What really pisses me off is drivers who go too slow when I'm in a hurry, then, when I try to pass their sorry asses, they speed up. This one time, over on 11th Avenue, just before it becomes a one way street, this jackass in a lavender Mazda Miata with a rainbow bumper sticker wouldn't go fast enough, so I swerve around to pass him. The bozo refuses to let me back over. He finally let's me back over, but then he blasts his horn at me, causing me to look in my rearview mirror and, as a result, not see the car ahead of me stop. I rear-ended the guy ahead of me and the joker in the purple car just sat there laughing at me. To make it worse, there was a cop there that saw the whole thing! It's okay, though. I got the Miata's license plate number. I'm going to track the driver down and cut his testicles off. :pissed:

Well back from class...As I thought the merging area is probably even less than 40ft...It's even worse than I thought since we had this discussion b/c I actually payed more attention to the distance instead of just trying to merge...It is really short...Wish I had a camera...The ramp is not very long either...So I rest my case...

Trying to take a picture while you make that merge would undoubtedly make your merging process more safe, as you're paying close attention to where you're going.

so, what you're saying is that you have far less of an issue creating a situation that could result in great physical harm to another person than with someone who speeds and passes traffic. buddy, i think that you have to rethink your priorities here. not letting her merge is one thing. providing a spot and letting her merge and then honking in hopes of rattling her is quite another.

granted, she's probably a bad driver, and she needs to learn not to drive like that. however, would you feel such glee if she had badly hurt herself?

Maybe I should rephrase. I did not honk in hopes that she would get into an accident. I honked cause I was damn pissed off at her driving. The accident was a minor fender bender and it was uncanny that an officer was there to see the whole thing. Trust me if it had looked serious, I would have stopped to help. Inside though, I was happy I had taught her a lesson because I knew the only thing that would be hurting was her checkbook, not her body

Are you a woman Katt? :wink2:

Anyway, I drive a Nissan Maxima if you remember the recent car thread, so it must've been another guy :)

okay. that sounds much better. i have no problem with schadenfreude, especially when the other person learns a lesson without enduring severe pain.
