Re: OOT weekly thread: minor things that infuriate you
Just last night I got pissed at a guy because I was on the feeder road, and he was merging onto the feeder (and the highway onramp was about a half-mile down...I'm not getting on the highway, but I'm assuming this guy is. Anyway, he enters into the right lane of the feeder, about 10 car lengths ahead of me. I'm in the left lane, but driving faster than him.
Instead of passing him (and pretty much blocking his opportunity to get onto the highway), I anticipate what he has to do (even though he hasnt put a blinker on), and I move into the right lane behind him, so that he can get over and we can basically criss-cross without either of us slowing down.
So I'm approaching his car, getting pretty close, and he hasn't moved over. I'm like "Duuuude, get OVER!" and my gf is looking at me weird. Now I'm close enough to where I have to put my EFFING BRAKES ON so I don't hit him. I give him about 1 more second, then speed up and pass him on the left. As I pass him I look at him and he's some immigrant looking at me all weird like I did something weird.
Sure enough, right after I pass him, he gets in behind me and enters the freeway, without ever putting a blinker on. I got pissed at that point "GODDAMMIT I KNEW U WERE GETTING ON THE EFFING HIGHWAY!" lol. I yell at my gf "See, I knew what he was doing before he did! And he's looking at me like I'm weird!? F*** HIM!!!"
haha. This happens a lot where I pretty much know when people are about to change lanes and I will adjust for them, but then they sit there too long and I get pissed and end up driving ahead/around anyway. People suck, and I'm not exempt from that. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
