Default People Really P!ss Me Off! (Warning, pseudo-road rage story)

So, I'm driving home from work today on this freeway that's only two lanes wide. Of course, in the "fast" lane is someone going no faster than anyone in the slow lane. Finally, the freeway opens up to three lanes (only temporarily) and I swing out into the third lane to pass. Of course, the numbskull in front of me does the same, except he doesn't pass. He sits there. Anyways, the third lane is set to close ahead, so the guy turns on his turn signal to move back over, but he holds on because he knows I'm pissed at him. Instead, he sits with his front bumper even with the rear bumper of the car in the middle lane. Finally, right before the lane starts to end I swing over to the right and pull up next to him (I *love* turbo - high RPM torque rocks!). He tried to move over but I wouldn't let him. He finally gave up and moved in behind me just before he hit the construction barrels. He gave me the "birdie" but I just smiled and waved. Normally, I would not have messed with him like that but come ON, if you're not going to pass the other cars don't sit in the freakin' passing lane like a moron.

Sorry, just had to vent.

Default It's fun.

I like doing that. But what happens when they don't pull in nicely behind you and give you the birdie? What happens when instead they sideswipe you or force you off the road. It happens. Something to think about.

Default if that happens, then you get back on and do the same!!

I hate it when people do **** like that!! It pisses me off so bad. I never instigate anything, but if someone wants to start, I'll finish. This is why I plan to have a hood mounted, retractable grenade launcher installed on my car. That'll teach the bastards!!<p><img SRC="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/Prashantsig2.jpg" BORDER=0></a>

Nah, the only thing that could get a Yugo up to freeway speeds is a tow truck!

Default You showed him!

And if he was indeed a nitwit driver he could have rooted you out his way trashing your car and the innocent mother with a car load of kids in her Caravan next to you. Or even worse... if he was a real nitwit and was packing heat he could have dispatched you to Audi Never Never land, got himself a slick lawyer, and laughed all the way through our judicial process... And for what, to save five minutes on the road. Not intended to be a flame... I see this all the time in the Funshine State. To all my fellow Audi drivers... put on your blinders, ignore the dopes, and keep yourself out of harm's way. Ignoring a-holes pisses them off more than antagonizing them anyway.<p>J.R.S.

Default That is everyone in Connecticut...I hate driving in that state....

People get in the left lane and don't pass. It's so agravating. Maybe I'm just a crazy M*******?
