I hate tailgaters. Not the ones that involve beer, food, family, friends, sports and laughter but the ones that feel it's okay to ride close to your bumper on the roadways. It drives me batty when strangers invade my personal space, and this includes my safety space while driving. So I practice what I preach and I try to stay as far away from the driver in front of me as much possible.
This morning, however, it appeared that the dude in front of me thought I was too close for his comfort which, as you've read above, could not have been possible. His perception must've been off because you could've fit a large truck in between us. But he didn't see it that way, or maybe he just woke up on the wrong side of the bed and he chose ME to take his anger out on. Not only did he tap his brakes a kazillion times (no joke, he did) but he felt it necessary to turn around, look at me and give me the finger. I couldn't help but laugh as I shrugged him off and continued to keep my safe distance from him.
But then he did it again as we were sitting at a red light. So I did what any rational driver would've done in this case.....
Just as the light turned green and I saw him looking at me in his rear-view mirror, I smiled, blew him a kiss, got right on his ass right before I crossed over into the passing lane and roared past him beeping, waving and smiling.
I know that was childish, and I know that probably pissed him off more than he already was, and he probably could've TRIED to catch up to me and cause me harm (IF he could catch me) but I don't care.
It made ME feel better! HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YA!
Bye Bye Asshole! *beep beep* :)
Oh you're too funny girl !!! Some people need that lil wake up call. What i love best is when someone cuts me off and then gives ME the finger. lol. was it you ?
ReplyDeletehahaha nooooooooooo I would never flip off a drinking buddy ;)
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you were on here! AWESOME! I'm *following* you now.. muhahahahaha
Tail gating seems to be the thing here in NY too. I almost always do the speed limit or just a tad over...and yet there is STILL some asshat who wants me to go faster. There is usually someone in front of me too, so how can I? 95% of the time it's a jackass in a truck. The other 5% is a dipshit teenage girl on her cellphone. And there is never a cop when you want one.
ReplyDeleteI hate the tailgaters also. When I had my big huge truck (built like a tank), I'd love to have people tailgate me, so I could throw on the brakes and watch them freak out trying to stop. Their cars could not hurt my truck. And, the jerks that would honk at me, I'd just go slower..LOL, weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
ReplyDeleteOMG, it's the last day of the month.. Where have I been?
ReplyDeleteMaybe he had seen something on your car that was Red Sox related?
ReplyDeleteKat, no , the cops are usually busy at the donut shop lol
ReplyDeleteWES! HI! I don't know... where HAVE you been? lol I can picture you doing what you described... too funny!
ReplyDeleteAnonymous... whoever you are... they were in front of me, not behind me :P
ReplyDeleteAnd it's probably good you stay *anonymous* after that comment LOL
you know what annoys me worse than tailgaters? People who drive slow in the 'fast' lane. Are they really THAT stupid and do not understand how the Interstate works? I fucking hate people that just mosey along in the fast lane and have NO CLUE that anyone is behind them.Sometimes I wish my car were equipped with a rocket launcher.
ReplyDeleteLOL Jules!!!!!!!!!!! Well said! =)
