I see you every day. You know who you are. You are the Massengill driving aggressively and recklessly, endangering everyone in your path. During my daily commute I have taken to anoint a daily AOD. There is always a winner; there is often much competition.
Who the fuck do you think you are? Who the fuck are you to put at risk the welfare of all these strangers and their loved ones as well? You are toying with the life of that new dad (a stranger to you, so you could give a fuck) who is driving to his first day back to work after his son was born last week. He can’t wait to be celebrity for a day.
You are toying with the life of that struggling single mom who just landed her new job, and is hopeful but scared that things will start to look better to her and her daughter.
As you dart in and out of traffic on this busy freeway, you are toying with the life of that van-load of family who are embarking on the vacation they have been anticipating for the past six months. Again, you are give-a-fuckless.
I think you think you have balls of iron. I think you think you are a man (and yes, it’s always a male). I think you think that you will drive as you please because fuck you, that’s why.
You are not a man. You are a moron, a piece of shit, and a megapussy all rolled into one. You are a pea-balled child who thinks he’s playing a video game. I have news for you: You are not Mario, you are not driving a cart, and I hope you pierce your scrotum with your steering column. And I hope you remain conscious and aware while it happens, so you can say to yourself ‘I think my steering column just went through my nutsack’.
Please grow up. Please attain at least some minimal level of caring for others, even if you don’t know them. Please drive safely.
Or, if you cannot do that, please die in a solo car-meets-wall collision that harms no one but you and inconveniences few. I even want the wall to survive.
mmm
Not sure if this is a woosh, but I’ve been driving quite a while, and I don’ know that I have seen an increase in the number of bad drivers since uber came about. I know a few uber drivers, and they are the people that I consider to be better than average drivers.
Getting the bad drivers off the streets and into ubers would make things safer, I would think.
Because the car had its Uber sticker on the window.
Our assumption was that it was trying to find where he was supposed to pick up his rider, over shot the intersection, so decided to back up rather than go around the long block.
I’m with ya, Mean Mr. Mustard! Maybe bad drivers are around in the same proportions as ever, or maybe there are more of them…but Gaw Dam, there are way too fucking MANY of them!
My particular hatred is for tailgaters. I’m on the freeway, doing a comfortable 65, and some asswad (often in a big pickup) decides to run up within four car lengths of me. That’s goddam terrifying, and dangerous as hell.
(Interesting way to commit suicide: jam on the brakes real damn hard. At least I’d take that jackanapes with me!)
It must be noted that a good number of disruptions to the smooth and seamless flow of traffic could easily be avoided. Not all of them, but a good lot of them. What is required? The holier-than-thou traffic custodians putzing along in the fast lane could have a monentary understanding of their general surroundings, and move the everloving fuck out of the fast motherfucking lane. Those trapped behind could then proceed about their way without darting about, hither and thither, lane after lane.
bobot: What bothers me about that idea (get out of the fast lane) is that I can never legally drive in the fast lane. In order to avoid slowing down those behind me…I have to drive over the legal speed limit.
I’m paying taxes to build freeway lanes…which I can never legally use.
(Figure I’ve got a lawsuit against the state here?)
Domino’s pizza used to do the same thing with time lines for delivery. They had to kill a few people before they saw the error of their ways. Won’t be long before a handful of lawsuits puts Uber down too.
Friday afternoon I saw a driver turn from Broadway onto 83rd St and go* the wrong way* down a one way street! :eek: He almost hit head on into a car coming the correct way!
People are driving like assholes in my city too ! It always worst around the holidays especially Xmas ! I hate going to the grocery store b/c people are running the stop signs in the parking lot or not looking where they’re driving !
I once saw a city bus start to turn the wrong way on a one-way street. He realized his error…but too late. He couldn’t get out. And people were crowding in behind, so he couldn’t back out. Took police traffic control to clear it up; meanwhile two streets were blocked. Jolly fun!
