Okay so by now it is well known that I like to analyze things. People, events, situations, it doesn't really matter if I am interested I like to break them down. Well I have another passion as well. I like to bitch about stuff. Not mindless bitching just for the sake of going off, no I attempt to have a purpose and a direction if I am gonna bitch about something.

Many have already complained about bad drivers, tailgaters, too slow drivers, not dimming your highbeams and so on. Well I got a type of driver that absolutely pisses me off to the point of wanting to yank them out of their vehicle and making them a human speedbump. Those people who while stopping for a train, a light signal or some other reason on a main road and in doing so block the access of the side streets. IT'S A FRIGGIN INTERSECTION YOU MORONS!!!!!!!!! Sure it's an off street and maybe you think noone really uses it but that isn't the point. The point is you shouldn't block an intersection regardless.

People have no consideration for others. Everyone is in their own little world. Talking on the phone, applying their makeup just zoning out to the tunes or talk radio. Why should they care that myself or any number of other people lived down that side street and are on out way to work as well and we need to cross the street that you just blocked access too? There is a train crossing, there are 25 cars in front of you and there are at least 30 more cars behind you and you couldn't have just left enough room for those couple of people on the side streets to cross over.

When this happens to me and I am the first in line on that side street this is what I have done to send a very clear message. I ease ever so slowly out to where my bumper is mere inches from the blockers side door, then I LAY ON MY HORN UNTIL THAT BASTURD GETS THE POINT THAT HIS SELF CONSUMED WORLD ISN'T THE ONLY WORLD IN ORBIT TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!! I will warn you this could lead to an altercation of a phusical nature but such is the price with certain protest.

I implore you good people to be more considerate. It's not that difficult and the world would be a much better place if we all just did a few small things in life. You are not gonna be any ealier or later to or from your destination simply from allowing a 20 foot space between you and the other car in front of you at any intersection.
 
Wal,

This is why I ride a motorcycle. It is the safest mode of transportation. You can't be distracted by eating, talking on cell phone, reading newspaper, putting make up, texting, putting CD's in the stereo, etc when you are riding a motorcycle. You use both hands and feet to operate it and there are no limps left to do anything else other than riding the damn thing safely.
 
Wally I'm liking the anger today. Very nice.

What really irks me is when traffic is backed up and you have the courtesy to stop to let someone out into traffic and they just pull in without a thank you wave. It really pisses me off to the point where I want to ram their car.

Am I being petty?
 
Bread, I want to do a u-turn on the spot and chase that discurtious non-waver down and flog them. How rude! Don't they realize that you just pissed off every driver behind you just to enable them to pull out and continue their day and they don't even have enough understanding of human kindness to simply wave thanks. I agree Bread I so agree.
 
This is why I smoke allot of pot while I drive. Don't give me any shit, I am a professional, do not try this at home. Anyway, it helps me deal with the people like the ones stated above, or the super putz doing 30 in a 45 mph zone, or the joker right on my ass as I follow the 30mph guy.
 
Pavs, I hope you aren't one of those motorcycle riders that darts in and out and between cars like some disgruntled daredevil who thinks he is the next Evil Kenevil. While I do admire the brashness and overall daringness of it. I still almost crap my pants everytime one of these guys comes up on my blindspot like that in a flash.

What happens when you cause a 20 car pileup because you got the crazy munches and got your head stuck in a Cheetos bag?

I ride safely. And when these daredevils do what you describe it is done very safely because it only takes a split of a second to pass a car with a motorcycle. I am more worried about the baby boomers who buy Harleys and have no idea how to ride the damn thing but thought the Harley will suffice for their midlife crisis. A slow moving motorcycle is more dangerous than a fast moving one.

I have been going through my midlife crisis and wanting a bike soooooooooooooo bad. I saw a fat guy on a bike the other day though, not as fat as me and the mental picture has squashed that portion of the crisis now.
 
People who are at a red light and have the option of going straight on through or left, but when the light turns green they decide at the last minute to either put their signal on to turn left or simple just stay still with no signal on, but intending to turn left. These people think that drivers can read their minds. This fucking annoys me.

I'm a big horn person. I also blare my horn when need be, but I have to settle down because I don't need any road rage incidents especially with 2 children and my crazy wife in my car.

Another thing that bothers me these days are drive thrus. I think there should be a drive thru tax. Drive thrus promote laziness.

Another thing I want to bitch about are the fucking smokers who throw their cigarette butts and garbage out their window. Fuck I hate litter bugs.

And another thing I want to bitch about are the fucking tools who are parked at a red light blasting shit music so loud that their thumping bass is making my dash vibrate. Fucking assholes!!!

PUBLIC TRANSIT UNIOINIZED BUS DRIVERS - These fuckers are the worse. They think they own the road and make their own rules.
 
Wally I used to have serious road rage. I've gotten out of my car on several occasions. Don't do that so much anymore.

Wally one time about 14 years ago two guys pulled up next to me in a jeep and completely unprovoked, started yelling at me and talking shit. So I followed them all the way up the highway...way past where I was supposed to turn off. At every light I told them I was going to follow them til they pulled over and kick their asses. They were getting more and more nervous as the county lines began to pile up.

Then we hit a bit of congestion at one light. There were 3 lanes. I was in the middle, they were in the left. The left turn lane was next to them and it had a green arrow. I knew they were going to bolt over in the turn lane once there was a break and I would be stuck in the middle lane. I could see it in their eyes. I had a wrench sitting in the passenger seat. I grabbed it. As they began to pull into the next lane, of course they start flicking me off and shouting. I leaned back and chucked the pliers as hard as I could. Nailed the jagoff in the passenger seat square in the face. These things were pretty heavy. They sped off into my subliminal.

For years I would think about him from time to time. I hoped I put a gaping hole in his grill. Nowadays I just hope he's OK and learned not to mess with people for no reason. The wrong guy is out there. He's always out there. And he's certainly willing to escalate a situation much further than you would be comfortable with.
 
There was one time I was driving alone in a country road. All of sudden the car in front of me hit the brakes and stopped and a guy comes out of the vehicle in the middle of the road. He tells me why are you following me so closely? I said I am not trying too but why are you driving so slow? I don't understand why people don't pull over and let people pass them on country roads if they are not in a hurry.
