Angry my drive home today

so yeah i didnt have the greatest day at work today, but my drive home just topped the day off.

first off, as i was pulling out of the workers lot was some ricer in a Scion TC. literally going 50mph on a street slows down to 5mph just so i sit & wait for him to pass before getting onto the road. and that wasnt the only TC i encountered along the way... on a 3 lane Route with only us two, one cut me off. another paced me for a while and backed off and did the ricer flyby. and 4th TC was eatting up the lines like there werent any.
they havent been out very long, but Scions just might make that top 10 "driven by idiots" list. all were silver, but with different color stock rims.
monster truck wannabes.



mind you i dont speed, if i had cruise control i'd definitely be using it for the ride home. I go steady in the right lane (sometimes the middle lane if theres a busy exit) at 55/60 mph. apparently this 18wheeler was thinking opposite and was barreling through the *slow* right lane. i didnt notice him until i glanced in the rearview and saw the reflection of my license plate on his chrome grille.
like this, except behind me in the same lane



last but not least, because of the truck i stayed in the middle lane for a bit. my exit was coming up so i started to find a space in the right lane i could get into. I found a 5 carlength gap inbetween a minivan & oldsmobile, so i started signaling to get back into the right lane. BUT then the carboat ******* started to speed up to close the gap! WTF?!?!?!?
i didnt cut him off right away because i wasnt sure if he just wasnt seeing me signal or just being an *******, so i went ahead a little. Nope, he was being an ***. when the gap was 2 spaces thats when i cut him off.
i bet that fool went apeshit after that too because he dipped into the middle lane w/o signaling, nearly taking out a nice benz that was following me rather closely
it was some **** like this, except black and rusted up



the last part didnt irritate me so much, because here in NJ when the traffic light turns amber, it means "speed up" to get through an intersection. so probably each time my turn signal flashed the oldsmobile guy mustve been thinking "Oh **** its almost red" <speeds up>




edit: oops almost forgot!

im finally in my town on a main road, waiting patiently at a traffic light. some bitch in a 90s golf/cabrio? convertible (w/ the top down of course) tries to be slick and get into the "left lane must turn left" lane. but i stuck my arm out the window and pointed at the sign, so she went behind me. the light turns green i get through the intersection and i see the squirrel about to cross the road so i slow down. guess what! she still wants to be ahead so tries to pass right and ***** up the poor squirrel. it flung up into her driver fenderwell. she pulls over, i give her the "you stupid ***" look and go merrily on my way.




well thats my rant for the evening. thanks for reading

same thing in canada when it's amber you have to speed thru IF you're inside the intersection. By amber you mean yellow no?

ftw, in canada everyone speeds, excpept asians idk why, but so many stereotypes are made about them on that.

Hey, according to the news, Road rage is now classified as a disease.

So now if I blow someone's head off for cutting in front of me, IT'S OK.... I'm SICK. I don't go to prison, I get some meds instead.

Lots of times I wish I had a giant beater car to show people what I really think of their driving.

tC demographics consists highly of young males that are uneducated and just want to mess with anyone on the road. Everyone else just seemed to have a high dose of RR.

while i was in korea, amber (yellow) means nothing. but RED has a meaning of it's own. during the night, when there's a Red light, they just look both ways, and see no cars coming, they just go. but the best part is the public buses. Even during the day, they don't care for the lights, they just go, even if it's green or red. crazy koreans...
