An open letter ....

[sestree]

...to the driver of the turquoise Grand Am this morning:

Dear Asshole Driver,

I'm certain your mother never imparted this particular bit of wisdom to you so allow me to do so: you are an absolute asshole jerk. It wasn't bad enough that you felt the inquenchable need to pull in front of me this morning on I95 northbound (just before the 175 exit) you did so even though no cars were behind me in my lane for nearly 1/2 a mile. Even so, yes I must admit you used your blinker. This does not mitigate the fact that you then proceeded to do 3-5 mph below the speed of the cars in front of you.

I patiently followed you for another mile as my exit was coming up. I did not yell, scream, or fuss - my fingers stayed on the wheel at all times. Then as I put my blinker on to change to the right hand lane - in obvious anticipation of my exit - YOU DID IT AGAIN. The difference was this time I had to slam on my brakes and this time you didn't even bother with the blinker. You probably were too busy flipping your cigarette ash out the window.

THAT time I used the horn. Yes, I will agree I used it longer than absolutely necessary I'm certain but that still doesn't mean you needed yet again to slow below the speed of other cars in your lane. That was just rude.

Side note - if you cannot drive and handle your cigarette at the same time, then you should cease one of those activities while performing the other.

Signed:

A royally pissed off very unhappy commuter.

p.s. I am copying this everywhere I can today including platewire but no I didn't write down your license plate ... when I drive my car I drive my car - I do not multitask my way hazardously down the highway ....

I told you we needed the gatling gun with an optical aiming reticle attachment installed on the rollbar, but no, you said it would spoil the gas mileage. I think we can still get a Jeep dealer to install a refit.

oh LMAO honey - I do adore you :)

Actually I was considering the gas mileage lost if we put a big pipe bumper on the front LOL

I couldn't believe this asshole. He also got off on 100 Eastbound and tried that shit again but I was one up on him and tailgatedstayed close to the guy in front of me so he couldn't cut me off and slow down again.

I was NOT driving clear to my exit with THAT again.

On an unrelated note, I need a killer jeep avatar don'tcha think?

I've thought about putting those "brush guards* on the front of my truck too... if nothing else, I'll mount me a whole bunch of really bright lights on them and when some moron does that kind of thing to me... they'll be blind next time they look in the mirror.

hehehehehehehe

Possibly illegal but creative I must admit ;)

I'm still trying to figure out how to put pop-up machine guns and rocket launchers into my truck. One of these days, that cap on the back of my truck... won't be just covering the bed of my truck... muahahaha...

as for the driver, if there was room to race past him while he was still oblivious on the on ramp... I'd have done that... rules of gross tonage apply... if my vehicle is bigger than yours, I have the right of way *evil laugh*

[sestree.livejournal.com]

LOL @ rules of gross tonage but the problem was he pulled from the left in front of me.

Yes children he passed me on the left to pull in front of me and go slower. I have yet to figure out the logic in THAT. Had he been on the right with his blinnker I possibly still would've let him in (rewarding good behavior - aren't you a good boy - good boy use blinker here have a nice candy) but I should've passed the moron before we got to my exit.

::sigh::

Teach ME to be nice.

As for your pop-up machine guns LMAO ! Add a flame thrower to that mix and I'll sell tickets ;)

[majorchaos.livejournal.com]

yeah, sounds like a real moron... always pass them buggers.

As for the flame thrower... to explosive... bullets are much easier to control and handle.

Actually, I've been thinking of putting in paintball guns... maybe replace the paint in the balls with acid.. mmm... maybe not... either way leave a nice mess on their car. :D

[sestree.livejournal.com]

ahhhhh but the visual deterrant of a flame thrower says YES to me.

Me Like Fire !

LOL @ paintballs vs acid. hmmm hard choice there.

Baby I understand. You know the rants I go on about a-hole drivers...ggrrrrrrr but alas, writing a letter, like you did above, makes it better for me as the alternative is a jail sentence after I BASH MY CAR INTO THE IDIOT!!:-)

the alternative is a jail sentence after I BASH MY CAR INTO THE IDIOT!!:-)

Believe me I have thought of that many times as well.

This could be why they don't want us to have a concealed carry permit wouldn't it?

heh !!

Believe me I feel muuuuuuch better now LOL
