I sincerely hope you crash your vehicle (a particularly ugly SUV), jerk-bitch. I saw your ugly, asexual “face” as you decided to drive up toward me… ona one way street. Yeah, because going around was just too much trouble, dumbass.
Oh, then once you got to an intersection, you managed to turn onto another fucking one-way street going the wrong way. Fuck. I hope you wreck your godamn car. I would love to see the look on the flat, flabby slab you call a face when your insurance company tells you that you get squat.
One of the things that I’ve learned on the Straight Dope is that I really need to ramp up my temper, especially when it comes to traffic related incidents.
Something like the OP describes wouldn’t even stay with me long enough to get to my destination, let alone to when I next logged into the message board to post it.
Well, SOR-ry for not havcing the proper temperment when I suddenly notice that some damned idiot is attempting to kill him/herself by ramming into me via the grotesque disobedience to simple, straightforward (literally) traffic laws.
Man, you are so right. The death penalty is too good for that monster. I mean, since you obviously know it was not just an honest mistake. They’re probably sitting there in their car, with their “face”, right now, just waiting to strike again.
It doesn’t matter if it was an honest mistake. In fact, that would make it worse. At least if it’s an asshole doing it intentionally, there’s some hope of self-preservational intelligence lurking beneath.
“One Way” is the simplest traffic sign you will encounter besides “STOP”. If you’re so colossally incompetent that you manage to screw that up twice in a row, endangering yourself and everyone else on the street, you are unfit to be in control of anything more complex than a sippy cup.
Boneheaded? Sure. Unfit? Maybe. But to read that OP and the followup, you’d think the person was some kind of evil villain intentionally driving the wrong way in order to endanger people. The level of vitriol and desire to retaliate for some imagined aggression is just bizarre.
Hey, did I block the way, laep from my car, and yank the other driver from his, delivering a brutal beating? No.
I stopped my car, let the idiot slide through, and then complained about him/her and expressed my desire to cause pain upon such a dimwitted moron on an international message board, like a civilized adult.
In any case, it’s not like he/she made some minor mistake. Heshe went the wrong way on a one-fucking-way street. It’s just wide enough for the parked cars of parents dropping off at the day care and the near-by resident’s parking area, all facing the same way. It’s clearly marked. There’s a clear way around, except Mr./Miss Emperor of the World apparently didn’t feel like hopping a block. Ironically, he/she could have gotten to the exact same spot had he/she simply turned around in the hotel lot. :rolleyes:
