So I'm sitting in traffic yesterday at a light, outta nowhere some jerkoff pulls up to my left, obviously looking to butt his way in. I said to myself ok, if he puts on his signal I'll let him in, otherwise screw him. I say if you can't give me the courtesy of a signal, FU, what am I a mind reader?
So traffic starts moving, still no signal, and he's trying to come into my lane. I start hugging the bumper of the car in front of me, and he ends up moving in behind me. He then swings around to the right lane, pulls up along side me, and trys the old stare down routine (keep in mind he's got a kid in the car, making him even more of a jerkoff for acting like this). Anyway, I'm not buying his stare down game, I keep looking straight ahead to not give the guy the satisfaction, meanwhile my blood is freakin boiling, finally I look at the guy unable to resist any longer and flip him off.
We've all heard of beer muscles, but what about car muscles. Why do people get all tough in their cars? You know damn well if you were standing face to face with guys like this they wouldn't say shit.
F idiot drivers.

Oh man, you just hit one of my biggest pet peeves right on the head. I HATE people who try to change lanes without using a signal. I'm the same way as you, if they use a signal I politely let them in. If they don't use the signal, it's game on. I pretty much try to make their life as miserable as possible, trying to block every move they make. Once someone tries to do that to me, getting where I'm going becomes secondary to making their life miserable.
F idiot drivers is right.

I'm entertained by your story because I feel like I'm the ONLY person to act that way. Like when I'm in traffic I'll ALWAYS let one person in if they have their signal light on, but if they want to butt in, they can f*ck off. It takes less than a second to do and makes such a HUGE difference in courtesy.
Another FU goes to ALL the big ass trucks that drive FASTER when it rains. Honestly, I think that these dumbasses think that their stupid trucks get BETTER traction when it rains. I saw a guy taking his son to school pass me in a 55 going at least 80 in the RAIN. :mad:

HAHA! I'm so glad that we have fellow road ragers on here. I get so freakin' pissed when I drive I have to calm down often when I get to where I'm going. Question for all you guys who live in VA and this is nothing against NJ people, but is Virginia becoming South New Jersey? I was counting the other day on the interstate and 6 out of 10 cars were from New Jersey. And 6 out of 6 of those cars drove like total jackasses. Great, you're from "the city", but you're in Virginia now, stop driving like a jerkoff.

What I hate most and this happens to me alot is when someone gets in front of you and then start braking. WTF?
Or how about when you're cruising down a 2 lane street, and theres that one dude sitting on a side street trying turn on to your street and without hesitation jumps right in front of you and you have practically slam your brakes! What makes it worse is that no one was behind me!!!! Why couldn't you wait until I passed you f-ing douchebag!!!!!!!!!
God I have road rage.

And I agree about your second point. Like they sit there and look at you and COULD have gone without irritating you BUT they sit there and sit there and sit there and THEN go and THEN go in the lane that YOU'RE in. At least go in the other lane.

My favorite is when 2 lanes merge to one lane, and the jackass spends up to pass you, only to make a turn at the very next intersection. I mean just file in line and then you dont have to speed up to pass then slam on the break to make the turn. F....you.

People not using turn signals is a huge pet peeve of mine. But so are people who put the turn signal on then don't do anything. Like when you're driving and you see the person in the other lane put the turn signal on so you slow down a bit to let them in. And they just keep driving and you keep waiting. Finally you say to yourself "well they're not changing lanes I guess" so you speed up and then that's when they decide to get in your lane
Anyway, here's a story for you guys. I'm on a two-lane road one day that's about to merge into a one lane road. This car starts tailgating behind me then at the last second gets in the second lane and cuts me right off. No signal, nothing. And it was so last second I had to slam my brakes on. So do the cars behind me. Everyone is honking their horn at me. And of course this clown just drives off. Anyhow I see him a little further down about to make a left turn onto a side street. And he's driving a black Mercedes convertible so I'm like I'm going to pull beside him on the shoulder and let him know what's up. So I pull up beside him look over at him and honk my horn. He turns his head my way....and it's freakin' Riddick Bowe! So I just smiled, gave him a thumbs up. He gave me one back and I went about my day. I was angry, but I still had my bones and brain cells intact and I wanted to keep it that way.
