobody within a five hundred foot radius of them. Not sure if it's the snobby attitude that goes along with driving a Prius or just a strange coincidence, but it's definitely a thing.

I HATED that car. ZERO power steering, stick shift, no AC, barely functional heat, tiny as shit, but for some reason we were stuck driving that fucking thing EVERYWHERE despite having a much larger, far more comfortable Chevy Celebrity Eurosport in the driveway.

Imagine 5 people driving from Detroit to Toronto in the middle of winter in a goddamned Yugo. We were in the back of that thing in parkas and under blankets trying to stay warm the whole trip.

Oddly when we got there the Yugo wasn't available for sale anywhere near Toronto so we got an assload of people asking us about it looking to buy one.

out the right of way. especially in the QT parking lot. they can't understand that straight trumps those coming from the pumps to get out and they'll just shoot out in front of you.

and also folks turning from the middle lane. dumb fuckers.

They built one close to the crib on 67th Ave and Buckeye about a year after we moved to Phoenix. As long as we're living in the SW valley, that is my go-to spot for energy drinks in the morning.

and then when you pull up to them and honk/give the finger/whatever, they don't even look over... thus elevating the road rage due to being ignored.

" Question: I think you should go over the rules of merging and yielding. People just don't get it.

I'm merging on the freeway; my blinker is on; I have nowhere else to go. I am not trying to cut you off. Please let me in!

– Denise, Fife

Answer: It’s a classic road-rage situation: merging traffic struggling to get onto the arterial, and traffic on the mainline refusing to give way.

Either that, or merging drivers who think their turn signal gives them the right to move left, no matter what.

Your frustration is understandable, but the law sides with drivers already on the freeway. They have the right-of-way, and they have no obligation – aside from common courtesy – to make life easier for you.

“The responsibility to safely merge into traffic from an on-ramp lies with the driver of the merging vehicle,” said Trooper Guy Gill, a spokesman for the Washington State Patrol. “Traffic on the freeway has the right of way. There is no law that requires a driver occupying the right lane on the freeway to move over, slow down or take any other action to let a merging vehicle on the freeway.”"

Can't be any clearer than that: Shit is all on you to merge safely; it's the law everywhere.
