So, I’m driving to work today. We had about 4 inches of snow last night, and it was still coming down hard. The roads are shitty, visibility sucks, and driving is slow going.
I’m driving in the center lane (because it’s the least slippery) on the highway. Pigfucker is driving in the right lane, slightly behind me, almost the same speed. I need to get right (so I can take my exit and go to work), and I put on my signal and wait, hoping he’ll slow down about 5 mph so I can get on over. Pigfucker then speeds up so he’s right next to me. I then have to speed up myself (braking on these roads was NOT an option and there was traffic behind me, so I couldn’t just let off the gas. There was not one car behind him), and I get over into my lane, forcing Pigfucker to slow down in the process.
As he changes lanes, (moving to the center lane with extreme annoyance and angst) he very purposefully gets next to me, takes his eyes off the road to stare (not glance) into my car, and flips me the bird. Please bear in mind that he now is not looking at the road, and he’s got one hand on the wheel, endangering himself and others to flip me off.
I cheerfully gave him a ::beep! beep!::, flashed my lights, and waved to him, smiling the whole time. The look on his face was priceless, and I’ll bet he about blew a fucking gasket he was so pissed off. Classic. I even yelled “Have a nice day!!”, hoping he could lip read.
Anyway, my point is- in bad weather, have some fucking consideration for other drivers. Lead, follow, or get the fuck out of the way. At least don’t get pissed that I need to change lanes. Believe me, I would have loved to have kept going straight and headed for someplace other then work, but that’s not how it goes.
For the record, this guy was the grossest looking dirtball I’ve seen in a LONG time. By that I mean as dirty as can be, driving about a 70’s station wagon with half the panels rusted off.
